Herbert G. Ridgeway of Auxvasse,
who served with the hospital corps
in France since June II, 1913, arrived
at his home Thursday, bringing with
him a bride whom he met in France
and to whom he was married in Lon

other nationalities to know them in,

AuDRAIN MAY NOT GET TRUCKS

Of the additional three hundred
army trucks which have been allotted
to the state by the government, it
seems that Audrain is to be left out
entirely. The lack of work on the
south state highway is probably the
cause.
Because Audrain county has not
completed the work and indications arc
that she will not complete the work
on the highway running from this city
to Fulton, it is probable that the coun'
ty will not be given any trucks to aic

MEXICO FORMER FLYERS
MAY GET A|RPLANE

Mexico has more a~viators than any
city its size in this country and &C.
cording to a dispatch from Washing
ton they will be likely offered an air.
plane at a reduced rate in order that
they may keep in flying condition.
The dispatch follows:
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Flying
officers, holding reserve commissions
in-the Aviation Corps, shortly will be
given the opportunity to purchase air
planes from the government at greatly
reduced costs in order that they may
have opportunity to fly around home
and keep in training, should the gov
eminent need their services again as
aviators. This developed out of the
House military affairs hearing when
Secretary Baker was before the COM
mission on a number of minor bills.
Representative Anthony read to
Secretary Baker q telegram he had re-
ceived from an aviator just discharged
from the army. This officer had at
tempted to purchase his W machine
so that he could keep in training. He
was told he would have to buy an air
plane from the Curtis Company. They
asked $500 for a machine they had
got from the government for $3.50,
The Kansas congressman said dischar-
ged a~viators couldn't afford to pay
such enormous prices for machines
and it was to the governments inter
: ests for them to get the machines
cheap so they could keep in training
and fy at least once a week. Secre'
tary Baker agreed with him and sait
he would order that machines be solt
v to "licensed pilots" at about the prie'
S paid by Curtis Co, to the government
h Anthony then asked the secretary
he regarded officers holding resery
: commissions as licensed pilots, an
I the secretary said he would so regar
them.
Secretary Baker expressed the fea
that already so many machines ha
been sold to the Curtis Company, ther
might not be enough to supply all tn
orders that would be given by reserI
aviators but said he would have II
matter investigated at once. Also II
secretary said he would order that r
serve officers be given full use of Il
government flying fields any time the
desired in order to encourage them
fly as often as possible and thus ke'
in training.

Eclipse of the Sun
Tomorrow Morning

Tomorrow morning there will oc-
cur a partial eclipse of the sun. 1t
will be visible a few minutes after
sunrise.
At S:30yabout half of the diameter
of the sun will be covered, and the
eclipse will be over at 1916. This
eclipse is called an annular eclipse
in which the moon is too far away
to cover the whole sun.
In portions of Texas, in the north
ern part of South America, there
will be n bright ring or 'anulus' left
of the sun, which is not covered.
But here this will appear only as a
partial eclipse, and the ring will not
be visible.
Thanksgiving night there will be
another astronomical spectacle. The
star Beta Capricorni, a star of the
third magnitude, will pass behind
the moon. In other words, the
moon will come between the earth
and this star. This frequently hap
pens, but not often are the stars
bright enough to see. The moon on
that night will be four days old.
The star may be located on the dark
side of the moon shortly after sun
set. Shortly after o'clock the star
will disappear and few minutes
later will reappear on the other side
of the moon. The star will be about
one-fourth of the way from the
horizon to the zenith.

in his own department but for other
city officials as well.
One of the systems originated by
Secretary Backenstoss, which has
lessened the work of at least four
other CITY officials, is the method OF
handling the semimonthly payroll.
Prior to the Inauguration of this
system vouchers were made for
each employe about the station
house and before these vouchers
could be cashed they had to first be
countersigned by the Mayor, Com
missioner, of Finance and the City
Controller. Under the new sys-
tenn much of this work has been
eliminated. At the present time but
one voucher, calling for the entire
amount of the payroll, is made out.
1t is then handed to the City Treas
urer who hands over the ready cash
Immediately. The money is then
placed into separate envelopes and
distributed among the policemen,
thus doing away with the old vouch-
er system and compelling the men to
remain on their districts. A regular
time has now been set for paying
the policemen, and the policemen
are not permitted to leave their dis
tricts as was necessary under the
old system.
Secretary Backenstoss first enter
ed the police force in 1902 when
he was appointed patrolman un-
der Mayor Mccormick. lie was but
81 years of age at the time and he
still holds the record of being the
youngest manwho has ever donned a
police uniform in Harrisburg. He
was reappointed four years later

It's really a simple matter for any

When your hair becomes faded

and properly nourished. To do this

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is
well kept to judge of woman's
neatness or good taste. OF you are
one of the few who try to make the
most Of your hair, remember that it
is not advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all pur-
poses, but always use some good
shampoo. You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve teaspoorfuI
in cup of hot water. This makes
a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough
so it is easy to apply it to all the
hair instead of just the top. of the
head. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it
will look much heavier than it is.
Its luster and softness will also de-
light you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth.
