THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 3J. 1916. 13 LIVING IN LONDON IS ! CHEAPER THAN HERE Former Dean of Oregon Law School Says German Air Raids Fail to Scare. WOMAN MAKES BOMB PAY England Begins to AVake L'p to Im portance of War, and l-'ood Is to Be Conserved More Care fully Than Ever Before. Germany's attempt to terrorize Lon don by air raids has proved an abso lute failure, according to a letter writ ten by Richard H. Thornton, dean or the law department at the University of Oregon from the time that he lounded the department in 1884 to his departure for London in 1903. He has been In that country contin ually for the last nine years and has traveled extensively there. At present tie is In Nrw York and. according to a letter to a friend, does not contemplate venturing west of the Atlantic slope. Because of the disagreeable Winter in England, he Is seeking a milder cli mate for this year. Bomb Is Source of Revenue.

And firat of U. let me say tnat. even War hHS not come home to the English people as it has to the French and Germans, to say nothing of Bel Klum and Serbia. On the whole life "i much as it did three years ago The upper and middle classes, it la true, have been forced to retrench, by reason of the heavy Income-tax, rang ing from a quarter to a half of the total. But this economy Is more than balanced by the extravagance of what are called -working people.' They are making big wages, and only here and there is anything saved. The cinema shows are crowded and trash of all kinds, so that it be showy. ia freely bought. They are having the first good time" of their lives. Considering their antecedent history, one cannot blame them severely for this foolish ness. Great Houses Vacated. "In walking recently through the fashionable district of London, r noticed many handsome residences to let'; while the boarding-houses or -residental ho tels, particularly in and near Blooms bury, are almost full The higher cost of living, nd the difficulty of getting competent 'help.' have caused hundreds of really well-to-do people to make the change. Women are now extensively employed in various ways. They carry letters, run elevators, act as conduc tors on trams and trains; and I think they have come to stay. In the coun try, boys get what used to be men's wages. Such commodities as sugar and coal are obtained with trouble In the villages; for the towns act like sponges, draining all the tributary re gions; and this. I am told, is the case In Germany, also, but in a far worse degree. "Notwithstanding all this, reports which I get from Portland convince me that peace conditions with you are more stringent than war conditions in London. Even with eggs at a dollar a dozen, and likely to climb, one can live in England on the same scale as In Portland, for two-thirds of the ex pense. No doubt you arc considering this problem. It a hi- Kail to Frighten. "Some places have been badly hit with the air raids. At Hartlepool a tomb killed about 300 people and dam aged some buildings. At Hull the large old church was injured, a number of Btores destroyed and 100 people killed. At Burton-on-Trent a brewery was wrecked. Damage was done at Hert ford. Tunbridge Wells and in several parts of London. "On the other hand, some dozen Zep pelins have been destroyed. If the purpose of Germany was to create a general seare.T may confidently say it has failed. The people, like the De mocracy of old. arc 'unterrif led.' In one poor street in the East End. a email bomb fell in a garden. The woman occupying the house said to her clergyman that it was a godsend, for she had collected two pounds by charg lug a penny a head for the sight of the spot. Summer Resorts Suffer. "I ought to add that the towns on the ";ist coast have sufferer! from laeV Xf Summer visitors: such places as hitby and Sc arborough for instance and many persons who had taken housaw on lease, depending on these visitors, are ruined. But upon the whole the air raids have been costly to their promoters, and ineffective. "It has long been felt that the coali tion government. necessary as It seemed when it came into being, was little better than a debating society: and the accession to power of Mr. Lloyd George la almost universally welcomed, even by those who were at one time thoroughly opposed to his policy Un der his administration the supply of necessaries will be severely regulated, as It should be; and the war will be prosecuted with new energy. London is already full of strong young men in kahkl. who are under training and will soon be ready to fight. England is. in fact, beginning to wake up, and de sires no premature peace." OIL FIELD TO BE WORKED Land Owners Near Roseburg to Pool Lands for Lease. ROSEBURG, Or.. Dec. 30. (Special.) At a meeting of prominent land owners residing in Flournoy Valley. 