General observance of the rule re quiring stores to close at 3:30 and of fices at 4 o'clock was reported. In terpretation of the regulations was found difficult in many cases, but most of the store owners and , others were anxious to abide by the spirit of the order designed to put a check to the influenza epidemic;.

"While the 34 deaths reported was tne largest num ber for any one day and 175 new cases were recorded, these reports covered 48 hours. Puzzled Citizens Ask Questions. Both the Mayor's office and the Health Bureau were kept busy answer ing questions from puzzled citizens. Charles F. Berg, of the Retailers' As sociation, volunteered ' his services to the Mayor and was immediately pressed into service. He will be on the Job as long as needed, he declared. Hal White, Mayor Baker's secretary, was back after a sharp attack of influenza and Mayor Baker also was on the job after an enforced rest. Interpretations of the order insofar ss problems had arisen during the day, were furnished last nigtit as follows:- Stores open at 0 A. M.. close at 3l30 P. M. Kniployes to be released at once so they may go home before shipyard and other workers are released. . Office buildings and offices close at 4 P. M., releasing employes soon as possible.

"Public market close at 3:30. "Public Library closed entirely. 'Kxpress and railroad companies close to public at r.:;.0. releasing office employes. "In factories, fuel yards, wholesale es tablishments, offices close at 3:110, but de liveries may continue. Release workers whenever possible, but can clean up day's business with few remaining. To enforce the regulations and to ex plain to those affected how the new order works out, the entire police force and 50 members of the Oregon Military Police were sent out yesterday. School Teachers Called to Help. A flying squadron of school teachers to educate the public and to help in cleaning up Portland homes in the cam paign against influenza is the plan of "ity Health Officer Parrish, who will initiate the move today. Teachers are asked to come to the council chamber of the City Hall at 2:30 to receive instruct. ons as to their work. "While the entire plan is based on the willingness of the teachers to help in the fight against the disease, it is believed a large proportion of the 2200 teachers will respond. The plan has the indorsement of Superintendent Grout and other school officials. Houses whore influenza patients are nuartered will be placarded by health bureau employes. No persons except the attending physician and those living in the house will be allowed to come and go. Presiding Judge Tucker announced yesterday that no more cases will be set in the Circuit Court until the in fluenza epidemic is over. The Novem ber jury will not be called and the courts will remain open for the hear ing of only those cases which can be determined without a jury. In view of the small number of persons in a court room since the jury has been dismissed, the courts will continue to transact business until the usual hour of adjournment. The other county offices also will remain open during the usual periods. Deaths Now Total 2SO. Total deaths reported now are 2S0.
