TAKING OUT ADMISSIONS TO
UNITED STATES JAILS.

A lot OF young people who are
blithely and perspiringly taking out
marriage licenses to-day are also
taking out admissions to United
States Jails.
The announcement that tho quota
OF New York City has been Increased
TO $4,000 makes but small difference
in each local board district. II re-
quires the calling Of about two ad-
ditional men in each Of the districts.
From tho few cases which have al
ready come before tho local boards
1t Is impossible TO determine, even APP
proXimately, how many of the nearly
GOO,OOO registrants in this city must
be called and examined before tie
quota OF 80, 900 can be filled, but It Is
apparent that in some districts, cs-
peclally in Harlem, the Bronx, on the
east side and Brownsville, almost, IL
not quite all those who have regls-
tered Will be called for examination.
This is because OF the remarkably
large alien population.
In District No. 1856 in Harlem, the
quota OF which Is 222 men, l,45O will
be summoned for examination In the
first call. II Is estimated that co per
cent OF the population Is alien.
The percentage of exemptions for

physical defects In the few score reg
istrants examined here ana there who
W,ro willing To- waive their five days
~ delay h very high. This Is cN-
planned In large measure by tho
fact that most of the men who were
eager To he examined as soon as pos
sible knew that they were physically
dcbarrcd from military duty.
From the progress Of examinations
thus far Il will be six weeks before
the examinations by the local boards
can be completed In New York City.
The district boards, TO handle ap-
peals from the decisions OF local
boards and act as bodies Of original
jurisdiction In the case Of certain
claims for exemption, have not Or
ganiZed.
At the local exemption board Of
District No. 1868, Wadleigh High
School, No. 900 West ono Hundred
and Fifteenth Street, one registrant
was passed, but claimed exemption
to-day OH the ground that he had
dependents. He was Isaac s. Gold
Of No. West one Hundred and
Twelfth Street. who was O. on the
list.
Gerson Schechter OF No. 1850 Fifth
Avenue, who WAS 2s4 on the list, was
exempted on physical grounds. The
board VIII be In session all OF to-day
for the purpose of examining all regis
trants who waive the five day notice.
