DRAFT 258.n

The Flower of Babel" will be
shown in mammoth reproduction
in Draft 1885," Metros special pro-
duction de luxe which will he shown
at the Rex theater tomorrow and
Friday, matinees and evnings. The
structure was erected at great ex-
pense, two weeks being required for
its completion, and it was torn down
after having been in actual use less
than half day. I,
Elephants, donkeys, camels and
goats were used in these scenes, not
to mention thousand players dress
ed in the costumes of ancient Ba-
.bylonians, Assyrians, Jews and Ro-
mans. Every phase Of the varl-c0l-
ored life Of Asia Minor in the days
Of 2227 B. G.. is pictured. Many ma
tives of the old world were secured
for these large scenes, and when the
time came for the showing OF the
"confounding of tongues" where all
were supposed to speak different Ian
guages, many of the plays uneon-
sciously began to speak their native
tongue, adding to the realism OF the
spectacular scenes. "Draft 258" is
one of the most ambitious photo
dramas ever offered to the American
public, and is the logical successor
to Metros other great patriotic pho
todrama, '..'The Stacker" Both pro.
auctions were. directed by Wllllam

BROTHER is SHOT.

John Packwood, of Toppenish,
brother of Mrs. G. R. Bradshaw, was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded last
Monday evening during a peace cele-
bration in Toppenish. The shooting
is alleged to have been done by Con-
stable Chas. Gay while intoxicated.
According to stories told by eye wit
nesses Gay said he was looking for
proc Germans and Packwood jokingly
remarked: "I'm a pro-German." The
bullet, entered Packwood's left side,
passed through his body, just missing
the heart, and lodged in the right arm.
The wounded man is highly respect
ed business man and has the repu-
tation of being one of Toppenish's
most enthusiastic war supporters.
Mrs. Bradshaw was notified of the
shooting a few minutes after it hap
pened.

INFLUENZA BAN
Is NOW LIFTED
Permission is Given to Open the
Churches, Schools, Theatres
and Pool Rooms

DR.. Walter Morrison, county health
officer, has lifted the influenza clos
ing ban but warns the people that pre-
cautions are still necessary to safe
guard the public health. The moving
picture theatre and pool and card
rooms will be permitted to open to-
morrow, churches may open Sunday
and the schools Monday.
In announcing the lifting of the
quarantine DIR. Morrison said: ."I wish
to warn the public that although the
epidemic is on steady decline the
community is by no means free from
infection. New cases are being re-
ported each day and the opening of
places of public meeting can be kept
in force only if the people cooperate
with the health authorities. Teachers
preachers, and proprietors of public
places will be given implicit instruc-
tions to eject any individuals who have
colds or any symptoms of influenza
and to report such cases to me. Par
ents are warned that any child who is
sent to school from home where
there is influenza will be promptly
sent home and the parents will be
prosecuted"

CHURCHES WILL NOT OPEN
UNTIL WEEK FROM SUNDAY
Methodist, Baptist and Congregational
Pastors Decide Not to Open
This Sunday

By mutual agreement of the three
pastors there will be no services Sun
day in the Methodist, Baptist and Con-
gregational churches. Altho the health
authorities have given permission to
the churches to resume services, the
pastors, after conferring with several
members of their congregations, deem
ed advisable to keep their churches
closed for another week. IF there is
no appreciable spread of influenza
next week by reasons of the schools
having opened services will be held in
all three churches the following Sun
day.

SCHOOL DAYS MAY
BE HEIGHTENED
Superintendent Hoffman Calls
on Parents to Cooperate with
School Authorities

Supt. III. III. Hoffman, of the Kenne-
wick schools, is of the opinion that if
the years work is to be finished it
will be necessary perhaps to lengthen
the school day, teach on Saturday and
eliminate vacations. He makes the
following appeal to parents to coop
crate with the school authorities in
helping the children overcome the
present handicap.
"The state board of health has lifted
the quarantine on meetings of all
kinds. The Kenewick schools will be-
gin work Monday morning, November
13. Thresholds have been closed FOR
six weeks and it will necessitate the
closest cooperation between patrons,
pupils and teachers to finish the pre-
scribed years work in creditable
manner. By lengthening the daily ses-
sions, eliminating vacations, possibly
holding school on Saturdays, intensi-
flying the application on essentials the
years work can be done, and the dis
Ftrict will not have lost anything on ac-
count Of the long vacation. This is
the spirit of the teachers in the matter,
and if the parents and pupils will meet
them half way in the proposition it
lis all that will be necessary.
"We believe that the danger of in
fluenza is past and we urge parents
to send their children Monday morn
ing and to keep them in school every
day thereafter until the close Of the
year. It will be necessary for them
to do this if the children are to be
promoted in the regular way. The
American people have become accus-
toned to 'drives-let's have a school
drive now and make the most possible
out of a badly broken school year.
"H. H. Hoffman, Supt."

