The clocks have been in opera ton since the present municipal building was erected. During the past few years much trouble has been experienced with them. This was due to the fact that the mas ter clock in the basement of the City Hall was practically worn out.
 For the past week or so work men have been busy going over the master clock and installing new parts to take the place of those worn out. Because of the poor con- dition of the master clock it has been difficult for City Hall Electri- clan John FitzGerald to keep the various time pieces regular.
 The clock in the tower of the City Hall is also controlled from the master clock and it has very aften been noticed that the clock has been stopped or showing the wrong time. This, also, was due to the poor condition of the master clock.
 Now, after IT years of service. the master clock is in excellent working condition and the various office clocks and the tower are ex- pected to broadcast the correct time.
 Incidentally, the man who install led the new faces on the clocks in the offices of the municipal build ing is the same man who worked on the installation work IT years ago. There were only a few "old timers" in the City Hall who re- | ll

CONGRATULATIONS ARRIVE FROM IRELAND
CHICAGO IN THE | MOST DESPERATE OF SITUATIONS
3O,OOO School Teachers, Their Pupils and Par= ents in Monster Mass Meeting of Protest

Chicago, Jan 5.-CUP)-The na- tion's second largest city to-day be- gan battle to rep1enish an empty treasury by state aid if need be, spurred by demands voiced by 3O,- 900 school teachers, pupils and their parents in a monster mass meeting.
 Plans were announced for school classes by radio if the city's appeal to-day to the state legislature re- converting at Springfield fails, so desperate is the city's financial plight.
 For the first time since Chicago builded on the mud flats of Lake Michigan some of the schools in the metropolitan area already have been closed because of lack of funds.
 And the teachers have gone pay less for months.
 "1 am not an alarmist,' Mayor Cermak told the teachers and their friends last night. But" he add : ed, II am frank to say that unless we act immediately. there is no telling where we may end"
 As he talked in the huge sports arena where the republicans will nominate their candidate for presi- dent next June, the city's broken down tax machinery groaned its threat of municipal bankruptcy. Even as civic leaders heartened the teachers, many of whom said carfare to the meeting meant scrimping on their lunches. plans

Stubborn Coughs
 Ended by Recipe,
 Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of break ing up stubborn coughs due to colds. It takes but moment to prepare, costs little, and saves money, but it gives real relief even for those dreaded coughs that follow severe cold epidemics.
 From any druggist, get 2E ounces of Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. Thus you make a full pint of better remedy than you could buy ready.made for three times the cost. It never spells and tastes so good that even children like it.
 Not only does this simple mixture soothe the intlamed throat membranes with surprising case, but also it is ab- sorbcd into the blood and acts directly upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding the whole system in throwing off the cough. It lOosens the germ-laden phlegm and eases chest soreness in way that is really astonishing.
 Pinex is q highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosOte, in refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of severe coughs and bronchial irritati0ns.
 Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

Legion To Honor
 Past Commanders
Beginning January and Ending April }, Some One
 Hundred and Fifty Thousand Men Will Be HOnored

10000 posts will receive the pro- gram in their own meeting halls. The winners among the past com manders will be announced. at that time, together with the names. of the past national and department commanders for the victorious ad- ministration.
 One hundred and fifty thousand bulletins are being prepared by national headquarters to accom- pany the letters to the various past commanders, and details are being completed for the nation- wide drive in honor of the former leaders of the legion. with their active participation during the week designated for their respective ad- ministrations.
 Anyone who was comma n d CT or vice commander under Ralph r. (Dyke) O'Neil, last year, should immediately begin making plans for doing his share in honor of his former chief. The time Is short for 0 complete setup. The same is true for those who served under | Mir Bodenhamer. To counteract the disadvantage of time, is the fact that perhaps the later admin istrations can be more readily con- tacted than those of the former years. The weeks designated, and the administrations named for them, follow: O'Neil-January 4-10.
 Bodenhamer-January 1l-17.
 McNutt--January 1924.
 Spafford-January 25-3l. SayaEe--Februnrv 1-7 McQuigg-February S-14. Drain--February 15.21. Qulnn--February 22-2S. Owsley--February 20-March 6.

 Leaders fear instant action by the legislature may come too late. Announcement was made that reg ular classes would be conducted by air for the 500, 900 school children that would be thrown into an en- forced vacation.
 Cooperation of parents would be enlisted that the children might not be too heavy losers through long period of idleness. For families without radios neighborhood groups would be formed.
 Schools of three suburbs includ- ing rich Glencoe, home of million aires, closed yesterday. Last night nine Chicago night schools remain- ed dark.
 Only the sacrifice of 14,000 teachers serving with only six weeks pay since last April that the city's children might not lose their heritage of education has kept Chicago's own schools open.
 To these teachers, bearing the obvious mark of need in their last years hats and well-worn coats, last nights meeting was a testi- monial and pledge that utmost ef- fort would be made to bring them relief.
 :. The teachers, among whom hun ger and poverty and at least one suicide had been reported. are owed 0,000,00O. The firemen and police who guarded the great hall against a rumored communist dem onstration have not been. paid for month. Securities of various Cook county taxing bodies are in default. Work has ceased on build- ing projects.
 More serious developments ap- preaching disaster are feared.
