HERE'E A BUNCH OF PORTLAND'S EMBRYO JURISTS, INVENTORS AND BLACKSMITHS POSSIBILITIES ARE LEGION Policeman, Philosopher. Engineer or Bolshevist Are Some Ca reers They May Adopt. Questions of the utmost importance are waiting to be solved at Good Samaritan hospital, where at least a dozen small babies are preparing for their first activities in a world to whic h they have only recently come. Doctors, nurses, attendants, and even .Miss Loveridge. hospital superintend ent, whose experience with the very young has been considerable, express themsclvs as uniformly perplexed re garding the careers and the great works which this set of new arrivals may be contemplating. As first seen, eight of the babies, ranged in a double row. seemed to represent a squad. Number four man in the front row was evidently in authority and the others, as one says in t lie army, were "dressed" on him. in case military organization were contemplated, he would be eligible for the rank of corporal. According to one of the nurses in " charge there is no question but that the babies now entering the world will make a greater success, of its affais and enterprises than those now In charge. Jreat records have been established by many famous prede cessors, however, and she cited the enses of .Noah, Columbus, Balboa and Henry Hudson to show that many deeds of former babies will of neces sity probably have to remain un matched. "Voyages and explorations are only one sinail field of endeavor and many things remain to be accomplished," .-he aid. "As the world becomes pop ulated by civilized races other great hemes must he born to furnish them comfort and inspiration and we are constantly looking for promises of a new Kdison, a Stcinmetz or a Marconi, to mention only one type. There is great demand for many kinds of spe cialists and they are exceedingly jare. It is conservative to estimaie that of the number born here during the past few years, at least one will become a policeman. Thus we act as a stabilizing influence on society. "The verv young child here with his loe in his mouth has succeeded in a highly praiseworthy engineering feat for which he has been laying plans ever since his arrival. He may later succeed in pulling off one of his socks. Should bis development be normal and uninterrupted he may become another f.octhals. The build ing of a skyscraper, a canal or a sus pension bridge by a grown person is no more difficult or admirable. "The incoherent babblings of this other young individual are prepara tory to orations of widespread Impor tance which he may likely deliver. Jiemosthenes began in this same way. The cooing you hear on the other side may be the first efforts of a John Mc'ormack, whom we may come to appreciate very highly. "Une of tho children has done noth ing so far. He pays no attention to his surroundings, but seems to be thinking deeply. He may become a philosopher. i "It is not altogether impossible that same child shall arrive here from time to time who contemplates, as his prin cipal purpose, the commission of a great crime. There may be a future Lenine in the group, or a Trotzky with a wish to make trouble. The others must be prepared, if this be the case, to. divert them in their in tent. "Babies who kick off the coverlets are not always perverse for they usually adopt .some such inadvisable means of taking their exercise. They have been reproved at times, but this tines little good. Proper treatment of babies requires a great deal ot tolerance." ' 8 V7l f .-Jf - ( t f i I - - A - i . - "s H - ; it I ' ' VIEW OF GOOD SAMARITAN BABY WARD. NEW BILLS.

Substitution of Inventory Basis Will Avoid Difficulty, Says Corral I is Professor. ORKGO.V AGRICULTURAL COL LKGlf, Corvallis, Feb.. 29. (Special.) Heavy losses by payment of excess income tax were borne by Oregon farmers last year DUt may be avoided this year by substitution of the In venterj basis for the cash income and disbursement basis as nineout of tea reported last year, says I V. ttUun, of the college farm manage ment department. Reporting on the inventory basis pivides against doubling two years' income Into one year. . Jf crops, live stock or other markerable commodity are 'held over into the second year in large quantities very lityc net jncome or none at all .wilU be . reported the first year but a very large one tho second. Because of the graduated fea tures of the income tax laws it is very much more expensive to pay the taxes on any sum every other year than to pay on half the sum every year. Tho inventory plan as no- approved by the federal treasury department allows the farmer to use the farm, value of livestock and grain, says Mr. Gunn. This does not mean that the, farmer must know the exact cost of producing a bushel of grain or of raising an animal, but it does mean that he must keep records and ac counts, which is a practice Mr. Gunn thinks he should follow anyway. ident and will continue in charge of western headquarters in Tacoma.

In a Tacoma theater las night the pianist was striking a weird chord while the hero planted a kis tun on the lips or the ranchman s daughter. The villian, gun poised, crawled from behind a rock. He "snuck up" according to the pianist report. He aimed. Suddenly a shot tang out and the few dozen patrons crouched as a bullet whistled ove their heads, struck the piano an broke a string. Women scream, me dashed for the exits. Jiere is the report made 15 minutes later by Patrolman Filkins: "An un known man entered the Shell theate and stood in he back watching th show.

