8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 3, 1919. ST. PATRICK'S SCHOOL BUILDING IS NEARING COMPLETION Accommodations for 150 Students Are Expected to Be Ready for Opening About September 2 Sisters of Mercy Again Will Be in Charge. THE new "bungalow" school build ing of St. Patrick's Catholic church, Ninteenth and Savier streets. Rev. Charles M. Smith, rectoi. is rapidly approaching: completion and it is hoped to have it ready for school use about September 2. The improve ment will cost about $1200. Father Smith has general charge of the work and 12. J. Oberle is builder and archi tect. The Sisters of Mercy, as former ly, will conduct the classes. There will be accommodations for 150 children. Si. Patrick's church is in the midst of a thickly settled neighborhood and last Sunday it was estimated that 1000 persons attended services there. ' Back in the early '"80s" a small one story structure was erected on what is now Savier street, just west of North Nineteenth, which served as a church Sundays and a sisters' school during the rest .of the week. In 1889 the corner stone of the new St. Patrick's church was laid and about that time the origf nal chapel was raised and another etory built below. This combination, with various alterations, did service as & school until last June and during its long term of usefulness thousands of Portland's citizens acquired at least part of their early training within its portals. In the little wooden belfry of the old school hung a bell which was made in London, England, in 1850, and sent out to the "poor missions" in the then un known west. It bears the inscription of a London firm, is stamped with the year mentioned and is marked: "Pau peres evengelizantur" "For the evan gelization of the poor." The bell came in the possession of the late Archbishop Blanchet, first metropolitan of the province of Oregon; did service in one or more chapels in this state and final ly was relegated to the old St. Patrick's school, from where it accelerated many a. pair of tiny feet during its long period of service. Last June a crew of workmen began to demolish the old structure. Many sighs of regret came from hearts in which earliest and tenderest recollec tions were associated with the venera ble landmark. It was found that much of the heavier lumber and other well preserved material in the old edifice could be nised again in the new struc ture. The new school will be a one-story modern building with ventilation, san itation and heating of the highest standard. It is bungalow style, of frame and cement construction, with pebble dash finish on the exterior. Creeping vines and a variety of plant growth will serve to beautify the building and give it a homelike Tather than a school-like appearance. There will be four large class rooms, a rest room and a corridor. It is L-shaped If desired another wing can be added without appearing to alter the original plan. In rainy weather the children will use the lower floor of the large stone church for a recreation halL Saints and the Mark of the Beast," The programme for the week follows: Mon day night, "The Unpardonable Sin": Tuesday night.

HERE is no reason why the Sun day schools of this county and state cannot be among the best in the country." is the opinion of Harold F. Humbert, general secretary of the Ore gon Sunday School association, who has Just returned from Lake Geneva, Wis., where he attended the annual 10-day session of the training of the Interna tional Sunday School association. There were 845 men and women' from 41 states and provinces gathered to consider bet ter methods of Sunday school work. Mr. Humbert believes much of the growth of the Sunday schools of the nation during the past decade can be traced to the Influences of this train ing school at Conference Point on Lake Geneva where county and state leaders gather each year. "I am anxious that next year a num ber of other county officials go to Lake Geneva," said the state secretary. "I am ready to help local schools to the extent of my ability." The students at Conference Point were instructed by a faculty of 30 men and women, specialists in their field drawn from many denominations and alf parts of the country. Among the instructors were Dr. Walter S. Athearn of Boston university. Dr. M. A. Honline, professor in Bonebrake Theological seminary, Dayton. Ohio; Dr. H. F. Rail, professor in Garrett Biblical institute, Evanston, 111., and Professor H. Au gustine Smith, head of music and pag eantry work in Boston university. W. C. Pearce, of the International associa tion, has been dean of the school from the beginning eight years ago.

