One hundred per cent perfection in anything is absolutely remarkable, but it is the 100 per cent perfect 3-year-old child that Paramount have utilized in their Pictographs, in their campaign for "better babies," showing, how. the mother should weigli and measure the babe, the method of which is the best index of the. child's health. The ch'ild with the 100 per cent per fection record is Eileen Geraghty, of New Tork, perfect in all of her features and who' pulled down a perfect score in a physical contest. She weighs and measures exattly 100 points in the standard set for a child of 3 years of age, the method of doing which is' so cleverly picturized in the Pictographs that it Is proving.to be one of the best bits of education mothers have ever received relative to the importance of the nature and care of children.

'Ginger Mitchell, as she is familiarly known to her many friends, won her spurs in the picture game with Thomas Ince, and is an abiding favorite with Mutual audiences. I They gay at Universal City that Jack Warren Kerrigan surpassed himself in 'Son 'of the Immortals," and that the feature is a splendid one in every way. It is to be hoped that this really fine. manly actor will be seen in as good photoplaysas this from now on, as he is too excellent an artist to be wasted on two and three-act plays. Good guessers are invited to com pete in determining Hughle Mack's weight since he undertook to reduce. Hughie got hold of a book teeing how to take off superfluous flesh, and he strenuously followed the maximum set forth.

The Commission has advised Port land shippers and the traffic buraau of the Portland Chamber of Commerce that both arguments and testimony will be heard at this time. It Is prob able that J. N. Teal, traffic attorney for the Chamber, will represent Port land and the Puget Sound cities at the hearing. If any testimony is intro duced by the local people it doubtless will be presented by deposition. The Spokane people are asking that the Commission's former ruling in the Spokane rate case be set aside and the differential in rates in favor of the Coast terminals that now exists be removed. Under the C6mmission's former rul ing the Coast cities are permitted a lower rate than Spokane oni transcon tinental shipments, but certain fixed ratios are prescribed, depending on the distance the traffic is carried, the per centage increasing with distance. The- theory on which this preferen tial rate was granted to the Coast cities is that the carriers were com pelled to charge less to the Coast than to Spokane to meet water competition. Spokane asserts that water corapetl tiort does not exist at Portland or Puget Sound now; that the Panama Canal is closed and that the vessels ordinarily engaged in the coast-to-coast traffic are being used in the trans Atlantio service. Portland probably will depend upon the Interstate Commerce code itself In protesting against Spokane's request. The code provides that when rates are once reduced to meet water competi- tion they shall not be restored unless for some other reason than the disap pearance of the water competition. As the Spokane case is based solely o the alleged disappearance of water competitio'a, the Portland people expect Spokane to lose its case. TRIBUTE PAID STEVENS PES jf fell. VATllA.' . .

Oil paintings that are excellent ex amples of the modern tendency In art are on exhibition in the Portland Art Museum, Fifth and Taylor streets. The exhibit was a part of the art dis play at the San Diego Exposition and it embraces tile Work of several promi nent New York artists whose names are well known to all art critics and stu dents.

An "Irish Lass" and two Indians are among the gems of gorgeous coloring. Childe Hassam has a lovely study, "The Beryl Gorge," which shows a rocky pass through which is seen the sparkling ocean. A nude figure is in troduced. Childe Hauam Shows Gem. "A Squall, Cape Anne," ts another Childe Hassam gem. Guy Pene du Bois, a young artist of 32 years, has several unusual paint ings. "Twentieth Century Young Ladies" seems to be an Interesting satire. "The Doll and the Monster," "Sporting Life" and "The Dancer" are by the same man. - Sunshine, the wind, the sea and the rocks seem to appear as in reality in "Brace's Cove, Gloucester," by John Sloan. "Sunday, Girls Drying Hair," on a roof in New York City is a characteristic study. The awe of the great city seems to find expression in George Bellows' "Ap proach to the Bridge." The hurry and turmoil of New York and the life on the docks is shown in other pictures by the same artist. Ernest Lanwa'a Work Admired. Ernett Lawpon's "Cloud Shadows" is a large, colorful picture, pleasing in its interpretaton of the country. The picture is one that compels attention. An unusual picture is Carl Spln chorn's "Gods at Play," which probably will need an -'interpreter to . those unitiated in modern art. , Life and typical features in and about New York are found in William Glackens' studies. His "Cape Cod The Smallest Ad. $ WALKER 'The Melting: Pot' ETHEL 'The Gamblers' Two Sho ws in One All This Week 15c ANY Frank: Daniels Comedy Shore" will appeftl to all who have known and loved the out of doors.
