All along "The Road to Happiness,"
with side Jaunts Into its sweetly' fra
jrrant highways and byways. William
Hodge led the Heilig audience last
night. And, as we pressed on after him,
adown the ilower-strewn roadway, we
sans with him the count-your-blessings
chant of happiness. -
Like the fabled pathway that follows
to the end of the rainbow and there
discloses a pot of gold, this path, too,
has a promise at its ending. The prom
ise is that of contentment.
And only a fine courage and a high
resolve will bring one safely to the
journey's end.
Roadway Leads to Simple Life.
That part of the highway we trav
eled last night under William Hodge's
splendid direction led us into a village,
along a sweet-smelling, dusty road,
right into a "front yard," with a canary
dipping and whistling in a cage, swung
from an old apple tree, and under
whose shade was the man from home,
puttering away at a tool bench. A collie
bounds in and out of the yard and a
tired old man drives past on a flea
bitten, spavined old horse, pausing at
the gate to exchange the usual and
prescribed rural salutations and
queries.
A sweet-faced, little, old, gray lady
sits in a wheel chair under the tree,
and, when her busy hands cease their
homely task of mending, they flutter
among the leaves of Mrs. Eddy's book
on "Science and Health."
Gentle Science Dramatized.
In actual fact, the play is the gen
tlest, most unpretentious applicatien
of the doctrine of science dramatized..
It is done unostentatiously. Only once
Is the kindly doctrine mentioned, the
book is shown but once, and somewhere
near the end of the unfolding we see
that the little, old, gray lady has left
her wheel chair.
This play of Hodges' is described on
the programme, as a pure play. From
the standpoint of merals it is abso
lutely pure and it is purely a play.
It is of "The Old Homestead" va
riety with a villainous old father, who
drives an innocent stepdaughter out
from under his roof, and the kindly,
unworldly hero, Hodge's role, takes her
home. Takes along also the baby in
the basket that has been left on the
doorstep, just after the girl returns
from an unexplained absence.
The villain and his stool, the vil
lage parson, and a bucolic youth, who
is trying to part the hero from his girl,
gather to paint the hero with tar and
feathers.
Hodge Delivers Sermon.
Then he plants fear in their minds
by thrusting his hand to his gun
pocket and while they stand in terror
of their lives, he delivers some scath
ing, verbal solar plexus blows and
with a flip of his white kerchief,
Oeaves them gaping in chagrin.
It certainly has been written for
William Hodge, and Its rich, Hoosier
dialogue, Indiana home-spun wit and
genial philosophy, fit Hodge like a
fine garment.
Reeva. Greenwood and Gertrude Hits
have light, girlish roles. Miss Green
wood as Jim's fiancee and Miss Hltz
as the girl who is driven out
Villain Is an Achievement.
Scott Cooper's picturing, vocal and
dramatic, of the lrrasclble, old, ras
cally father, Hardcastle, is an achieve
ment and becomes a gem in character
drawing.
A. J. Evans, as Phil Hunt, is a
youngster of T8, who breathes optim
ism, and Edwin Melvin, as an old
judge, makes his presence laugh-notable
though on for only a brief time.
Eugenie Woodward, as Jim's mother,
plays with gracious, womanly dignity.
A half dozen more, all players of dis
tinction, round out the cast.
The scenes are four and are unusu
ally attractive.
The play stays all week at the Hei- I
lig, with only one matinee, on Sat-1
urday.

R. W. FOSTER APPOINTED
BCnLI.VtiTO.K MAS' IS ADVANCED TO
GENERAL AGENT.
Han Who Did First Railroad Work
Under Late A. C. Shelden Succeeds
Early Employer.
R. W. Foster, commercial agent in
Portland for the Burlington railroad
system, has been appointed general
agent to succeed the late A. C. Sheldon,
and will assume his new duties at once.
Mr. Foster has been in the Burling
ton service for 22 years. All his rail
road experience has been gained in
Portland. He is thoroughly familar
with the local territory, with the ship
pers and the traveling public. It Is
generally agreed among railroad men
that the appointment is a most satis
factory one for all concerned.
Although not a native of Oregon,
Rube" Foster has lived here nearly all
his life, and probably is acquainted
with more persons than any other rail
road man in the city. As a youth he
worked on his father's farm near Goble.
