nounces that local boards will be in.
structed to call 200 percent Of their
quota at the first call to provide for
probable exemptions That means that
l,374,OO0 men will be notified to appee-
for examination within the next few
days. If more are necessary they viii
be called for as needed by the local
boards in the order provided for in the
drawing.
In some districts, the 100 percent al.
lowance for exemption may be too large
ana in others too small, but the local
boards will be instructed in every case
to continue calling for men until the
district quota is filled. Each state gov.
ernor is now alloting to his districts
their respective portions of the states $
quota
In each Of the 4,557 exemption dis.
tricts among which the ten million reg.
istration cards have been divided. the
cards have been given serial numbers.
The number Of registrants in each dis.
trict varies from about 1856 in the small.
est and more than 10000 in the largest
so that the serial numbers TO be dealt
within the drawing range from one 10
between nine and ten thousand.
Master Key Is Devised.
In order to reduce the mechanical
process and make it possible for the
1000 members drawn TO reach every
man in every district. a so-called master
key has been devised. This will be OBJ
tained by drawing slips numbered from
naught TO ten, which will be listed in
the order they are drawn to form the
key.
Then will begin the drawing Of the
numbers one to one thousand. For
district with not more than one thous-
and registrants there will be no prob
lem TO determine the order Of appear.
ance before the exemption board. The
number drawn first wnl fix the man
whose card bears that serial number
as the first TO appear before his board
In the district with only 1876 regis
trants, the lS5 will be liable for ap.
pearance IN the order in which their
numbers are drawn. and when a mum
ber higher than that appears the dis
trict Of course will not be affected
Application of the master key makes
il possible TO apply fairly each Of the
one thousand numbers drawn to dis.
tricts with more than one thousand reg.
AS a number is drawn. II
will be added 10 each OF the thousands
in excess Of one thousand in each dis.
trict For instance. il % is the first
number drawn, II will represent %;
1925. 2O25, 3,O25. 4.O25, 5,O25. 6.O25.
7,O25, S,925 and 9,O25.
BY applying the master key the OF
der in which the numbers will be list.
ed in each district will be determined
II the drawing Of ten numerals for the
key should result this way: 9. Z. 1. ..
2. 3, 0. s. (. 6-then the drawing OF
% as the first number OF the thous.
and would fix the first men to appear
before the exemption board in this or.

3,O25, S,O25. 4O25 and 6025.
Through TO Ten Million.
The district with more than nine
thousand registrants thus will have
ten Of It's men assigned 10 their places
NJ the head OF its list, with 9025 on
top. The district with less than one
thousand men viii have one, number
25. at the head Of its list. This process
viii be continued until every man Of
the ten million has been assigned his
