FEDERAL AID IS
FOR GUARDS ONLY
Interesting Order Issued From
National Guard Headquarters
For Information
Formal notice
\\\ //J that federal aid or
JvvW puy bo exten(i
ed only to military
7 organizations that
are recognized as
*" part of the Natlon
/ a ' Guard and not
merely organized
"**% militia is given in
a circular issued by
the Adjutant Gen
eral's department as coming from the
bureau of militia affairs at Washing
ton.
Membership in the National Guard
is determined by taking of the federal
oath, which, was taken by Pennsyl
vanian's in the border service. The
circular states that when it became
apparent that the period allowed for
transition from organized militia to
National Guard-should be brought to ,
a close for a particular organization,
not in federal service, which fails to
comply with the new law, recognition
as organized militia will be formally
withdrawn by specific notification in
each case. Appropriations made by
the government extend to the National
Guard only. It is also stated. "Organ
izations that are now in federal ser
vice are on a different basis. Recog
nition will not be withdrawn from them
until they have been mustered out of
federal service and have had an reas
onable time to comply with the new
law after being so released."
State Experience Counts—Accord
ing to a rule just announced by the
.State Board of Examiners of Public
Accountants experience gained on an
investigating staff of a department of
the State government is to recognized
as qualifying candidates for certifi
cates as public accountants. Hereto
fore such experience could not be con-
Mdered for a degree. It is stated at
tiie Capitol that the new rule will es
tablish a precedent in both federal and
State governments. The Bureau of
Accounts and Statistics of the Public
Service Commission began an agitation
a year ago to secure experience in
the government as a qualification and
the new board of examiners has
granted the rule.

additional forest reserves. The approp- |
rial ion for such purposes made two •
years ago has been used up and there j
are a number of otters of property I
pending.
Boimi to T>eciilc—As the result of an<
opinion given recently -to the State I
Pharmaceutical Examining Hoard the
members of the board will adopt regu- \
lations prescribing and defining what j
experience shall be counted when an
application if made for a State from
that branch of the government. The

the board must satisfy themselves and
that they have authority to make regu
lations. The decision was asked be
cause of a number of objections raised
by candidates.
