STRIKING PICTURE
 IF OVERLAND WORK

Striking scenes descriptive of the making of an automobile motor, never before shown on a motion picture screen, will be seen in "A Tale of Two Sleeves" the motion picture story of the Knight sleeve valve motor at the Columbia theater on June 4 and 5. Word of this addition to the pictures reached MT. Hotchkiss of the Overland Arizona company yesterday.
 q understand" said MT. Hotchkiss, that in addition to further scenes de- scriptive of the design and operation of the Knight motor. the Willys-O Over land company has had produced pie ture calculated especially to interest women. This picture forms a lesson in automobile driving. A car is shown, and seated at the wheel is a girl who operates the clutch pedal. switch but ton, and other simple mechanism of the modern automobile.
 "The day is past when women hesi- tate to drive a gasoline car. The req son is that manufacturers. realizing that women do not care for complicated machinery have reduced the operating mechanism of the automobile to point where a child can understand and handle it."

VACC|NAT|ON|S
 URGEDUP0 ALL
 BY GOVERNMENT

There seems to be a widespread misunderstood to the vaccination order issued by the board of health and now being carried into effect through out the state. Therefore, the following statement is issued by the special con- mittee on public health of the council of defense.
 The vaccination order was precipi- tated by the following telegram from the United States public health ser vice:
 Washington, D. C.. March 8, 1918. Superintendent of Public Health,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Urgently advise promulgation of order by state board of health requir- l ing vaccination school children throughout Arizona Re-vaccination adults should be urged. This order es- sential as war measure and for in dustrial efficiency especially in view constant occurrence smallpox and large per cent unvaccinated population. Other states have responded to recom- mendations this character. Public health service prepared to render any assistance to maintain proper health standards at this most critical period. (SlSned) BLUE. General Rupert Bell is the head of the United States public health de- partment, and it is his business to con- serve the health of the nation at this most critical period" He considers it essential as a war measure'' to have the civil population vaccinated against smallpox. He invoked the aid of the state machinery for that purpose be- cause that was the simplest and most direct method. One who knows the inside history of the cantonments will appreciate the vital need for stopping sNe importation of contagious diseases into those training camps.
 There is a statutory law in Arizona requiring all minors to be vaccinatec. In deference to public opinion, in times when only this state was interested this law has been enforced when We had local epidemics, and more or less dlsregarded at other times. Now, when this state, like individuals, can no longer be a law to itself, when the aDove telegram was received, the state board of health, through it's superin- tendent, issued instructions to all local health authorities to enforce the exist Ing law as war measure.
 l i~NCh II lHSIc were d Sclent11lC arRu- . ment against vaccination (and there is none), such argument would be i'm proper, if not actually seditious. pu- forward at this time. This order, like many others may ride rough shod over personal opinions and may be resented
 by those who place their individua, Ideas above patriotism, but, like al
 other war measures, it must be carried

 , The United States public health ser. vice has offered to place an officer o-
 their service in Arizona to take charg, , of public health matters and if there i, | resistance to this and other recommen. | dations from Washington, this offe, may be accepted. The state superin. tendent of health, however, believes that the vast majority of the citizenr, of the state will periodically suppor General Blues urgent request and no make forcible means necessary.