T'S a case of pay your money and take your choice on the new bill at the Orpheum, for while Emma Carus . is the accredited and estab lished headliner there are others who win quite as much applause and en tertain just as happily. Miss Carus' golden smile and golden hair are undimmed, and she has ac quired a bit more avoirdupois and a new partner. The latter is named Walter no, it's J. Walter Leopold, and he plays the piano while Miss Carus sings. After a flattering pleasantry in two verses about being so glad to be in this dear city, which applies equally well to Port land, Kankakee or Emporia. Kan. Miss Carus dashes into a series of new song ideas, all of which are quite clever and which she and J. Walter wrote. Of these, the best liked is a gay little ditty about an Indian maid named Laughing Water, who was wooed and won in a veree and chorus set to merry, ha-has. Mr. Leopold's musical interpretation of the laughter song is a gem in itself and Miss Carus is at her best in its singing. "My Wedding Day" proved another lik able number, with Mr. Leopold sing ing a serious and sweet ballad about his girl and their wedding day, while the lively Carus pranced along be side him and jibed his ambitions. poked fun at his ideals and toppled his castle generally. It is a clever and unique song episode and made a capital closing number. Others in cluded "Oh, How She Can Dance" and an Irish character song, in which type of song Miss Carus is inimitably funny and always scores. Just- to demonstrate that age can not bother nor avoirdupois stale her infinite variety Miss Carus goes through a series of back bends and acrobatic maneuvers in dance that are graceful and worth mentioning. I would not be surprised to see her turn handsprings. There's a com araderie about Miss Carus' act, a friendliness that is apparent, and she has a flock of smart little tricks. Ed Morton made an individual hit with his pleasant singing of plain songa: Ed is no Caruso and doesn't pretend to be one, and he probably doesn't spend much time worrying about technique, which is the entire plot of some voices. Ed just comes out and sings and you can hear every blessed word he says. He doesn t say "yahs" for "years," and he dots his i's and crosses his t's so you know what he's singing. That is worth column alone. Added to this his songs are new and timely. One, "The Profiteering Blues," was a riot, i clever adaptation ot present-day con dltions to old-time' tunes. Another, "Give the Public What It Wants,' provoked a sensation in its laying of blame at our doors. To prove his point Ed sung a sweet old chorus, calling attention to its plot and har mony and sense and then sang an "oo-la-la" mess of today, gyrating about, flipping his coattails, shrieking and gesticulating and in truth typify ing the modern-day balladist. '"Caught in the Jamb" is a smart, diverting turn offered by a serious pair.'Florcnz Ames and his chic little partner, Adelaide Winthrop. Adelaide comes out of her cottage door in a hurry and catches her dress skirt in the door as it closes. While she is tugging frantically to release herself along saunters Florenz. Hostilities immediately begin, but Florenz final ly negotiates overtures and rushe away to fetch a dress, while Adelaide squirms, out of the one in the door. It's a wedding dress Florenz brings and in it Adelaide becomes an exact- ng'.bride. They warble, in operatic air, a duet of dissatisfaction which for novelty of idea and good fun is incomparable. Then they travestv a classic dance with disastrous mo ments and" leave their audience limp with, laughter. As an encore they present a keen dialogue between an Indian swain and his maiden. 'with bit of good dancing just to show they do have serious moments. Florenz and Adelaide both display an unusual originality and a certain mental equipment which delights. The Jack Hughes pair. Mister and Missus, I guess, opened the bill and got so' many recalls I wondered if the rest of the show need go on at all. The Hughes play saxophones, banjos and cornets and Jack fiddles delight fully while Mrs. Jack, changes her dress. They've a capital offering, pleasingly tuneful and backed with musical understanding. Another Jack in the deck, also with queen no two queens is Jack Keniufcly, wtoo is a pleasant comedian and is the center of activities in a farce-comedy sketch called "A Golf Proposal," which has interesting mo ments. An artistic act is offered by Mile. Rhea, a dainty toe dancer, and her two partners, Joseph Mack Jr., a talented violinist and a vocalist, Jack Cook. Of their offering a Valentine picture and dance is memorable. Marino and Maiey in an Italian dia- ect act are also on the bill. P. S. TVis show closes with the Wednesday matinee. 2 s Baker. . ., BY LEONE CASS BAER. ROMANTIC fancy rather thgn mod ern realism is having its hour at the Baker in the presentation of "The Willow Tree," a pretty story de veloped in the flowery kingdom where life seems not real, nor earnest, but lovely, quite fantastic and of illusions. Wrhile the theatrical handiwork is recognized and one is highly cogni zant of the actualities in scenery, lighting and pictorial effects that Walter Gilbert has brought about, the effect is quite apart from the usual things of the theater, away from the inevitables in theatricals. Whether or not the story Js typical of Japanese beliefs and life as it Is lived with them, is a subject this re view will not discuss. All that we shall concern ourselves with is that In its romance and sentiment and the conveyance of color and charm, "The Willow