Dear Daney: r.
As our platoon is on guard tonight
and l am free until four q. m. lat
which time, by the way, l am under
orders to capitulate to Morpheus)
will take up the good work of keeping
you informed.
John McCook and Emory White hap
pened up our way on the double quick
and proper cadence and the Crescoites
being in squad formation led them
promptly to the "canteen. 1t is to be
noted that this institution is not to be
idlv passed by tourists and their guides
and so our guests took the third degree
Of candy, cigars and cider like men; as
for US our one fault is conviviality. Be-
sides, neither of the above men sign
pay rolls or have this privilege every
day, but we waive the rule so m lch in
the case Of civilian friends as it means
six per cent for our tables. Our hon.
ored friends were accompanied by that
boy who sings at funerals and other
festivities.
George flopper and his mother-in-
laws daughter were also visitors here.

not visit our "canteen" and his sojourn
was brief.
We have had twenty mile march to-
day, starting at 8 Ia. m. and arriving
back here at p. M. with an hour in
terval for "mess." Our platoon gets q
double dose as we had to 60 on guard
at $50 for q period of "a hours. Each
man guards for two hours and sleeps
four. In this manner he gets 16 hours
rest with only hours guard duty. But
for all the marching have had only
one relief call and that was because
one of our mules insisted on bothering
the rest with his knowledge of his
new freedom" Rowever, our Lieu
tenant just informed me that he barely
escaped death at the hands of Swed-
ish guard who insisted on his stopping.
We are burdened with new rifles, and
contrary to the report Of your cores
pondent, they are "Enfields," the Eng
lish rifles, and not the more graceful
Springfield model. This first named
"siege gum weighs nine pounds and is
built for hard service rather than for
parlor use. 1t has the happy faculty

scouts DO Good WORK
With ARMIES IN France

Frank F. Gray. Scout commissioner
Of Montclair. n j.. was the chief speak
er last night at the meeting Of the
Scoutmasters' Association in the rooms
Of the Y. NJ. C. A. He spoke Of the
work the Scouts are doing in France,
and referred to the influence the train
ing they get has upon the young man
after he has grown up.
He touched briefly upon what he
characterized as the mistake in allow
ing the boys to be brought up by wo-
men, at a period when boys required
the companlonshlp and training Of
manly, vigorous men. "Womanhood is
a beautiful thing" he said in its
quality there IS much Of the divine.
But there is a period in his growth
when a boy needs the close association
with qualities which are found only
among vigorous virile manhood
Mr.. Gray said he also was a proba-
ton officer Of Montclair, and told Of
much OF the work done among the
Boy Scouts Of that place In assisting
the delnquents OF the place. He has
Travelled extensively and had had an
opportunity to witness many Of tho
things now being done in Europe IN
connection with the war.

Movie Actresses
and Their Hair

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact, many are leading ladies Just be-
cause Of their attractive locks. IN
duiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty Of their hair by careful sham
pooling, not with any soap or make
shift, but with simple mixture by
putting teaspoonful Of canthrox
(Which they get from the druggist) ia
"A cup Of hot water and applying this
instead Of soap. This full cup Of sham
poo liquid is enough so 1t is easy to
apply it to all the hair instead OF just
the top of the head. After its use, the
hair dries rapidly with uniform color
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis.
