    GUARDSMEN ARE
EAGER TO GO
Continued From First Pago
eral medical men will make the ex
aminations or may deputise local phy
sicians to assist them.
Those mmands having no armories
•will mobilize at Mt. Gretna, The Wat-
Department has already indicated that
these will Include some of the truck
companies, one cavalry command, and
some of the field hospital organiza
tions.
Fail Equipment
The State has obtained equipment
tor practically all the men, with the
exception of arms and ammunition
belts. These will be furnished by the
Government. Shoes, clothing, tenting
and blankets have already been pur
chased by the State, and the Federal
Government will reimburse the State
for these.
Only twenty-five officers in Penn
sylvania's guard are exempt from the
President s call, all of the remainder
being subject to service.
Few Are Exempt
The officers and enlisted men ex
empe from the President's call in the
Pennsylvania guard are limited in
number, there being but twenty-flvs
officers and men that will not be
eventually summoned to the colors.
The commands that will not be
called as required are the quarter
master's corps, the staff officers and
departments, medical officers, ord
nance, inspector general's, adjutant
general's and the judge advocate gen
eral's departments. In these com
mands there are 170 officers and 630
enlisted men. Those that will not be
called out are connected with the in
spector general's, adjutant general's
and Judge advocate general's depart
ments.
Eighth Is Ready
The Eighth Regiment, with head
quarters here, has been preparing for
weeks for the call to Federal service,
and after the men report on Sunday,
probably the biggest part of the pro
gram will be the physical examina
tions.
When the news reached here of the
call it spread rapidly and soon many
hundreds gathered at the Armory for
Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, make.'i
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
Is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.

TUESDAY EVENING
more Information. Active recruiting
will probably be pushed from now
to July 15 to bring the entire regi
ment up to standard. Of the present
3.058 In the regiment, about 1.300 are
new recruits. All of these, together
with those who were on the Mexican
border and have been retained, must
go through the mustering Into Fed
eral service. Practically every man
Is anxious to go to the front and Is
eagerly waiting for the preliminary
preparations to start.
Pennsylvania shares with New York
the distinction of having the only
National Ouard division In the United
States. When recruited to the
strength designated some time ago by
President Wilson, the Keystone sol
diery will number 30,800.
The organization of the Pennsyl
vania division comprehends three brl
j gades and one regiment of Infantry.
I one brigade of artillery, a regiment
I of cavalry, a regiment of engineers,
| two ambulance companies, two field
I hospitals, one radio and signal bat
talion, a field bakery company and a
; medical, veterinary and dental corps.
Major General Charles M. Clement,
|of Sunbury. is the division com
! minder. He held that rank when
! the Pennsylvania unit was in the Fed
-1 eral service during the Mexican tur
! moil.
Colonel Thomas Biddle Ellis is act- |
Ing brigadier general of the First in
fantry brigade; Brigadier General Al- i
bert J. Logan, of Pittsburgh, of the |
second. Brigadier General Christopher,
T. O'Neill, of Allentown, of the Third, |
and Brigadier General Frederick W. j
Stillwell, of Scranton. is on detached j
duty. Brigadier General William G. \
Price Jr., of Chester, commands the
artillery brigade.
Under the terms of the President's j
proclamation, however, none of these ;
general officers will be mustered into I
the service of the United States. This :
means that Major General Clement j
and the four brigadiers will be re
lieved of their commands in all prob
ability. and that the President will
commission the new brigade and divi
sion commanders when the division
reaches its southern concentration (
camp.
Artillery Unit Expanded l-ately
The artillery unit, equipped with |
light and heavy field pieces, was ex
panded during the tour of service j
along the Rio Grande by brigading j

the parent unit, the First field artil- ■
lery. Colonel William C. McKee, of j
Pittsburgh, commands the First, with |
headquarters at Pittsburgh; Colonel ;
Hamilton D. Turner, the Second, with |
headquarters at Philadelphia, and |
Colonel Asher Miner, the Third, with
headquarters at Wilkes-Barre.
The conversion of the Second Regi
ment into artillery left the First bri
gade of infantry one regiment short
of the required quota. The remaining
units are the First, commanded by
Colonel Millard D. Brown, and the
Third, commanded by Colonel George
E. Kemp. The First has been as
signed to police duty, with headquar- 1
ters at Philadelphia, while the Third j
has performed similar duties, with
headquarters at Altoona. Both are in |
the Federal service.
Each infantry regiment comprises
headquarters, supply and machine gun !
companies, together with twelve com- I
panies of foot soldiers. War strength ;
demands 1,800 men to a regiment. !

brigade are composed of Philadelphia j
companies.

Pennsylvanian Made
Guns For U. S. in 1837
Henry E. Leman, who had his
summer residence at Mount Joy on
the Leman farm, half a mile north
of town during the Civil War, gained
great popularity as a rifle manufac
turer. His works were located In
James street, Lancaster.
His first contracts for the United
States Government was for one
thousand rifles In 1837 during Van
Buren's administration, at the time
of a treaty with the Indians and
annually thereafter the government
made a contract with Mr. Leman
for his rifles until 1860.
As far back as 1840 he had a
contract to repair muskets for the |
State at Philadelphia, Harrisburg i
and Meadville Arsenals.
Mr. Leman was offered a contract]
5
at the outbreak of tha Civil War In
1861 by General Simon Cameron,
Secretary of War, for two hundred
and fifty thousand rifles, which he,
however, declined to take on account
of the uncertainty of the continuance
of the war and the extra necessary
machinery required to produce them
on short notice. He. however, re
paired a large number for the gov
