And if there is one solo in all the world of musica history that sets one's teeth on edge when its highest note gets ali messed up., that song is "My Hero." Singers either do take its tip-top note true anl straight as a die or else they fumble it. But not alone is the "Hero" song The Chocolate Soldier" one that lives and lingers and is beloved, but all of ts melodies are equally beautiiul and memorable. They are heard less ire quently, naturally, because they offer little inducements tor pyrotechnics oi a vocal order for soloists. Also they have no top note. In mua ical Portland a good top note will in variably cover any multitude of lower regiater sins. So we are particularly glad that the "My Hero" song in "The Chocolate Soldier" which opened last night at the Heilig, was intrusted to a slim, pretty girl, who. could sing it. Not glad that she is slim, necessarily certainly glad she is pretty, and oh. very, very glad that she can sing "My Hero all through, from his low est tuneful note to the far-soaring, piercingly sweet one that the orches tra urges on and on with splendid climacteric of orchestration. .

It is a role Mr. Phillips fits nicely into and one he plays well. He is a come dian to his finger tips. This feature of Mr. Phillips' playing should be par ticularly praised, for it is rare, indeed, that a good, big singing voice is ac companied by any dramatio intelli gence whatever.

Thomas Edison, at work in his labora tory, after miduight today discovered a. FeDruary 16 at tne Cafe Laloy, which the "Hello Girlie" letter from Trustee Charles W. Blackmore, and who was found" dining with him in the cafe later in Thirty-ninth street, Manhattan, was Miss Helen Ida Cramp. She admitted this recently. The letter she got was igned "Tour Uncle Dudley." Miss Cramp is not yet 20. Her family lives in Harrisburg. Miss Cramp de clares that Trustee Blackmore, who is 55 years old, married and a grandfather, takes only a sort of fatherly interest in her. She talked frankly about the dinner fire in one of the buildings of his great plant here and summoned the firemen in time to prevent what might have been a serious loss. The fire practically destroyed a building where the most valuable phonograph records were stored, but most of the' records, which were in a concrete vault, were saved. Mr. Edison, in his shirt sleeves, stood outside directing the firemen for some time before his wife and son, who ar rived from the Edison residence, could persuade him to put on an overcoat. The inventor was soaked to the skin. The building burned was the only one not touched by the conflagration which nearly wiped out the Edison plant last December. was Interrupted by the unexpected entry of Principal Isaac G. Miller, or uutten berg, and his daughter, a Barnard Col lege student. "It was simply an affair of business," she asserts. "I am alone here, 300 miles away from my relatives, and Mr. Blackmore was good and kind to me. I have been to his house and have met his wife and family. I accepted his invitation to dine with him in the Cafe Laloy in New York because that is near his place of em ployment. No, he didn't buy me any champagne, as some persons have in sinuated. It was an ordinary little table d'hote dinner and he talked about school to me, and 1 can't tell why all this fuss is being made." Trustee Bartholomew Brackett, friend of Principal Miller, obtained the "Hello Girlie" letter from Miss Cramp and read it to the board. He and the principal Insisted that Blaekmorc re sign. Blackmore offered to resign if there would be no publicity. The other trustees would not agree to that, so he says he will get a lawyer nd resist expulsion from ofHce. Mrs. Blackmore is standing by him. RINGS FOUND IN PEACHES Lost Jewel Drawn I'p on I'ork After Detectives' Search I'ails. BALTIMORE. Feb. 27.

Why Am I Offered This "Ground Floor" Opportunity Instead of the Wealthy Capitalist? This question has been asked our representatives. There are many reasons why it is better to have many small investors instead of a few very large. We might say here, however, that a few wealthy men are shareholders with us. Also that there has never been any promotion stock issued. Every share subscribed has been oris being paid for. The capitalist has opportunity thrust upon him. He is offered splendid propositions without number.'' Unfortunately many times he is presented with stock in enterprises simply to secure his name upon the books. Just the fact that he has money brings him money. That it tarkes money to make money is the fundamental back of The Oregon Home Builders. But it is far more satisfactory to have a large number of shareholders than a few who could control and manipulate stock. The greatest organi "zations and the greatest successes in the world have been built upon this basis. Some institutions have tens of thousands of shareholders. 10,000 shares is all one person "can own in this enterprise. That is only $3600 (at present' price). It protects the small investor. This elimination of Jhe control feature is not pleasing to the capitalist. It makes him share both earnings and power with small .investor. It isn't that The Oregon Home Builders does not offer a safe investment and good return that keeps the capitalist from crowding in. It is that he can use his , own money (and yours if you will loan it at small interest) .and earn original profits without letting you in. It takes volume, and by investing with us your money has as large earning power as the largest capitalist. Investigate our Home Building, Architectural, Plan, and other profit . sourees. THE OREGON HOME BUILDERS, Northwestern Bank Bldg. Oliver K. Jeffery, Pres. NOTE Owing to an error yesterday, shares were quoted 10,000 for $2600, instead of $3600. Shares are 36c each. .
