ton made up their mind who is to be drafted and who isn't. One week you hear that everyone between 26 and S8 who can navigate through the door of the draft board under his own power is in, and the next week war workers are to be de- ferred and the day after that everybody over 28 Is on the shelf. If this keeps up nobody will be ; drafted because everybody will be nuts and consequently unfit for service.
 It is sort of tough on men with families, who don't know from one week to another whether they'll be here or there, and consequently are at loss as to how to plan for the care of their dependents. It is tough, too, on those who are mar ried and would like to have chil- dren, but hesitate because of un- certainty as to- when they may ex- pect to go. If a definite, clarified set of qualifications for eligibility were drawn up and adhered to, with the qualifications arrived at by a course of careful study of conditions rather than the present trial-and-error method, a great deal of the sense of insecurity which is causing so much unrest today would be eliminated.
