District National Guard Having attained the distinction of be- ng present at 100 consecutive drills of his unit, Staff Sergt. Lewis G. Phillips of the Headquarters Detachment, 29th National Guard Division, has been €om- mended in a letter from Maj. Gen. An- ton Stephan, commanding the National Guard of the District of Columbia, Gen. Stephan said that the fact had been called to his attention “that you have finally achieved the century mark in the number of consecutive drills attended. I congratulate you on your ability to attend 100 formations of your unit without being absent, and I am sure that it has called for no little sac- rifice on your part to attain this end. ‘The fact that you are the first in the Headquarters Detachment to attain this figure sets an example which can be achieved by others and which I trust will serve to encourage those who are apparently following in your footsteps.” While a number of members of the local National Guard in going to their encampment in the past have used | their own automobiles, so that they | might have the vehicles at camp, thus | saving several hundred dollars to the Government, the War Department has just announced that it has authorized | the payment of 3 cents a mile to the | officers and men who go to camp this year in private conveyances. This pay- | ment may be.made, according to an interpretation put on the new regula- tion, whether the officer or man owns the vehicle or not, as long as he doesn’t | r!fi:i’edin the contract transportation pro- vided. It was said at the brigade headquar- | ters of the Guard here that those mem- bers of the local units who go to camn this year in private conveyances will be paid the 3 cents a mile’ The approx- imate distance to Camp Albert C. Ritchie, at Cascade, Md, is 70 miles, making 140 miles for the round trip. Men who take advantage of the new reg- ulations will then be entitled to $4.20. The bus rate for the transportation Jast year was $4.75 per man, and 100 men went in private conveyances, thus sav- ing to the Government $475. The local brigade headquarters had applied to the War Department for au- thority to seek contracts for the trans- portation by bus this year, as they be- lieve that this is the most satisfactory means of transportation to the Mary- land camp, because the men are em- barked right at the armory and are de- livered right in their company streets at _the camp. Prior to advertising for the transpor- tation this year, however, it was said, the Guard officials will seek ot ascer- tain the number of men who will take advantage of the new regulation so that the advertissments may give the ap- proximate number of men which are to be_transported in. the public vehicles. The War Department regulation, how- ever, limits the number of officers and men who can go by private conveyance. The District authorities are author- ized to authorize travel by private con- veyance to the following: Officers not belonging to companies, except that as a rule regimental and battalion commanders with such staff officers as may be necessary should travel with the troops, provided that the residences of the officers concerned and the home stations of the troops are such with the relation to each other as to make this course practicable; the band; the State staff and State detach- ment, the personnel of camp supply | they may collect, under the terms of the new regulations. The War Department has rescinded a previous regulation restricting the employment “of rifle range keepers to certain periods of the year, so that | now they may be employed at any time. A new scale of Federal pay, based on the number of targets or the number of units using the range, has been | ordered as follows: Ranges used by at i]past one and not more than two com- ‘panics. $20 a month; ranges used by three companies, $30 a month; four companies, $40; five companies, $50; ranges having less than 30 targets in- stalled, which are used by six com- panies or more, $60; ranges having 30 or more targets installed, which are used by at least six companies and not more than 12 companies, $75, and tar- | get ranges having 30 or more targets in- | stalled, which are used by more than 12 companies, $160 a month. The Sidearms Club, the social and recreational background of the 20th Military Police Company, has been organized with the following officers and committees, it was announced Julius Morris, president; Willlam Nicholson, vice president; Harry R. Hawley, secretary; R. O. Ridgeway, treasurer; George T. Finnin, sergeant- at-arms; Willlam T. Roy, counselor. Publicity committee: M. C. Roemer, George L. Garland and R. O. Ridge- way. Entertainment committee, Julius Morris, A. J. Goodson and R. O. Ridge- way. Two units of the National Guard reached 100 per cent in their attendance at drill last week, and with one other completed the group classed as superior in attendance. Two 100 per cents were the Headquarters Detachment, 29th Di- vision Special Troops, and the Medical Department Detachment, 260th Coast Artillery. The other one in the group was the 29th Division Military Police Company, with a score of 95.55. On the other hand, it appears from the official compilation that there is an increase in the group class as unsatis- factory, although none of the organiza- tions had such a poor attendance as to put them in the class of very unsatisfac- tory. The percentages probably will take a jump during the next two weeks, as the guard units will pass through their annual inspections before a Regular Army inspector. The other organizations, in their re- fpectlve groups, with percentages, fol- low: Excellent: Band, 121st Engineers, 88.57; Headquarters Detachment, 260th Coast Artillery, 88.00; Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers, 85.11. Very satisfactory: Headquarters De- tachment, 29th Division, 79.31; Com- pany C, 121st Engineers, 76. Quar- termaster Corps Detachment, 75.00; Company A, 372d Infantry, 70.42. Satisfactory: Company D, 121st En- gineers, 66 15. Company A, 121st ®ngi- neers, 64.61; Battery A, 260th Coast Ar- tillery, 64.00; Company F, 121st Engi- P atistacto nsatisfactory: Battery B, 260th Coast Artillery, 58.49; Company B, 121st En- gineers, 56.06; Battery C, 260th Coast ?;t:l;er%n 53.84; Ng;dai;:al clgeuchmenh ers, 52.39; Com X 121st Entfixm, 50.79. o The following have been ordered transferred from the active to the re- serve list of Company F, 121st Engi- neers: Privates Fred T. Donohue, Ar- thur D. Mulley, jr., Andrew C. Murphy and advance and rear detachments; officers belonging to companies, except that at least two officers must travel with the organization; 10 per cent of the enlisted personnel of companies or detachments, cne man being authorized in any case if the strength of a unit is less than 10; to all personnel engaged in supplemental training, including small arms competitions and to enlist- ling service schools. -8ays, o ever, that the United mt{y and disbursing officer traveling on of- ficial business will not be entitled to the 3 cents a mile, if he does $0 in a private conveyance, but he will be al- Jowed, if he iravels by automobile, re- imbursement for gas, oil and storage. But when he is traveling as a National Guard officer, he may collect the 3 cents a mile.

PR NEW ZEALAND YIELDS AMBERGRIS FORTUNES “Gray Amber” Is Worth More Than Its Weight in Gold. SYDNEY, Australia (#).—Two lucky finds of ambergris, worth more than its weight in gold, were made by different parties the same day near Kaipara Heads, in the North isiand of New a- land. One unusually large lump was declared to be worth approximately Ambergris, or “grey amber” is a solid, fatty inflammable substance of & dull, grey or blackish color, that is really the bile from a sperm whale. Usually it is found floating on the sea, or in the sand near the sea coast in tropical Iati- tudes. Not often is it found so far South as New Zealand waters. Ambergris is now used oniy mn per- fumery, though it formerly was freely used in medicine. In minute quantities its alcoholic solution is much used for giving a “floral” fragrance to bouquets, washes and other preparations of the perfumer. STUDEBAKER R.
