GAS HEARING IS SET
ice-presidents of the league. The
exact date for the meeting for the or
ganization will be set when a reply Is
received from Mr. Skinner.
The committee on organization,
which was appointed at a meeting
held In the Publio Library about a
month ago, consists of Or. C H. Chap
man, John Keating, Mrs. James B.
Kerr, Mrs. W. I- Brewster and Miss
Gretta Wasserman.
The purpose of the Drama League Is
to crowd out vicious plays from the
stage by supporting the productions
of the better quality and to build up
interest and support for meritorious
plays by the organization of Btudy
classes. The league, which has head
quarters at Chicago; issues bulletins
as soon as an important play appears
there and furnishes courses and out
lines of study to all the branches. A
Junior department is also conducted
for the education of children.
An effort will be made to bring out
as large an attendance as possible at
the organization meeting in the Li
brary this week, so that the movement
In Portland may be launched under the
best possible auspices.

What is a cubic foot of gas?
Every gas user in Portland knows
' that 1000 cubic feet of gas cost $1 when
burned through a. meter.
This price. and even more has been
paid ever since gras first was served
in Portland, but the Oregon State Rail,
road Commission says now that the
people don't know what they have
been paying- for.
The commission does not Intend to
imply that the people have not been
petting: gaa when they were paying: for
gas. nor that they didn't get a cubic
foot when the meter measured a cubio
foot.
But everyone knows that gas varies
greatly with temperature, barometric
pressure and other conditions of nature,
and the commission now will attempt
to fix the standard condition under
which a cubic foot of pas truly will
be a cubic foot-of gras with due allow
ance for variation from the fixed stan
dard. Standards to Be Sought.
The commission will conduct a hear
ing in Portland Friday, January 16,
when it will seek to prescribe standards
for measurement of the quality, pres
sure. Initial voltage and other condi
tions pertaining to the supply and serv.
ice of all public utility companies op
erating In Oregon.
Work on this plan has been under
way for five or six months In accord
ance with the provisions of the Ma
lar k ey public utility act. Tentative
drafts of the rules and regulations
under which the commission proposes
to operate have been submitted to all
the interested corporations. They have
been invited to attend the hearing. It
Is probable that some of them will offer
more or less opposition.
So important is this conference con
sidered by officials in other parts of
the country that R. S. McBride, chem
ist for the Federal Bureau of Stand
ards at Washington, D. C, has ar
ranged to attend. He will arrive In
Portland early next week and will re
main until after the conference.
Among other provisions of the pro
posed code is one for testing meters.
Patrons of a public utility corporation
supplying their service through a meter
may request a test of their meters and
the utility company will be required to
make the test free of charge, but the
same meter shall not be tested oftener
than once In 12 months.
Deposits to Draw Interest.
The practice already inaugurated by
many concerns of paying interest on
deposits required of patrons to cover
the cost of a meter, is made compul
sory according to this plan. The In
terest rate is fixed at 6 per cent.
As a cubic foot of gas is to be des
tined. In like manner a unit of elec
tricity, a unit of water and a unit of
almost every other kind of service will
be prescribed. The commission and its
agents have prepared data covering
almost every phase -of publio utility
service in the state and will be pre
pared to use this information In justi
fication of whatever rulings It pro
poses to place Into effect.
The rulings of the State Commission
will be effective in Portland as well
. as in every other city and community
in the state served by a public utility
concern.
Soon after the present municipal ad
ministration went into power Robert
O. Dlock, Commissioner of Publio
Works, started to draft an ordinance
prescribing tests and standards for
public utilities operating in Portland.
When the Commission learned of his
plan they communicated with him- and
told him of their own work already
done along the same line. Mr. Dleck
then dropped his plans and turned all
his Information over to the Commis
sion so as to prevent duplication of
effort.
FOUR APPLY FOR LETTERS

Judge Cleeton. Monday.
Petitions for the Issuance of letters
of administration for four estates were

DETECTIVES GET tyO REST
Order Giving Policemen. Two Days
Off Docs Xot Include Sleuths.
Members of the police detective
bureau, who have been working 10 and
12 hours a day for the past two months,
were not included in an order issued
yesterday by Police Chief Clark, which
restored to the police two days off a

small house burglaries two months ago,
detectives working day time were
ordered to report back at night for
two to four more hours work, and

tectives patrolled the suburbs.

