14 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. JAXTJAItY 7, 1917. MR MARK . LEWIS IS ROAD CODE FIGHT Opposition Pound to Present Engineer Being on High s way Commission. FUTURE FRICTION FEARED TJTien legislature Meets and Con elders Road legislation, Kffort to Abolish Mr. lewis Office Is Not Deemed TJnlikely. There is certain to be a fight in the coming: Legislature, and a bitter one, over that portion of the proposed new road code submitted as a model by the 'ederal Government, that makes the Ftate Kngineer a member of the State Highway Commission of three members. The objection is not so much against Xiaving the State Engineer on this com mission as it is against John H. Lewis, the State Engineer. In fact, the fight centers about Mr. Lewis himself. His opponents, and they are many to Judge from the preliminary excitement about the hotel lobbies where the Leg islators gather, do not want Mr. Lewis to be a member of the State Highway Commission under any circumstances. They seem to fear that ho would be in a, position, as a member of the commis sion, to wield enough power eventually to control the commission, and perhaps, to get himself appointed State Highway Engineer. Conference Shows Feeling. At any rate, this Is the theme of a Jot of talk. Whether It is mere excited gossip or has a basis in probability or truth, the fact remains that Mr. Lewis, personally, will be an issue in the framing of the road code. Some Inkling of the feeling against Mr. Lewis in this connection cropped out at the final session of the road con ference, when a motion was made to recommend adoption of the proposed Federal code. Such determined opposi tion arose that this was not done. The debate ostensibly centered about the probability of "friction" between the members of the State Highway Commission. If one of them. the Etate Engineer, were elective and the two others appointive. The real issue Ibehlnd the curtain, however, was Mr. Lewis himself, without regard to whether he might hold the position lectlvely or appolntively. Not only will a strong effort be made to keep Mr. Lewis off the new State Highway Commission, but it will not be surprising if a bill also is Introduced In the Legislature to abolish the office of State Engineer on the ground that there is no need for it now that the Tumalo project has been completed and the state Is not likely to go into further irrigation projects for some time to come. Saving la Seen. By abolishing the sffice. It will be argued, a large sum will be saved the state and a positive step taken in the elimination of needless state offices and commissions. Some Legislators go so far as to say that Mr. Lewis probably realize that his office has outlived its usefulness and is looking-for a soft spot to light in as State Highway Engineer. Mr. Lewis' side of it has not been heard, but these members Intend to forestall any lean ing he may have in that direction by keeping him off the State Highway Commission. The feeling against Air. Lewis seems to be due to his personality. He is not the most tactful man In the world. This lack of tact has Involved him at various times In disputes with most of the state officials of the present and preceding administrations, with engineers work ing on Irrigation and other projects, and with members of the Legislature.

MAN IS A MACHINE (By DR. I. W. SHORT.) The body Is a highly organized ma chine of complicated parts in which the liver and kidneys worlc for the cominon Rood. Damage to either one of these organs Interferes with man as a motor mechanism. The automobile expert knows how Important it is that the carburetor does not get too much fuel, along with sufficient air to burn or ex plode the gas. Too much fuel in man's machine, such as eating too much meat, or alcohol, or tea, and the liver cannot "turn over," nervous overwork and lack of exercise in outdoor air bring con stipation and bad health. Cat less meat, plenty of vegetables, and with air and good exercise you need little else. If the liver needs rousing and most of us need this once a week take a safe vegetable extract of the leaves of aloe, of May-apple, root of Jalap, made into a tiny sugar-coated pill and sold by al most every druggist as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets first put up nearly BO years ago. Most people die eventually of an veracld condition. If the blood can be rendered more alkaline, the longer we live. With regular hours, plenty of water between meals, sensible, coarse food and a chance to get the poisons out of the system, a man will live to be a hundred. But, unfortunately, our highly nervous way of living brings Increased storage of uric acid in the body. This acts as a poison, and we suffer from lumbago, aches or pains, rheumatism, gout. Get rid of this uric acid poison by taking a harmless medicine called Anu rlc, which throws out the uric acid by stimulating the kidneys. Drink a pint of hot water a full half hour before meals and take Anurlc three or four times a day. Anuria can be obtained at almost, anjr drug store. Adv. ELEVEN ballets in the repertoire of the Serge de Diaghileff Ballet Russe will be given during the engagement of this world-famous or ganization at the Heilig Theater under the direction of Steers & Coman. Fri day and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee this week, January 12 and 13. All of the stars . in the Diaghileff troupe will scintillate during the three performances in Portland, and for the first time Bakst art in its original splendor and Oaring