A large gathering assembled at

by the Women's (Council of Defense to
the Home fiuard H. Company Bueua

Mis. Rose, chairman of the local

SwoPe,Verd Hill, Dr.
and the
married registrants
largely face the fate of being listed
in Class 1 of the draft as results of
amendments to the original selective
Kcrvire law, sent from Washington
yesterday by telegraph.
The new regulations cut away most
of the ground on which deferred clas
sifications were granted o men who
registered last year and then mar
lied before being classified. They
also make it all but impossible for
the young married man who register
ed on June flth of this year to claim
exemption. A child in the home,
born or unborn June 9, 11)18, serves
as the only dependency claim that
will be recognized on the part of such
mien.
The new rules received are these:
The fact of dependency resulting
from the marriage of a registrant.
v!v had become 21 years of age since
June 1 1!H7, and who has married
since, the date of the introduction of
the joint resolution in Conrgses re
quiring h.'s registration, to-wit, Jan
uary 1.1, r.MX, will be disregarded as
a ground fo;1 deferred classification
If a registrant who has attained
the a ge of 21 since June f, l!tl7,and
who has contracted marriage subse
quent to the date of the enactment
of the selective service Iav,towit,May
1R, 1017, but on or prior to January

for deferred classification unless the
dependent is a child of the marriage
horn or unborn on or prior to June
0, 1 IMS, in which case such registrant
upon satisfactory proof being made,
shall be classified in Class 2.
If a registrant other than one who

born or unborn on or before June

trant upon satisfactory proof being
made shall he placed in Class 2.
Nothing contained in the amend
ment to Rule V shall he construed as
requiring the transfer to Class 2 of
any registrant who has been finally
classified in Class 1 on the affirma

Food saving is in its essence th

tration's New Homo Card NoW
In 10,000,000 Homes.
The women of America, who an
anxious to do their great part In the
winning of the war, are now, as a
whole, familiar with the most lmpor
tant aspects of food conservation. The
Home Card, both In Its original form
and in the revised edition for 1918,
wnicn provides lor two wheatless days,
one meatless day a week, In addition
to a wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er a vigorous camnaljrn In 10.600.000
American homes. An Intelligent and
conscientious observance of the Hom
Card's requirements Is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The Food Administration has had a
great many requests, however, particu
larly from the homes of the well-to-do,
that it shoul(,issue a worked out plan
ror a voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for a voluntary ration
springs from two causes first, be
cause It is far simpler for the house
wlfa to save food when she has a con.
crste working plan by which to pro
ceed, and, second, btfeaust the' loyal
women of America desire, unselfishly,
to put themselves on the same basij
as the women of, the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad
ministration is almost the same aa
that adopted In England for Voluntary
observance. All over the United King
dom, In hundreds of houses there
hangs In the front window a -card with
the stirring pledge, "IN HONOR
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION.
AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA
TIONS." The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
In New York city, whence the idea hug
l--8pad through the entire counter, is
the following 1

Meat Beef (fresh, salted, tin
ned and hashed) ; mutton,
lamb and veal (mutton by

looking Fats (margarine, lard,

Wheat Flour (for use in cook
ing gravies, etc., where
corn starch, cracker dust
or bread crumbs cannot be
substituted)
Victory Bread (containing at
lei: st 20 per cent, of a sub

Sugar (including all sugar
used on the table and In

ami candies, but not that
used for canning and pre

The Items listed above are the only

The above ration is in no wise in

After June 7 Enlistment in Training

A group of 247 enlisted men from
California will come to the Oregon,
Agricultural College for training in
auto mechanics, carpentry, blacksmith
ing and wirless. They will be in com
mand of a military" officer and devote
two hours a' day to military "drill.
Their work will be completed August
loth, when a new unit of 500 men will
begin like course. New barricks and
mess halls will have to be erected to
care, for the extra men during regu
lar college work, which will not be af- ,

l'r. V. J. Kerr of the Oregon Agri
cultural College has been asked by the
government ,f continue his series of
war-and-food talks in different sec
tions of the country. v
"No need to ask," said he, "for

Corvallis grower. "I diluted at the
rate of l-to-5o as you recommended,
and for the first time in years produc
ed plants free of maggo.ts, in unpro
tected places." "We are getting
many favorable reports such as this
while other growers report injury,"
says Prof. A. L. Lovett, entomologist

The "work or fight" order, soon to
be enforced, will probably have con
siderable to do with a number of men
in all towns who are married and who
have been given classification by the
local exemption board, which puts
them into classes two, thi-ee or fuor,
Th,:s refers tomarried men.
The local exemption board has re
ceived instructions that cases of with
drawal of deferred classification are
to be considered with sympathy and
also with common sense and that the
board will be given a positive defini
tion as to occupations that are nonproductive
For instance a married man may
be in one of the non-productive lines,
such as waiter at a hotel or cafe, or
engaged in serving drinks. If he will
take the suggestion of the local borad
and engage in a productive business
or occupation, his deferred classifica
tion will remain the same. If not, he
will be placed in Class 1.
The government is going after able
bodied registrants who are married
and who are in non-productive lines,
and according to instructions receiv
ed by the chairman of the local board
these are:
Persons engaged in serving drinks
in public places or hotels. Women
can do their work.
Persons engaged as elevator oper
ators, door and carriage men, drivei-3
of ears of pleasure. Women can do
their work.
Persons engaged in ushering, and
those occupied in games of sport and
amusement, except actual performers.
Persons, which of course means
married men, who are in domestic
service.
Married men who are sales clerks
and other clerks employed in stores
and other mercantile establishments.
This applies to stores where women
could wait on the trade. A married
man in this line of work will be ask
ed to go into something productive
such as ship yard work, or have his
classification changed to Class 1.
These new rules go into effect July
1st, when married men in the above
non-productive pursuits will probably
be asked to talk it over with the local
exemption board