WAR WORK QUOTA
is LESS THAN
HALF PLEDGED
Must be Material Speeding Up If
Total is Reached by Satur-
day Evening
BOYS AND GIRLS HELPING
Committee Hopes That Personal Solic-
itation Will Not Be Necessary
$14OO Now In.

At noon today less than 'hIf of
Kennewick's quota to the United War
Work fund had been subscribed but
the committee was hopeful that the
total would be reached by Saturday
evening without the pecessity of So
licitors taking the field. The quota
is $3442.65 and subscriptions to date
amount to about $140O. This, however,
does not include the contributions of
the Victory Boys and Girls, who under
the direction of F. ]. Arnold and Mrs.
Geo. E. Tweedt are making an excel
lent showing. To stimulate this fea-
ture of the campaign Mr.. Arnold has
posted an honor roll on one Of the
large bill boards on Second street and
the name of each subscriber is listed
there. The complete list will be pub
ished next week.
Owing to an oversight some of the
notices of assessment were not mailed
out until yesterday which to some ex-
tent accounts for the slowness with
which subscriptions are coming in.
The committee will check the list
tomorrow and make special effort to
reach the quota by Saturday. To the
county people who cannot get to town
it is suggested that they telephone
their bank and arrange to have their
subscriptions paid there.
In connection with the campaign
Senator Miles Poindexter has issued
the following appeal to the people of
this state through the state commit
tee:
/ take pleasure in adding my testi-
mony of approval and commendation
of the merit and value of the United
War Work Committee. The idea of
combining for mutual cooperation and
assistance the Y. M. C. A., Knights of
Columbus, Y. M. q. Al Salvation
Army, and the other relief organiz-
ations referred to, is based on the best
common sense and good Judgment as
tending towards harmony of action
and the utmost efficiency of this work
for the comfort and protection of our
soldiers.
I know that the authorities of the
Army have come to depend upon the
help Of these organizations In the
great work of preserving the spirit
and morale, as well as the physical
and moral welfare upon which indeed
the former is based. No nation has
ever given a greater demonstration Of
harmonious patriotism, love of country
and spirit Of sacrifices than the Amer
leans have in this war. The peoples
hearts are with their fighting soldiers
at the front and their 1ove and graft
tude go out to the organizations which
are succoring in their time Of distress
and need.
Wishing you every success, remain
with kind regards,
Very truly yours
(Signed) MILES POINDEXTER.

ALL ARMY DRAFT
CALLS CANCELLED
Local Board Receives Orders Not
to Entrain Men this Month
To Classify Youths

The 80 men which Benton county
was to have entrained for Camp Lew
is November 20 will not be called into
service at this time. A telegram cam
ceiling all outstanding calls for men
for the army was received Monday
by the local draft board.
The board has also been ordered to
Immediately discontinue the classifi-
cation of registrants above the age of
81, but to continue the classification
of youths of 10 and to begin the class
ification of registrants between the
ages of 18 and 19.
Instructions to the local board are
contained in two kilograms from Capt.
Ziegaus, in charge of the selective
service work in this state. The tele-
grams follow:
By direction of the president, all
calls issued to your board for entrain-
ment this month are hereby cancelled.
In event you have mailed form 1923
to any men, recall same Immediately,
keeping complete copy of your recall
order or communication. Detailed in
structions as to classification list and
other record entries with respect to
men who were to have been entrained
this month will follow by mail. Until
further instructions do not induct any
men for army under individual compe-
tent orders. This cancellation how
ever, does not effect nor change any
call or competent order for induc-
tions into the navy or marine corps.
All procedure with respect to delin-
quents and deserters will continue ex-
actly as heretofore until further or
ders. The purpose of this telegram is
merely to cancel outstanding calls and
stop entrainment Hereunder of men
for the army. All men released from
induction under the provisions of this
telegram are liable for immediate call
in the usual manner at any time. The
orderly processes of classification,
physical examination and other activ-
tiles of the selective draft will not be
affected or interrupted as the result
of this telegram.
You will at once instruct state head
quarters and local and district boards
Immediately to discontinue all work
connected with the classification of
men who on Sept. 18th, 1913, had at
tanned their thirty-seventh birthday.
You will further instruct said boards
to continue to completion as expedi-
tiously as possible, the classification
of all registrants, who on Sept. 18th,
1918, had attained their nineteenth
birthday and had not attained their
thirty-seventh birthday. You will fin
ally, at the earliest appropriate mo-
ment, direct all local and district
boards to issue questionaaires to all
registrants, who on Sept. 18th, 1918,
had attained their eighteenth birth
day and had, not attained their nine
teenth birthday, and to proceed with
and complete as early as possible the
classification of such registrants.
In entering, pursuant to the fore
going instructions, upon what seems,
in view of the all mighty events of the
day, to be the final work of this char
acter to be done by the selective ser
vice system, 1 extend to the members
of that system my personal congratu-
lations upon their truly great achieve