will be seen. The music is a complete symphony in it self and Includes the choicest bits from Chopin, Tschaikowsky, Debussy, Rlm-sky-Korsakov, Schumann, Balakirev and' Weber. An orchestra of 50 pieces under the leadership of Pierre Monteux accom panies the ballet. When it is remem bered, that the music was written by some of the ultra modern composers it can readily be understood that the orchestra has in its possession some of the most unique musical instruments which have been carried by a musical organization. War Makes Tour Poutble, The American tour is made possible by the war and the interest in the bal let dlsplaj'ed by some of New York's foremost patrons of art and. social leaders. The Metropolitan Opera Com pany is sponsor and on its board of directors are eome of the magical names of the New York blue book. The Imperial Ballet's pre-eminence as an aggregation of super genius has never been questioned from, its first appear ance in New York and some of the numbers in the repertoire have cre ated amazement and, from censors, not a little alarm, which proved futile when the performances were viewed. The programme as it will be given In -Portland runs from lace-like epi sodes in poetry to intense tragedy. "Prince Igor." which will be given on the opening night. "Thamar," on Sat urday night, and "Scheherazade." a feature of the Saturday matinee per formance, are but examples of the lav ish pursuit of the tragically artistic. There are a dozen dancers of especial note in the company aside from the gorgeously arrayed ballet corps. Adolf Bolm, whose skill has won him a place as the greatest Russian dance techni cian; Nijlnsky, whose exotic maneuvers and personality are unforgettable; Lo pokova. whose distinctive Russian beauty is hardly less than her inde scribable dancing, and Klore Revalles, "flaming Oriental beauty," subtle tra gedian, dancer and actress, are only a few of the several stars. The produc tions at each performance provide three separate yet wholly harmonized distractions in art, namely, the dan cing, the Bakst coloring and designs and the munic. The opening night will provide "Las Sylphides." with Nijlnsky, Lokopova. Calanta and bokolova; "Cleopatre," with Bolm. Revalles, Sokolova and others; "Prince Igor," with Bolm. So kolova, Galanta and others., and "La Princess Knchantee," with Lopokova and Nijlnsky. Saturday matinee offers three num, bers. 'Scheherazaae,- witn Bolm, Re valles and four other stars and the bal let in a magnificent harem scene from Gautier's Arabian Nights prelude; "Le Spectre de la Rose," with Lopokova and Zverew, and "Les Paplllons," with Bolm. Lopokova. Sokolova, Galanta and Plana as the star performers. Troupe la Larke. The Diaghileff troupe has been the sensation of the European capitals, such as London. Berlin. Paris, Petro grad and Vienna, and the productions in the 50 American cities will be ex actly as given abroad and in New York. More than 250 persons are carried and severaj cars used to transport the scenery and costumes. Bakst's flaming colors and novel de signs are not less a feature than the dancing by the acknowledged supreme artistes of the world. There has been no question in any city where the troupe has appeared that the produc tion is lavishly magnificent. Gold, cut steel, bronze and sliver are used with laces of the finest fabric. The be witching color scheme is as manifest on the bodies of the dancers as in the tapestries of the hangings. The ar tistes, for Instant, nalnt their bodies with an absorbent mixture into which is blown fine powders and dust of the colorings conceived by Bakst Highly colored glass and arts and crafts Jew elry are used with stunning effect. real estate transfers and business deals broke all previous records. Besides serving at a busier time than any of his predecessors. Mr. Pro man has served much longer than any other former recorder of Linn County, so his big filing record is unprecedented.

TIZ" FOR TIRED SORE FEET AND RYAN CASE IS DROPPED POLICE FrjTD INCONSISTENCIES IN ASSAULT STORY. One-Day Insurance Policy Taken Oat and Poaaeaslon of $21 Not Given. Credence. Inquiry Into the case of T. G. Ryan, hospital ex-orderly, 65 years old. who was supposed to have been slugged and robbed by unknown assailants at Twelfth and Belmont streets on Thurs day night, has been dropped by - the police. Detectives Hellyer, Tackaberry, Leonard and La Salle were investigat ing. Various phases of Ryan's story do not coincide, the detectives declare, and they lay stress upon the fact that Ryan took out a single-day accident insur ance policy at 4 o'clock on the after noon of the alleged assault, paying 25 cents therefor. The policy was pur chased at the North Bank depot, where Ryan is said to have told the agent that the insurance was purchased for traveling protection. A physician who examined ' the wound behind R van's right ear. the de tectives say. pronounce it to have been made by a very keen blade, believing that a hatchet, which is the only weapon that could have struck the blow as Ryan describes it, must have been as sharp as a razor. Ryan had $21, he told the offloers, a gold piece wrapped In a II bill. In ex planatlon of bis possession of this money, as It was known that he has not worked for some months, he said that railroad men at Pasco. Wash., gave and loaned it to him in small sums. He Is now being cared for at Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was for merly an orderly. SPECIAL REDUCTION MADE Ronnd-Trlp Rail Rate Between Portland and East for Convention.
