THE SUNDAY OREGON! A??, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 7. 1019. 1i OREGON CALLED ON TO AID STARVING Terrible Conditions In Ar menia Are Described. SYRIA IN SAME PLIGHT State Director ITantlsakcr Returns From Denver Conference Con vinced TTrgencjr Is Real. J. J. Hanflpaker, slat director for the committee of near east relief, has Just returned from Denver where a conference of directors and promi nent workers In the cause of the Ar menians and Syrians was held, and where accounts of the terrible Con ditions exiRtlng- In the near east were given by men who had been on the scene recently. "I went to Denver because I wanted to be sure and ftet myself right re garding conditions," said Mr. Hand Baker. "I had told the stories of suffering, starving: orphans of Ar menia so often and it had become a part of me, and I wondered if It possi bly could be true that thousands still were In such an unfortunate state. So I went and heard news fresh from Armenia and Syria and I found all the horrors still exist; people are still starving: and although we have some splendid workers there and thousands of dollars have been given, there still is a vast amount of work to do. "One man. Dr. Henry H. Riggs, whose wife and child died In Ar menia, cabled us, 'Reduction In appro priations necessitates turning out many orphans to starve as winter be gins, besides thousands already re fused. We cannot do it." Oregon must hear such an appeal," concluded Mr. Handsaker. Christina Offering Asked. The special appeal at' this time Is for Christmas offerings to be given to the Armenians. Every Sunday school In Oregon has been asked to make an offering. Every man, woman and child who has something for which he may be thankful is called upon to make a thank offering. The Naznrene church at Tillamook with but 60 members has made its Christmns pledge 1360: the Christian of the same town with 250 members will give $555 and maybe more, and the Methodist Episcopal will donate at least $S00. . A young girl whose mother died recently went to Mr. Handsaker with $100 of her savings which she gave to the Armenian relief fund as a me morial to the mother. "To save a life will be a better memorial to my mother than a little mable slab would be," said the plrl. Another girl, a memher of tiie Swedish Daptlst church, who heard Mr. Handsaker speak, took three $20 bills, her sav ings, which she donated to the cause. Mnur Double Pledges. At the conference of state directors many doubled their pledges after hearing the accounts of suffering and slitrvation. Mr. Handsaker didn't make uny pledge except this, "Oregon will not refuse the cry of these un happy people. 1 will not promise a greater sum. but I am morally cer tain we will send It." Mr. Handsaker will speak 1a the Whlto Tinple Sunday school this morning. Ir. K. C. Murgotten. for trn years an Episcopal clergyman of IWTkeley. chaplain of the Elks and but ft few days ago returned from Ar menia, Syria and Egypt, will be in I'ortlanrt tomorrow and Tuesday and will address the Episcopalian and Biiptlst clergy, and probably the I: tary or other clubs. Mr. Handsaker declared that the story, "Tlio Land of the Stalking Death." in the National Geographic niagassino, is arousing great . interest any sympathy for Armenia, and the stories brought back by workers in the far-away land and the cable grams for help are stirring America as never before. Tt is a case of sending money, food and help now. or grave diggers later on. says Mr. Handsaker. Cat Show Held to Get Fund for Free Dispensary.

Adv. m FREE Music Lessons It is human nature to buy the most for the least money, but too often "bargain hunters" overlook quality in scan ning price-marks. The pride I take in the fact that I have always given my patients "better dentistry for less money" is in the BETTER DENTISTRY, rather than in the lower price. The savings possible in having dental work done in this office are due to the EFFICIENT BUSINESS SYSTEM in other words, we save in our methods of doing busi ness NOT IN TIIE MATERIAL USED OR SERVICES RENDERED. Don't ask prices of a professional man until you first ask HOW CAPABLE HE IS. A high price might frighten you away from a really high-class dentist or doctor, while a low price might arouse your suspicions unjustly. Ask your friends and neighbors about the quality of work I have been giving them, the precautions taken against insanitary conditions; the skill of my staff of operators; the service rendered; the absence of pain. Draw your conclusions from this kind of evidence. Let the price I charge come as a pleasant surprise. The QUALITY of work done in this office will never deteriorate the price may change if "cost of production" makes it necessary, Irot not otherwise. Be assured that here you are getting just as good den tistry as your money will buy ANYWHERE, and almost invariably for less than you would pay elsewhere for work at all comparable.