Tree" adheres closely to the story-book traditions easterners hold of the Japanese. As a basis for the story the authors have taken the an cient legend of the Japanese hero who, wearying of his native soil, seeks exile in a foreign land, and to while away his hours carves an image of his ideal. He is mystic and imagi native and when the image comes to life he lives with her in rapturous ecstasy until his emperor bids him return to Japan. His choice' between love and duty is a conflict which ends in his voyage home, The .playwrights have modernized this legend and have made the hero an Englishman who goes to Japan to forget an unsuccessful love affair. He lives in solitude in a picturesque old garden, and one day buys a carved image from anv old wood carver. Dreaming of lost happiness, he spends hours with the image and one day it comes to life. In the lure of her pres ence he forgets the English girl until one day she comes to the garden where in charm and fantasy he and the Japanese girl live. The efforts of the English maid to win Jiim baclf t are met with a finely poetic array of F refusals. Then comes news of the beginning or the worm war anu, like the hero in the legend, the English man chooses between love and duty. Just as the heroine In the legend had bade her hero sacrifice love for duty. so does the modern Japanese image have the willow tree in her garden, whose spirit she represents, cut down and so sacrifices her own mortal ex istence. The production has charm and sen timcnt, and the play is staged with a view to taking every advantage of the picturesque environment of Japan. Flowers bloom everywhere, temple bells ring, butterflies float in the wake of the image-girl and love-birds sing, The dialogue is a mixture of plati tudes and a flue blending of that naive philosophy and cynical thought we are wont to associate with the Japanese. The Baker players give an admirable performance. Vcrna Fc ton in the role of the image-girl plays with engaging charm, and conveys skillfully and sympathetically the moods of the unsophisticated Japanese maid. Miss Felton proves her re sourcefulness and versatility by doubling as the proud and self-con scious English girl. Emmanuel Turner gives a distin guished portrayal of the poetic young Englishman, in appearance and act ing adding the necessary romantic glamour. George Taylor contributes a splendid study as the old wood carver, and V, niiam i.ee as ins moocm son cives a delightfully humorous portrayal. Claire Sinclair adroitly claims attention in a pathetic role as a blind old street singer; George Web- ter is the dignified priest of the teni nle. and Irving Kennedy and i.ee Millar are in the action and most pic turesque as the servants of the little linage. John Fee as a cynical Eng- ishman adds a realistic role, anil ai tcr Carry as a quaint seller of birds completes the cast. The Ht.

S' Hippodrome. SESSUE HATAKAWA, in "The Tong Man," claims first place on the programme at the Hippodrome the ater this week. The scenes of the pic ture are laid in San Francisco's Chinatown, with all the atmosphere of gambling joints and opium dens; and the action, which centers about the star as the involuntary leader of a Tong war, is both swift and fascinating. Harry E. Brown and his beven Brownies in "The Syncopated School room," are all that their names imply. The act is full of a rather broad va- iety of comedy and several good mu sical numbers alio contribute to its success. Roberts and Fulton, billed as "A Singing and Talking Oddity,' come in for almost more than their share of laughs on the bill. An up- to-date Sis Hopkins with a conta gious sense of humor keeps the act at such a high rate of speed that her English companion is almost lost in the shiAfle, so to speak. Rialto and La Mont, styling them selves "The Talkative Boys," (talk being' conspicuous for its absence) do clever Juggling act quite out of tne ordinary. '.Their atunts with a couple of step ladders and two guitars suc ceed in giving the audience a number thrills, along with plenty ot laughs. Ted and Corine Breton pre sent "On the Boardwalk." a potpourri comedy, harp solos and snappy songs, together - witn an up-io-me-minote musical review comprising pretty nearly everything from grand opera to the jazz band. Cortelli and rtogers oner a skii en titled "Oh My Goweh,'" with an It alian fruit vendor as the central fig ure and chief laugh producer; and the Four Salores in tnelr trapeze act have a hair-raising climax culled the Daredevil Whirl" that Is well worth seeing. PECULATOR with his partners money, waiter in a bankrupt restaurant, millionaire papa to dashing young woman he had never seen before these are only a few of the startling events in the career of Mike as played by Ben T. Dillon in the musical comedy attraction "Two Old Sports" which opened yesterday at the Lyric theater. Nor is Ike, played by Al Franks, at all behind his partner in advertures. for he manages to become engaged to a "sweet young thing" after the woman in question has had enough punch to be willing to consent to his advances. The comedy is full of surprises. When Mike wants a new suit of clothes he gets out his old revolver and compels one of the guests of the hotel to disrobe for his benefit. .The climax to the comedy comes when the English lord who has been "cutting such a dash" amons tne "swells discovered to be merely a clerk in a department store. t Sale of 75 Suits Taken From Our Regular Stock and Reduced to 34?J2 These suits are in just the styles that .young1 men want for present, spring and early summer wear.
