asking that the Chamber of Commerce

CLAIM FOR OTHERS
Employers Should Ask Exemp.
ton for Employees.
QuestiOnnaires Are Arranged
for That Purpose.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Because many
men of the new draft ages are expect
ed to refuse to claim exemption from
military service, regardless of the need
for them at home, the provost mar
shall generals office today suggested
that employers of interested depen-
dents should not fail to file formal
claims in such cases. 1t is pointed out
that the form of the QUESTIONABLE
purposely leaves the exemption claim
open to be filed by others than the
registrant himself. General Crowder's
staff feels that failure to present
legitimate exemption claims for senti-
mental reasons will almost certainly
work hardship and injustice.

one to a geose-egg for the home

at Huachuca, and Nogales put it
over by a score Of A to 3. And
it took IA innings to decide the
issue. The third game was at

Can the Kids.

= Complaint has been made at
this office of the riotous and
noisy behavior of a lot of kids
at the band concert yesterday
evening, that was very annoy
ing to all the older people who
had gone to enjoy the music.
Several times the director felt
constrained to ask for quiet.
When the singer was on the
stand his voice was nearly
drowned by the shouts and cries
of the irrepressible kids playing
about the park. People who
have children so rude and noisy
should leave them at home, and
not take them out to annoy
others, who find their enjoy
ment circumscribed by noise
and rudeness.
