tack. It was his men who did the
bulk of the terrific fighting that
drove the Huns out Of Audendarde.
And Major Lester W. Humphreys
was right at the front with the
doughboys. On the morning OF the
armistice his men were in foxholes
at the front ready to renew the at
tack. He received word to hold fast
only a short time before 20" hour.
While the division was being de-
loused in the La Mans area, the
major received permission to attend
the law school at the Sorbonne. He
took the course offered, all the lee
lures being in French. But Hum
phreys had studied the language so
we'll that he can read and write and
speak it with ease. He returned
with his battalion, going first to
California and then coming to Port
land He reached home last May.
Major Humphreys was visitor at
his parents home in Ashland last
summer, shortly after returning
from France.

SPLIT ONE JOB IN THREE

After years OF agitation for the
consolidation Of state commissions
and bureaus. the legislature labored
and brought forth a mouse. The
politicians promised and the peo-
pie expected mighty consultations
would ensue after all the pomp of
preparation. but only one tiny con-
solidation was delivered. That was
a consolidation OF the Industrial
Welfare Bureau with the Child Labor
Bureau.
Both bureaus. before the consoli-
dation. had appropriations aggregat-
ing over $4,000. BY consolidation
Of their executive and working
forces, the appropriations we're re-
duced about $4,000. Thus that vast
sum was saved TO the taxpayers after
rip-roaring political promises that
shook the state with its campaign
echoes and threatened to shake
scores OF commissions and bureaus

WORLD FINDING OUT THE
VALUE OF OREGON FRUIT

observation-disclosures products are
finding their way into the favor of
large manufacturing concerns and
are beginning to be sold as Oregon
goods and not under the California
label as heretofore, was the state
ment of David A. Smith, of Port
land, representative Of the Onegon
Journal, who was in the city this
week. Mr. Smith says that the large
Del Monte concern which has long
been a dispenser of higr grade fruits
will this season market their Oregon
goods as such and advertise them
extensively. The handicap that Or
egon goods has suffered from lack of
proper advertising in the past
has resulted in considerable loss
and it is believed the world is at last
beginning to know their worth.

Upon the basis Of rhythm and CO.
ordination of mind and body are con-
structed all the arts.
"Plato says that the whole life OF
man is governed by rhythm. 1t is
rhythm that has given to the world
the joys of art and the harmony Of
friendship. Unsteady time in music,
staggering and twisting gait in
walking, inability to draw straight
line, indecision as to color, difficult
ty in reading sufficiently far ahead
Of the word being pronounced to
give accent to the sentence, color
less, unsupported voice in singing,
all shown the unframed coordination,
Rhythm creates a rapid and reg
ular current of communication be-
tween brain and body. All plastic
work helps to overcome intellectual
stagnation. rhythmic exercise, based
upon a response to music, Is the
foundation of all interpretive dane
ing, in which the subconscious mind
finds expression and produces orig
inal composition which will stand as
real art.
"The dancer must possess good
health, developed mind, sure
sense OF rhythm and perfect CO.
ordination between brain and body;
then we do not need lights and
drapings, rouge or powder or expen-
sive staging. These latter only hin
der art and cover incompleteness
but without the former we have not
seen or known the art of the dancer.
Personality and poise are proba-
bly, more desired by the world at
large than any other qualities, and
these envied possessions are at
tanned by those persons who do
not possess item naturally In
one way oHlv, and that is by
hard work ard constant watchful-
ness, by concentration of the forces
and faculties. The nerfe"ting of the
cells of which the body in composed
goes far, however toward the at
tainment of the desired result, and
the more perfect the cellular struc-
ture of the physical organism the
easier become the task of developing
the mental faculties,
Thus Mrs. Towne expresses an
enthusiasm that is illustrated in
happy groups. The enthusiasm is
typical of that to be round in many
centers OF tuition in interpretive
dancing throughout the country
from Connecticut to California.

Ashland takes much pride in unit
ing with family of this city in the
pardonable pride they must feel over
the honor that has come to one of its
members. This is Mr.. and Mrs. T. N.
Humphreys, whose son, Lester w.
Humphreys. has just been recon-
mended for the appointment for u.
s. attorng for the district of Oregon
to replace Bert E. Haney, who has
resigned.
Lester Humphreys did "hitch"
in the regulars during the last Phil
ippine rebellion. He then returned
to his former Myrtle Creek, Or,
home, later drifted to Portland and
took up the reporters trade" He
was for several years court house re-
porter on The Portland Telegram.
He ATTENDED law school at night
As soon as he had nerve enough he
passed the state bar examination and
began expounding Blackstone. AZ
ter a short time "going it alone" he
went into the offices of Chamber
lain & Thomas, the firm now being
Chamberlain, Thomas, Kramer &
Humphreys.
At the outbreak of the war with
Germany, Lester went to the first
training camp at the Presidio. He
came forth a captain, and was sent to
Fort Sill for more knowledge. When
the Wild West division (91st) began
forming at American Lake, the cap
tain was ordered to Camp Lewis. He
was assigned to the 346th infantry,
and was with this splendid fighting
regiment throughout the war.
When the Argonne show began at
dawn on Thursday September rs.
Humphreys was operations officer of
the regiment. Within short time
after the fight began his brigade
commander was relieved. and the
colonel of the 346th assumed charge.
