CANADIAN SINGER, WHO COMES TO HEILIG, SAYS ALL SHOULD SING Winifred Lugrin Fahey. Known at Home as the Melba of the Dominion, Gives Interesting Interview. SOLDIERS PASS IN REVIEW! of Overseas Heroes Are Assured Support in Itegainins Positions Held Prior to the War. BY WILL G. MAC HAT. CAMP LEWIS, Wash.. Jan. 28. (Spe cial.) A positive time has been fixed for the mustering out of the 346th Field Artillery which has just re turned from France. Colonel Franken berg announced today that his men would be out bf the service by Febru ary 6. In spite of the regimental review, which was held this morning and con sumed several hours, 400 additional mon passed before the . physical ex aminers and SO men whose homes are in California have been ordered to en tratin for the Presidio to be mustered out. Because of the illness of Gov present at the first review to be held at Camp Lewis for a regiment that had been "over there." Soldiers Pans In Review. In the absnce of the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor L. F. Hart, President of the State Senate and Speaker of the House Fred E. Adams, together with members of the Senate and House num bering about 150, were in the review ing stand. There was also present Mayor Fassett and several well-known Spokane business men who had been in Olympia on business. State Senator George P. Lampng, from King, introduced the speakers. All three of the speakers assured the returned soldiers of the part the State Legislature would play in safe-guarding the future of the Washington spl diers. They briefly outlined the legis lation pending before the lawmakers at Olympia anh announcUhcy wished the soldiers of the State o "Washington not only those who had been to France, but all those who were ready to go, that the State of Washington was proud of them. Speaker Adams. struck a responsive chord when he said: "We had no place in the State of Washing ton for the slacker while the war was on." . Herves Guests at Dance. "You men must not get the idea that this attitude has been changed one mite by tlfe ending of the war. You men will soon be back Into civil life. You have, come back with a broader vision and better able to hold down the positions you held before you entered the service. Any business man who docs not give you back your old job, give it back to you even at a better salary than you received when you went In the Army, Is a slacker. "You men will brand him as such, and I believe the entire Legislature will stand behind you. I am sure the great state of Washington offers you, and those men who got into the service but did not get overseas, its most heartfelt welcome home. Men, we are proud of you." This evening the men of the 346th were entertained by the women of Ta coma at a reception and dance, held in the Butte building. It was rather an exclusive affair, for only those wearing gold ripes upon the sleeves were al lowed in the hall. BY LEONE CASS BAER. MORE of the true meaning of pa triotism can be happily derived in the uplifting moments of a community sing than in months of schooling, tomes of reading and end less listening to labored lectures, is the opinion of Mrs. J. McDonald Fahey, who is called Canada's Melba. She is Mrs. J. McDonald Fahey in her private life, but to the music-loving world-she is Winnifred Lugrin Fahey, Canada's best beloved singer. Mrs. Fahey arrived yesterday, to be the soloist with the Portland Symphony orchestra in Its first concert of the season, tonight at the Heilig. Mrs. Fahey is Irish only by matri mony, and Mr. Fahey is an Irish-Canadian. She proudly avows her entire allegiance as a .Britisher in general and a native daughter of New Bruns wick In particular, a direct descendant of tho United Empire Loyalists. Mrs- Fahey Is tremendously In ear nest about music, not alone her own singing, but all the music tho world holds. "The real trouble Is that the world doesn't have enough music," she says. Everyone Should Sins. "I wish everybody would sing one little song every Cay. The song is there to sing. The expression of an ideal Is secondary. We must have the motive, the Ideal first. The expression is bound to come and Is certain to be right If only we will allow our per sonal opinion to be of secondary con sideration. "American people, the wonderful American people are music-hungry, and a music wave is sweeping America. It was bmind to conic. Just as other big and wonderful thincs will come, now that the world is being purged of sin and wickedness. We are all search ing for something and, when as in dividuals we have attained a harmoni ous way of living, the purifying process will come out on top. Tho world had (o go through something, and so have individuals. Our musical responsibility I is infinitely greater than ever before in civilization. "Music Is going to be able to give men and women more of vital truths. Whenever I sing in public, or if only for a few friends in a home, I carry the thought in my heart that I want to give them something to take home with them, and not merely a pleasant ex perience of the actual moment I am singing. 1 know from my own experi ence that whenever 1 have been hear ing someone sing happily and sweetly I can do everything lhave to do so much better. It somehow smoothes the way." Voice la Canada-Trained. Mrs. Fahey's big dramatic soprano, of a ranee that amazes musical authori ties. Is a home-grown product. She says she has never been abroad and all of her coaching has been In Canada. "I have never been one of the follow ers ot the cult which says a voice must be stamped by European approval he fore it is good enough to be heard by Americans," she says. "1 believe in en deavoring to make a standard. If one pean't go to Europe, at least one can listen to the infinite that plays in tune." Mrs. Fahey believes, too. that a law should be passed, a nice gentle restric tion on the presentation of oratorios unless sung by musicians who love and understand oratorio singing. "I -have suffered tortures so often in being forced to hear magnificent numbers villainously sung," she says. "Of course I'm not serious really about passing a law like that, but I do think a law should be made prohibiting the public from attending. My ide ais to give a beautiful melody and beautiful tone, and then to sing beautiful songs with an understanding o'f the truthful ele ment which lies in them. It is not especially to my credit for a musician or one skilled in musical knowledge to tell me that my singing reached him. But when a layman, one absolutely un tutored in music or its technicalities, who doesn't know Debussey from De Koven. somes and tells me he under stands my message, then I am content."

