Sihrery-tongued sons ot Wales is how a critic in Alberta, Can., refers to the chorus of Rhondda Welsh Male Glee singers who will appear at S o'clock this evening at the Armory. ; These singers are now on their American and Canadian tour, and are for the first time available for Salem on the Pacific coast. Press reports are consistently flatter ing,' and every performance Is notable in its power to please. There are 14 singing voices in the group which Thomas Morgan di rects and for which' Professor Emlyn Jones plays. ' "For some reason perhaps It is the climate Welsh people are noted for their fine singing. Both In solo and chorus work the Welsh excel. It seems to be second na ture for them to sing." ' . The above-mentioned j writer continued, adding this, and more "The Rhondda Singers are ad- mirable in every .way collectively, yet they are equally attractive when heard Individually. The so loists heard last night all had well trained voices of a quality posses sing surpassing beauty. -Thet ten--os were particularly fine.; Tenors are - a - scarce musical' commodity at any time and to hear several of outstanding merit all in one chor us is a. fact over which one may well wax enthusiastic and still be pardoned for so doing." The Catholic Daughters of Am erica met last evening to work on articles for the fish-pond which will be held this week-end in con nection with the supper-bazaar which the parish Is sponsoring at the new St. Joseph's hall. - Dinner hosts late last week-end were Mr. and Mrs. 'ElmoS. White Who entertained for their club. Covers of the evening were placed for: Mr. and Mrs. Ray Smith, Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Bates, Dr. and Mrs. F. L. Utter, Professor and Mrs. Morton E. Peck. Mr. and Mrs. El liott Colony, and the hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Elmo S. White. Moving pictures with California background were shown tne guests during the evening. The next club hosts will be Professor and Mrs. M. E. Peck. Siiverton Passes Salem In Memorial Fund Quota The Salem American War Mothers have received a large con tribution from Siiverton. A total of $265 was sent in to fill their quota towards paying for the statue, "Over the Top to Victory," which was necently unveiled here. This report places Siiverton ahead of Salem in the matter of contributions towards the statue fund. The American War Mothers have several hundred dollars re maining unpaid, which is costing them interest. They are endeavor ing to raise the additional funds by various means. HMO PHONES OUT OF S Storm Damage Is Being Re paired By Extra Crews From Portland - A total of 400 Salem telephones were put out of commission dur ing. the recent snow storm and all repairs have been made. The Pacific Telephone & Tele graph company suffered to the extent that 25 . telephone poles were snapped out by the added weight on the wires. In addi tion, 190 different lines were put out of service. The toll lines leading north and south of Salem were badly dam aged, and for. a -period of time, only one toll line was in service between here and Portland.- The toll lines, however, have Been re paired and service has been re sumed, according to the announe ment made by the wire chief of the Salem office. It la stated that 100 Salem families are without telephone service at the present time, but that before the end of the day all ' lines will have been reestab lished, j In order to cope with the emer gency, extra screws of workers from Portland were brought in. They, have been working day and night In an effort to repair the damages, j .... The light service wires .of the telegraph wires fell an easy prey to the storm, for -the moist snow clung to 'the -wires and in a very short ; time become semi-frozen. In turnadded weight -was caused by 'the additional snow that had fallen. Consequently,- the wires , could not stand the strain.

"Mrs. Underwood says you wish ed to see me, Mrs. Graham.", ,,Dr. PetUt,.wUh his professional dignity, in Dicky's parlance, "working overtime," and with only his eyes showing the strain under which he had been working over Tom Chester, came into the library where I had asked' Lillian to send him. "Yes, I do." I answered blunt ly. Please sit down. You must oe exnausieu. "Thank you, I am not tired His tone held the cold, awkward stiffness which repels so many of his acquaintances, and which com pletely hides the real goodness and kindness ot the man. I refused to be impressed, how- ever, and pushed a chair toward him. ,';.- "But I am," I said pettishly. "and it tires me to see you stand ing" ;, ; , . ;v-;. What Madge Asked. : "In that case, of course, I have ino choice,' ; he said stiffly, and sat down In the chair unconscious ly settling Into its comfort with a relaxing movement which be trayed his fatigue. I felt a bit conscious-stricken about bother ing so tired a man, but my un easiness over the meaning of his little speech concerning Dicky was like a barb urging me on, and J went directly to the point "Dr. Pettlt, I must askN you what you meant when you asked me if I were sure my husband was in the Adirondacks?" f He straightened in the chair with the effect of a jerk, and his eves showed, fatigue no longeri I m - had the odd notion that some thing had Just kindled a fire be hind them. 'So you have reconsidered yosur answer," he said, and his tone be trayed the fierce eagerness which was in him. "Not necessarily," I parried.;'! simply wished to know what was behind your question. There must have been something." '. I "There was," he - answered grimly, "but the answer you gave to my question disposed of It. Un less" there came a shrewd look Into his eyes, "unless you wish to reconsider your answer. I In that case I will ask my question again. Are you sure your hus band is in the Adirondacks?" . A Blazing5 Resentment. f - His manner was the offensive, arrogant one of the old-style pedr agogue. I told myself that all he needed was a hickory switch un der his arm to make the picture complete. If I had been my nor mal self. I would have cut the conversation short , at this point. But for that matter, I never would have begun it If my nerves had not been frayed almost to the break in e- Doint bv the strain of the night's experiences. I sum- mnnpd ovprv bit of Will DOWer I possessed to keep my voice from trembling, and answered his ques tion truthfully. ' ; "No, Dr, Pettlt, 1 am not sure," I. said. "I know that he went to visit at the camp of a friend, land .1 naturally, suppose that he' is there now, but I have not heard from him for several days,, so, of course, I cannot say posurveiy that I know he Is there. But tour question suggests that you iave more certain knowledge than I." "I have no knowledge," he jsaid quickly, "only a strong suspicion which I intend to verify." . There was something in j his manner which frightened me. I have always felt that under Her bert Pettlt's frigid exterior there, were volcanic, dangerous possibil ities, and the smouldering fires of his eyes, and the intent frowning look he bent uponi me, confirmed that ancient Impression. I remem bered his old dislike of Dicky. and suddenly, overfwhelniingly there came to me a sense of my disloyalty to my absent, husband, RUB PAII1 OUT OF RHEUMATIC JOINTS For 65 years, millions nave rubbed soothingpenetrating St. Jacobs Oil right on the tender spot and by the time they say Jack Robinsonout comes the rheumatic pain and distress.

With one long step he crossed to me, and taking me by the arm -not urgently, but with a' firm grip from .which I could not es cape he put me back into my chair and towered above mei with his white face like a mask from which his eyes fairly blazed. ' "I allow no one to play fast and loose with me!" he said grim ly, outraged egotism and some thing more ; fiercely primitive in his voice, "and you will hear now what I disliked telling you. ! I do not know this positively, but am cursedly sure that wherever your husband Is, he is not at that Adirondack camp, and that Claire Foster knows where he Is better than either you or I."
