r - f 1 7 r THE SUJtPAY OREGONIAX. FORTLAyP, JULY 5, ' 1914. NEW THEORY IS TOLD Ductless Glands Blamed for .Some Eruptive Diseases. OLD SCHOOL IS OPPOSED Or. W. O. Powell, President of Pa cific Chiropractic College, Says Belief In Blood's Great Func tions Bar to Progress. Dr. W. O. Powell, president of the Pacific Chiropractic College, made an address before the seventh annual con vention of tne Oregon Chiropractic Association Friday night, which out lined briefly his theory concerning the ductless glands. His theory la opposed directly to the teaching of the medical colleares of today. . Dr. Powell offers it as a reasonable explanation of the unknown cause of certain eruptive diseases. Part of his theory, he declared, has been advanced already in the writings of at least one foremost 'physiologist during the last few years. Failure of the ductless glands to per form their function of acting upon the unoxkllzed elements in the serous or basic fluid which result from normal metabolism that they may be thrown off through the excretory organs the skin, kidneys and lungs was blamed by Dr. Powell. He said that the serous circulation was the means through which the specific gravity of the lymph and the blood was maintained at a standard degree. "The function of the ductless glands is to act upon the various chemical elements in the nutrient sub stance taken into me serous circuia-t tfon from the intestines," saia ur. Powell. "The blood has been credited with too many functions, and the old theory of the blood's function has prevented experimental medicine from discover ing the cause of the body's evolution. They have placed so much stress upon the blood that they have departed from Its real function and have placed themselves In the position where they are unable to explain the phenomena of all the eruptive diseases and con ditions found in the body."

The British (toverr.ment has decided to make a grant of $50,000 toward the coit o( 6ir Erneit ghaelileton's Antarctic expedi tion, which will leave England during the p-esent yar. C. N. HOBSFKLDT I. M'KEN- understanding among 1 the property owners, and hence the two propositions have been separated, and the Lower Peninsula people will put the Willam ette boulevard-Greeley street highway through independent of the Patton ave nue extension. According to the report of Deputy Engineer W. S. Chapman the cost of the Peninsula highway right of way . 4Kr 5 1 : i from Killingsworth avenue to Russell street will be $62,000. The grading at 15 cents .per yard and fills at 1 cent, according to the profile map at the City Hall, would make, the grading cost 56,0U0. The pavement at i.du per square yard would cost $41,440. However, the pavement could not be laid sooner than two years until the roadway had settled. The total cost of the Peninsula highway would be $169, 000, and of this sum the abutting prop erty owners would pay approximately $85,000. This will leave $84,000 for the lot owners between a line drawn mid way between Omaha and Boston ave nues on the east, the river and city limits on the west and the city limits on the north. Approximately, there are 12,000 lots within this district, and the average cost per lot would be $7. Time on Cars Cat. According to the figures of the com mittee this new route will reduce the time of the St. Johns cars to the heart of Portland by 15 minutes. The dis tance from Greeley street and Killings worth avenue by way of Williams avet sua, the present route, to . Broadway bridge Is 3.57 miles, while by the new proposed Peninsula Highway the dis tance to the Broadway bridge Is 2.33 miles, a saving of 1.24 miles to Broad way bridge. By the Williams-avenue route there are 60 street intersections for the cars to cross, while by the Pen insula Highway there will be Ave in tersections to cross. The committee figures out that there wnuiri be a aavinx of half an hour dally for every passenger on the - St. Johns cars and, ratea at iv cenia m hour, the value of the time in a year would be $60, or S per cent on $1100. "This Is the sum in dollars and cents that this new roadway Is worth to every lot on which a man may build si home." savs the Associated Clubs committee. "The distance between the home and the place of worn in tne center of Portland is the standard on which the real estate expert bases a value on any given piece of property. Reduce the distance and. the value is increased. The Peninsula," Judgfng by the popularity of the petition, is unan imous for this saving of time, which is now wasted and which, if saved, will enhance the value of the property. "The Peninsula, on account of the round-about way to and from it, has been classed with property far out It has been competing with Montavilla, Woodstock and Sellwood. , When, by taking advantage of the natural pass, as the proposed extension of Greeley street will do, Killingsworth avenue and Oreelev street will be but ten min utes from the heart of Portland. This will put the property on a par with the close-in sections of the East Side. The Peninsula will then compete witn Irvlngton, Upper Alblna and like sec tions. "The people of the Peninsula want an artery of irarric, a roaaway mr utility. When this is done, they will consider the laying out of automobile drives; several beautiful scenio drives could be constructed, inasmuch as the natural advantages are all there, but at present only 10 per cent of the peo ple have automobiles. The rest use the streetcar. It is this majority that is clamoring for the proposed extension of Greeley street and the majority will win out People Work for Plan. The committee sums up lts argu ment in behalf of this improvement: "This Improvement in some respects is not one without precedent Ala meda Park had a big bluff to scale. The Alameda drive was graded and paved. It was this improvement that made Alameda Park a popular section to home-owners. The owners of Beau mont like the Alameda. Land Company,. first made the territory accessible by grading several streets. This created a ready sale for the lots. In the case of the Peninsula, however, where the land was not owned by one company or by one individual, In this respect the proposed extension of Greeley street is unique. Here the people are acting to gether with one eye on the benefits to accrue and with the other on the means to have it accomplished in the near future. "From the viewpoint of the out sider, he cannot help but sympathize with the people in their effort to get this advantage that the proposed im provement will give them. Here are 20.000 persons at the present time and room for 100,000 more. Those on the Peninsula at the present are, In the main, working men. like the men com posing the committee working for tne improvement When one observes the crowded cars morning and evening he will see that these men have their work in the shops, stores and offices of the City of Portland. Every man at the present time so situated is losing 30 minutes per day and he has lost it every working day since he located his home on the Peninsula, and as the res idents of the Peninsula consider this fact he is not able to enthuse over the plans for the city beautiful, but In stead puts his whole heart in the movement to raise the efficiency of the public capital invested in streets. His slogan is "An Economic City." To the mass of the population of any city economy, whether of time or money, is always the watcnwora ana to the masses that city is the .most beautiful where the transit conditions are safest and fastest and wherein one can live on less expensive property in the suburbs and still be not too tar re moved from the center of the city. RAGE IS MADE TO RAGE MARTIN PARELIBS , -WANTS TWO PRIZES, AND GETS THEM. Irvlngton Contest Won, He Dashes Avmy to Metzeer in Time to Jump on Bicycle and Win These. Sheridan's famous ride was glorious ly parodied yesterday by Martin Pare llus, son of M. W. Parelius, of Irving- ton. In a successful dash from one Fourth of July celebration to another n ihat he mlarht win prizes that were offered in both places. The more glory attacnes to tne gal lant ride of the young Parelius because he accomplished exactly what he start ed out to do. There was a footrace scheduled for the Masonic celebration at Metsger and Martin looked upon the prize hung up with- longing eyes. But there was a first-class bicycle lamp offered at Irv lngton for a DOys Dicycie rauc "And I really can use that bicycle lamp." he confided to his friends. His decision finally fell in favor of the race at Metzger and the youthful athlete went In, and won.

