Smith, state prohibition enforcement officer, is to explain the law and the facts at the Jackson club meeting at the central library tonight. Mr. Watklns, president of the club, so announced yesterday. . No inference is to be drawn, club members asserted, that there is par ticular reason or appropriateness In having this talk given before a meet ing. of Jaksonian democrats. A large attendance is expected.' THE First Methodist Episcopal church quartet made a quick hit when it sang three selections yester day afternoon at the organ recital, public auditorium. The opinion was expressed that the opportunity is ripe for other church quartets to do good vork at further recitals of the kind. .'Auditors seem to look for the rendi tion of sacred, quiet music usually sung best by church quartets. It is a great field for musir volunteer work, as nobody is paid any remu neration at these recitals. The mod est sum taken at the door only helps in a measure to pay auditorium rent, etc. " The organist yesterday was Mrs. Gladys Morgan Farmer, who played delightfully and quietly selections of charming, restful color and atmos phere organ music chosen from the works of Lemaigre. Gillette. Kinder, Tschaikowsky, Guilmant, Nevin-Le-mare. etc. Her most notable solo was the beautiful, chant-like "Andante Cantabile" from one of Tschai- kowsky's string quartets, one of the best liked and world-famous compo sitions. The vocal quartet, consisting of Miss Goldie Peterson, Mrs. Esther Collins Chatten. K. T. Jones and Wal ter Stevenson, sang with fine expres sion and ensemble, Sterndale-Ben-nett's "For God So Loved the World." "Sweet and Low' (Barnby), and "Carry Me Back to Ole Virglnny," with solo by Miss Peterson. The grand opera artists had not ar rived and a hurry call was sent out for a "rush" soloist. Manager White appealed in vain to the auditorium engineer, to the stage manager and the policeman on duty, and pressed into service Police Sergeant Crane, who used to sing in opera when he was young. "Glad to oblige." phoned the ser geant, and he and his big. powerful bass voice arrived. He sang well, to organ accompaniment, and with splen did effect, the "Armorer's Song" from "Robin Hood," and "Shipmates Mine. Miss Goldie Peterson sang finely in "A Song of Thanksgiving" (Allitsen), and "When the Roses Bloom." The attendance was E41, a slight drop from the average which so far this month has been 838 each Sunday. . Big Realty Deal Pending. CENTRA LI A, Wash., Jan. 25. (Spe cial.)

Charles Langdale, one of the three men charged with no less than six bold ups in the city of Portland, who was held to answer to the grand jury Saturday, also is wanted in Moorhead, Minn., on a charge of robbery, accord ing to a confession he Is said to have made yesterday. After he had been bound over to the grand jury there on a charge of rob bery he and a companion named James Miller escaped from Jail Sep tember 7, last year, according to his alleged confession. It was while City Detective Leonard was running through some circulars at the station yesterday that he came upon Langda'.e's likeness on a circular from Moorhead, under the name of Charles Cross, alias Red. The circular announced a $50 reward for the cap ture of Cross, wanted for first-degree robbery there. When confronted with the circular Langdale Is said to have admitted that he was the man wanted mere. Russell Higginbotham. another of the trio, who is said to have con fessed to having been implicated in at least two of the six hold ub, was married to Elizabeth Chapman at Woodburn. Or., in 1912, according to Information obtained by Lieutenant Goltz yesterday. He Is the father of two boys, Albert. 6, and Richard, o. He is said to have deserted his wife in 1914 and the court at Salem or dered him to pay $20 a month for the support of her and the little boys. She is at present working in Port land supporting the two boys. Hig ginbotham, say reports, had been us ing the name ot Hortman. But little is known of the former movements of Robert Hall, the third man of the trio, who is only 19 years of age. His wife, under cross-exam ination, admitted that they came from California, but would not tell just where, as she said she did not want their people to hear about the esca pade. It was the arrest of Hall In a jew elry shop, where he is said to have previously disposed of a number of stolen articles, that led to the capture of the others. Following his arrest Langdale was picked up at his rooms and later Higginbotham was arrested. FIREMEN TO HAVE SCHOOL Setting-Up Exercises, First-Aid and Rescue Methods to Be Included.

