EPISCOPAL CHURCH
TO BACK Up LEGION
THROUGHOUT STATE

Portland, Nov. 25.-The Episcopal
church in Oregon intends to get vigor-
ously behind the American Legion in
every possible way.
Bishop Summer has written to all
clergy in Oregon urging them to take
immediate steps to support the Amer
lean Legion in every possible way, and
where there is no post of the America
Legion to call the service men togeth-
or and aid them in organizing one.
AT this critical time of unrest and
possible revolution full membership in
the American Legion is all important,
said bishop Sumner. "The American
Legion Is one Of the most practical
ways of Americanization of the foreign
born.
I'm my Judgment the American Lee
gion stands as one of the most potent
forces in the country in the direction
Of order and loyalty. I trust the clergy
Of our church will give special atten-
ton to the ideals for which the Amer
lean Legion stands, as named in the
preamble of it's constitution. AS part
Of the work of its nationwide cam
paign the Episcopal church plans a gi-
gantic Americanization plan. and in
the process Of this plan it intends to
work hand in hand with the American
Legion"

SMALL Salaries OF
TEACHERS IS threat
TO NAT|ON--FOSTER

The teachers situation as 1t relates
to national welfare was most forcefully
pointed out by DR.. William +. Foster.
president of Reed college in al address
recently made before the Washington
Educational ASSOCIATION. DR.. Foster
said:
1.-The lack Of a living wage for school
teachers is q national crisis. Nc other
large class of workers in the country,
except ministers, have become such
victims of the war. Other workers took
adv aniage of wartime conditions to
double their wa yes or the luce of Their
products, while the teachers who were
not called by the government for other
work, stood by their jobs loyalty and
uncoinplainingly.
'1'Ee did not strike Or loaf on the
Job; they did not picket the school
buildings or burn theIl Gown, they re-
Trained from shooting their superin-
tendents and school boards. During
all this time there was scarcely a
branch OF the government which did
not call on the schools for specific
war work. They responded whole
heartedly, effectively. and as a reward,
teachers had their wages reduced
about so per cent-that is to say, in
purchasing power.
mot a single shipyard. street rail-
way, bank, mine, hospital, laundry,
theatre, that could have continued to
do business during the wal without
vast increase in wages. Yet there is
scarcely q school system in America
that pays its teachers, in purchasing
power, three-fourths as much as it
paid them five years ago. There are
hundreds of college faculties who r
daily facing increases in living expenses
more than five times as great as the
increases in their pay. The wonder is
not that the morals Of the schools
and colleges has suffered; the wonder
is that they have gone at all. l am not
sure but what the explanation is found
in q professional spirit higher than
that, at the present time, Of any large
group Of workers in the world"

The Best Cough Syrup
 Is Homemade.
Here's an easy way to save $2, and yet have the best cough remedy
 you ever tried
aoetetaoaeeGaNaM@G

You've probably heard of this we'll known plan of making cough syrup at home. But have you ever used it :? why thousands of families, the world house without it. It's simple and a cough will quickly earn it perma- neat place in your home.
 Into a pint bottle, pour 21Lk ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if desired, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup instead of sugar syrup. Either way, It tastes good, never spells, and gives you full pint of bet ter cough remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times it's cost.
 It is really wonderful how quickly this homemade remedy conguers 8 coush-usaally in 24 hours or less. It seems to penetrate through every air passage, loosens dry, hoarse or tight cough lifts the phlegm, heals the mem branes, and gives almost mediate relief. Splendid for throat tickle, hoarseness, croup, bronchitis and bron- ehial asthma.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com- | pound of genuine Norway pine ex- ktract, and has been used for genera Mons for throat and chest ailments. \To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for "21A ounces of Pinex" with directions, and don't accept any thing else.