M. CORN OIL BECOMING POPULAR : IN MANY AMERICAN KITCHENS Animal Fats Lose Favor for Frying and Olive Product as Base for Salad Dressing to Late Discovery. (- BY EDWIN F. BOWERS. M- D. EVER since the Indians passed the information along to our old Puritan fathers and their equally puritanical wives we. In America, have acknowledged that corn is a wonder fully nutritious and sustaining food. It is only within recent years, how ever, that we have come to realize that tbe oil in the germ of the corn, hither to retarded as a by-product, is one of the most valuable of all the ingredi ents of the corn. For recent experiments have proved that corn oil. pound for pound, is one of the most readily converted and as similated of all fats, and that it has very high nutritive qualities by reason of this fact. 'Corn oil is a true "made-tn-Amerlca" product, inasmuch as its use has been confined largely to America although It is quite conceivable that, before many years, there will be a very great de TOnd created for it abroad especially in the British Isles, in all the northern rountries of Europe, and, perhaps, even in the olive-growing countries them selves. Corn oil has unique qualities, which aive it a great advantage over olive oil in. many respects. For one thing, its r-iethod of preparation preserves it frrm rancidity to which olive oil is so liable, for fermentation processes have bean overcome in the preparation of corn oiL Olive oil, as is generally known, is merely the cil pressed from ripe olives. It undergoes no process of refining or sterilization. So there Is nothing, once he oil has been exposed to the air or even before, for that matter to pre vent the action of bacteria responsible for the development of rancidity. . With corn oil. on the contrary, great care is taken to insure thorough steri'.- zation. The crude, yellow oil. expressed from the corn germs, is purified by filtration and eteamlng. Then the water, protein substances, and glycer ine elements, are removed. In the oil thus sterilized any germs that may have dropped around are killed. Fur ther, tho oil is deodorized, and the fer ments which later on might cause ran cidity are completely destroyed. The result is a. limpid, clear, light yellow colored oil odorless, and with a peculiar and agreeable sweet flavor that satisfies a natural taste. For, un like the taste for olives or olive oil, the liking for corn oil does not have to be acquired. It comes right along, and makes itself "to home" with American palates, anyhow. In mixing" salad dressing It has been found that corn oil is equal to the best olive oil, and very much better than ordinary olive oil and at a cost not to exceed one-half the cost of the highest grade of Imported olive oil. Indeed, many discriminating South Europeans, including Italians, now prefer the sweet bland corn oil to olive oil. Corn oil blends perfectly with the various Ingredients used in "building" a French or a mayonnaise dressing making a perfectly smooth and homog enous combination. One Interesting fact In connection with this Use of corn oil Is that corn ..11 does not congeal as readily as does olive oil. It remains fluid down to temperature of 14 degrees: whereas olive oil becomes cloudy and solidifies at a temperature of S2 degrees. This makes a very great difference, for crisp coldness is one of the first requisites of a salad. But an even more desirable property In corn oil is its correspondingly higher burning point. While butter burns at about 250 degrees, goose grease at 404 degrees, lard at 45 degrees, cottonseed ! oil at 53s degrees, and ouve ou &t 60U, corn oil does not burn until it is heated up to C50 degrees Fahrenheit. It is the low-burning point of butter, lard and other fats and oils, that fills the house with smoke and stench, and gives all the neighbors wireless in formation as to what the family is to have for dinner. The great advantage of a higher burning- point in frying steak, fish, on ions, and other odoriferous foods. Is that the higher temperature used with corn oil makes It possible to cook the food In a shorter space of time, and thereby prevents the tougherftng of the meat, the drying out of the fish, and the diffusion of the perfumes not of Araby from other comestibles. Also, the use of corn oil at its tin- usually high temperature "seals in' Immediately the surface Juices of the food, retaining thereby the flavor, aroma and succulence which would otherwise be lost, or else disseminated all over the neighborhood. The food is cooked In its own Juice, instead oi be ing saturated with burnt grease that would give the food a flavor and odor anything but desirable. This makes it possiDis xo iry oousn nuts, fish, onions, or any food product in one pan, and at one time ir it were necessary without any one prouuci taking up the odors or flavors or any of the other products. This Is carrying American einciency Into the kitchen with a vengeance right into the heart of the frying pan. All of which makes for the conserva tion of life and health also for the in crease of happiness and the satisfaction of being alive. Italian Leave Trip Show Wonderful Sights. Clifford Masson Describes Jonrney Throsgk Southern. Stuisaizie. corps in France for the past IS months, describes his trip to Italy while on fur lough, in an enthusiastic letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Masson, 1501 Milwaukie avenue. With a friend Masson started from Brest on leave April 21, stopping at Paris, Lyons, Marseilles and Nice on their way to Italy. After crossing the French border they took many interest ing sight-seeing tours in Pisa, Rome, Venice, Milan. Florence and Bologna. In Pisa they viewed the famous leaning tower and the lamp of Galileo. Their next stop was Rome, where they visited the Coliseum, the Vatican, the cata combs, the old Roman forum and nu-. merous other renowned points of in terest. Masson writes that he and his chum were in Milan May 1, but their visit was cut short by the military police, who drove them out of tho city, an ticipating demonstrations against Americans. They were in Rome when Premier Orlando returned from the peace conference, but had no particu lar trouble. - Masson gives great credit to the T. M. C. A. for their work in Italy in helping men on leave to see as much of the country as possible. This organization made it possible for him to take many pleasant memories back to his post at Brest, which he describes as "the town that makes Portland look like the Sa hara desert for rain." Masson expected at the time of writing to leave for home August 1.
