Be that as it may, the flu mask is much ev dence today in Pendleton, and thoita wearing1 the maka are making- the best of the situation and doing it good natu redly as a rule. The barbers are Kenerally ob serving the mask rule, and those not doing so wHi it is announc ed be reported to the city at torney, as wiil aIo thone work in other occupations required to wear masks, who fail to meet the requirements. Some of the restaurants have their wait-y ers equipped with the flu' de stroyers whtJe others have not. us yet done so. This with the 13 special flu officers to be seen on the sreets today make the most npliceable outward evidence of the fir.st day of enforcing the nw flu ordinance. The special officers wear a blue ribbon on which a re printed t he words Fl u Of - f icer. They are stationed at the entrance of the leading stores, vliore they keep count of the number if people enter- ing and when the limit is reached hold up others from entering. With one day of the new rules Guy C. Matlock, manager of the Pastime shows has vol- un tartly closed his shows as he finds it utterly impossible to keep open with the limit of every other seat occupied and every other row left vacant. Below are the business houses where guards have been placed and the number of people allow- ed to be in the building at one time: First National bank, 20, if the back door is used; Amer- lean National bank, 25; Alexan- ders, 35; Peoples Warehouse, 35: J.
