GAS MASKS IN
 STORE EXHIBIT

An interesting exhibit is shown this week in the windows of the Golde 1 Clothes Shop at 1928 Main street. The Golde firm played a prominent part during the war in the manu- fracture of articles for the Gas De fense Division of the Chemical War fare Service, as well as for the Guar termaster Corps. Over a million uni forms and overcoats were manufac- tured at the Golde plant. But the chief work of the firm was in CO., operating with the members of the Gas Defense Division. One contract of 35O,OO0 horse masks was complet- ed, and a contract of 1,500.O had been started upon at the cessation of hostilities. Thousands of mustard gas protective suits were being rush ed from the Golde plant to the mili- tary forces of the American troops in Europe. The GoIde firm has the honor of having turned out the entire output of horse masks for the Ameri- can forces, and their mustard gas equipment struck instant favor as the only means of protection against the most deadly of the German gases. Both types of horse mask are shown in the store exhibit, as well as the mustard gas equipment. In addition to this, MT. GoIde has secured all types of masks manufactured in this country for gas warfare.
 The R. F. K Mask, which can be identified as the one with the white rubber mouthpiece and nose clip,
 
 100000 had been produced. The other types, known as the Akron, lis sot and Kops, the Miller and the Uul- innate masks were in the process of large scale production during the last months of the war. The division had been experimenting with these masks for several months. and had finally reached what was thought to be the pinnacle of perfection. The defects of the R. F. K. Mask had been eliminated; the mouthpiece and nose guard discarded, and a man could don the new mask and perform the normal breathing functions within the facepiece. Had the governmen been able to supply these latest masks | for the troops in Europe, the return | ing boys would have seen possibly the | most remarkable development in the | lines of gas warfare. One of the interesting exhibits of l the Golde store Is the painting of J the Final Inspector" This was | made by Lieut.. Thayer of the divis- | ion, and over 200.0 900 copies were dis tributed throughout the training 1 camps of America and over Europe | as an educational move to secure a. | more concerted attention toward pro | lection against the gas of the enemy. | One look at this painting will con- vince a person Of the horror that the 1 word "gassing'' has to the Allied soldiers. The management of the | store will permit these masks to be | inspected during the week

FAITH.

The business of the preacher is to make religion plain. Dr. Days third Lenten morning sermon will discuss the meaning of faith. Why does Christianity begin by asking us to be- lieve something. One of the first things Jesus said to Nathaniel was, ''BeEevest Thou ?'' All through the Bible. prophets and apostles tell men that faith is the way to real religion. We haven't any use for commercials and if Faith is believing in some thing that isn't true" we don't want faith.
 At the meeting of the Mems Mem bership Committee last Wednesday night. over forty candidates for church membership at the Easter communion were reported: they ex- pect to exceed the hundred mark.
 In the current Congrega tionaIist under the heading. How One Big City Church Does It," is printed a striking account of the unusual meth cd of recruiting for church member ship adopted by the United church and some of the other churches in Bridgeport.
 At the Sunday noon Dlscu ussion Club MT. Samuel r. Beardsley will open the discussion on Nineteenth Century Expansion'' in the religious life of America; he will be followed by Dr. Arthur Sides of the High School and others.
 The United Church will cooperate very heartily with the Christian Union in the Holy Week addresses to be given by Dr. Winchester of Toron- to.

 ANCESTER'S WILL

Greensburg, Pa, March 22-Gen- eral John J. Pershing fulfilled the wish of an ancestor that a member of the Pershing family should save AL sace-Lorraine, when he led the vic torious American armies against the Germans. This fact is disclosed by the Rev. Justus N. Pershing, a cousin of General Pershing. who has made public a letter written in AIsace-Lor- raine more than 200 years ago by Frederick Pershing, General Persh- ing's great-grea grandfather. In this letter the generals ancestor expressed the hope that his son. Frederick Pershing. Jr., or his descendants would come back some day and re- deem the fair lands of Alsaoe-Lor- raine from oppression"
 According to the lstter, the Persh- ings lived in the village of Kehes in Alsace-Lorraine in 1744 and fought under Emperor Charles against the Magyars, Soon after that when a law was passed that all able-bodied men between the ages of 1s and 50 must join the landwhsr to protect their county from savages by the Austraans.

