taching the numbers classified all reg istrants by age, making a separate group of 1Syear-old registrants, sec- ond for registrants between 19 and 37 and a third for those from 37 to 45 years old. This was held to introduce a possibility of affecting unfairly the order of the call, ll,though the intention was merely to facilitate the additional work of classification to be done later and orders were issued to renumber the entire group. Only five states have now to report the totals of the regis trants
 Unless their returns show sharp de- creases under the official estimate, tho total registration will exceed the orig. ina1 estimate of 12,77s 900
 Distribution of a manual for the guid- apce of legal advisory boards throughout the country in assisting registrants so fill out their questionnaires was begun today by the office of the provost mar shal general.
 Attendance of at least one member of the advisory board during all sittings of the local board was urged.
 The obligation resting upon the regis trant to see that he received his ques- tionnaire in time to make returns within the specified seven days is emphasized d in the manual, which points out that the registrant can guards against delay by consulting the daily record of question: naires mailed out at the office of the local board.
 In conclusion the manual says that not only those on the legal advisory boards, but 'all lawyers should deem it priv lilege and a patriotic duty to stand ready and willing to advise registrants without compensation.

Reports received today by Provost Marshall General Crowder from nearly all states indicated that satisfactory progress is being made by local boards in attaching serial numbers to the reg istration cards, but in one or two in stances mistakes by local boards have made necessary the renumbering of cards for all registrants under their Jurisdiction. No date for the drawing can be fixed until this work is com pleted.

 Cards

Washington. September 24.-The na- tional lottery which, in measure, will determine the order of the calling of the 13,0o0,0a0 men between IS and 45 years of age who registered Sep termber 12 probably will not be held before next week. Officials had hoped to fix a date late this week, but this plan is understood to have been aban- doned in order that additional time may be given local boards to correct any errors made in assigning serial numbers to the registrants.
 Since men between 19 and S6 are to be the first called to the co1ors, the drawing will have less effect upon de- termining the order of the call than did that for the nearly 100000 men who turned 21 before last June ,. or der numbers for all the 100000 will be drawn but youths of l and men be- tween 36 and 45 will not be classified until the boards have given classifica- tion to all the men between l9 and 36 who are the first to receive their ques- tionnaires.

BURR GIVES HIGH PRAISE ID VALOR OF ALABAMA TROOPS Speakers Address Large Audience at Meeting
 at the Jefferson
 Theatre

The final meeting of the all war work week committees at the Jefferson thea ire last night was one of the largest of the series. The speakers were in good form and for two hours thorough ly entertained the audience that packed the theatre.
 Chairman w. Carson Adams of the Young Mems Christian association pre- sided. Miss Katie Boyd George, George S. Ingles, Borden Burr and Gypsy Smith were the speakers and the Boys Industrial band furnished the music.
 Miss George and MT. Ingles told Of the work in France of the Young Mems Christian association, and MT. Burr and Gypsy Smith, touching upon the Young Mems Christian association, devoted the greater part of their talk to the sol diers, their acts of heroism, their splen- did spirits and the seriousness with which they went at the job in hand.
 Mir. Burr told of the wonderful things done by the Alabama boys at Chateau Thierry, of the old Fourth Alabama regiment going into battle 5000 strong and the next day having only 5S5 eff fective men in line They crossed an open field in the face of fierce machine gun fire, men falling here and there and not a man flinching. One-half of the men fell before they crossed it, he said. but the objective was reached.
 Gypsy Smith told of the first Eng fish army of 160, 900 that crossed over to France of whom only 12,000 came back, of only 50 of the 2000 officers re- turning. Their spirits are high; they don't worry: Eve tried to cheer them; they cheered me; they made me feel like 30 cents, as you Americans say"
 He told of the cruelty, the barbarity of the Germans. "They never played the game fair; they don't know how to play the game fair; they never will play the game fair; therefore. we must put Germany where she can never do any more harm"
 He appealed to those at home to write to the boys over there. "They are giv- ing their lives cheerfully for us. God forbid that we should play them false." Chairman W. Carson Adams stated that the Jefferson theatre management had donated the use of thestheatre free of charge and in order to do so had cancelled theatrical engagement. The Commercial Printing company, he said, had printed all the advertising matter free, and took the men and presses off of other jobs i'll order that. it might turn out the work in time.
 1 MT. Adams also stated that this was the fifty eighth time the Jefferson theatre had been used for war work and always without charge.

FASHIONS

Fashion authorities and style stu
dents generally have had reason to
wonder. during the past two or three
seasons. whether or not the tailored
suit, at one time the universally ac-
cepted street. jgarb of every we'll
dressed woman. is to pass from view.
That the business Of suit designing
and that Of dress designing are
widely separated is evidenced by the
definite inroads made by dress design
ers upon the business Of their rivals
in the suit field. There's no co-opera-
ton here. The modish tailored frock
for street wear is far in the lead Of
the suit, and each season sees this
condition increasingly emphasized.
There are suit" dresses and Goat"
dresses and just dresses; but what
ever the classification, women have
learned that the one-piece tailleur IS
by far the most comfortable garment
for service or utility wear.
The sketch illustrates a smart mid
winter tailleur featuring q new ana
popular color combination, tan and
black. The frock proper is made of
black velvet. The slightly draped
tunic reveals a narrow petticoat of
tan angora cloth. Vest and high col
lar, tall enough nearly to cover the
mouth, are Of angora, and a deep
square yoke Of this fabric breaks the

NEW YORK. November 5.-Cer-
tain things creep in to high places
without causing much attention until
they have established themselves. The
clever ones are those who have su1Ii-
cient vision to see how a certain thing
is shaping itself toward popularity or
disaster. This mental far-sightedness
is not given to many. so the rest Of the
world stumbles along as best 1t may,
judging Of the present and taking the
word Of others for what may and may
not be.
And they are usually as happy az the
visionists. They wear clothes that
neighbors wear; they adopt that which
is fashionable; they buy what Is In
demand and they have the satisfaction
of knowing that theJ are not behind
the stir of the times This in itself
gives strong feeling Of security.
So, when brown became the color OF
the few, the world did not grasp at
once that 1t was to be the color Of the
many, and dark blue was ordered IN
