ALEXANDER'S HEILIG
AUDIENCES AfiZED
Mystic Who Does Things That
Can't Be Explained Makes
Big Hit.
ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Wives, Sweethearts, Anybody WIio
Wants to Know Anything Merely
Has to Ask Man Who Seems .
to Know.
BT LEONE CASS BAER.
At last the inevitable Beatrice Fair
fax has received a black eye. Dimmed
is her 'scutcheon and negative her
once far-reaching power. Not that
Beatrice has failed on the Job. but an
other bigger, stronger and more ver
satile has come upon us.
Where Beatrice was a private in the
ranks, Alexander is a generalissimo.
Where Beatrice and .the great sister
hood of information givers confine
themselves mostly to problems com
mon to all mankind, Alexander gives
consideration to individual needs.
He doesn't give a tedious lecture to
collective wives who want to know
where their collective husbands are,
but he goes out in his audience, grabs
a thought out of the atmosphere and
tells an individual wife where her in
dividual husband is. Whatever you
want to know with faith enough to ask,
Alexander has the answer.
AnsTrerjt Are Hopeful.
He is the gay Doctor Munyon of
psychic phenomena. "There is hope"
In 90 per cent of his answers. He lo
cates mines and straying fiancees, he
tells of situations to be lost or secured,
he tells you what you're fitted for and
plants a seed of self-help in all his
answers.
He tells you your name, age, previous
condition of servitude and "if you're
going to marry the girl you're going
with."
Last night Alexander and a band of
Orientalish maidens and men opened a
week's engagement at the Heilig. He
packed the theater to its walls, and
I'll wager he does it every night.
Mainly because Alexander knows pos
sibly no one better than he the weak
spots in the armor of us humans.
First, we all dearly love to be fooled
and tricked and allow our senses to
cheat us just so we can explain to
our neighbor how it's all done.
Pretty Maid Floats In Air.
We want to see him send a pretty
girl floating through space, to watch
the rabbits come out of a small boy's
ear, to see him catch wiggling live fish
out of the air. and nail the girl in a
box, only to have her come chasing
down the aiale while the box disappears
forever. It is all fascinating fun.
Alexander turns water into wine, ap
parently, and we grasp at remnants of
our study of chemistry, ready to ex
plain it all to our neighbor. But by the
time an excited "Oh, I see how that
was done" is half spoken, Alexander
has pulled some miracle that leaves
us with our eyes popping and mouths
agape.
There are many men of magic, and
telepathists. but they are students
where Alexander is a master.
Another weak spot in all of us that
makes us flock to Alexander is our
perpetual hope of perceiving the veil
of the future. We want a "tip" on
what's going to befall. Alexander
seems to have a corner on information.
Spiritualism la Disclaimed.
In a foot note on his programme he
cays that he wants it distinctly under
stood that he does not attribute his
power of answering questions to spirit
ualism, or the supernatural in any way,
but to a keen training and development
of the mind. And that's what his en
tire art consists of.
All he does is polished and accom
panied by a continual flow of fascinat
ing patter. He has personality, plus,
and a fine sense of comedy, which is
ever on the Job.
Alexander's entertainment is a long
evening full. The first half consists
of illusions, magic maneuverings and
delightful experiments in legerdemain.
After an intermission Alexander dons
Oriental garb and becomes a psychic,
going among his audience and giving a
feast of phenomena. Frequent applause
interrupts his experiments in telep
athy.
Alexander is going to stay one en
tire week. On Friday he will give a
matinee for women only and on Satur
day a general matinee.
Better ask Alexander.

American flag was raised, each man and

the foundation of the pole to insure
its security. A pennant with, the
words "Yeon Peak" written upon it
was also raised. The ceremonies con
cluded with the singing of the "Star

The Mazamas left Saturday night on
the O.-W. R. & N. train and arrived
at Warrendale at 7:45 P. M. With
their paraphernalia on their backs
they climbed to a bench of rock 1000
feet above the Columbia River and
there camped for the night..
At 6 A. M. they left for the sum
mit of the peak and arrived shortly
before noon. The bed of McCord
Creek, that crosses the Columbia River
Highway under a high reinforced con

two miles. The climb was extremely
tedious, according to those who made It.

was T. R. Conway.

episodes and scenic dlvertlsements.
Rena Vivlenne is certainly a favorite.
So is saucy Myrtle DeLoy, and one by

For instance, there's Frank Harring

applause the second he comes forward
to contribute his song specialty. In
this new bill, "So Long Betty," he ap
pears as a dashing, devilish Italian
Count.

