II any employer actually discharges
rusrdsaan for performance OF his military
duty there is so-called legal redress. The penal
law provides a penalty of not more than year

employers ATTITUDE hot
only hinders men from
attending drills and
camp, but also actually
keeps them from join
ing the guard. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. The
business man wants to
make money, and there
is no immediate benefit
to him in the National
Guard. In fact, the pub
lie spirited employer
who allows his men to
do militia duty without
forfeiture Of pay or of
vacation is at a consid-
cradle disadvantage
when competing with
one who excludes mill
tiamen. This is mani

only does it keep the
men away from drill
and manruvres. but it
lowers efficiency by
compelling the COM
psny officers to spend
a large part Of their
time in visiting en-
ployers and arguing
over what is our estab-
lished right by law
the right of compelling
our men 70 present
themselves for military
duty when we call upon
them. I count the at
titude of employers in

ploycrs OF labor show
little or no disposition
to cooperate with the
National Guard in its
efforts to build up an
efficient organization.
A number of men OF
this regiment find 1t
most difficult to obtain
permission to attend
drills unless it is at a
sacrifice of their pay,
and, sometimes, Of their
positions. 1t frequent

BY CAPTAIN WILLIAM d. FINCKE,
ADJUTANT FOR COLONEL N. B.
THURSTON, OF THE 18TH COAST
DEFENCE.

Colonel Thurston has just been assigned TO
the 18th and referred the writer TO his adjutant
as better conversant with conditions in that
particular command)
/ have known or number OF instances
where men have lost their positions after hav-
ing returned from tour OF field service, or
where they have absented themselves from their
various occupations by reason Of attendance
at parades or at small arms practice The
great difficulty, however, is in being able 10
prove that they lost their positions because OF
their attendance at military duties. We had
one case in the I'd Company during the last
season where man sought to be detailed TO
the special detachment of markers and scorers
for month, stating that he needed the detail
because he had lost his position on account
OF going to camp at Fort H. G. Wright with
his regiment last summer. / called the atten-
ton Of the company commander to this case
ard he reported to me some time after that
he had gone Eto the matter very carefully,
but naturally the employer had given another
reason for dispensing with the services OF this
man, and there was no way in which it could
be. proved that he was discharged because he
went to camp.

the law which requires their supeFlorS 70 permit
them TO attend to their military duties, lind it
difficult and often impossible to obtain the
required permission. If some OF the large en-
ployers would arrange their schedules in such
a way as to enable national guardsmen to at
tend TO their military duties material I'M
movement would be noted, in so far as this
regiment, at least, is concerned. The same
thing would apply in the case OF the federal
and city governments.

How many young

is even more averse TO

There is no better
word to describe the
employers attitude
than selhshness, and
a very narrow selfish
ness at that. There
have been many cases
in my command where
men have been dis
charged for perform
ing their duty, or pre-
vented from perform
ing II by threat Of dis
charge. Their en-
ployers. in case OF a
disturbance OF any
kind would be the first
to cell loudly for mill

those that give US
trouble is the Federal

there will be a better
state of affairs in the
different commands.
The ignorance regard
ing the guard is simply
astonishing. The in
difference OF outsiders
concerning it is pitia-
bic. There have been
a number Of cases in
my regiment where
men have come back
from camp duty to be
discharged within a
week for some differ
cnt alleged reason.
There are still more
cases where employers
have refused to grant
permission for their

Governments can put their prisoners OF war TO

prisoners rank and capacity. Also the work must
not be excessive relate to military matters and
in all cases must the labor be pai6 for.

Among the chief offenders, strange as it
may SEEM is the Post Office Department And
while the attitude of the municipal depart
ments is theoretically favorable, we have trou-
bic with their men also. 1t comes mainly
through foremen and underlings, in spite of a
rule that the city employee is entitled to pay
and to vacation without reference to guard
duty.

In ancient times prisoners of war were killed,
unless, of course, the bellgerents found it more
profitable to exchange or liberate them for ran

Mr.. Crane and his associates. that a

When You Wash Your
'- Hair Don't Use Soap

Most soaps ana prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious. as it dries the scalp and
makes tha hair brittle, 81 -.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's. very
cheap. and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store. and few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it In, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and is soft. fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han.
die Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dand-