20 miles west of Roseburg, held here Thursday, it was decided to pool sev eral ranches on which oil and gas were discovered recently and lease them for development. Tne plan sub mitted by an Easterfc engineer who was present at tne meeting is to lease the properties on a royalty basis. About 5000 acres of land in Flournoy Valley are involved in the project. Most of the lands belong to J. W. Perkins. J. E. McCllntock, J. H. Mar sters and the Lexington Investment Company. A pipe line from Flournoy Valley to Roseburg is proposed. A railroad from this city to the prop erties is also under consideration. Several test wells were sunk a few months ago and the engineer in charge of the experiment reported that the formations there showed conclu sive signs of gas and oil in paying quantities. INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC THRILL IN BALLET RUSSE Nijinsky, Greatest Male Dancer of Modern Times, and Lydia Lopokova, Rival of Pavlpwa, With Company of Two Score, Will Entertain Here. 1 LYDIA LOPOKOVA. -WASLAV T HE coming of Serge de Diagileff's Ballet Russe to Portland for three performances on January 12 and JL 13. under the direction of Steers and Coman, with Nijinsky, greatest male dancer of modern times, and Lydia Lo pokova, only rival to Pavlowa, and 20 other celebrated artists, means that Portland is to have what has been ac claimed the foremost intellectual and artistic thrill that Paris, Berlin, Lon don and New York has had from the exponents of terpsichorean art. The ballet isavoluptuous in its splen dor and pigmentation, weird in its fan ciful mysticism and kaleidoscopic in the glory of its movement. In it Leon Bakst, most daring of artists, has rev eled in his colorful impertinence and the best of the great music composers, modern and contemporary, has been borrowed. In addition, legendary art and historical legend have been used for the animated story, which the Bal let Russe will tell. Dancers Are Famous. The Diaghileff Ballet Russe is an or ganization of the most famous Russian dancers available, assembled by a Rus sian nobleman, M. Diaghileff. For more than six years the productions stirred the artistic emotions of Berlin. Paris. Vienna, London and Petrograd with their magnificent performances and dancing such as American audiences had never seen. Then the great war broke out and the opportunity came for .merfca. It fell to New York's lot to receive the famous artists first and their su premacy has not been contested nor doubted by critics or dance connois seurs. Nijinsky. under whose per sonal direction the ballet will perform in Portland, has been set up as the greatest of male dancers and his aerial leaps are the wonder of the most blase. Lydia Lopokova, whose youth and beauty are second only to her artistry as a dancer, by many thought to be great with Pavlowa, stirred emotions of tearful happiness unlike any other artist before had and the "flaming Oriental beauty," Flore Revalles, by her sinuous grace and intense dramatic power, drew to herself a following not to be displaced.

The board of directors includes Harry Payne Whitney, W. K. Vander bilt, Clarence H. Mackay, Robert Goe let and Otto H. Kahn, foremost among America's patrons of art. The ballet's coming is not viewed alone as a the atric offering; it is more considered an epoch. It is not likely another 'tour with the organization intact can reach the Pacific Coast. The repertoire Is designed to mag netize the human emotions as they are interpreted in the dancing art. But, more than that, the productions bring Leon Bakst's magnificent color plots and adventures before the audiences in a way not heretofore attempted. The Ballet Russe productions are held to be Bakst's most famous revels and the music, as provided with the ballet, has been viewed by many as the most cele brated collection of harmonies from great composers yet realized. The productions will be mounted and danced exactly as they were in the old world centers before the war. The fa mous Pierre Monteux will conduct the large symphony orchestra carried with the troupe. v aslav Nijinsky is the head of the organization and, with Adolf Bolm, celebrated dancing tech nician, will apsear In the most famous of the groups-during the stay in Port land. But there are other artists in the company whose excellence as in dividual performers er in ensemble stand second to none others. Ballet Is I.nntc. The ballet, numbering in all more than two score, have all been trained in the imperial schools of Russia. The costumes are gorgeous combinations of fabric and colors and the complete repertoire being played on the Coast-to-Coast tour Includes "Sadko." "Le spectre de la Rose. "Cleopatra," the historical story of the Queen of the Nile. "Thaniar," a brilliantly vivid tragedy. "Scheherczade," fantastic frag ment rrom tne Arabian Nights: "La Princess Enchantee, "Prince Igor Les I'apillons, "Carnival" and. of course, Nijinsky s darlnsr "Afternoon of a Faun," which on Its production In New York and because of advance ac counts, called out the attention of the police to no avail.

