STATE WILL RECEIVE
 CREDIT FOR OvERDRAFT
Second Quota Will Be Assigned on
 Fair Basis.

Connecticut will receive credit. on
 the next draft for the excess of men taken in the first draft because of the inaccurate estimates of population and will be assigned its second quota on a fair basis if it is possible for Pro- vost Marshal E. M. Crowder to bring about the necessary changes in the draft system followed by the federal government. This was General Crow der's promise to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb when the states chief execu- tive saw him in Washington last week In every particular, General Crowder conceded the justice of Connecticut's claim for relief from the excessive number of men taken in the draft un- der the estimates of population upon which it was based, according to a statement given out today by Gov ernor Holcomb through the Connecti- cut State Council of Defense. This promise is for action which Governor Holcomb and the State Council of Defense have been striving for some time to secure.
 Governor Ho1comb and Hon. Homer s. Cummings, a member of the Con necticut State Council of Defense, dad a conference with President Wilson on last Wednesday, concerning the exces- sive quota assigned to Connecticut by reason of predicating its estimated population upon the registration fig ures. The president seemed some what familiar with the situation in this state as result of the protests

 BODY WILL KNOW,

Almost evsryons knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded. streatc- ed or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home. which ts noussy and trouble some.
 Nowadays ws simply ask at any drug store for '"Wyeth's Sage and su1- phur Compound" You will get a large bottle of this old-tfme recipe improved by the addition of other Ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one c can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it 50 naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time;' by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- phcation or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended fer the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS COMMITTEE
Appointed by Town Committee of State Defense Council Duty Will be Assist All Norwich Men in the Service in Matters of Business Private Nature

The town committee for Norwich. an auxiliary of the Connecticut State Council of Defense. has appointed a sub ub-committee, whose duty will be to act as 8 business committee for all the soldiers and sailors from the town Of Norwich enlisted in the National service. The subcommittee Is organ ized to assist in matters of 8 business or private nature all sailors and sol diers in the service of this country from this town. and 1t is planned that each sailor and soldier shall be noti- fled of the existence of this commit tee and advised that they may com municAte with 1t from time to time and rely upon it's help as indicated. whenever possible. The same plan has been adopted and Is being carried out in the other towns and cities throughout the state.
 For the immediate present the com mittee has the duty and the pleasure of raising a fund of six to eight hun dred dollars to carry out the plans of the work. It IS desired to raise this fund by small popular subscriptions rather than by large donations. It will require only very small amount from each one. The greater part of the fund will be used to satisfy a re- quest from the Norwich boys at Camp Devens, Ayers Mass. At their head

quarters company barracks. room is provided for them for recreation. Other cities have generously provided their boys with pool tables, games. or musical instruments. So far no pro- vision has been made for the Norwich boys by the citizens of the city of Norwich. Games, pool tables. musical instruments, provided in this way are for the exclusive use of the boys from the town or city by which they are presented. The Norwich boys are particularly anxious to secure a good photograph with records, games. reading matter, and a pool table. It is proposed to leave the property at Camp Devens so that when the pres ent quota. moves, it will be ready and available for the nex quota of Nor wich boys.

Royal G. Holmes and James J. Boyd. The treasurer of the sub- committee is Henry L. Frisbie, cashier of the Uncas National bank, with whom the public are requested to leave their subscriptions.

The top is covered with sand and turf, and every time a fellow forgot him self and stood VS, he would knock down a whole lot of sand filling his neck full, and also the other fellows in the dugout. While we were on duty there, we started fire, which kept the dampness from coming in. When we first started it the smoke was so great we all had, to beat H in- to the trench to keep from being suf- located, but twas more or less sport at that.

turn trips when trucks ordinarily tra- vel empty. For example. trucks are now being used to carry freight from New Britain to Hartford for New empty. Under the new plan freight held in Hartford for delivery in New Britain which the railroad is unable to transport would be carried to New Britain by these trucks on their return trips. The owners of the trucks would be compensated by the shippers for whom the deliveries would be made.
 The project will not only relieve more railroad facilities at the disposal of the government but would make the motor truck service of the truck owners more efficient. The plan also trucks which are idle part of each day or week.
 There are 1f,5oo motor trucks in the state according to registration fig ures on file in the office of the com missioner of motor vehicles, and in order to reach all the owners of these cars, Commissioner Stoecke1 has sent to each truck, owner in Connecticut a return post card asking him if he is willing to cooperate in making the plan successful. The appeal is headed by the legend: "Connecticut Must Have More Transportation Facilities It continues:
 Are your trucks carrying back Il. Are they ever idle? If so we can find employment for them. Are they 100 per cent. efficient? If not we can make them so. This means profit to you helps relieve freight congestion and speed up transportation.
 r You can do your bit,' render i'm portant service, improve your busi- ness methods, take over short 11auls which the railroads cannot handle, prevent delays and help win the war; ..--.. -..-..-..
 The return section of the card con- tainS space for information as to tl' a number and capacity of trucks owTe" by the person to whom it is addressed and asks the following qrestions: Will you carry back loads for a req sonab1e compensation Will you rent your truck at full or part capacity? How many hours, or days a week, can your trucks be had for this plan? Have you any established delivery routes
 Some details of the plan have yet to be arranged. It will be necessary which will act as connecting links be- tween shippers and truck owners so that the latter can be directed from time to time to the places where freight is awaiting their trucks The organization plans are now being con- s;dered: CD To have the bureaus that will be esta blished in various cities and towns to act as clearing houses organized by the shippers themselves as sub ub-committees of the Council of Defense. It is possible that a com bination of the two plans will be worked out, but no decision has yet been reached in regard to this phase Of the project.

CHANGE MADE IN
 POST CARD RULING
Ali Cards, Government and Private,
 Subject to Two Cent Rate.

Postmaster Murphy has received in structions dated October 29th, that modifies the ruling of October 23rd on post cards or private mailing cards, the new ruling makes all cards both government or private made, subject to the two cent rate whether written or printed, the public will notice that this ruling, requires two cents on all souvenir cards whether they contain writing or not.
 Since the ruling made by Postmas- ter General A. s. Bur1eson last Aug ust that magazines containing the pre- sent to United States soldiers and sailors at the front, the publishers have had time to comply with the in structions of the post office depart ment, and today there is hardly a magazine of any importance on any news stand which does not bear. on it's cover the legend:
 NOTICE TO READER
 When you finish reading this mag notice, hand same to any postal em- ployee and it will be placed in the hands of our soldiers and sailors, at the front No wrapping: no address
 "A. s. RURLESON,
 Postmaster General"
 Only magazines containing the printed notice can be sent at this spe- cia1 rate. which is considerably lower than the regular mailing charge. es- pecial1y for mail to be sent abroad, so old magazines can not be sent. But all periodicals which contain these notices need only be stamped and sent to any local. office or carrier without wrapping or addressing, to be delivered to some soldier or sailor in France or England or elsewhere in active service. The sender buys the stamp; Uncle Sam does the rest.
 The scheme is said to have met all ready with the success and many of the ships which are leaving this coun- try for Europe carry bags of maga- zines straight from home to soldiers who are unable to read "LIllustra- ton" or enjoy the peculiar flavor of the humor that it is said can be found in Punch
