Dinny's Job
John O'keefe. n New York Woriu
When my boy Dinny reached the year
When workin' he should be.
Hs only Mar. rave so sns k sssfs@sf r sse me-
when talkin' didn't melt him,
sure. manY's the time I'd belt him.
But, still lhe day
He'd loaf away
And get his victuals free.
But now he's left the corner mob;
That divil Dinny's .ot JOB:
He used to keep a cigaroct
Stuck in the Jaws Of him
And wirra! how he'd hold his sno~t
Down at the .'rowler's rim!
He'd have his poker parties
With them two black McCarthXs.
And. watching late,
with rs he straight?"
His mothers eyes were dim' ,,o.
But now he haunts no par OF Nike -
For Dinny's got a JOB he likes;
Sure. he comes in and says one day.
I've got a place! No stan.
1t isn't much in monthly pay
For thirty bucks Is small.
But when she heara its nature.
His mother there's the craturet)
Says, "Dinny boy.
That jobs a Joy
For not one cent at ALL.
Twas Uncle Sam. who hates a shirk,
Who put my Dinny boy to work.
yoreninst me L, letter writ
From "A. E. F." somewhere.
1t says, Dear Pop. I've made hit;
Six Bot,he is my share.

NEW DRAFT RULES
REGULATIONS TO GOVERN cLAs-
sIFIcATfoN OF MEN 1s TO as.
Employees Engaged in Necessary Ems
terprise Also Affected-Boaris
to Have Advisors.

Washington, Sept. Sin the new
regulation now being worked out by
Provost Marshal General Crowder 10
govern the classification of men be-
tween eighteen and forty-five who will
register September u, important
notifications are based upon the
change of few words in the original
draft law made in passing the new
man-power act.
The term industrial occupation" Is
eliminated, and the Jaw now provides
persons may be given deferred classi-
ficatiou when engaged lin occupation
or employment, including agriculture,
which can be established as necessary
to the military establishment or the
maintenance of the national interest"
This section. officials pointed out,
with the regulations constituting it. viii
definitely allow district exemption
boards TO exempt bankers and essen
tial bank employees, men engaged in
necessary commercial enterprise and
necessary workers for the Red Cross
and kindred organizations.
1t was said the regulations would
straighten out completely a situation
arising since district boards in vari-
GUS localities have ruled, under the old
law. that railroads and banks are not
industries, and that an importer Of
necessary war materials and his staff
are not engaged in industry.
District boards in applying occu-
pational exemption regulations will
have the assistance of three advisers.
Industrial. commercial and agricultur-
al, who are now being nominated in
every district.
Only minor changes are Incorporated
in the revised QUESTIONABLE. City
police and firemen must be in service
three years before being entitled TO
deferred classification. and allows
them to be placed in class without
regard to their length of service.
Three new divisions in class 5 are
established.
The questionable still requires that
each registrant who desires exemp-
ton to make forma! claim and pres
ent detailed facts substantiating it.
