The boapd is accepting no men whose going away for army service would make it necessary for their dependents td go to work. In line with what is now being done on dependency claims, the local boatd for this district w revoke its de- cisions on dependency cases heretofare heard and not allowed and will review all such cases, o that the decisions Gpon them will be in line with the d®- cisions made on like cases Thursday. The result of this will be a delay in filling the district's quota, but a suffi- cient number of men will be available to meet all of the calls expected dur- ing September, and possibly a suffi- cient nuraber of men will Le obtained without calling more men for physical examina- fons.