Household Hints

Keep the waxed paper that comes around your bread and put it to the following uses: Turn cake from the tins upon it. Wrap it around fruit when you put it up for a lunch. Wrap heads of lettuce in it. Squeeze a sheet out in warm water and put in the cake box to keep the cake moist.
 Make leftover mashed potato into cakes and bake in the oven instead of frying.
 Put fresh graham crackers togeth- CT with frosting and use them instead Of cake at luncheon
 When baking apples, fill the cavity with honey and chopped walnut meat 1t Is an agreeable change from sugar.
 Put a pinch of soda in the water in which cabbage or onions are being cooked and the smell will be dulled
 A sure cure for warts consists in rubbing them several times a dav with common washing soda. They will disappear before you are aware of it.
 A steel knitting needle is better to try cake with than a broom splint.

1 bass baritone voice of unusual range and volume. Few voices can success i fully fill both bass and baritone roles and MT. Patton is able in works like Creation to sing high F and the low D. His voice has the depth and rug gedness for Messiah and the neces- sary briIltancy for Elijah"
 His records for the past season surely justifies the prediction that a splendid sezson is assured the talented and deserving artist. He sings with vigOr, power, and purity according to critics who have heard him. Mir. Pat tons dictiOn is especially to be com
 mended.
 | When he sang in Halifax. the pa pers were filled with his praises and said that his magnificent presentation of 'Elijah' would never be forgotten, giving as he did an unsurpassed ia- iterpretation of the rugged and noble character of the part.
 1 The other assisting artists for Tues
 day are Miss Dicie Howell, soprano,
 Mrs. Susan HawIey Davis, contralto,
 and Robert Quaint, tenor.
 1 Little has been said of Mir. Mees the director, but his work is so well 1 known to Bridgeport that it needs 1 very little comment. He took charge | of the Oratorio society five years ago
 when this requiem was presented and l has been the capable director since l that time.
 i Most music lovers in the city are
 familiar with Verdi's 'GManzoni Re
 quienl." In the year 1873 upon the death of AIessandro Manzoni, a ceIe- brated poet and one of the greatest patriots of his time, Verdi conceived the idea of writing a Requiem Mass designed to celebrate in a solemn manner the first anniversary of the great poets death Invitations were
 sent to all the gerat artists in Italy
 begging them to take part in the cer-
 emony- The work was started and
 divided into thirteen parts and con-
 fided to thirteen composers. The mass was completed but never given as originally written. Shortly after Verdi wrote it. as it is sung today. It was first sung in the Church of San
 Marco. Milan, May 9, 1874.

BENEFIT CONCERT FOR WEST END
 NURSERY

It is interesting to note the many very successful appearances that Willard Ward, the New York bari tone, has made before well known so- ciety clubs, churches, benefit con- certs, and at various other places during the last few years which made him one of the forem ost singers in the musical world. MT. Ward will be heard in Bridgeport on Dec. II under the auspices of the Associated Charities, for whose benefit the artist VIII sing here. Mrs. Kate B. Ward will be his accompanist. The pro- gram will commence prom~tly at 8:30 o'clock at The Stratfeld ball room.
 Because the proceeds of the con- cert will be used for the West End Day Nursery, MT. Ward has agreed to pay all his expenses and give his services gratis to the society. It is hoped that the proceeds will enable to enlarge the nursery which cannot at the present time accommodate the many children that are turned away each day. The nursery takes care of 6 children daily, but turns away every day as many as 30.
 Mrs. Harvey Hubben is chairman of the concert program. The com mittee in charge are very fortunate in securing MT. Wards services for appeared, speak very highly of his apepared speak very highly of his accomplishments.
 William c. Carl, director of the GuiImant Organ school and organist and director of the First Presbyterian church in New York, said recently: T am delighted to note the artistic growth of Willard Ward and the place he now holds in the world of music. His voice of beautiful quality is used with finesse and skill which makes his singing enjoyable and pleasure to hear. MT. Ward has temperament and this aided by an excellent method is winning for him many friends"