The ball was In Wash ington's territory most of the evening, and luck was all that saved the var sity from running up a huge score. Time after time Durno and Jacobberger missed shots that they have been mak ing all season. Durno, Oregon for ward, was high point man, scoring two field baskets and converting seven out of 15 chances on fouls. Francis Jacobberger and Llnd both played great basketball and got their share of toe baskets. Chapman and Brandon held their guard positions in great style. ""Durno played a good de fensive game, although he was played closely by the Washington team. Mclvor and Rockey looked like the best bets that the W. S.

The controversy which ha arisen be tween a number of stale Senators and Mayor Baker over the recently cre ated emergency fund for the benefit of returning soldier and sailors con tinues. The latest feature to the "letter-writing fight centers on answers by Mayor Baker to letters written by Senators J. C. Smith and Walter B. Jones. To the latter Mayor Baker has dispatched a vitriolic epistle and to the former a letter of apology "with varia tions." The two letters follow: January 28. I011. Honorable WaMrr B.

My attempt waa to cast reflections against a jmall coterie of Individual members ot the Sen ate In Salem, which coterie W purport mr to represent the state but in reality i rep resenting themselves. You happen to be one of that small group who mcaMure every thing of a public nature on the haals of what it meana to your political or other future, and having that us your standard you Judge that everyone else la working the same side of the street. It would take more than a Moses to lead you out of the wilderness. I have seen much of your type of politi cian In my day In public life. He In the underlying and direct cause of much grief, much inefficiency in public service, and much that Is the subject of complaint and dissatisfaction on the part of those who have the bills to pay. I'etty rolitirh Deplored. I have found it an invariable rule that any man who atsioan ly wtrfrls pmrt hing for the best interests of the hi ate has the narrow bickerings of t he am all, suspicious minded politician who figures that that person has political or monetary gains for himself in new, to contend with. I expected It when 1 went to Salem with bualnesa people of Portland, and laid be fore the legislature the facts regarding the situation In Portland. And I found It. and in finding It 1 definitely locate.! sivci.il more politicians ot the above-mentioned type. The particular bill that la the sub.lect of the prevent controversy happened to have me as one of its supporters. Therefore, I must have some motive, according to your standard of Judgment. I must he. politically ambit lous ; must want to be Oovrrnor, as you put it. And that la your basts of ac tion. You can see nothing else. f ther is a crying demand and tin urgent need from large numbers of men who are being dis charged from t h Army and who are strand eft In Portland : if the good women of Port land are trying In every way to find some way of helping these men. many of whpm have families stranded here with them, you can see nothing but the fact that some one who Is trying to find a meana of helping tnem nas political amomons.

It is not the function of the city of Port land to grant relief to soldiers from all over the United States out of a small emergency fund raised hero at a series of entertain ments to provide extras for Oregon boys In service overseas.