ADVOCATED Judge Tazwcll Will Take Over Coun ty Court on Tuesday New Of ficial Announces Various Appointments Made. The separation of the juvenile and probate work of the county under dif ferent heads, tne establishment of "cot tage home schools" for delinquent .children and the passage of a law holding delinquent parents equally re sponsible with delinquent children, are some of the recommendations made yes terday ' by Judge Thomas J. Cleeton, v. if.j completed yesterday his official duties as County Judge of Multnomah County. His successor. Judge George Tazwell. will take up the work of County Judge on Tuesday. Judge Cleeton said his experience as County Judge had shown him that the department was overourdened with work. For this reason, he said, there should be a separation of the juvenile and the probate work. "I am of the opinion that this could bo done without any great Increase In expense." he said. "It would mean the salary of an additlonVl Judge, but some of this salary could be counterbalanced by the elimination of under officers. I believe the additional expense of separating the departments would not be over $2000 a year and possibly not that." Unruly Boys Need Home. The judge said that he had found there was a great need for some place to put a certain type of unruly boys and that for this reason he emphasized the need for the establishment of what he called "cottage home schools." Such schools, he said, would be established In the country and would be conducte In such a manner that the boys could be compelled to do a certain amount of work and meet with the right kind of people to insure their best development. Cases not sufficiently bad to re quire sending to the State Training School could be handled by these home schools, w'thout .the stigma which Is usually attached to the state school," said the Judge. "This would also offer a means of segregating the delinquent children from the merely dependent ones." Judge Cleeton said that in many cases delinquent parents were respon sible for the delinquency of their chil dren, and for this reason he urged a law giving the County Court power to handle cases'where parents were found delinquent, and, if necessary, punish them. Investigation Plan Urtred. In divorce suits where minor chil dren are Involved, the judge urged a law making it necessary for the judge handling the Juvenile Court to be served with copies of the papers in the suit. He would also have the Juvenile Judge make an investigation in each case and make a report to .the judge before which the suit was to" be heard "I make this recommendation," said Judge Cleeton, "because it has been found that 70 per cent of the depend ent children and 40 per cent of de linquent children are the result of broken homes." A law making it possible to prose cute fathers of illegitimate children and compel them to support such chil dren was also suggested by Judge Cleeton. Judge Cleeton began hi duties as County Judge on March 1, 1910. During that time he served as probate Judge and also for a year and a half, as a result of a law later found to be un constitutional, as Circuit Judge. The last Legislature placed the Juvenile Court work and the widows' pension work under the jurisdiction of the County Judge, and he has had charge of that since May, 1916. Home PlnrlnK Work Shown. The establishment of a home pla cing department by means of which de pendent and delinquent children were placed in homes rather than kept un segregated tn the Frazier Home, was one of the acts of his Jurisdiction. He said that the running expenses had been reduced $11,000 in the 18 months as a result of this, and the attendance at the Frazier Home cut down from an average of 50 to an average of 17. Judge Cleeton reported that while he was in charge of the probate work 2300 old estates dating back as far as 185'J had been closed, and that 1000 more were now In the process of clos ing. v The construction of the Courthouse and the establishment of the County Library and the County Farm occurred during the early years of his term when he. was acting as chairman of the Board of County Commissioners Judge Cleeton announced that he would resume the practice of law opening offices Immediately in the Pit took block with James.H. McMenamln Francis. A. McMenamln. who had charge of the probate department of the County Clerk's office under County Clerk Coffey, will also be associated with the firm of Cleeton St McMenamln.

