wreckage, and here she had lived
alone ever since, doing a little sewing
and raising vegetables for market. She
had held herself so aloof from her
neighbors during the frst twenty-eight
years of her life that she never had
felt like drawing near them in her
trouble, although with kindly hearts
they had tried to be friendly during all
the past years OF her poverty.

turned to bend over another bed. when
the garden gate suddenly clicked. AS

a girl standing by the fence.

quietly.
"Oh. Miss Lidy! The greatest news!"

Then for the first time in several

ing adequately to support the wife
and children, if any, during the alb
sence of the husband. This ruling
was responsive to a class of cases
that had been brought to the atten-
tIon of this office where claims of dis
charge had been made on the ground
of dependency on a husband, who, as
a matter of fact. was not dependent
upon himself. The ruling directed
the attention of the local boards to
the fact that scrutiny of cases of this
kind might disclose that no discharge
was available.
1t was not intended that paragraph
so" of the compiled Rulings" should
apply to the case of the head of
family whose family, at the time of
his summons and prior thereto, were
and had been mainly dependent upon
his labor for support.
Instances in which local boards
have been in erIOr in respect of these
TWO classes of cases are rare. 1t
was to be expected that with some
fur thousand five hundred local
boards there would be some ununi-
forrlity of decision in this regard.
To provide against this ununiformity,
Section p of the regulations provides
for the automatic appeal of all de-
pendenty cases to the district boards.
District boards should scan the de
j cisions of local boards on questions
of dependency and wherever it ap-
pears that such decisions are illegal
! (as in the two cases just mentioned,
or otherwise), OF where these decis-
ions Seem to be so far ununiform as
to result IN an unusual operation of
the law, the district board should re-
verse or modify the decision of the
local board.

FREE DANCES FOR
ENLISTED MAN 1T
PALMETTO BEACH

For the pleasure and entertainment
OF the enlisted men at this point, an
other of a series of free dances will
be given tonight at Palmetto Beach,
and the general Pensacola public is
cordially urged to make trip to that
delightful resort and enjoy several
hours in dancing. The patronage
from the navy and army has been
gratifying, a large number from both
branches being on hand at the first
of the series, which was given last
week, and it is expected that tonight's
crowd will be even larger.
The electric company is putting on
accommodations in the transportation
line to handle hundreds, and cars will
be operated until midnight if the
patronage justifies. The music will
be furnished by Douglass orchestra.

REVERSE RUL|AGs
Of LOCAL BOARDS

Meeting at Chipley yesterday the
district exemption board heard indus
trial claim appeals from Washington
and Walton counties, but very few of
these were granted. The board, how
ever, was a little more free in the
cases of married men. In every case,
where evidence was adduced to show
that the wife was entirely dependent
on her husband, the action of the LOCAL
boards in refusing to grant exemp-
tion was reversed, the district board
acting in line with the ruling of Pro
vost Marshal Crowder recently on this
status of the draft question.
The board will hold another meet
ing next Monday at the same place.

Boat" will be equipped with two aux
iliary motors, of seventy-five horse
power each, these to be used when
there is no wind. Under motor power
the new vessel is designed to maxi
nine miles an hour. more than two
miles faster than the "Stjarnan," the
first of the Bingham feet.
For sailing, The Captain tells the
Iandsman with an astonishing num-
Der of nautical terms, dropping syl-
lables in the most approved manner,
that the ship will have four main anG
mizzen sails with four topmast stay
sails and jibs. To an experienced
mariner a forecastle is never a fore
castle, but a "fo'castle," and the
same way with forestaysail, only it
cannot be spelled as it is pronounced.
Of 140 feet in length, 80 feet

boat will have a capacity for 1855
tons burden. AS compared with the
"Stjarnan," Number 2 is fourteen
feet longer and five feet >--der beam
than the first vessel. While the
"Stjarnan" makes 7 ID miles under
