Draft Drawing Not
 Until Next Week

Washington, Sept. 25-The na- tional lottery, which in a measure will determine the order of calling the 13,OOO,O00 men between 19 and 45 years of age, who registered Sep tember 12, probably will not be held before next week, Officials had hoped to fix date late this week, but this plan is understood to have been abandoned in order that additional time may be given local boards to correct any errors made in assign ing serial numbers to the registrants
 Since men between 19 and 36 are to be the first called to the coIors the drawing will have less effect upon determining the order of the call than did that for the nearly H. 000.000 men who turned 21 before last June 5, Order numbers for all the 13,o0O,000 men will be drawn but youths of Is and men between 36 and 45 will not be classified until the boards have given classification to all the men between and 36 who are the first to receive their questionnaires, In the meantime many of the 19 to S6 classes will have been 1nducted into service,

Just the French one wants to know. This seems to be a very clever short cut to the kind of French one needs at hotels, post-offce, res taurants, tailors, dress makers, hospitals, doc tors offices, dentists or to use in commercial cor respondence. There are idioms and gallicisms which one desires in French continually and which are so hard for the average American to acquire. A large glos- sary of military and na- val expressions.
