This matter Of attendance at drills
Is causing some concern to the Guard
officials, and efforts are being made
to stimulate 1t by denying additional
pay to the men while in their next
annual encampnent in proportion to
the amount Of time they lose from
drills. The law allows to other than
Government employees $1.25 day for
the period of annual field encamp-
ments in addition to the pay of their
respective grades.
The attention Of all unit COM
manders has been called to this in a
service memorandum, which lays down
q schedule of what each man will re-
ceive above is"service pay, and 1t Is
pointed out that If this is forcefully
brought to the attention of the mem
bers Of the Guard they may attend
drills more regularly in order to get
the full amount of $1.25 a day. The
memorandum says that a man who
attends 80 per cent or over of the
total number of the drills during the
year will receive the full $1.25 a day;
those attending more than 60 per cent
and less than so per cent will receive
81 day; those attending 40 per cent
and less than GO per cent will receive
Is cents per day, while those attend
ing less than 40 per cent will receive
only so cents per day.
The percentage of attendance Of an
enlisted man who has enlisted after
the preceding annual encampment will
be computed from the date of his
enlistment.
Applications have been received
from four more enlisted mon, making
q total of five to date, for permission

For Darkening Hair.

The science Of treating hair so that
it does not turn white or gray has
made its debut under the name of
"Canitics" and a school for teaching
this science has been opened in New

It is named from the fact that the
medical profession has for several
hundred years referred to gray hair
as "canities." OF the 5000 900 women

Is attested by a group Of scientists
