Of what may be called innocent fun.
From the beginning Of the Chris
tian era--even before-the practice
Of designating and worshiping
saints has been q religious custom.
Special days were assigned to the
worship Of each saint, but, as years
and centuries passed, it was found
that there were more saints than
there were days in the year. To
take care of the overflow, as 1t were.
November was designated as .

saints and known As All-Hallow

ing it, was kept as vigil and known
as All.HaloW eve.

that all the spirits walked the earth

without such force of Reserv-
fists the Navy will not be able ade-
uuately to perform its mission if
fighting should break out, Admiral
Barley declared.
Although one Of the newest war
ships afloat, the Oregon City. like
other ships of the Reserve Fleet,
has only a skeleton complement of
Regulars. The Navy therefore is de-
pendent upon Reservists to man
these ships, should they be needed.
During the first day or two al
the dock in Philadelphia, Reservists
ordered to the experimental cruise
were issued bedding and assigned
berths, division and battle stations.

Despite the failure Of the planes

surface and sky. In fact this had
been going on ever since the ship
got underway. All targets appearing
on the radar screen were plotted
and tracked. Within about q minute
from the time target was picked
up men working on the plotting
boards were able to tell its direction
and speed and if 1t was another ship,
to inform the officer Of the deck at
what distance the other ship would
pass the Oregon City, If the courses
of both ships were maintained.
Electronic Devices Remove i.
Many Hazards to Vessels
In this manner, ships of the mod

threatened the preradar mariner.
Radar and other electronics equip
ment requires constant and skilled
maintenance. With personnel as
signed the oregon City as a unit Of
the 4th tReserve) Fdet, it had
been impossible to do more than
turn the equipment on and operate
it periodically.
Admiral Barley pointed out
that vessels of his 4th CReserve)

and most formidable-could be kept
ready to 60 If trouble should break
out by regularly cruising Reservists.

which the present generation may
have knowledge there was Prof. L.

dictionary says that a sutler is one
who follows an army and sells pro.
visions, liquors, ETC.. to the troops
L He early established himself at Tenn.
perance Hall, 914 E street NV.
where he remained until about 1888
when he removed to Masonic Tenn
pie, Ninth and F streets.
Prof. Marini's school was attend
ed by Washington's elite and here
for q while he was assisted by Mis-!
Flora Cook, who, as Miss Dennison
some time afterward began teachint
for herself and subsequently con-
tinued to do so as Miss Flora C.
Dyer. ....-
George T. Sheldon, another early
instructor of the light fantastic and
probably as well known as Prof
Marini, began teaching toward the
close of the Civil War. His dancing
academies were on Pennsylvania
avenue, near Seventeenth street
and then at the northeast corner Of
