The only precinct from which com plete returns were not available last night was Precinct 48. at 706 Wash ington street. Contrary to the specific Instructions f City Auditor Barbur, the night elec tion board at this precinct quit count ing and locked up the ballots when men began coming In to be registered inder War Census day requirements yesterday morning. At all the other precincts the count ing proceeded without interfering with the registration of men of military esre. But the votes in Precinct 48 were locked up. The count was not resumed again until 8:30 o'clock last night. Consequently, the returns were miss ing when final tabulations were made last night. As there are 485 registered voters in this precinct and the vote was fairly heavy, the. missing figures may affect the .tight race for Commis sioner between John M. Mann and Dan Kellaher. So far as the race for Mayor Is con cerned, the only effect 'rlll be to In crease Mr. Baker's lead to probably about 1500, as the precinct Is-conceded to be a Baker stronghold. Barbnr'a Total 27,431. The vote on the four highest candi dates for Commissioner follows: Barbur First choice 19,790, second 8712, third 1929; total, 27,431.

Measures lost include the two-platoon Bystem, the free-streets-for-Jit-neys measure, the telephone inter change measure, the $75,000 garbage collection bond measure and the two anti-commission charter amendments. Jitney Exprenslon Emphatic - t - The" voters expressed themselves most emphatically on the jitney ques tion, and their verdict was for Jitney regulation. The free-streets-for-jitneys measure was buried in negative votes, while the measure requiring a $2500 bond of all Jitneys to protect their passengers in case of accident carried heavily. On the other hand, the four measures granting franchises to the Portland Trackless Car Company, which applied to the City Council for franchises to operate jitneys under regulation, were carried by large votes. By their votes on these questions the voters . demonstrated beyond ques tion that they discriminated very nicely between the Issues involved. Fears expressed before the election that the Jitney franchise measures PROBABLE VICTOR IV RACE FOR . COMMISSIONER. f -i - iV.

Strain lemon juice well before mixing and massage face, neck, arms, hand. "By all means, girls, prepare a lemon lotion to keep your skin flexible and young looking. Tou will soon realize that true loveliness does not mean the jowdery-look or waxen colorlessness of some hothouse flower, but is typi ' fled by the velvety softness of your ekln, your peach-like complexion and rosy-white hands. At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare .a full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautifler. by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle con taining three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice .through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in. then this lotion will keep fresh .for months. Every woman knows that lemon Juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, fiallowness and tan, - and is the ideal kln softener, smoothener and beauti fler. . Just try It! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra Kranl lotion and massage it daily Into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften, freshen and bring out the roses and hidden beauty of any skin. It is simply marvelous to smoothen rough, red hands. Adv. grounds, proceeds of which the first year are to be used to put a playground in Marquam Gulch, was passed by a big majority. ' Road Bonds Tote Heavy. The vote here for the S6, 000,000 road bonds issue was particularly heavy in Portland and Multnomah County. In eluding the county vote, with returns complete from 370 .precincts, the ma jority for the bonds is 18,452. A significant fact in connection with the Bean measure declaring the sover elgn right o fthe state of Oregon to tax the Oregon & California grant lands, was that although the measure had been barred from consideration by the bupreme Court by reason of a tech nicality in the vote in the Legislature submitting it to the people, many per sons voted for It in Portland. The votes in favor outnumbered those op posing the bill. It had been printed on the ballot before the Supreme Court decision, though of course the votes on it will have no official status. Public Concern Demonstrated. - The fact that even so the people were anxious to register their votes in favor of having the state declare its sover eign right to tax the lands, against the contention or me Government, which would withhold them from taxation and probably eventually will bottle them up in a resrve, emphasises strain the discriminating taste of those who voted in yesterday's election in Port land. The following table of returns shows the vote complete In Portland for 343 out of 344 precincts, and on state meas ures voted on in the county outside of Portland as well as in the city, com plete from 870 out of 875 precincts.

WASHINGTON, June 5. Regular Ar my recruiting established a new dally record yesterday, when 4201 men were obtained as against an average daily figure of 1500 since April 1. The day's rtsults brings the total of war volunteers enlisted for the regu lars since Ap.-il 1 up to 101,493. leaving less than 83,000 men to be obtained to fill the Army to full authorized war strength of approximately 300.000. Incomplete recruiting returns for the National Guard during the last ten days of May show a substantial gain. particularly among regiments not In the Federal service. A net Increase of 15.000 to 20.000 men is indicated. In this period California showed a gain in enlisted strength from 1S67 to 2S30. On this showing ' the aggregate strength of the National Guard should be close to 200,000 men. leaving only about 130,000 to be recruited to put all existing regiments on a war footing. At the present rate virtually all of the regiments would reach full strength by the time they are drafted into the Federal armies in July and August. Practically every state is making progress toward the organisation of the authorised units of the Guard. CLERKS POOL FOOD ORDERS Chicago Employes Find Way to Kc- duce Costs. CHICAGO, May 31. A wallop has been landed on the high cost of liv ing by city hall employes. George W. Bassett, secretary of the department of public works. Instituted a plan of co-operative buying among the E4 employes of his office. In a let ter he offered to buy food for all of them at wholesale prices and save be tween $1700 and $2000 a month. Mr. Bassett has made arrangements with six wholesale houses who are boosting the idea of community buy ing. In his letter urging the employes to pool their purchasing Bassett ex plained that each day he would post on the bulletin board at the city hall a list of wholesale prices on various articles aa compared with retail quo tations. "For example," says the letter. "A well-known brand of coffee sold In cans and retailing at 39 cents a pound I can get for you at 28 cents. Eighty cent English- breakfast tea I can get for 48 cents. Ninety-cent tea I can get for 50 cents. A 75-cent tin box of graham or soda crackers can be bought for 53 cents. Within a day or so I will have the prices on hams and bacon.

Tex.. May 31. The Legisla ture has authorized the sale of the state Iron industry, operated for a number of years by the penitentiary system. The property consists of a large acre age of iron ore beds in East Texas, a blast furnace, oast iron plant and foundry situated at Rusk. Whoever takes over the property must rehabilitate the Industry and en large it. To enforce this the purchaser shall give bond to the state In the sum of $100,000. George W. Armstrong. of Dallas, and associates plan to pur chase these holdings, and it was in their Interest that the resolution was adopted. The state's iron Industry has never I brought profitable returns. It was es-1 tablmhed many years ago and baa been operated intermitently ever since. From time to timethe Legislature was called on to make appropriations to cover losses sustained by the Industry, and all told the operation of the Iron plants has cost the people of Texas in excess of 11,000,000.

While ordinary types of motors lose their original effectiveness with use the Willys-Knightgainsin power, flexibility and smoothness. This is not advanced as an engineer ing theory but as a proven, fact More than 12,000 owners who bought Willys-Knight cars last year would' be glad to tell you so and tell you so enthusiastically. Let us put you in touch with a few of them. Carbon, which Is" responsible for the undoing of ordinary motors, is utilized beneficially by the sleeve valve Willys-Knight motor. While other motors are periodically incapacitated because they must have valves ground and carbon removed, the Willys-Knight motor improves with use and is sustained at top efficiency because carbon is its recon structing life.
