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 game was fast, and the Oregon
team kept their opponents on the jump
throughout. The ball was In Wash

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

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

Regarding Benefit Bill.
The controversy which ha arisen be

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.
Jones, State Senate, State Capitol. Salem.
Or., Dear Sir : Annwrhnt your Irt ter nf
January -7. a It apprureU In the pro) to
day, I will cay that your statement that t
have "attempted to cast reflections agatnt
the State of Oregon and Its representatives
In Salem assembled' Is tvron;. 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

It is not the function of the city of Port

January 2. 1910. Senator J. P. Smith.
State House, Salem, Or., Dear Sir: While I
htvA not received the letter you are pur
ported to have written, same having ap
peared In the newspapers, I beg to apolo
gise for having sent my letter to you in -atead
of to Senator I. S. Smith. Will you
please turn It over to the rightful owner
with my compliments.
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.

BREAKFAST ROLLS AID SALE
Philadelphia!! Aspired to Own Cir
cus, but lie Doesn't VctMlc Could.
PHILADELPHIA. 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.

reason why it should not be available
