MISSING DRAFT NUMBER
FOUND TO BE 1864

Washington. July 2l.-Number 1864
Is the number which should have been
in the empty capsule that came out Of
h bowl early his morning in the
army draft lottery. It was discovered
several hours later by checking official
talley sheets. Officials in charge Of the
detail of the scheme say. however, that
1t probably will be placed finally in the
order in which it should have been
drawn. its rotation number being TO-
004. This would show each number
from 10000 to 10,449, down one place
further on the list.
There is one case Of a duplicated
number. $3.50 and $3.50. both were re-
corded as the same number. Upside
down either number becomes the other.
The ruling made is that the first
number recorded will be regarded as
correct.

IDEA JUST SUITED DR.. HALE
Famous Minister Declares That He
Had Always Wanted His Church
Called "Ths Exeter Club"

@A.kShf IL. &fN"<WAA
The sexton Of Edward Everett Hale's
church suffered from that convenient
form of deafness that prevented a
man from hearing what he does not
wish to hear and enables him to hear
what he does wish to hear. Occa-
stonally, when sweeping the sidewalk
In front of the church, some stranger
would ask him for information, and
his usual answer was a wave of the
hand. I'm totally deaf, totally deaf.
You will have to ask someone in the
church,"
It often happened that Doctor Hale,
in the midst Of a busy day, would find
the luncheon hour at hand and an
important appointment still unmet.
1t was his custom to invite his caller
into his study and ask the janitress
to make an oyster stew. The sexton
resented Doctor Hale's informality.
The time came for a new sign to be
placed on the front of the church, and
Doctor Hale and the assistant pastor
were standing in the vestry aisle dis
cussing just what the wording of it
should be. To their surprise the con-
versation was suddenly interrupted by
the deaf sexton, who stood far enough
away to make doubtful the ability of
a normal persons overhearing what
had been said. 'Ill tell you what to
put on that sign!" he exclaimed.
"'Come in! Everybody welcome!
Meals served at all hours of the day
and nightl'"
"All right" said Doctor Hale quick
ly. THAT'S what we will do. I've al
ways wanted to call the church The
Exeter Club !"-Youth's Companion.

The Military Hospitals Commission
at Quebec has kept an account Of how
Canadian troops Jared in the wa-, and
has compiled some interesting and as

Addressing Canadian mothers and
fathers, the commission says;
II your boy goes 10 the front:
He has 20 chances Of coming home
10 one chance Of being killed.
He has 90 chances OF recovering from
a wound to two chances Of dying.
He has only one chance in 500 OF los

He will live i've years longer because
Of physical training
He is freer from disease in the army
than in civil life.
He has better medical care at the

In other wars from 10 10 IS men died
from disease to one from bullets.
In this war one man dies from dis

is less wasteful Of life than any other

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6,-England took

find out what It's doing to the movies
and what the movies are doing to it.
The results slid quietly into Wash
ington's musty official records today
and went to sleep forever, barring this
temporary resurrection.
The question Of abolishing the insti-
tuition altogether has been agitatel by
a lot Of professional anti-somethlng-
brothers who didn't have anything
else TO anti for the time beins.
From these van leaders, the movie
opposition rang all the changes down

that the British Isles possess $500 pic

only get around every three weeks.
But even II the shows should be o
little more carefully censored, the Com
mlssioners declared, they are worth
while because they have broken up
street gangs Of boys and keep thou
sands OF husbands and fathers with
their families who otherwise would be
out at a pub, doing a lot Of very sin
cere drinking.
Some folks in England disagree with
the Commission and say the movies
ought to be spanked and sent back to

august Commission disagrees with this
view.

film service for children, under public
or governmental control and financing
Il also suggests that the theatres be
better lighted and more closely super
yised Spoonlng at the movies has long
