That draft registrants ; as well as soldiers themselves are paying out needless fees to attorneys ': and others when seeking advice as to the proper method of filling out ques tionnaires, farm furloughs, etc., wis the statement made today by the camp Judge advocates' office. A case In point was cited of a sol dier's father who " today appeared with the statement that his son had paid an attorney $20 for filling out a farm' furlough, th simplest of all the various forms. "The maximum charge." said the officer, "should have been $2.50. I have turned this case over to the lo cal members of the state council of defens and understand they will take action. "For the benefit of registrants on the Pacific coast It should be known that there Is an attorney In every district delegated by the draft board to settle legal questions, help on questionaires, etc, and his services are gratis. "To learn the name of this attor ney application should be made by the registrant to the chairman- of his local board. , In applying for farm , furloughs which must come through, the local board and not be made to ns here, no attorney should be needed. If the applicant for furlough is a sold ier, he should go to .his com pan commander and after securing the papers from him. send them home to b- presented through - the board there.

The pullet has a dark, wlllowcolored beak, some times streaked with black. It Is of finer bone than the cockerel and the legs are dark and smoky colored. The cockerel has bright yellow legs and beak and usually a coarse head and prominent eye. The cockerel Is a gray or slate color while the pullet Is darker. The white tip of the wings and spot on top of head are more noticeable on the pullet, contrasting with the deeper black. This means can only be used to denote the sex the first two days.. After this time they will take on the one character istic blue color, the beak and legs of the pullet fade our to yellow. Sim ilar methods can be employed with all parti-colored breeds. With solid colored birds the best means ot de termining sex Is the prominent cock erel. D. F.
