from head of family residing in
the local area. When wife does not
support, but herself makes application
for a husbands discharge she must
cover the same ground and have two
supporting afIidavits from heads of
families residing I'm the local area, I'M

band makes the application it may be
made by some one personally well ac-
quainted with such husband and his
wife, child or children" who has per
sonally made an investigation of the
sources of income of the wife," The
person filing such an application must
present Herewith the marriage certifi-
cate or certified copy of 1t, or submit
the affidavits of two persons who were
present when the marriage took place
Similar procedure must be followed
In the case Of ANY son of widow de-
pendent upon his labor for support"

pendent upon his labor for support

What Labor Is.
Labor" Is defined I'm this way:
For the purpose Of these rules and
regulations labor shall be construed
to mean bodily or mental exertion. 1t
may be either physical or intellectual;
1t may be professional, mechanical.
commercial, clerical or agricultural,
and each Of these forms of labor may
exist under notifications or in COM
binatiOn with each other. The means
for the support Of the dependent or de-
pendents must be produced by this Ia
Dor. whatever It's character. 1t need
not be wholly produced from it, but 1t
must be mainly so. A dependent re-
ceiving support from person whose
income Is derived from dividends or
rents cannot be said to be dependent
upon his labor, but IL that income were
entirely the fruit Of professional or
physical toll then such person would
be dependent upon his labor.
For the purpose of these rules and
regulations" It is added, ''by the term
aged or infirm' parent or parents Is
meant those persons who from old age
and infirmity are disabled from earn
ing the means Of supporting them
selves and who by reason Of such age
or intirnity have become dependent for
the means of support upon the person
in respect of whom the claim Is made.
If any person claiming exemption or
discharge shall file af!ldavits in support
thereof, one such affidavit should con-
tain the statement that he binds him
self to report at once in person to the
local board by which he was called and
notify it whenever the conditions enti-
Ting him to exemption or discharge
cease to exist"
Conscientious DIRECTORS must, within
ten days after filing their claims, pre-
sent afiidavits setting forth:
That the applicant sis member in
good faith and in good standing of n
well recognized religious sect or organ

Must Support Contention.
This must be supported by an affida-
Wit from the clerk or minister of the
and Gin case any such
person substantiates In the opinion of
the local board his claim, such local
board shall issue a certificate stating
that such person shall not be required
Or compelled to serve in any capacity