Pipes JEFFERSON ALUMNI DANCE First Steps Are Taken to Orjranize A-siK'iation of Graduutes. Jefferson High School Alumni frolioked at the school, Friday night in a school dance that brought back memories. Members of each one of the ten graduating classes that have left Jefferson attended. The dance was planned at a recent meeting of the alumni of the school when steps were taken to organize an alumni association. John W. Ken nedy was temporary chalrmaa and Fendal Young! of the June C16) class, was elected president, and Miss Verna Jess Willard Trains For Big Bouts With Nuxated Iron World's Champion reveals secret of his tremendous force,' strength and power. How ordinary nuxated iron often increases the strength and endur ance of delicate, nervous folks over 200 per cent in two weeks' time. SPEC IAU -NOTE Dr. E. a""., hu stuSlrrt widely In both this physician, rountry and strength builder. NEW YORK. Upon being Interviewed at hi, nnrtment in the Colonial MO cat. Willard said: "Yes I have a chemist with me to study the values -of different foods and products as to their power to produce great strength and endurance, both of which are so necessary In the prize ring. On his recommendation I have often taken nuxated iron and I have particularly advo cated the free use of Iron by all those who wish to obtain great physical and mental rower. W thout It I am sure that I would never have been al-le to whip Jack John son so completely and easily aa I did. and while training for my bout with Frank Moran. I regularly took nuxat ed Iron and I am certain that It was a most Impornt factor in my win ning so easily. I shall train for all my bouts with nuxated Iron." Con tinuing, Dr. Sauer said, "Mr. Wlllards case Is only one of hundreds which I could cite from my own personal ex perience which proves conclusively the astonishing power of nuxated Iron to restore strength and vitality even In naOBt complicated chronlt conditions." Not long ago a man came to mo who was nearly half a century old. and asked me to give him a prelim inary examination for life insurance, I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full ojC vigor, vim and vitality as a vouiiir man: in fact a young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret he said was taking iron nuxated iron had filled him with re newed life. At 30 he was in bad health, at 46 he was careworn and nearly ail in. Now at 50, after taking Nuxated Iron a miracle of vitality ana his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. As I nave said a hundred times over, iron is the greatest of all strength builders If people would only throw away patent medicines and nauseous concoctions and take simple nuxated iron, I am convinced that the Quality Will Be Maintained at All Costs. But to the public the United States tires. The quality which public's unqualified approval for United States tires which has given them such amazing sales increases during the past year will be main tained at all costs. And we emphasize the consumer will be small. For a long time, every motorists, have known prices was inevitable. How soon, and how doubt until now. Now we are able to what advances or manufacturing changes other manufacturers may make that to the consumer United States Tire price advances will be small, far below the proportion of increase in cost to the manufacturer, of far below the proportion of general increase in the cost of commodities of every kind. And we are holding on quality tires to this only because of superior zation and economies perfected in the United States Tire Company's factories during the year just closing. :;: The slight increases and readjustments in the prices of United States tires go into effect Jan uary 1, 1917. Consult the nearest United States tire dealer for the details of these changes. United States Tire Company Barker of the same class, vice-president. Other officers will be elected soon.

Or., Dec. 30. (Special.) "The Messiah's Advent." a Christmas cantata, will be' given on New Year's eve In the Dallas armory by a chorua of 20 voices and soloists. The enter tainment is free. The programme is under the direction of D. V. Poling. All churches in Dallas will hold serv ices and then adjourn to the Armory, Knights and Ladies to Dunce. Eureka Council. Knights and Ladles of Security, will hold an entertainment and dance at the New Woodmen Hall at Eleventh and Burnside streets on Monday night. January 1. The affair is an annual event, and about 200 In vitations have been sent out for the dance. Says Iron is greatest of all strength builders. lives of thousands of persons might be saved, who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kldnev. liver and heart trouble, etc. The real and true cause which started their di.-eases was nothing more or less than a weak ened condition brought on by lack of Iron In the bloci. Iron Is absolutely necessary to enable vour blood to i-hnnge food into living tls ve. Without It, no matter how much or what you eat. -.our food merely passes h rough you without doing ou any good. You don't get the strength out of it and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking just like a plant trying to grow In a soil defi cient of iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without be coming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while, dou ble their strength and endurance and en tirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles In from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking Iron In the proper form. And this after they had In some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced Iron, Iron acetate or tincture of Iron sim ply to save a few cents. You must take iron In a form that can be easily ab sorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you wish It to do you any good, other wise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled tits blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron. E. Sauer. M. D. NOTE Nuxated- Iron, recommended above by Dr. Sauer. Is not a patent medicine nor secret r.-medy. but one which Is well known to drug gists and whose Iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere, t'nllke the older Inorganic Iron products. It Is easily assimilated. does not Injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary. It is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of Indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The man - uracturers have such great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit 1100 uO to any charitable Institution If tuey cannot take any man or woman under tiO who lacks Iron and Increase their strength -M per cent or over In tour w-eeks time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money If It does not at least double your slretigtli and endurance In ten days' time. It Is dispensed by The Owl Drug Companv and all good druggists. t
