Wives Who Can Work
No Excuse, Say
New Orders to Lo-
cal Boards

The chances of exemption
from select service on flinsy
grounds melted under the sun
Of new orders received by Sc
attic boards from the provost
marshal general Thursday
morning.
The new orders provide:
That wives who worked in
offices or factories before their
marriage and are now able to
work are not valid excuses
for exemption.
That men who are from 5
to IL pounds lighter in Weight,
or in chest measurement one
half inch less than, formerly
provided in the regulations,
will be accepted now.
That men whose teeth have
been repaired so that proper
mastication is possible or
whose teeth can be SO treated
are eligible.
In addition 70 these rules. in an
effort to supply their quotas OF men
without calling more than those al
ready summoned. Seattle division
boards Thursday planned stringent
examinations for those whose
claims look "fishy."

The route of the conscientious
objector" will be a hard one IL he
comes before Board 4. according TO
Executive Officer ID. b. Trefethen.
I'VE have three men who want
discharge because they are opPssed
TO war" said Trefethen. Thursday.
Everyone of them will be required
to furnish this board with "A copy
of the creed to which he processes.
will be asked for affidavits showing
that he really does profess il, and
we shall require him TO show the
time he affiliated with the church
or organization and the consistency
with which he has attended its
meetings.
1--WE are going TO use every pos
sible precaution TO prevent slack,
ers slipping thru our fingers on
this ground"
The "Wivesr Order
The order concerning dependent
wives came in the form of an or
ficial suggestion. from Gen. Grow
der and boards were empowered
TO use their own judgment In ap-
plying II to individual cases. The
order suggests that the men shall
not be exempted when the wife il
assured of reasonably adequate
support"
Officials would not define "rca-
sonably adequate They said It
varied with conditions, and that
each board would have TO decide
individual cases on their merits
A wife with young children. un-
able TO support herself or without
adequate support from relatives,

ton, IL was stated.

open appeal to relatives to support

This will strike the rich particu-
