CHECK EXCUSES
Registration Record on Qualifi-
cations Not To Be Final.
Claim for Exemption Will Be
Sifted by Govt.

Washington, May 3O.-Men who
claim exemption from army draft
when they register next Tuesday, will
be required later to explain fully
why they believe they should not be
called, Provost Marshal General
Crowder announced today. Public au-
thorities will determine the exemption
of each individual on the basis of the
second and more ample explanation,
not on the briefly stated reason given
the registrar Tuesday. All men who
are married or who belong to classes
which may be exempted will not nee
essari1y be subject to exemption. Fur
thermore, every man between the ages
of 81 and 80 inclusive, must register,
regardless of his claim of exemption.
unless he is n soldier. sailor or officer
actually in federal military or naval
service.
The problem of exemption of men
with dependents stands out as the
most perplexing question in the forma-
ton of exemption regulations. it was
stated.
Careful as to Citizenship.
Samuel L. Brown. mythical young
/ 80, must be very careful how he an
swers the inquiries put to him on reg
istration day. Uncle Sam will check
every question closely. Another war
department announcement today con-
tanned these registration hints:
Young Brown will first be asked to
give his first, middle and last name
and his age at his last birthday He
must then give the street number, CITY,
county and state in which he lives
He must also be very careful to in
form himself specifically as to his
citizenship, whether he is a native
born and if not where he or his
parents have been naturalized.
The trade or occupation of young
Brown is another important question,
for it is upon this inquiry that the
government may base its exemptions
from the draft.
Great care must be used in answer
ing the question as to dependents He
will be asked if he has a father,
mother, wife or child under IL years
solely dependent upon him for sup
port.
just State the Facts.
When Brown IS asked if he is mar
ried or single the answer must con-
Germ itself with his present condition.
The question means are you married
now?
If the young man claims exemption
from draft he must give his reason
| briefly and accurately. This is not
| his final claim for exemption. The
question is sim ply to give the govern
ment statistical information. Registra-
ton is one thing, exemption another
There is nothing formidable to con-
front Samuel L. Brown on registration
day. FranknesS and directness are all
that are required of him.

costing the Can Conservation Day" be

within a very few years at least 1000
cars per day will pass along the route.
With this heavy traffic it will require
a trick or concrete road. These will,
