C.. that he must report to the local board for this district. Rarrington’s is a_strange experience and is indicative of the way in which the long arm of Uncle Sam reache$ out and plucks the boys of the se- lected service for the . districts to which they are accredited. In this case the whole circumstances are such, however. as to win the sympa- thy of evervone who knows the de- tails surrounding Barrington'’s. predic- ament. 3 Barringten registered. June 4. at Eastford, as required by special act of congress, and soon thereafter had an opportunity for employment in the state of Washington. He accepted this, but before going away did not make arrangements for the members: of the local board ‘to know his Pacific Coast address. July 28 he was ordered by the local exemption board to report in Putnam for physical examination. He did not report and In due course of time the local ‘board certified him to the district board at Hartford as not having re- ported. The district board notifitd the adjutant general's office in Wash- ington and from there the search for Barrington began, successfully ending in Texas. < When Bairington arrived. hegs> on Thursday afternoon he. had a surpris- ing story to teil, and the evidence to back it up.

In the meantime, not knowing tha: he had been called for service back in Con- necticut, he had enljsted in San Fran- cisco as an aviator, this on August 9, and had been transferred to Texas, where he finally got his ndtice to re- port in Putnam. With him on Thursday Barrington brought this local board’s notice of July "28. The envelope's . postmarks showed that it had gone to Eastford, Conn., thence in order to Fairfield, Washington: Sherwood, Oregon: Lew- iston, Idaho: Fort McDowell, Califor- nia; Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where Barrington finally received it.