CONTEMPORARIES
 PROGRAM CHANCE

| It has been found necessary 10 1 make one change in the Chautauoua 1 program. Mme. WheeIer-HarpFanl | who was to have assisted the KaIten- born quartet at the Tuesday concerts is prevented from filling her enga ge- ment by reason of the severe illness of her little child. Both Nme Harpham and the Chautauqua man. agement regret the necessity for any
 change whatever. but daneerous ilI- n ness Is something no one can control
 and 1t comes upon many homes these days with startling suddenness How ever, the Chautauqua, committee are pleased to announce that they have secured the services of another note worthy soprano, Miss Helen Sherman York of Boston.
 In arranging the program in the first place. it was a question whether to give Mime. Harpham or Miss York the position of leading voca list the committee regarding them as about equally desirable. They therefore feel that our Bridgeport music lovers will be delighted to hear Miss York Miss York has lately returned from Naples, Italy, where she has had three years study and opera experi- ence. Although not a singer that has been for many years before the pub
 lie, she has a. voice or treSh, pleasing quality, which she commands with ease. The review of a concert she gave recently before a crowded house in Augusta says: Miss York's voice is remarkable, both in range and quality. Her personality is charming. Her rare talent, which has been train ed and certified under the tutelege of the great Sebastiani of Italy, thrilled the people as they listened to this truly great prima donna so- prano."
 The Neapolitan newspaper, Eco della Cultura' has this to say of her:
 Although Elena Yorke is an Amerl-
 can, we also claim her for the Latin race Her voice rang through the hall like nightingale, and her stac-
 cato work was so beautiful and clear that it made one hold ones breath

ILLUSTRATED TALK
 AT PARK CHURCH

On Sunday evening at Park Street COngrega church the second of the very attractive Illustrated lectures that are being given on the Life Of Christ" will be heard.
 The interest which the people are taking in this course of lectures was shown last Sunday night by the at tendance despite the handicap of a stormy evening. Because many other people were doubtless prevented, however, by the storm from coming to the first lecture, q brief synopsis of that, with some of the best pictures shown last Sunday night, will be given for their benefit, together with the second lecture, tomorrow evening The revised program will then be as follows:
 Sunday, March 23, From the Birth of Jesus to Nicodemus' Visit
 Sunday, March 30, From the First Passover to the Calling of the Twelve"
 Sunday, April 6, From the Sermon on the Mount to the Death Of John the Baptizer."
 Sunday, April 18, From the Feed ing of the Multitude to the Visit to the Pharisee's House"
 Tuesday, April IS, From Mary and Martha's Home to the Wonderful Stories"
 Wednesday, April 16, From the Annointing to Gethsemane"
 Friday, April Is, From Gethse- mane to Calvary"
 The above addresses will be beau- tifuuy Illustrated with artisticalIy colored reproductions of the paintings of both ancient and modern masters. Through their appeal to both eye and ear they afford an excellent oppor- tunity for everyone to get a clear and connected outline of the Wonderful Life. An interesting feature is the introduction of appropriate choir numbers and hymns by the congrega- ton at different. points in the lecture, in this way harmOnizfng music as well as words with the pictures. In every way this course on the Life of Christ Is made to fit in remarkably well with the memories of the Len ten season and Holy Week.
 The Christian church generally is emphasizing in these days the place and part of men in the church. Dr. Beard will speak tomorrow morn ing on Men for a Mans Church. Suggestions will be given by which men that really believe in the church as the greatest society in the world will be able 10 approach other men with the offer of it's membership good fellowship, and chance for service.
 The Mems class at noon is takipE up interesting episodes in New Eng land church history.

IS N. Y. READY
 TO PART WITH
 ARMY TRAINING?

After three years of compulsory military training for a. boys under eighteen years of age-w whether Tn school or not-New York state seems ready to abandon the unprotta bic eX- pertinent Governor-elect Smith has appointed a Reconstruction Com mission with authority fully to inves- tigate the compulsory military train ing system installed under the Welsh Slater acts and to see whether some other sort of training, like vocational training, might not be substituted for it. That Commission has been holding sessions, hearing witnesses and is reported to be ready to recon mend that vocational training be substituted for military training.
 Among the com pIaints made against the system was that the secondary schools were losing students,-pa- rents preferring to send their boys outside the state where their studies would not be interrupted by military drill; the hardships inflicted upon the boys, some of whom had to go ten or twelve miles. at their own expense, to attend the weekly drills; the fact that in some committees the only buildings large enough for indoor drill were attached to saloons; that the number of ''truants'' was so large that the state authorities could not round them up: and that the value of the physical training was small compared with what might be se- cured In more direct physical train ing.
 The American Union Against Mil itar!sm has endorsed the system es- tablished in England under the new education act by which physical train ing is provided for both boys and grls, beginning in the grades and ex- tending through the secondary schools and colleges without the military fea- lures.
