NEW PASTOR ON BOARD BAPTIST'S
 OCEAN CHURCH

The American Baptist floating church, F'ukuin Maru, has a new pastor. The new sky-pilot is F. w Steadman, who will write Captain before his name as well as Reverend, and will continue the Christianity cruise among the islands of the Sea of Japan, begun years ago by his predecessor, the late Captain Luke Bickel.
 F'ukuin Maru Church has mem bers in every port and instead of their going to church, the church comes to them. It is a Baptist church regularly organized, with pastor, dea- cons, trustees, but the church edifice, instead of being an imposing pile of stone embelished with Gothic arches and heaven-pointing spires, is a trim white ship.
 It visits hundreds of the small isl- ands of Japan, services are conducted in the cabin of the little craft for the members and if the cabin is over crowded the pastor will adjourn the meeting to some building on shore. The ship also serves as a, parsonage and MT. Steadman and his wife make their home aboard
 The Baptists have 33 churches in |, Japan with total membership of 3,651 and as a part of its New World Movement, the Northern Baptist Con- vention plans out the funds raised during it's $1OO,00O,00O drive, from April 25 to May 2, to build fifteen new churches immediately in Japan and to extend the missionary activities to the denomination in that coun- try.

BIOLOGY EXPERT
 TO SPEAK HERE
 AT CHAUTAUQUA

Bridgeport people will welcome Professor Samuel c. Schmucker, of West Chester State Normal, Pa, among the splendid lecturers to be heard in the Chautauqua course week after next.
 He will lecture on Wednesday aft ernoon on t"The Meaning of a Flow er." Dr. Schmucker has developed an unusual capacity for stating the principles of science so simply that any intelligent person can understand them, and so interestingly as to have created for himself permanent place in work of this kind. Although sought by other institutions of learn ing, he has chosen to keep his chair in the West Chester State Normal School in order that he may devote considerable time to popular 1ec- lures of this sort. He has followed his favorite science of biology in field, laboratory and library. and brings to the platform the results gained in all three skilful1y blended.
 In t"The Meaning of a Flower the lecturer puts into simple language the conclusions of science as to why and how the insect cross-fertilizes the flower. This leads up to an explana- tion of why God has given to all his higher children in the animal world and to most of his higher children i'll the plant world two parents instead of one-that is, to the meaning of heredity and variation.
 A man who has heard pr. Schmuck- CT says: There is probably no lectur- CT in the East on scientific subjects who approaches Dr. Schmucker in popularity and effectiveness. His per- sonality, with it's genial, robust man. liness of character, and his fresh vigorous, incisive speech, make his audiences imm ediately friendly and responsive.
 Season tickets for this lecture and twelve other lectures and concerts are now on sale at Chamberlain S Shropshire's store. The reserved tickets are to be exchanged for Ioca- tions on the chart at the First Metho- dist Church next Tuesday morning March 9th.

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Easily and chea1ply made at honne, but 1t beats them all for
 quick results

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds 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 1t really has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and gives imme- diate relief, usually stopping an ordl- nary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 21h ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molassas. honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, 1t tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts 8 family a long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs|oos- 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 croup, hoarseness or bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is a special and highly eoneen- 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 "21a ounces of Pinex" v4iSa full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give ab- splute satisfaction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne Ind.

 M. Ador, who is chairman of the International Red Cross Committee, said there was little probability of rivalry between that organization and the league. He held, however, the league could not yet be considered universal in it's scope, declaring:
 There is something not normal about it, but this matter will arrange itself" Fullest cooperation was promised in behalf of the Interna- alluded to the powerful resources a. the disposal of the league and it's practical program of work.
 William s. Rappard of Geneva, who was elected chairman at the opening of the congress, replied to M. Ador, pointing out there never had been any idea of "inffdelity to the in- ternational committee in the minds Ol l1lOoe 6HSdSSd III IIlS IOI IIldIlOH O4 the league. He declared that "When the league has realized it's purpose, it too, will have become universal"
 Major General Sir David Tender son; former director general of mili- tary aeronautics in the British army and now director general of the league, announced, in submitting his report, that the American and Ital ian delegations had worked out, iii dependently of each other, complete plans for relief work in Russia.

MISS LINDQUIST
 RETURNS FROM
 SERVICE ABROAD
Now Recuperating From Work At Home in Los
 Angeles.

Bridgeporters will be interested in the appended account from the Los Angeles Examiner of the experiences abroad of Miss Clara Lindquist. Miss Lindquist is a graduate of the Bridge port Hospital Training School for Nurses, and is at present residing at her home in Los Angeles. Another point of interest is that staying with her is Miss Elizabeth Oliver, formerly superintendent of the Bridgeport Hospital Training School for Nurses. The article follows:
 Serbian peasants living near Sa- Ionika and GuevegelH after the cessa- ton of hostilities had to be initiated, with considerable loss of life and limb, into the danger of picking up and examining unexploded bombs and shells with which sections near those cities were strewn, according to Miss Clara V. Iindquist, native of this city, who has returned to Los An geles to rest after a. year and half in France and the Balkans.
 "Miss Lindquist. graduate of the bridgeport, Conn.,, Hospital Training School. was in charge of a surgical department in the Bellevue Hospital of New York city prior to her enlist
  She trained at Camp Grant and was sent in July, 1918, to savanay, France. Until December, Miss Lindquist was a nurse on Hospital Train No. 64, which carried convalescent troops from Sa- vanav to Brest where they were load cd for America. While at Savanay she was summoned to a nearby French hospital, where her brother, Lieut. Carl A. Lindquist Co. B, Sixth Infantry, was recovering from serious wounds.
 'UFpon being discharged in Decem- Der from the medical corps, Miss Lindquist enlisted in the Red Cross and was sent to Salonika. Later she was placed in charge of clinic at GuevegeIli, a town of $500 in the worst devastated territory, about five hours travel from Salonika. It was while there that Miss Lindquist, in the absence of doctors, performed daily surgical treatments on victims of unexpected bomb explosions, many of whom had been gathering the wasted ammunition to sell to traders and to envoys of various guerilla forces.
 "The use of money in pre-wal memory with the peasants of the re zion and nothing but commodities O common utility will be accepted b! them in barter, Miss Lindquist said The people rely entirely upon the Red Cross and other organizations fol clothing, medical attention and some tools, in exchange for which they give rough food and labor.
 Miss Lindquist suffered an attack last fall of influenza and later of ma laria, and was forced to leave Gueve

In spite of the great variety of col ors already in vogue, here is new one added to the list It is bluebird blue, and promises to be one of the most popular shades featured in the springtime millinery The brightness and daintiness of this new shade makes it especially appropriate for this season.
 The model shown in the picture is sure to win approval, because it has three elements of smartness. Its color is bIuebird blue; it is made of the rough straw just now so popular, and the brim turns away from the face. Two straw pins form a simple, but very effective. trimming.
