As soon as these boards nre prop,

They will proc d to number tho

All the chances lo eliminate will
bo worked out in Washington. The

and rolled out of n big leather bottle.
Tho exact method to bo employed
in this loll cry hns not been decided
upon, but it will bo sure to leave tho
first selections entirely to chance.
F.nnugh numbers will be rolled nut
to allow for men not up to physical
standards and men who must bo ex

Tho mails will bo used to notify
men of their selection. Letters will

The methods of tho registration

And so on.
In most eases this information
will be n matter of com in on knowl

towns where everybody's business is
known by everybody else, the answer
to these questions may even be per
sonally known to members of the
hoard. In big cities the situation
will be a little different. Examina

into filets. In some eases the boards
may have to tako steps to get inde

Appeal Hoards Work,
About five days, it is believed, will
be enough to get Ihe information de
sired. Alter this will come the work
of the appeal boards, one in each
judicial district. These will pass on
appealed eases.
Itcgiiiiiing within n few days the
government will mail out forms which
will be used ill milking claims for
cxemplion or discharge, affidavits
which must be filled out by ministers
of the gospel, judges, police, mayors
and other public officers.
Some dissatisfaction has been
voiced wilh selections made for ex

is paid to lliesc protests. The au
thorities here assume that anv ex

work is bound to be criticised, 'flic
policy of the department, therefore,
is to accept Ihe appointments of the
governors ami to tell lite hoard- to

IN"EW YORK, July 3 4. America's
most romantic family has again umaz

flying today on every tongue:
"Will these marriages of Klngdon
and Qoorge, Jr., be any happier than
the Gould average?"
"Will society receive Mrs. Klngdon
Gould, who was an Itullun governess,
and Mrs. George Gold, Jr., who was a
professional dancer?"
And the gossips' tongues are wag

With a fine disregard for the opln.

Edwin Gould married Sarah Shra-

not recorded that the marriage was a
huppy one.
Anna Gould's love affairs furnished

CODLING MOTH AND

extended over a period of S to 10
weeks. Ideal weather conditions this

About the usual number of moths

weeks that emerged last year In 8 or
10 weeks, and, unless tho spray was
applied at the proper tlmo infection

In orchards that were sprayed a

two weeks after the spray application,
