A. S. Engineers will meet tonight at eight o'clock. Tins Evenna if weatkei. mm Weather permitting, the Moose band will give thfir regular mid-week concert at park this evening at 8 o'clock.

In spite of the fact that the band has been seriously handicapped this year because so many of the former personnel have gone to war. Director Stevens has succeeded in producing a band which is attracting larger crowds to the parks at each concert. Mr. Stevens has promised an exceptionally good program for this evening in an effort to bring more people out to see the gorgeous flower gardens at McKennan park, which aro now at the height of their beauty. At no time has the park looked more 'inviting and more beautiful, with its board stretches of closely-cut velvety lawns, Its well kept shrubbery and Its flaming flower gardens of riotous color, which are eliciting the admiration of the hundreds who are daily visiting the park.

Last boulevard is also coming In for Ms sbure ot praise, since the flowers in the center parkings have begun to burst forth In ull of their beauty, making of the boulevard one long gorgeous display of color. The rannas are now especially beautiful In their settings of soft The kiddles who frequent the wading pool at McKennan park have also had a new Joy added to their splauh-Ings. The board recently ordered a Mnall new slide erected at the edge of the pool to serve as a small water slide. And from the time that Caretaker Dan Tremere was compelled to hold the children at bay with many threats, long enouah to erect it, tho popularity of this slide has not been In doubt. Without question this pool furnishes more real enjoyment than any other recreational feature of the park.

The same arrangement of parking automobiles on the ball field near the band stand, will be in force this evening, as the board has found the arrangement to be very popular with car frwners, besides relieving the congestion on the street and providing more seats for those going to the park afoot.

As 11 year olds registered last June. It is anticipated that only about 60 will be required to register a week, from Saturday.

D. Manchester, chairman of sub-region nine of region 16, today received a wire from regional director D. R. Cotton of St. Paul: C.

Koch, acting Washington representative of region 18, has been granted leave of absence by the executive committee of this tegton to assist C.

Field. The board will meet Saturday and the following Wednesday to determine the physical fitness of those 1918 registrants who have been referred to them by Dr. W. E. Moore of the local draft board.

When these cases have been decided next week. It will complete the examinations of the June 1918 registrants. Dr. Moore examined 18 on Tuesday and eight on Wednesday. In the first group he accepted 5.

rejected i and sent 3 to the medical advisory board. In the Wednesday group he accepted four, rejected three and deferred the eighth man for later remedy. While the number rejected the past two weeks has appeared high, it is largely dtie to the increased rigid examinations being held to cut down the number rejected at the camps. It is felt to be a better and more economical policy to make certain that those accepted here will be acceptable at the camp, rather than send them on a needless trip.
