KANSAS IS RANKED FIRST Card Index to Be tTsed to Show rurchase9 by Each Child, in State; Total $123,519.88. SALEM, Or.. Jan. 2. (Special.) Oregon was second among the states of the Union In the sale of treasury savings certificates for November, according- to J. A. Churchill, state super intendent of public instruction, who delivered the principal address at the opening session of the County School Superintendents" association here to day. Kansas ranked first in the cam paign for November. Mr. Churchill, who is Oregon man ager for the national thrift campaign among the school children, urged the county superintendents to use their Influence in making the drive a suc cess. He argued that the campaign i -s not launched to sell treasury se curities on a commercial basis, but primarily to teach thrift among the children of the nation. Mr. Churchill outlined the proposed campaign in the Oregon schools, and told the superin tendents how a complete check of sales would be made at the end of each month through a card system adopted by the government. To every school child in Oregon will be furnished one of these cards on which will be entered all purchases rf thrift stamps from month to month. Through this system, he told the superintendents, the aggregate stamp purchases of the children of any school or group of schools would be available on short notice. Thrift stamp sales in Oregon In No vember totaled 1123.519.88, and this record was betcd only by Montana, Ohio and Colorado. Mr. Churchill also discussed a nnm lirr of matters In connection with the school administration, as woll as touching on several proposed amend ments to the school laws. He said, however, that it was not likely that any of these amendments would be submitted at the special session of the legislature, but would be held in abey ance until the regular assembly in January, 1921. Every county In Oregon, with the exception of Hood River, was repre sented at today's sessions. The con vention will continue until Wednes day or Thursday of next week. Dur ing the morning hours the educators grade papers in the recent school ex aminations held throughout the state, while in the afternoon the business and social sessions are held.

Opera Sung in English Is Introduced in Chicago. Presentation of "Rip Van Winkle" Marks Fruition of Dream Cam Vanlnl Bid Not Live to See Come True. CHICAGO, Jan. 2. American opera, based on folk lore and eung in English, was presented for the first time here tonight when the Chicago Opera company produced Reginald De Koven's "Rip Van Winkle." The libretto is by Percy Mackaye. The presentation marked the fruition of plans of Cllofonte Campanlnl for opera that would be understood by the American public, but the maestro did not live to see his dream come true. In his music, Mr.. De Koven has in troduced grand opera fashioned on light opera lines, with several tuneful melodies. Mr. Mackaye has treated the fa miliar legend of the Catskills with poetic license and has eliminated the famous dog and love for which was the feature of Joseph Jefferson's drama. Love interest is furnished through the introduction of a new character. Peterkee, whom Rip even tually marries. A magic flask belong ing to Hendrick Hudson, the contents of which restore Rip and Peterkee to youth, is another new phase. The title role was sung tonight by Georges Baklarioff with Miss Evelyn Herbert as Peterkee. Hector Du franne. as Hendrick Hudson, was an other figure In the cast. LICENSES FOR DOGS HALT Farther Issuance Awalt9 Test of Constitutionality of Law, No more state licenses for dogs will be issued by County Clerk Beveridge until there has been Judicial opinion on the constitutionality of the law re quiring a state as well as city license. In accordance with this decision a sign was posted in the county clerk's office yesterday informing dog own ers that the county did not want their money at present. District Attorney Evans Is framing a test case to try out the law before further issuance of licenses is made. The state license is $2 for females and $1 for males. With the license the county clerk must furnish a leather collar. The collar costs the county clerk 69 cents and is of utili tarian rather than ornamental na ture, wholly unfit for the average pet who craves an ornate collar with pol ished metal "doodads." The license number is stamped on the collar, making it almost impera tive that the state collar and none other be worn by the licensed dog.
