MINUTE MEN TO SUPPORT TAG
 DAY

Every theatre and moving picture house in Bridgeport will be covered tomorrow night by the Four Minute men who will attempt to force home to the members Of the audiences the work of the Bridgeport Protective Association in this city, and the need for supporting its tag day on Satur- day to the utmost.
 William B. Boardman and Attor- ney Thomas M. CulHnan, who are of fcers of the organization, are in charge of procuring the services Of the Four Minute men.
 Several hundreds of posters for the drive were distributed yesterday in the factories and stores of the city. Because of the great work which the association has done among the girls and women of these places as we'll as among those who have come to this city to procure work in the industries here, il is expected that contributions from the workers in Bridgeport will be generous.
 Compared with amounts which have been subscribed to foreign re- iefs, the sum asked, $6, 600. is small.
 The work of tagging on Saturday will be done by hundreds of promi- nent women who have gladly volun- teered their services. All the fac tories and every district will be coy cred.

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup EAsiIy and eheeply made at home, but it beats them all for
 quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thrds of the money usually. spent for cough prep; arations, by using this well-known old recipe for making cough syrup at home. It is simple and cheap but it really has no equal for prompt results: It takes dfate relief, usually stopping an ordi- nary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 21a ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into pint bottle and add plain grarulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified Inolasses, honey, or corn syrup instead of sugar syrup. Either way, 1t tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts a family long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throAt and lungs-loos- ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, spas modic eroup, hoarseness or bronchial asthma
 Pinex is a special and highly eoncen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, known the world over for it's healing effect on the membranes.
 Avoid disappointment by asking your druggist for "2A ounces of Pinex" with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give ab- sb1ute satisfaction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co, Ft. Wayne Ind.

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN ON
 COMMITTEE
Have Same Rights As Male Associates In General
 and Executive Bodies.

Atlantic City, Oct. 16. - Having been the first of the major political parties to invite women into full part nership in the management of party affairs through associate membership in the full national committee, the executive committee of the Demo- cratic National Committee went a step further at its recent meeting here when 1t decided to ask the wom- en to 'sit in'' at meetings of the ex- ecutive body.
 Under a resolution unanimously ap- proved, Chairman I-omer $. Cum nings was authorized to appoint seventeen women from the various geographical divisions of the country to meet. with the seventeen male members of the executive committee. It was also decided that at the forta- coming meeting of the full national committee, at which the time and place of holding the next Democratic national convention will be deter mined, the woman associate in each state will have the same rights and the same powers as her male col league and an equal vote as we'll. Should the two representatives of a state differ, that state will be record ed as casting a half vote each way.
 Prior to taking this unprecedented action, the executive committee adopted the following resolution, pro- posed by John T. Barnett, of Col orado:
 Be it resolved, That it is the sense of the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee that in those states where the national suffrage amendment has not been ratified the legislature should be called into session at once for the purpose of ratfying the proposed amendment to the Federal Consti- tuition, so that the women of the United States may have the privilege Of the franchise in the Presidential election of 1920"
 Up to the present nineteen states have ratified the suffrage amendnen The sanction of thirty-six states is required before the amendment may be operative. It was in the hope that action by the remaining states may be expedited that the executive com mittee went on record in favor o1 special legislative sessions in tha various states.

PIANIST TO COME HERE
 SOON

When Arthur Ruhenstein will make his appearance in Bridgeport under the auspices of the Wednesday Musical club in February, local music lovers will have an unusual oppor- tunity to hear one of the most color ful and versatile artists of the music world. Wherever N1r Rubinstein had been heard, his audiences were thrill ed with the great nagnIhcence and mastery of his art. He has been heard in various cities on the Euro pean continent and in South America. where his glory as Q famed musician was heightened. His appearance in New York city on several occasions has brought the most favorable ac- counts of critics.
 Gilbert Gabriel In the Evening Sun of last February describes his work as follows:
 From the first his technique was fabulous; he is an absolute master of the musical contrivance and the fla cility with which he uses it is well nigh breathIess. The 'Waldstein Sonata of Beethoven came at a some times quickened tempo, but herein Rubinstein's characteristics came un- reservedly to the fore. For herein, if anywhere. he could prove the lyric quality upon which he seems to build his conception. Lyric, and the stress upon delicateness-and yet (which is the notable part of ft) Q tone as large as all Carnegie and a big, virile way of gaining it. He stocks 1t with romantic thought as well, and an in- tensely musical imagination urges him to make poetry, though not mere rhyme of eethoven's phfloso- phies.
 His Albeniz was as notable a playing as that composer has had here. But he reached the summit with the Liszt's Twelfth Rhapsody, of which his playing was magnificent ly brilliant. He is of q sort to be popular quite Immediately
 The Wednesday Afternoon Music club is to be congratulated in it's ability to procure such wonder artists for its members. MT. Rubinstein's appearance here is looked forward to with much eagerness by the mem bers.

WOMEN WORKERS.

Some women have been overambi- tious, and, at the expense of their health, have filled places once occu- pied by men. Every woman who, because of overwork, has brought on some ailnent peculiar to her sex, should depend upon Lydia F. Pink hams Vegetable Compound to restore her health and strength, as this remedy is now recognized the standard and has restored multitudes. Adv.
