In a strip of woods on Oak Point
plantation, near Concession, Plaque
mines parish, Saturday afternoon, a
group of tired. roughly CARRIED men
looked down happily at a stream OF
muddy water flowing through a
trough. The surface of the water
constantly broke into bubble and
along its length stretched a wide
ribbon of what was declared to be
oil. The men were r. Hughes, vice.
president Of the Gulf Development
Company, and superintendent Geo
A. Hesse, of the company and his
crew of drillers and tool dressers
The trough led to the opening OF
well No. l, of the Gulf Development
Company and from it issued the
bubbly. oily water.

ent Hesse, "she is coming in. We

In the tiny office of the superin-

number of slender glass tubes filled
with rock and sand and water, etc.
These, he explained, constitute the
log of the we'll, showing every stra-
tum which the rotary drills have
penetrated. At a much higher level
oil was struck but there was salt
water present, so the drill went on
it way through this, seeking the
fluid at a deeper level. From all
appearances, according to the men
on the job, they have struck sand

New Orders Make 1t Harder
for Married Mans Escape.

Washington, Aug. II. - Renewed
emphasis was laid by Provost Marshal
General CrOwder today upon the fact
that congress framed the army draft
law in the interest Of the nation, not
the individual. For that reason the
lines are being drawn tight in the
matter of exemptions.
The government has acted slowly in
bringing home to the people the rigid
character of the draft act. There has
been much discussion of the exemp-
ton problem based upon the errone-
GUS view of the laws purpose which
assumed that married men, for in
stance, would be exempted without
question and that the burden of mill
tary duty was to be carried fully by
the single men.
General Crowder has taken the po-
sition in recent rulings that marie
men will be exempted only when 1t is
to the interest of the government. II
the removal of the drafted man from
his family circle probably would re-
suit In the family becoming a public
burden. 1t is to the interest of the
government to exempt him.
Same Applies industriaiIy.
A IiWilar Interpretation has been
placed on exemption for industrial
reasons. The government has taken
the lead in scrutiniZing closely indi-
vidual eases among its employees before
asking that they be exempted. When-
ever there is doubt as to the mans in
dispensability a call to military service
prevails and no exemption is asked.
District boards have been instructed
to make the governments action their
guide in dealing with claims for eX-
cmption Of men in private employment.
An employer seeking exemption for Il
man he considers Indispensable must
show that his industry is necessary to
the public interest or to the main-
tcnancc of the military establishment
and supplement this showing with
affidavits stating that the particula"
individual is Indispensable to the in
dustry. Circumstances OF employment
must be stated and reasons given as to
why it would be Impossible to replace
the registered man with another not Of
military age. or with a woman.
