METHOD Of CHOOSING
DRAFT MEN CHANGED
Legislation May Base Quota On
Glass / Instead OF On the
Population AS Here
tofore

Washington, Feb 9--The method OF
apportioning the quotas to be raised
urder the draft law Is to undergo
drastic changes before the second
draft call is issued.
The provost marshal generals staff
II is learned today, is working out a
plan embodying the desired a1tera :
tions. Congress will be asked to en-
act legislation putting these improve
ments into effect.
The second call will not be issued
pending action of this proposed legis =
lation, it is understood.
Changes in the law are made neces =
sary because of the fact that under
the QUESTIONABLE system, some local
bcdys may not have q sufficient num-
ber of men in the first class to sup
ply their quotas If the same oppor
tionment which applied to the first
call obtains
The contemplated legislation prob
ably will provide for apportionment
of quotas according to the number of
men placed in the first gass instead
Of being based on population.

demonstration agent, Mrs Emmons
with her helpers is taking the sur
vey among the women Of the county
outside the towns. The bad weather
has seriously delayed the work, but
the country women have been par
ticularly loyal in aiding the govern
ment in getting the information nee
es }ary to the mastery of the food sit
u2tion
Mrs Thompson reports much mis-
understanding of the purpose Of the
survey which viii not be used to de-
prive anyone Of the food accumulated
but will aid the government in help
ing all sections of the country to get
the food they need
Considerable complaint has been
made because food which is plentiful
| none part of the country cannot
be obtained in another. This can only
be prevented by informing the au-
thor.ties as to what one could sell,
what he will need, aud Of what he
has sufficient for merely his own
needs. In a food survey this jnforma
ton can be given, and each blank
bears the statement that no food will
be seized
Mrs EmmonS reports that not ono
woman on a farm refused the infor-
nation when. called upon and all
seemed glad to show their loyal CO.
operation with the government in ey-
cry way possible All are using more
substitutes than ever before and say
that they are glad to give their aid
