An important ruling on the point OF
dependency on the ground Of marriage
has been received by Governor Milf
ken and Provost General Presson from
Provost Marshal General Enoch H.
Crowder, as follow:
Please call attention Of local boards
to the fact that a soldiers pay IS not
less than $50 a month and that all
clothing, subsistence. medical treat
ment and housing are furnished him.
Under the law he may allot any portion
oe his pay to a dependent. Many soldiers
receiving $50 month are easily able
to allot s25 monthly to the support OF
dependents. In case of death in line OF
duty the government will pay to the
beneficiary designated by the soldier
six months pay Section Of the Selec-
tive Service act provides that those IN a
status with respect to persons depend
ent upon them for support which rem
ders their exclusion or discharge ad-
visable may be discharged. but it does
not require that they shall be dis
charged in all such case. The discre-
ton Of local boards is invoked by this
provision and such boards may we'll
take the facts recited above into con-
sideration in deciding claims for dis
charge due to dependency with view
to determining whether, as a matter
Of fact, the person claiming such dis
charge will not be in as good or bet
ter position to support his depend
ents after selection for military SER
vice than he was before. If such is
the case of course discharge should
not be granted.

Another ruling from the provost
marshal general is as follows, regard

As a result Of this intense personal in

devoting four days week to work IN

will give three OF these to the surgical
dressings department, And each spare
moment at home in the evening her
knitting goes on. Mrs, Valentine says
she considers it privilege, to do this,
which seems to her small thing com
pared TO what her relatives in Eng

Several nieces have turned their inde-
pendent incomes over TO the war work
and are working---one in screw nail

With such examples Mrs. Valentin,
feels that every sacrifice she can max,
Is not enough. Aside from her daily
