straw hat IS no more in evidence, and
the peek-a-b0O waste is relegated 10 the

Uniforms Not Changed.
The last question TO come before ths
encampment was one that has been much
discussed throughout the past yeaT-that
Of the proposed change in uniform Incl
dentaIly. the insignia Of department COM
manders is changed from that Of the
silver eagle TO the single star The Off
cial badge of the order remains the same.
II was determined that the present
blue-and-gray uniform should remain un-
changed; that either the campaign hat or
the blUe-and-gray cap, with black visor,
may be worn, and that either viii be reg
ulation. There shall be no designation OF
rank upon the cap. In camps composed
of naval veterans the members thereof
may select a distinctive naval Uniform,
subject to the approval of the COM
mander-in-chief Comrades who have not
the 5lue-and-gray uniform of the order
may wear at any time the uniform Of
their former service, and the same shall
be recognized as regulation.
Col. Harrison moved that the whole
matter OF uliform be deferred until the
next national encampmenJ, and this mo-
ton was carried. but was afJcrward re-
considered. and the above regulations
went into effect
