Druft Unit to Act
On Decisions Made

The merit of granting ocupatlonal
de1erment to an estimated $4,000
men who work in Washington but
were deferred by draft boards In
other States will be reviewed by the
Districts appeal board under orders
sent out by National Selective Serv-
ice headquarters today.
The order, which implements part
of the new draft legislation, mean
that every man now classed in 2-f
or 2-B who works here but wa
granted his deferment by boarci
outside Washington runs the ris'
OF having his deferment Cancelled
by the appeal board here.
District headquarters said 1t ex.
pected $4,000 men working herr
would be affected by the order
Even those registered with draf
boards in nearby Maryland ant
Virginia, but working in Washing
ton, will have their cases sent tc
the District appeal board.
Naval Workers Included.
Directly affected will be draft-age
men who left their home States to
work in the Navy Yard. Naval Re-
search Laboratory, Bureau o.
Standards, Weather Bureau. Nava
Observatory or in the department;
themselves.
| District headquarters, however
said that under it's Interpretation
OF the regulation, men whose de

agencies but who work in the fielt
will have their cases passed on b,
the appeal board in the area whert
they are actually working.
Also affected are the thousand

Cobber Mow
No. / Glamour
Boy of Nation
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY

NEW YORK, Feb. g Up
Shoe rationing catch you flat
footed?
II IL did-and your name Is
legion-that watchword is con-
servation. It's q long time be-
tween coupons. and sidewalks
are tough on bare feet.
Anyway. the cobbler is the
glamor boy of the moment, and
here are some of the things he's
been preaching for long time:
Buy shoes that fit you. When
they are too big they wrinkle
and crack. When they are too
small the leather stretches and
loses elasticity. If you wear a
size eight, lady, step right up
and say so. If you try to skimp
on size, your graceful walk will
be a hobble. And remember,
your feet are going to carry you
farther this year than gasoline
is.
Take good care of your shoes.
Shoe trees are absolute essen
tials for long wear. Two pairs
of shoes worn alternately will
last infinitely longer than one
pair worn constantly. The rest
gives the leather a chance to
dry out and return to its orig
inal shape.
Weather-proofing - "a st Or
and neatsfoot oil are good - of
shoes is good precaution. 1t
helps the leather resist damp
ness and makes it more flexi-
BILE.
Never try to cover up dirt
with polish. Treat good brown
feathers with a bath Of saddle
soap. The men in the shoe bus
mess seem to prefer sh , creams
to shoe pastes for shining pur-
poses. And take it easy on the
polishing; do it slowly and firm
ly. Fast polishing generates
heat and is not good for leather.
Always dry damp or wet
shoes in normal temperature.
Radiators and stoves dry out
feathers and make them crack.
Watch those heels and give
them new lifts before they get
too crooked. A crooked heel
throws the whole shoe out Of
line, and sometimes it never re-
turns to its original shape.
Galoshes and rubbers may
not be the prettiest items in your
wardrobe, but shoe is not hap
py in slush, rain or snow and
its life is shortened by exposure
to the elements.
