Forty-nine years old and born at! Jamestown, Pa., Dr. Lewis is descended | from colonisl stock. He is a Univer- | 8ity of Nebraska graduate.

He established three large arm colonies for that city and helped Teorganize four others where patients were taught to produce food for them- selves. Two trips to Europe in 1927 and 1928 to study agricultural conditions in Den- mark, Prance, Germany and England resulted in an invitation from Japanese sources to go to Korea to establish a unified agricultural system. In Wisconsin Dr. Lewis was an ex- aminer in adjusting tax rates betwgen corporations and farms. This work re- sulted in his being invited to Wash- Ington to assist the Interstate Com- merce Commission in establishing the earning power of railroads. At the beginning of the - term of Charles E. Hughes as governor of New York Lewis became statistician of the I’l‘lbllc Service Commission. Subway Planner. His duties included a financial history ©f power companies and assistance in laying out the enlarged subway system of New York City. He became assistant to John P. ‘Mitchel, later mayor, and was one of the small group that established the city's budget system. For a short time he was with the company that built nitrate plant No. 2 at Muscle Shaals. Since 1926 Dr. Lewis has been vice president and director of the Penney- Gwinn Corporation, operating a 120,000~ acre farm demonstration in Florida.