HILL TO OPEN TODAY
MILITARY ACADEMY TO BEGIX ITS
SEVENTEENTH. YEAR.
Management and Educational Policy
Unchanged Rifle-Shooting; to Be
Added to Sndcnti' Work.
Hill's Military Academy will begin
its 17th year as an education institu
tion when it opens its doors for the
Fall term this morning at 9 o'clock.
From present indications there will be
a good enrollment.
The school will have the same man
agement as previously. The same pol
icy of high educational ideals and the
development of manly students will
prevail as heretofore, it was announced
last night by J. A. Hill, vice-principal
of the school. Dr. J. W. Hill will con
tinue as principal of the school. Pro
fessor Leroy B. Peckham will be head
of the English department; Professor
John W. Daniels .will be head of the
language department, and Colonel F. E.
Patterson will continue to be head of
the mathematics and science depart
ments. It is probable that the school will
enter the National Rifle Association
this year, it was announced. In case
the move is taken each student will be
required to do some shooting as a part
of his course. This will, it is expected,
become a popular department of the
school work.
Quick Now, Do You Know
Who Wrote 'America.'?
Elevator Boti In Oregon Building
Want to Know, But No Passenger
Can Tell.
ELEVATOR operators in the Oregon
building have discovered that the
average American is lacking in funda
mental knowledge of American history
and tradition. They have been trying
to find out who wrote "America," and
not one of the men or women ap
proached has been able to tell.
The question of who wrote the Amer
ican National anthem was raised first
among the stenographers at the Cham
ber of Commerce. Questioning among
tne Chamber employes was without re
sult. The elevator boys took up the
query and asked almost every man who
entered any of the cars. The effect
on the person questioned was invaria
bly the same. A moment of deep
thought, then the invariable "I don't
know," said with a certain degree of
sheeplshness.
"I've asked about 40 men and 1 don't
know yet who wrote, it," was the sad
faced expression of one of the elevator
operators. This was Saturday. He had
to go to American history to get his
information.
Can you tell who wrote "America"?

THIRD OREGON HOW
REMAINS INTACT
All Units Take Guard Oath,
Chaplain Gilbert Announces
at Camp Services.
REGIMENT HAS 875 MEN
Attitude of Some Citizens Towards
Returned Soldiers Is Bitterly
Arraigned Faithful Troops
Highly Praised.
vCAJIP WITHTCOMBE, Or., Sept. 17.
(Special.) In the official announce
ments at the church services this aft
ernoon. Chaplain Gilbert made the an
nouncement that in spite of defections
from the ranks through the disinclina
tion of some men to take the new Na
tional Guard oath, the regiment has
been saved intact without a missing
unit.
Out of 1053 enlisted men in camp who
were asked to take the oath, 875 have
taken it, the chaplain announced, and
he expressed the hope the coming week
would see additions to the ranks.
Companies G and M, which had for
some time been holding out, have been
retained as units. Out of 134 men in
Company M, 22 have taken the oath.
Company G, which, with only 44 men,
was the smallest company in the regi
ment, has come into the National Guard
with 37 me.
"I have no word of criticism to utter
against those who dil not take the
oath," said Chaplain Gilbert, "but I
have a tribute of honor and commenda
tion to bestow upon those whose sense
of patriotism was so high that it
prompted them to see the thing
through and stick by the colors until
the end."
Father E. V. O'Hara and Chaplain
Gilbert were the speakers on the
afternoon programme.
Citizens' Affront Scored.
Chaplain Gilbert bitterly arraigned
the attitude of some citizens toward
the returned soldiers, and cited in
stances of personal affronts that had
been offered as indicating that a cer
tain portion of citizens failed to appre
ciate the service the men were per
forming to their country, or the sacri
fices they were performing.
One officer was greeted by a lad
with an oath as "you tin soldier," he
said. He also cited an incident near
the Armory last week where a woman,
who was temporarily detained in her
automobile by the troops, snarled to
the officers that the had no right to
block her right-of-way.
A third incident cited was that of an
officer who had returned to his home
town for a visit.
"He was greeted by one of the young
men," said the chaplain, "with the
words. 'By George, yon didn't get me,'
as though it was to boast that he had
heard his country's call and had re
fused to answer it."
The chaplain took as his text. Acts
xii-42, "Is it lawful for you to scourge
a man that is a Roman and uncon-
demned?"
"It was not lawful to scourge a
Roman citizen," he said, "and ours it
was to teach the world that our citi-
cens could not be slain by bandits or
robbers. We were called into the serv
ice, that we might as a Nation, express
our purpose to protect American citi
zenship It was our part to teach the
lesson that the American citizen should
be honored and revered the world over.
Service Cpnsclousneu Needed.
"What this country needs is a new
consciousness of surrender of service
to our country."
Chaplain Gilbert mentioned that it
probably would be the last Sunday he
would be able to be with the regiment,
as he had obtained leave from his Colo
nel to resume his pastorate in Astoria,
where work was demanding his atten
tion. He spoke a word of parting and said:
"It was ours to have borne sacrifices
together in the welding of a friendship
that will endure."
Father O'Hara spoke of obedience to
God as the basis of citizenship. "We
can't be good Christians unless we are
good citizens, and that means unless we
have respect for civil authorities," he
said.
"If we are to make the American
name respected as the Roman name was
respected In years gone by, it will be
by respect on our own part for law and
authority. Obedience to authority is
the foundation of National greatness.
He spoke of the duties of citizens to
ward their fellow citizens as the very
best test of their citizenship and their
religion.