"Hello, Kidj" "Ob, You Peach," and Other Endearing Terms Used on Pier, Horrify Mrs. Wolf Wolfram. NEW YORK, July 1. Mrs. Wolf Wolfram, who arrived today on the liner Mauretania, brought over with her a parrot and two monkeys. The parrot caused her much embarrassment on the pier. He bad been kept In the hold on the trip over, and picked up some new phrases below decks. "Hello, kid," he would call, when ever he spotted a pretty girl, and the girl so addressed would turn Indig nantly, prepared to call somebody down. "It's only Cayenne Pepper" (the par rot's name), Mrs. Wolfram would ex plain apologetically. "He's picked up some horrid language down in the hold. Please forgive him." "Sit down! You're rockin' the boat," Polly would shout. "Oh, you peach!" was another favorite expression with which he greeted the ladies. A fat red-faced man, in a hurry to get somewhere, bumped- into a portly lady who had come to meet some re turning friends. The collision threw both almost off their feet "Don't mind him, madam, he's half seas over," shouted Polly. Mrs. Wolfram didn't, want to be separated from Cayenne Pepper onj shipboard, but the other passengers insisted after the first night Polly couldn't sleep, and at two-minute in tervals would shriek: "Polly's sick. Polly's dying. Poor Polly!" The next day, despite the protests of his mistress, Polly was taken down to the hold with Mustard and Tobasco, the two monkeys. Down there he amused himself bossing everybody and he picked up enough language, it was said, to qualify him for bossing a gang of 'longshoremen. THIRTY.

July L St Louis so ciety's "thirty" will be delinitely estab lished when the present plans are worked out for a new home for grand opera here. There are to be 30 families to hold the principal tier of boxes in perpetuity. Guy Golterman announced today that $80,000 had been subscribed In two days, not counting the $50,000 which the late Adolphus Busch prom ised to give for a new opera-house shortly before his death and which his son-in-law, Edward A. Faust says profcably will be made good by the fam ily. The committee in charge expects soon to raise $350,000 for the building. It was at first planned to have an opera house and hotel combined, but this has been abandoned for a classic building to contain 3180 seats.
