NATIONAL GUARD
REGIMENTS TO BE NUM-
BERED AFTER REGULARS

Washington, July 2.-Designation
of all army regiments hereafter by
number and service branch only.
without distinction between units of
the regulars, National Guard and ma
tional army. has been decided on by
the war department to simplify Of
fetal records of the great war forces
now being developed.
The regular regiments will retain
their present names from the First
infantry, First cavalry" ETC., up
ward. The National Guard regi-
ments will be renamed, their num-
bers beginning where those of the
regulars end. and the new units to
be organized under the darft will
take their numbers onward from the
last of the guard regiments.
For the purpose of local identified
ton. but not the official records. Ma
ments will be permitted to use in
parenthesis after their names the
names of the States from which they
come. In case of the National Guard,
the former name of the regiment may
be used in full in parenthesis, in
Guiding both the name of the State
and the former State number. Thus
a national army regiment could be
called the 1.-TWO Hundred and Fifth
infantry (Alabama)" or the Sixty
fifth Field artillery (Tennessee),"
while a National Guard regiment
might use the designation "Sixty-
sixth infantry (F'irst Georgia." or
Tenth engineers (Twenty-second
Louisianna)." No parenthesis would
imply regulars.

Careless Use of Soap
 SpoiIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully. if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain, too much aIkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father. which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy (it's very cheap). and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

Today and Saturday the Breed will present Vivian Martin in the five-part Paramount photoplay. The Stronger Love. This is a photoplay that is not hampered by studio walls as the vast ness of Natures stage gives the at- mosphere of it a singular grandeur. It is an outdoor mountain and pine woods story.
 On the mountain live two clans. The crest of the mountain is the boundary line. The outer world is shut off by the encircling hills and these primi- tive people toll and spin: live and die: in a little world very strange to our city life. But from this photo drama we learn that such a strange world can have it's heartaches. it's bit ter passions and it's momersS of ex- altation. The crudity of these sur- roundings serve as a strong contrast to the fairy-like and aesthetic beauty of the star, Vivian Martin. who in part of singular appeal makes this remark able production
 The photoplay is so unusual in its solution one would be safe in ventur- ing no opinion concerning its outcome up to the last minute of it's closing. The struggle of this little girl of the mountains first to save her city lover from death at the hands of the noun taineerS and then to save the sre<Srs of her mountain lover. who has been true to her in spite of ample oppor- tunity for misunderstanding furnishes that will hold the interest of all to the last foot of film.

 In addition to the singing, there will be two reels of interesting moving pictures depicting life in the south and at Hampton.