Lester Says Xo Economic Structure Can W ithstand Post War Extravagance. Mother Who Confounds Statisti cians Declares Labor Unrest Is Doe to Extravagance. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 25. (Spe cial.) An army of government clerks, specially trained as computators and investigators, is studying deeply in economics to produce statistics em bracing the cost of living. These men and women do their work thoroughly, leaving no stone unturned to find the lowest possible amount required year ly to meet the cost of plain existence. Something has escaped the com putators' notice. If not. then Mrs. Jennie L. Middlebrook, who lives with her son, Curtis, in a cosy one-story frame cottage at 4110 Interlake ave nue, should today be In an almshouse. an object of pity or subject of charity. If those clerks are right Mrs. Mid dlebrook could not have lived any more than a few months on the aver age of a little more than $-16 a week for the last eight years. Morlxage la Paid. Not only has Mrs. Middlebrook con founded the statisticians by living in comfort, well provided with the es sentials of life, with her son who has received a high 'school education, but a mortgage of $450 and Its interest has been paid. Insurance endowments on herself and Curtis amounting to $52 a year were kept up. Unforeseen expenses, which included a trip east to the funeral of her father, amount ing In all to $848, have been met on $16 a week. The secret of Mrs. Middlebrook's success in the struggle for existence lies in her own study in the philos ophy of making both ends meet and an indomitable spirit to keep her head above the waters. Vareat Laid to Extravagance. lhere is nothing remarkable in what I have done," Mrs. Middlebrook said. "Anybody can do it who really wants to. One cannot be extravagant and do it, of course. Extravagance is the curse of the country today and the cause of the labor unrest. If more persons naa tne good sense our fathers and mothers had in regard to the use of money there would be deal more content in this land and lot more time for enjoying the good things it nas to offer.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL TO ADDRESS CHAMBER OK COMMERCE. Jackson Club to Get Facts on Dry Law Requirements. Enforcement Officer to Explain What Must Be Done With "Pri vate Stocks." w ANT to know just what the new quires with reference to any liquors you may have stored in California or may have stocked in your home or office before the state went dry? A foolish question, of course, for most persons who read this, yet, here and there, according to Elton wat klns of the United States district attorney's office, is a citizen affluent citizen, perforce who is concerned, even worried, about the answer. It develops that there are certain things the private owners of certain "private stocks" must do, Mr. Wat- kins said yesterday, and they should be done quite soon before January 27, the law says. For one thing, th government wants its tax on bonded liquors and the rightful owner is sup posed to do the paying. If he is to make just and adequate payment it follows that a list, more or less Item ized, must be turned in. The whole law as interpreted by Commissioner Roper is. In fact, quite an interesting affair. That authoritative information on the entire matter of liquors held for personal consumption may be given any and all worried owners, it nas ' - ",.' J.

Lester, representing the savings division of the United States treasury depart ment, will be the principal speaker at the members' forum of the Chamber of Commerce today. During the war period he was national director of the speakers' bureau of the Amer ican Red Cross. Before that he was on the lecture platform in lyceum and Chautauqua work and has a national reputation as an authority on community questions and organization.

Mr. Lester was appointed associate director of the savings division. Edward Cookingham, presi dent of the Ladd & Tilton bank and state director in the liberty and victory loan campaigns, will act as chairman at the meeting. "While the department of justice is investigating profiteers and trying to find the facts for the nation about high living costs, we as individuals should Investigate our own personal financial habits to see how much we may be prof iteraiB x upon ourselves In the expenditure of our pay checks." So says Orrin L. Lester, associate director of the savings department of tne united btates treasury, who is In Portland on a tour of the west in the interests of the war savings stamps campaign. Mr. Lester, who will ad- ress a Chamber of Commerce lunch eon today noon, predicts that the war savings stamps sales will be confin ed for several years to come because of their value in teaching the Amer ican public a needed lesson in thrift and conservation. 'No economic structure can perma ently stand the blast of extravagance which has swept this country since the signing of the armistice," he said esterday. "In the face of a national debt which has multiplied twenty- ive-fold in five years, and an in crease of 100 per cent In living costs. cannot afford to interpret a war- ime prosperity as license for peace ime extravagance." Mr. Lester arrived in Portland yes- erday from Seattle, where he lent impetus to the war savings stamp work now being conducted in the state of Washington. He will leave to night for San Francisco.
