THE PROPOSED LIBERTY BUILDING

HAT THE affection which each community has in its
 soldier heroes and its for its soldier dead will surely lead to the erection of memorials These may be costly monuments surfaces upon which to record the heroic lame they may be useful structures dedicated to the Io est uses of communal life.
 The project to make Brdgeports memorial shape into the form of great auditorium with club for veterans, and halls for display of battle trophies entirely sound utaran and in accord with the spirit of the city.
 Bridgeport needs and long has needed place of blaze big enough to contain thousands of people.
 Such convenience would bring the people of the city Gogeher make possible for the citizens enjoy the speech orators in comfort and dignity It would promote well being of the city and the happiness of the people many ways besides giving complete and impressive expression fundamental thought of gratitude to the soldiers
 Whether this building should also contain the public ry is question which to meet divided opinion Mayor Wilson favos united library and auditorium Mr. Lashar is to head the committee that will carry the work no doubt be influential in deciding
 There is essential why library should not be included in such building One building for number of high public be made larger dgnified and pressive than two buildings erected at the cost.

 Pine cough syrups are combinations of pine and syrup. The "syrup" part ia usually plain granulated sugar syrup.
 To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buy, put 211a ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up with homemade sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make full pint-more than you can buy ready-made for three times the money. It is pure, good and very pleasant-children take it eagerly.
 You can feel this take hold of a cough or cold in way that means business. The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight, or may be consistently loose from the formation of phlegm.

Mrs. Vincent Astor Tells
 Experiences in Canteen

New York, Dec. 19-How American women in France helped to tighten the cares of American soldiers, feed ing them with sweets, cooking for them, dancing with them, and also washing dishes and scrubbing floors, was told today by Mrs. Vincent As- tor. After eighteen months service in canteen and welfare work, while her husband was serving with the overseas naval forces, Mrs, Astor has just returned from Bordeaux, whers she was in charge of division of Y! M. c. A. women. One of her felloW " workers was Mrs. Henry Russell, for merly Ethel Borden Hartman, who was married in France.
 American women have filled such an enormous place in the war that 1t would be difficult to imagine now what would have been done without their help" she said The thous- ands of women who got to the other sfdet gave themselves up completely to working for the soldiers, both the sick and the well, and they never spared themselves. They worked all day, and often danced long hours in the evening, sometimes with a hun dred partners.
 The soldiers showed the most conn plete courtesy to every American woman, making it intensely pleasant to be doing things for them. Every few nights we gave a dance. There were usually about twenty American women, and they would have to di- vide their time among several hun dred men. Once we had eight wom- en and two thousand sailors.
 "In Ithe cafeteria we began by serving about fifty men a day, and soon it was thousands. They all wanted eggs, doughnuts, and ice cream. We had a canteen, which means strictly Q tobacco and candy store, where the men bought at cost; and three nights a week we gave pictures and entertainments.
 ''When the conveys of wounded first commenced arriving at Bordeaux the stretchers bearing the wounded men would be put out on the station platform and we would go among them distributing coffee and cigar
