From. The Adjutant General of AIR bama. A
 To: Every Citizen, Everywhere in Ala bama- r,.as
 Subject: Military Policy of the United States. .
 .In +hese days of wars, and rumors or wars commercial, industrial and sociai unrest. the above subject is one which is. or should be, of vital interest to every citizen. ,.,,
 During the past few days much discus sion has been provoked by the anhouhGe ment of the military policy proposed oy the general staff of the regular army oA the United States. This scnehe iS
 garded by most citizen soldiers as one
 canable of possibilities which are as entirely foreign to the spirit of our Amer
 iran institutions as some Of the luesiis' of the imperial government Of GerinailS.
 The volunteer principle, placing as II does upon the shoulders of the "hiihS men the burden which should be assoileo @ by all, is unquestionably fundamentaily wrong; and it 1s believed that ,'. youth should be trained to serve .' country should the need for his services arise. s.,,o Tn view of the above facts, the follow inc outline of a national military poiics l (which Is believed to represent the luea' of most citizen soldiers, whether oI iia tional guard or national army orlgln) as
 submitted for the consideration or the
 citizens of Alabama:
 | The first element in the scheme of ha t,onal defense should be the regular army of the United States, which should not eA, ceed in strength the number authorizeo s hv the national defense act plus lis

It is quite possible and very probable that some '-doughboy" of the 1s7th regi- ment, the famous Fourth Alabama, will some day immortalize his comrades in a transcript of the point of view held by the fellows in the ranks during the hectic campaigns of the summer and fall of 1918. However until that epochal volume comes forth, "Alabamas Own In France" by Capt. William H. Amerine a well-known newspaperman of Mont gonery, is a book of the part played by the 167th regiment that is worth more than passing comment. (Eaton and Get tingef, publishers, New YorS)
 Captain Amerine has not essayed the role of a stylist in his historical recon struction of the facts concerning the fed eralizing of the Fourth Alabama regiment into the 167th infantry of the 42d di- vision, the illustrious Rainbow. From leaving Nogales to Ahrweiler. in Ger many, he remained true to his earlier training, that of a reporter. His book might have been titled, Facts from Re- porter's Note Book" for that is exactly what 1t is. Billy Amerine simply went Dout and got all the facts it was possible to get regarding the activities of the l61th regiment and incidentally picked up bunch of photographs and maps. Then without much ado he proceeded to pound the trusty typewriter as was his wont IT the old days on the Montgomery Adver' tiser, and out of the prosaicness of trans cribing the truth of the greatest ad ventures he weaved about 1t the halo O. the worlds greatest romance.
 From Nogales to Ahrweiler this worth! scrivener of the archives of the 1S7u regiment takes his readers It is spor adic joy ride of thrills and gioons Thrill at the hardness of the Alabamians il the first days of battle, and gloom at tn
 indignant sacrifices. He faithfully DOT

 trays the calm heroism of the junior or ficers and the "doughboys." especially at CIoix-Rouge farm.
 From excerpts of the writings of noted war correspondents, Captain Amerlne ouotes with some degree of impatience at the manner in which only the second ul- vision and other regular outfits attained praise. It is possible that those who were so unfortunate as not to have overseas service may have been impressed by the nublicity given to the regulars but Tn France. the Rainbow carries conviction as to valor and deeds well done. And It was in France where reputatbons counted.
 So for the civilian-the Liberty Bona buver-who wants to dwell in Martan realms. "Alabama's Own In France IS commended It is a faithful report or what his money, as expended by Alabam- ians. did towards making the world un- safe for the Boche. After reading Cap | tain Amerine's book one can recapitulate' and if one unconsciously visualizes the | days of the crusaders the dreams or the | mast cannot detract one iota from the gallantrv of the bold and debonair | Knights of the Fourth Alabama. They l lived up to their traditions, and Billy | Amerine's book carries the message to the l forthcoming generation of sacred trust

Hair Stop. Falling Out and Gets
Thick, Wavy, Strong and
Beautiful.

Your hair becomes light, wavy,
fluffy, abundant and appears as soft,
l,strous and beautiful as young
girls after a "Danderine hair
cleanse" Just try this-moisten a
cloth with little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at time.
This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt and excessive oil and in just a
few moments you have doubled the
beauty of your hair.
Besides identifying the hair at
once, Danderine dissolve every par
ticle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies
and invigorates the scalp, forever
stopping itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair and
lots Of it, surely get small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
