 SHOULDER GUNS Decisions of District Board
 Contain Reversals of
 Judgment.
 SCHOOL TEACHERS ] HUSBAND CERTIFIED Had Procured Exemption From Stamford Board But E, Investigator Appealed.

Several draft eligibles who have taken unto. themselves wives since June 5 are to see service in the Ma tiona1 Army, the decisions of the dis trict board on appeal cases from local boards show. Four denials of depend- ency claims were made in the cases of men married after the selectiye ser- vice act was passed. The local boards had refused exemption to the men and the original decisions were sustained by the appellate board.
 Today's decisions of the district board included three reversals Of former decisions. Two of these con-s cern Bridgeporters and the third was made. in the case of a Stamford man.
 Isadore Heller, 1541 Stratford ave- nue, claimed exemption on the ground that he was married and because of his wife's condition. She will shortly become a mother, Heller was married gAug. 1. 1917, and the third division beard stated that it appeared tos he an attempt to escape service. That board denied the claim and on Sept. A the district board affirmed the lower boards action. New -affldavits setting forth the condition of Mrs. Heller and one from her father declaring that he would not support his daughter, pro- cured a reversal of the previous de- cisions and he is now discharged.
 Patrick F. Donalhue, of -86 Oak street, has been married since Jam II, 1917. Evidence showed that his wife was entirely dependent upon his labora for support and that family circurn- stances due to recent illness and a death would work a hardship if he was selected for service. The former denial of the, claim was reversed and EDonahue was discharged.
 Homer A. Woodhead. .sof Stamford, is the first man known to lose his exen1pr stion through a federal investigators appeal. After being discharged upon the ground of having a dependent wife. alleged in his affidavit to be relying for support solely upon the fruits of his labors, Matthew Kenea1ly. Of Stan- ford, advised the district board that Woodhead's s wife was a school teacher. engaged in the winter time and ern- ployed as playground Instructor in the summer months. This. evidence shows conclusively that Mrs. Woodhead is not only able to support herself, but is now actually engaged in doing so. The previously granted discharge was revoked and Woodhead was certified for seryice. s:5 ssss..t.N IN 5 : < g, Z