The mintake in names was not a care less one, becauae T made inquiry into the Identity of the Smith in the case before act ing, and my information was that you and not J S. Smith was the one who made the statements and charges that brought forth the letter from me. Attitude Is Qoeatloned. Furthermore, your attitude regarding the soldier and aallor relief bill in queatlnn was auch as to convince me that it did not have your full support. Thla waa gleaned from the fact that In spite of your Investigation, which I presume yis made, or at least ahould have been made, at Llbarty Temple in Portland, where the soldiers and sailors are reporting and where their Immediate needs are being met. you tried to tlo the hill up In a lot of red tape, sueh aa requiring the soldier and sailor to tell hla life history and explain In detail how, where and why he was without funds, before extending htra any help. That would not meet the needs, as you might easily ascertain by inquiry. Your reference to this being a matter of "small Importance perplexes ma. If you deem It a matter of small Importance far the state of Oregon to neglect or refuse to adequately provide for the Immediate and urgent needs of returning soldiers and sail ors, I am at a loaa to know your mean ing of the word Important. But all this Is past history. There were enough real men In the L.eglnlature to put the bill through, and there are enough to keep it In that poaltlon. and that IS aa far as my Interest and the Interest of the com mittee goes. That I aimed at Smith No. I and hit Smith No. 2 la lamentable. It la human to err and 1 can but reiterate my spology to you. Pierce-Arrow prices will stand TO eliminate misunderstanding, The Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company herewith announces its policy with respect to passenger car and motor truck prices. The prospective buyer who defers his purchase of a Pierce Arrow car in the expectation of lower prices is denying himself the use of this vehicle without any ultimate benefit. The business man delaying the purchase of a Pierce-Arrow truck in the hope of a better price is meantime losing all the earning or economies of the vehicle without eventual com pensating advantage to himself. Present Pierce-Arrow prices are based on material and labor costs plus a moderate profit. There can be no change ' in price till these factors are reduced. Material for cars and trucks must be ordered months in advance of delivery dates. These material prices have not been reduced. Nor Jias there been any lessening of wages. These, fixed by the cost of living, remain on a wartime basis. Therefore, we are prepared to announce that until material now in pVoduction or on order has been manufactured and sold, present prices on cars and trucks will stand. Our expectation is that we will have disposed of such product by October 1st, 1919, and we will maintain our prices until that time. The subsequent course to be followed will be dictated by conditions obtaining then, and will be announced at that time. Quality must be maintained, which makes present prices inevitable until there is a reduction of the fundamentals on which they are based. THE PIERCE-ARROW MOTOR CAR CO. CHAS C.

Aa a boy William Freihofer. of Philadelphia, aspired to own a circus, tie is 60 now and doesn't own the circus vet. but he could if he wanted to: and he does own one of the largest bakeries In Philadelphia. His bakery products have more than a local reputation, and Freihofer himself Is famous aa a salesman. Here's the story, told, in February System, of how. when he was starting out. he made one particularly hard sale: A great department-store had a large restaurant, conducted by a manager so superior that he would not even speak to a new bread man. Here desperate attack and protracted siege failed alike. So the bread man. & feet aVa inches in height, defied the 6-foot manager to keep his bread out of the restaurant and betook himself to the office of the head of the store. A suave but august private secretary sat sentinel. "My name is William Freihofer and I am here on a very Important personal matter." Ire stated to the secretary. That got him by. "We have Just Incorporated." he told the head of the store. "We must have more business and the rash the busi ness brings in. We need this great store above everything else as a cus tomer, and our goods are worthy of your store." "But." Interposed the head of the store, "what's your business?" "Bread the most delicious bread ever baked." "Never heard of it. or of you. Do we use It here?" "No. sir. And after my unfortunate astperlence with your restaurant man ager. 1 am never going to offer it to him again. What I want to do now is to offer It to you a dosen rolls of it." That evoked a wide and wholly sin care grin. "I'll try m." bald the big boss. "You shall have them for breakfast in the morning, at your residence. There followed an order for a &reclal dally baking from a grim and vengeful restaurant manager. Two dvi later he revoked the order on the ground that both bread and rolls were unfit for human consumption. On the heels of this revocation. William Freihofer went through that restaurant with lightning speed, taking evidence from the wait resses and captains. They were unan imous. He came upon the manager. "Your bread's rotten we can't use it." said the manager. "You're dead wrong." shot back Frei hofer. "I've got the word of cry em ploye under you. Would you like to have me go to the head of the store .?' The Freihofer bread came back and every other department-stora in the city Introduced it. The business was es tablished permanently. largely used In war for communication belweMB airplanes and headquarters and artillery work. Rut there is n reason why it should not be available over very much hunger distances.