Then S. Benson came along and started
logging operations on the place and
"Rube got a job greasing skids. .Be
tween times he studied shorthand and
soon was admitted to practice stenog
raphy in the courts. He served a cir--
cult in Southwestern Washington. '
Th late Mr. Sheldon appointed him
to his first job with the Burlington.
The job was that of stenographer. Then
he became consecutively chief clerk,
passenger agent, assistant general
agent and commercial agent.
I feel highly honored, ne saia yes
terday, "in my appointment to succeed
a man so' capable and so popular as was
Mr. Sheldon. He made an enviable rec
ord for himself with the Burlington and
if I can approach that record 1 will feel
satisfied."

Precinct Revision Discussed by City,
County and School Officers Co
operation in Highway Work
Also la Suggested.
'Feasibility of discarding the old
tents used for polling places, revising
the precinct organization of the county,
and utilizing the public schoolhouses
for polling places was considered at
the joint city, county and school of
ficers' meeting tn the Courthouse last
night.
R. E. Holman, of the County Com
mission; O. M. Plummer, of the School
Board, and R. G. Dleck, of the City
Commission, were appointed on a com
mittee to investigate the subject thor
oughly and ascertain if the plan can
be put into effect.
The tents are the joint property of
the city and county, but have not been
used recently, owing to the refusal of
judges and clerks of election in sev
eral precincts to serve in such quar
ters. Discarding of Tents Favored.
Commissioner&olman last night ad
vanced the Idea of discarding the tents
entirely and co-operating with the
schools to provide polling places. He
pointed out that election materials
could ' be stored permanently in the
schoolhouses and the great expense of
hauling and distributing It at each
election would be eliminated.
It was suggested that the legal
phases of the question be looked into
and that the committee find out
whether It could be possible to leave
the precinct divisions unchanged and
have voters of several precincts use
the same schoolhouse for a polling
place.
As to the tents. It was suggestea
by Mr. Holman and approved y all
present, that the tents could be loaned
to organizations which are seeking to
establish outing camps and fresh-air
resorts for the benefit of the children
of the city.
Other Subjects Considered.
Mr. Brewster emphatically urged.
however, that the tents ought not to
be loaned to any organization which
is conducting a "fresh air camp" for
the use of which charges are maae.
The School Board was asked to con
sider at its meeting Thursday the ap
pointment of a special committee to
co-operate with Mr. Brewster in plans
for establishing playgrounds on vari
ous school properties in the city.
On the subject of swimming lanKS
intended for public schools in the city,
Mr. Brewster announced that if the
School Board could arrange for them
to have an entrance by which they
could be reached without passing
through the schoolhouses, and thus in
them to be used as public natatoriums
outside of school times, the city prob
ably would be only too willing to fur
nish water gratis.
Citv and county also may una a
point of co-operation in the work on
the Columbia Highway. Mr. Brewster
suggested to Mr. Holman last night
that if the road is in reauiness iur
such DurDoses this Winter, the city
may be able to use it to advantage
as a means of furnishing work crush-
inir rock In case the problem oi un
employment in the city shall become
acute again in Portland next Winter.
2 BOYS GET fi
F. WRIGHT HIRES LADS TO DO
CHORES DURING SUMMER.
Appeal of Associated Charities In The
Oregonian Answered Others, One
Widow's Son, Eager to Earn Money.
An a. result of the story in The Ore-
gonian of the five boys who asked the
Associated Charities to find them
places on farms where they mignt
work durlna- the Summer because they
did not want to be a charge on the
fund for the fresh air children, two
of the boys, Ernest and Artnur, yes
terday were placed on a farm. They
left in the morning, the happiest boys
In Portland. Their employer is l l.
Wright, of Portland, who owns a farm
near Dayton.
The boys are especially fond of ani
mals and Mr. Wright assured them
that there are "all kinds or live
stock" on the farm, from puppies to
horses. There are plenty of chores to
do and berries to pick and the owner
of the farm agreed to let the boys pay
their way and earn a little money on
the side attending to this work.
Three other boys, in addition to the
original five, applied to the Associated
Charities yesterday to be placed on
farms. They are willing to work their
way and desire to pass a longer time
in the country than the two weeks that
is given in the fresh air excursions.
"Joe," aged 14, and "Albert," ,10.
are the boys who want to go where
there are animals on the farm, for they
like pets. Joe announced that he can
milk a cow and that he wants to take
his little brother along, "to help him
with the chores."
Another applicant is the 14-year-old
son of a widow, who wants a chance
to be in the country and thinks that
