 to Confer

Washington, November 1--Reorgan- ization of the automobile industry to aid in the prosecution of the war, which will be discussed tomorrow by manufacturers and the war industries board of the council of national de- fense. has met with such general ap- provaI from the manufacturers that no difficulty seems to stand in the way of working agreement. Confi- denee was expressed tonight by both sides that outlines of reorganization could be determined quickly and that the great motor factories oE the coun- try soon would be turning out war supplies.
 Since a recent preliminary meeting of the manufacturers and the board the former have been studying tentative plan suggested by Howard F. Coffin contemplating the diversion of 40 per cent of each plant to the production of airplanes, munitions and other war commodities.
 Shortage of materials used in au- tomobile manufacture. such as steel and nickel has been urged as another reason for curtailing the output of pleasure vehicles.

"Ben-Hur" at Jefferson

Klaw < Erlanger's impressive produc- tion or Ben n-Hur',' with cast, scenery, equipment, horses and cameIs, begins an engagement st the Jefferson Monday and Tuesday, matinee Tuesday, November F and 13
 This imposing spectacle is sermon in varied speech, illustrated by art and music. The chariot race is probably the most wildly thrilling picture that the stage has ever known. A rumble is heard in the background, the hurrying chatter of horses feet. Two chariots, each drawn by four horses, form the center of the picture. The animals, with far stretched necks and dilated nostrils, run like mad, urged on by the whips of the charioteers, Ben-Hur and his deadly enemy, Messala. The wheels of the char iots rumble and sway. Now, Ben-Hur is ahead. now Messala, then Hur again. and the race is won. The music which Edgar Stillrnan Kelley has composed for the production has much to do with the success of "Ben-Hur." It Is scholarly and creditable alike for it's dignity and serious purposes.
 To present the remarkable play, no less than 250 people are required Tn the chariot race there are 25 horses contest ing.
