Forms Simplified.
Mai. Parker explained that eff
forts had been made to avoid one
of the principal causes of discomfort
in the World War draft, which had
been the difficulty of getting Federal

effort" he declared, in order TO
simplify Government forms. to make
it easier for officials to fill out the
necessary forms, to facilitate pay
ments."
Transportation will be provided
by the Government in transporting
selected registrants from local
boards to induction stations. and
registrants from the offices of local
boards to the Office of medical ad-
visory board and return, and when
CONSUMPTION duties require officers
or employees to travel.
BY setting up the new induction
stations between the local board and
the receiving station. the new plan
hopes to cut down the heavy cost
of transporta ton, which resulted
during the World War, when regis
trants often had to travel long dis
tances from their local board to
camp only to be rejected and sent
back home. The induction stations
will be nearer homes than the
camps.