ROAD'S PASSENGERS LIVE
Southern Pacific Completes Year
Without Single Death.
The Southern Pacific Company, ope
rating approximately 9000 miles of
track, over which hundreds of passen
ger trains are speeding at every hour
of the day, has Just completed another
year without killing a single passen
ger. This gives the Southern Pacific
Company a record of five consecutive
years. In which 8,000,000.000 revenue
passengers were moved one passenger
mile, without the loss of a single life.
Quite naturally, the heads of de
partments are proud of the efficiency
of the train crews, dispatchers and of
ficials who are rendering such remark
able aid in the Southern Pacific's cam
paign for 'safety first, " declared John
M. Scott, general passenger agent, yeS-
terday. "The record is a splendid
tribute to the sobriety. Intelligence
and skill of the men In the operating
department.
"There have been a few lives lost
among employes, and some deaths
through people walking along tracks,
but as a general thing there have been
fewer accidents all along the line. The
company is endeavoring to enlist the
co-operation of the public in reduciner
accidents at grade crossings. Our in
vestigations show that a large per
centage of auto drivers pay no atten
tion to approaching trains at cross
ings." COUNTY TO SAVE CURRENT
100-Watt Globes on Bridges to Be-J
Replaced "With 4 0-Watt Ones.
Upon the recommendations of County
Electrician Pickering, the Commis
sioners yesterday directed Superintend
ent of Bridges Murnane to substitute
40-watt globes on all the bridges cross
ing the Willamette River in Portland.
as fast as the 100-watt globes, now in
use, need replacing. The change will
save the county more than $3000 a year
in the bill for electricity, Mr. Pickering
reports, and about $325 a year in the
cost of globes, without impairing the
lighting of the bridges.
At 'present the electrician reports on
the Broadway bridge s. there are 43
posts with five lights each and 68
brackets with four lights each, mak
ing a total of 487 lights. These, he
says, burn 100-watts each an hour.
Figuring on keeping the bridge lighted
eight hours a day at two and one-half
cents a 1000 watts, the cost of lighting
the bridge, he says, is about $295 a
month, using 40-watt Instead of 100-
watt ' globes would save the county
$177 a month on the Broadway bridge
alone, he reports. Not as many lamps
are used on the other bridges, but the
total saving, he estimates, would be
more than $3000 a year.
BOY FALLS DOWN SHAFT

Local officials' of the O.-W. R. & N.

to make some material progress to
ward the ultimate construction of the
Coyote-Stanfield cut-off on the main
line in Morrow and Umatilla counties,
plans for which have been under con
sideration for the past three or four
years.
An appropriation for the work again
has been asked for from the Union Pa
cific directors, as It has-been asked
for every year since the project first
was conceived. Were the money avail
able, the work could be done and the
line put into use in 'less than a year.
The line, as surveyed, is about 26
miles long and connects with the pres
ent main line at Coyote, in Eastern
Morrow County, and at Stanfield, in
Western Umatilla County. It will save
about six miles in distance and elim
inate much curvature and many grades.

Umatilla, which now is a division
point, will be left off of the main
line when this cut-off finally is con

will be made the division point. Ac
cording to this plan, the main line will
leave the Columbia River at Coyote, in
stead of at Umatilla.
Plans for reconstruction and change
of line between Blalocks and Wallula
on tbe main line between Portland and
Spokane are in more deflnte shape,
however, and It is probable that this
work will be done within the year.

WOMAN'S HAIR
REACHES TO KNEES
A Tear Aro Wm Threatened With BtoUU
D(M. Tells Hnr She Made
Her Hair Grow.
Mrs. Esther Etnery, now visit trig- friend"
In the city. 1 the fortunate possessor of
znarvelousiy oeautlful hair, which, when
loosened from Its colls, falls to her knees.
Moreover It is of soft, silky and fluffy tex
ture and In color a glorious glossy gold. Tet
Just one year as;o she was threatened wttti
baldness. Urged to tell how she had ob
tained this wonderful growth. In so short &
time, she said: "Had anyone told me suoh
marvelous results could ba accomplished ao
quickly, I positively would not have believed
it. Twelve months ago my hair, which then
reached barely to my shoulders, was falling
out at an alarming rate and growing very
thin, actually exposing the bald scalp in sev
eral spots. It was dull and lifeless in color,
turning gray In patches, and very dry and
brittle. My head was covered with dandruff
and Itched like mad all the time. I tried
fully a dozen different hair tonics, but they
were all the same and never did me a bit of
good. One day I chanced to read in my
home paper of a simple home prescription to
make the hair grow that was recommended
by a well-known physician. It said that by
taking .ordinary La von a de Composee and
mlxln? with Bay Rum and Menthol Crystals
and applying to the scalp each night with
the finger tips that new hair would grow
very rapidly. I decided to try It and I had
my druggist mix 2 oz. of the Lavona da
Composee with 6 oz. of Bay Rum and
drachm of Menthol Crystals,- and started to
use It. My. how Quickly my hair did grow.
First the hair stopped falling, the Itching
ceased and the dandruff disappeared. Then
tiny little hairs appeared all over my scalp.
These grew and grew as though nothing
would ever stop them. They are growing
yet, and while, of course, I have used the
treatment steadily and expect to continue It,
at least until my hair reaches the floor, 1
might have stopped and been perfectly satis
fled at the end of three months. I think
that any woman can get long, thick, beauti
ful hair by using this prescription as I
have recommended it to several friends and
all are delighted with the result. The pre
scription Is very Inexpensive and any drug
gist can fill it. Adv.
