WIFE MAY FILE EXEMPTION CLAIM FOR DRAFTED MEN Official Lists to Be Sent to Local Boards From Washington Tonight.

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNIN6 WASHINGTON, July 23. Having designated by lot the order of liability to military service, the government enters today upon the process of determining on merit who shall be sent to the battle line and who shall remain at home to help feed and munition the nation's armies. The local exemption boards now come into action. , To them will be mailed tonight the official lists of the . numbers drawn in the draft lottery. Deginning at the top of the list the board in each exemption district will pummon twice as many registrants as the aggregate of the quota assigned to it by the state authorities. Examinations Open Soon In some districts, it Is expected, the boards will be examining registrants and determining exemption claims within the next fortnight. After being selected for the army the registrant will hate several weeks In which to settle his business affairs before going to the training camp. The man who stands near the head of the list, especially within the first call of the local board, should immediately find the office of his board and verify the order In which his number was drawn- Then, If he Intends to file a claim for exemption or discharge, he should carefully examine the regulations. Must File Claim Early If listed among those needed for the first contingent he will receive a notice of call. If be has moved from the address given on registration day, he should either notify the local board having Jurisdiction over him or arrange for Immediate forwarding of any mail sent to his former address. Within seven days after the date this notice Is sent, he may make a claim , for. exemption or discharge. He then has ten days more In which to file aff Ida vita proving his claim. The man called must appear for physical examination on the date specified in the call. Otherwise he violates the selective . service act and makes himself subject to the same penalty he would have Incurred had he failed to register on June 5. Wife May File Appeal The registrant who has only an Industrial or agricultural claim to make need not support his claim before the local board. He must wait until he receives notice that his claim has been certified to the district board. Within five days after this notice is mailed he must lie his industrial or , agricultural claim with the district board 4o which it has been certified. , He then has five additional days in . which to file affidavits supporting the ; cJ.ilm. . The law does not limit the filing of claims to the party called. A man's wife or his friend may file the claim ; for him. - ' It is expected that the greater percentage of discharge claims will come from married men. The census figures for registration estimated that 45 per cent, of the men between the ages of 21 and 31 were married. The law expects' all men who are morally bound to support a wife actually dependent on them to claim discharge, ' but it will let no man pass whose affidavits show he Is trying to hide behind petticoats. Married Men Trouble The question of discharging married men is giving officials consider- , able trouble. No official attempt beyond the draft regulations has been made to define the exact status married men will have to show to secure discharge. It is certain that men whose wives are not dependent on their labor for support will be accepted for service. It will be up to the local boards to determine to what extent a wife depends on her husband's labor, and they will judge this according to the nature of the affidavits filed. Eligibles are warned against falsifying these affidavits. The federal government will vigorously prosecute all cases where there is evidence of perjury. This policy, it is said, will also be applied to men In discharge of industries -who grossly exaggerate

seventh in your family, according to ligures collected by a Viennese doctor. To be born second, after the ninth, puts you in greater danger than any other position. Mortality for first, per thousand is 26.4, for second, 24.9, fifth to seventh 26.1, and after ninth, 34.4.
