NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS I ; . : Heilig. BT LEONE CASS BAER. BLESSED are the- unimaginative, for they shall see no evil. To the Heilig last evening came another farce. This one is called "She Walked in Her Sleep." It is m's called. Because. If she had merely walked and continued walking In her slumbers the story never could have happened. As far as that point is concerned it never could have hap pened anyway. The point is that she did not keep on walking, but paused and loitered along the way. The way led from her suite of rooms, which she occupied with her father in a big residential hotel, to another suite on the same floor occupied by a pair of honey mooners. The lady honeymooner had a mother In the same hotel, on an other floor, and her brother (the honeymooner's young brother) had rooms adjoining mother's. Also domiciled in the hostelry on some other floor were Maudie and Bill, who were friends of the honey mooners. Maudie and Bill had a 90-10 domestic basis, with Bill as the 10 per cent. Big enough in bulk to oblit erate the entire hotel menage, includ ing Maudie, who was no sylph, poor old . Bill jumped through rhen ,she commanded." played dead or sat up and begged. Being of a suspicious nature herself Maudie extended her activi ties and spread the propaganda of wifely suspicion to Mrs. Honeymoon er, whose addled little head was fer tile Boil for just such Ideas. When the fair sleep-walker walked along a balustrade outside the hotel and flitted Into Mister Honeymooner's apartments she was unluckily enough treading In the wake of a domestic upheaval in which Mrs. Honeymooner had demanded the details of an evening away from home, and, denied the details, had rushed to mother's rooms. To make a real story the details of the said evening-away-from-home were perfectly proper, but they had to do with a business venture to which he and Bill had sworn secrecy. The third partner In the business ven ture was the father of the sleep-walking siren. To make it more compli cated the somnambulist's fiance was Mrs. Honeymooner s brother. Now that you have been given this much you can probably figure out some of ii yourself. JNo one knew the identity of -the sleep walker save a fat-headed young doctor who had been sworn to secrecy by her father. Everyone was under a cloud of suspicion. Even the unso phisticated Mamie Cassidy. one of the maids, is dragged protestingly Into the limelight of suspicion." Her con fusion of what she ought to tell and what she ought not to tell kept the audience in hilarity. . Of course, the Identity of the fair sleep walker is re vealed in a climacteric moment. The company has been selected carefully to fit the types. Of them all, Paul Nicholson's role of Bill is most memorable. His ability to ex press quiet, almost sotto voce com ment and his fine shadings of voice took away all semblance of acting from the role. His pantomime, vtoo, proved delightful the sudden uplift ing of an eyebrow, a rolling of his expressive eyes, or a bit of assumed playfulness in a tight moment seemed all the funnier by reason of his 6- POSITIONS ARE OFFERED BAKERS, 1CMBERME.V WILL AID EX-SERVICE MEX. Portland " Employers ' Meet With Committee of Chamber of Com merce to Outline Plans. 'Of every ten positions we have. one Is open to an ex-service man, was the response of Portland lumber men and bakers when the Chamber of Commerce employment organization appealed to all Industries to find places for ex-service men. The lum bermen and master bakers were the first . to . respond to the call, every lumberman in Portland sending In a pledge card, while more than half of the master bakers have done like wise. The added impetus to the movement to find work for soldiers came at a noon meeting at the Chamber of Com merce when Mayor Baker and 150 businessmen of Portland, employers from every industry, gathered to for mulate a plan to relieve the employ ment situation. The meeting was opened by J. C. English, acting chair man of the Chamber of Commerce employment bureau, who briefly out lined the purpose of the meeting. Mayor Baker then spoke in emphasis of the need of action in behalf of the unemployed veterans. E. D. Kingsley, chairman of the committee, explained the plan which the committee followed.

The suit of the North Bend Lumber company to recover $400,000 for alleged damagfls to mills of the company, said to have been caused by floods resulting from the leakage of a city reservoir in Cedar river watershed, is expected to go to the jury some time Friday. Trial began December 1. The plaintiff is seeking recovery on the theory that the north bank of the reservoir back ' of the city's Cedar river dam leaked and caused floods which. In December, 1918, destroyed lumber mills on Boxley creek. The city, denying defects In the reservoir, contends the floods were from natural causes rains and melting snows. The trial brought out a mass of expert tes timony on both sides. The charts, maps, reports and plastic engineering models introduced in evidence were numerous.

Foster of Portland as the new superintendent of the Los Angeles city schools to day in epite of the previous state ment of more than one member of the board that it would do so. Instead, the newspapers of the city which have quoted various of the board members on the subject were warmly criticised by members D. K. Edwards and Melville Dozler, for the matter published.

Gorden of Portland, who made a declaration through the press in San Francisco last Tuesday that he would soon start out on a flight around the world by airplane, has never made a flight, according to ths belief expressed yesterday by O. K Jeffery of the Oregon, Washington & Idaho Airplane company.

"There are only four of these ma chines In existence, and they are owned by the United States govern ment." said Mr. Jeffery.
