COLONEL DOOLEY
TO RESIGN FROM
NATIONAL GUARD
Business Matters Make 1t I'M
perative-TO Hand in Res
ignation First of Year

Col. John J. Dooley, chief of ord
nance of the Maine National Guard,
will resign, his resignation to be hand
ed to the Governor the first of the new
year. Business matters make it i'm
peratlve for the colonel to take this
action.
Col. Dooley is one of the recognized
authorities of the country on military
rifle shooting. In addition to his duties
with the ammunition company, his ser
vices, rs an executive officer at the
big military and State rifle shoots
throughout the country are constantly
in demand He has just returned from
the big national match at the Seagirt.
n. j.. range, one of the first ranges
in the country. There he was the range
officer Of the shoot.
For several years now Col. Dooley
has had charge of the military de-
partment Of the United States Cart
ridge Co.
Has Worked His Way Up
Col Dooley has worked his way up
In the guard to his present position,
by his own energy. He entered the
service in 1899. At that time he became
a hospital steward with the old First
Regiment. now the Coast Artillery
Corps. He quickly became interested
in small arms practice. He developed
n proficiency with the rifle which at
tracted attention. The result of his
work along this line was that in 1901,
when Lieut.. Elliott c. Dill, then in
spector Of rifle practice in the First
Regiment, was appointed by Gov. Hill
inspector general of rifle practice in
the State Dooley was selected to sue
coed him.
In 1905, the office of assistant inspec-
tor general of Maine was created and
Dooley was selected for the place with
the title Of major. In 1908. this office as
we'll as that of inspector general was
abolished and the ordnance department
created Col Dill was made chief of
the department and Major Dooles the
assistant.
When Gov Fernald in 1909, select
ed Col. Dill to be adiutant general to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna
ticn of Adj. Farnham, he promoted
Maj. Dooley to be chief of ordnance
with the rank of colonel. He has held
this position ever since.
The present assistant chief of ord
nance is Mai Gilbert NJ. Elliott of
Brunswick, one of the best men on
military shooting in Maine. 1t is ex-
pocted that he will succeed Col Dooley
as head Of the department next year.
This fact makes the guardsmen feel
a bit better over the knowledge Of Col
DooIey's coming resignation. for it as
sures them a head of that department
we'll qualified for the place and one
who has a thorough knowledge of the
work.

The Iong-Hour Men.

When close upon the sunset hour
The welcome whistle blows.
The workman takes his dinner-paii
And honleward gaily goes.
He finds the table neatly spread,
And supper smoking hot.
And softly huns little tune,
Contented with his lot.
He trots the baby on his knee.
And when the papers read,
Knocks out the ashes from his pipe,
And early goes to bed.
His health is good, his heart Is light,
His slunber sweet and sound
How different is 1t with the men
Who make the wheels go round'
The banker sits before his desk
Till far into the night.
A thousand things demand his care
And thread his locks with white.
The manufacturer is late
When notes are falling due.
And threatened strikes and damage
The merchants path pursue.
Eight hours. and then the toiier drops
His yoke beside his tools,
Eight hours. and all the spindles rest,
The flaming furnace cools,
But still the business man. although
His eyes for sleep are dim.
Must grind away. there Is as yet
No eight-hour law for him.

ners in four successive years, some
club whose name begins with b comes

Do You Give Your Daughter
Monthly Allowance?

In the August Woman's Home Com
parion appears page entitled Good
Ideas for Girls. One of the slig-
gestions on this page has to do with
monthly allowances for girls. The
writer says that the charge is often
made by men that women are ex-
trayagant, but she asks whether the
men have never realized that the
remedy lies In their own hands-that
if they do their share in training their
own daughters. the woman OF the mex,
generation will have some knowledge
OF administering money. The writer
goes on with her suggestion:
NO. the real solution Is more in
elusive, II your daughter is ever to
know the value of money. you must
