titled to district boards a. held for
military service, men whose families
are actually dependent upon them
for support on the theory that the
wife is able to work and should be
put to the necessity Of going to work
to support herself and children.
This situation is addressed in the
following opinion of the district
board of New York city, in which
opinion this Office concurs, with the
understanding that the phrase sup
port available from relative" is sup
port partial or total previously ex-
tended to the applicant himself.
1--WE do not concur in the view
suggested in some quarters that In
case of wife and children actually
dependent on applicants labor for
support, and where there are NO
other means OF support, the wife
should be put to the necessity of go
ing to work to support herself and
children. Bona fide dependency of
wife and children on labor of APP
prcant where in his absence they
will he left without reasonably ade-
quate support. after duly taking in
to consideration soldiers wage and
support available from relatives, as
stated in the rulings of the Provost
Marshal General, is ground of dis
charge"
This opinion clearly and adequate
" expresses the intent Of the law
in this regard.
Recent Rulings Explained.
3. Paragraph B., compiled rul-
ings of this office, No. s, addressed
a state of affairs where the parents
or other relatives OF the wife or
husband are able, ready and willing
to support the wife and children, il
any, during the absence Of the hus-
band. This ruling was responsive
to a class Of cases that had been
brought to the attention of this Of
fee where claims Of discharge had
been made on the ground Of depend
ency on a husband, who, as matter
of fact, was not dependent on him
self. The ruling directed the at
tention Of local boards to the fact
that scrutiny Of cases of this kind
might disclose that no Discharge was
advisable.
It was not intended that para
graph B of the compiled rulings
should apply to the case of the head
of a family whose family, at the
time of his summons and prior
thereto, were and had been mainly
dependent upon his labor fer sup
port.
Instances of Error Rare.
4. Instances in which local boards
have been In error in respect of these
two classes of cases are rare. 1t
was to be expected that with some
$500 local boards there would be
some ununiformity OF decision in
this regard. To provide against
this ununiformity, section q of the
regulations provides for the auto
matte appeal of all dependency cases
to the district boards. District
boards should scan the decisions of
local boards on questions of depend
ency and wherever it appears that
such decisions are illegal (as in the
two cases Just mentioned or other
wise) or where these decisions seem
to be so far ununiform as to result
in an unequal operation of the law.
the district board should reverse or
modify the decision of the local
board.

EXTENSION OF GOVERNMENTS
FOOD PRODUCTION WORK.
U. 8. Dept. Of Agriculture to Attack
ON Larger Scale the Problem Of
Maintaining Ample Food
Supply During War.

The food production act was sign
ed by the President and became a
law on August 10. This act, the
principal features of which are ex-
planned in this issue, should not be
confused with the food control act,
q separate measure, which became a
law on the same date.
The food production act provides
additional funds for the extension OF
the activities of the United States
Department of Agriculture in many
directions, as indicated below. 1t
will be administered through the
Department of Agriculture. The
food control act contains a number
Of powers affecting the control and
distribution of foods and also powers
affecting q number of other COM
modities. The powers affecting the
control and distribution of foods viii
be exercised through the Food Adj
ministrator. What agencies will
deal with the powers in the food
control act affecting other commodi-
ties than food has not yet been in
dicated.
The task of maintaining during
the war an ample supply of food will
be attacked on still larger scale
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture through score or more
of projects, under the provisions of
the food production bill just enact
ed by Congress.
While most of the projects will
be extensions of present activities,
some of them will represent new un-
dertakings. The task will be to find
just where the country stands in s.
far as the adequacy of the presen,
food supply is concerned. to speed
the production of food crops whe-
ever this can be done, and to ste
as many as possible of the aeak
through which hundreds of nj lions
of dollars worth of edible products
annually is wasted. Eleven million
three hundred and forty-six thous
and four hundred dollars are made
available for the work in the food
production act. This money Is for
emergency use lin addition to the
funds appropriated in the regular
agricultural appropriation act for
the usual activities OF the depart
ment. The act also is distinct from
the food control act, a measure hav-
ing to do chiefly with the regulation
OF the dtstributi0in Of food.
To Increase County Agent Force.
One of the most important steps to
be taken in the emergency agriculE
tural work will be the extension of

Why gamble with trouble?" asks
II. T. Roseland. branch manager. the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.

in the end in that kind of proposition.
I'm referring to tire trouble. of course.
Often motorist notices little

And he drives on and forgets it, The
cut becomes larger, deeper, reaches the

the blowout results The tire is
ruined Maybe Mr.. Motorist is fifty
miles from help when it pops
All of which is preliminary to an
introduction to the Goodyear service
stations in this city.
Note how conveniently they are
distributed as to location. Each Of
them is ready and fully equipped, not
only to sell tires, but to give real
service as well. Goodyear service con-
sists of prevention as well as of cure
The service station man gives you a
standing invitation TO drive in Have
your tires examined regularly Have

Keep your air pressures right. Get

We feel that our service station
system in Phoenix IS better for the car
owner this year than it has ever been
before. Every service station dealer
carries a real stock of tires. tubes and
accessories. He doesn't have to send
out to the branch while you waltz
when you want tire
Most important of all, our service
stations are equipped with the means
and the desire to help drivers get the

is required of the car owner is that he

Urge Congressional War
Board to be Check Upon
tho Admins
tration.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.-
The provisions of congressional war
board designed to be check on the
administration in the conduct OF the
war, which was inserted In the SEN
ate food control bill, is destined to
be the subject of acrimonious debate
when the measure is returned to the
house.
| The republicans, led by Represent
alive Madden, author OF the proposal
in the house, are citing many in
stances of alleged mfsmanagement of
war activities and OF the adoption of
arbitrary policies as warrant for
their contention that congress ought
to hold taut rein on the administra-
| ton.
Democratic leaders in the house,
however, intend to demand the elm
| nation of the war board amendment
as an expression of confidence in
! the administration.
There has been multitude of
charges of mismanagement of war
preparations. The latest one alleges
! that the war departments whole plan
! for providing quarters for the $780,
| 900 men about to be called to tho
I.colors is threatened with serious en-
barrassment and delay as the result

factor in getting the work started,
and Major r. E. Hamilton of the re.
serves.
The latter was purchasing agent for
Stone &. Webster of Boston before he
| took charge OF lumber contracts, etc,

department prior to taking command

transfer after recommending that

be taken from Major Hamilton and
given to. himself.
Thorough investigation. It is said,
shows that not more than two-thirds
of the cantonments will be ready for
troops by September. Obstacles arS
cropping UP now in the matter of
getting lumber shipped, and along
other lines which Major Curry s
friends allege will not be eliminated
by Major Hamilton's present plans
! for purchasing.
