GOTHAM GOLDTO SINGER MISS LOTELAXD, WHO WILL BE AT HEILIG, WARNS GIRLS. Money, Influential Friends and Ex ceptionally Good Voice Needed, She Says, for Success. t If you would succeed as a singer in New York City you must have a good voice, a reasonable amount of money and influential friends. Even then you '1''" " : I ' ' J MIks XiO Deaca Loveland, New York Soprano, Who Slnars In Concert at the Helllor Monday 'Night. will have difficulty in getting engage ments from concert managers and agents without paying extortionate fees. So said Miss Lo Desca Loveland, -the noted New York soprano, yesterday. Miss Loveland appears in concert at the Heilig Theater Monday night, under the direction of Mrs. Warren E. Thomas and Milton AV. Seaman. Miss Loveland sang at the Heilig last season with pro nounced success, so much so that public desire Is expressed to hear her again. Miss Loveland is quite an authority as to musical conditions in New York City, her home. Too many young sing ers think that after three or six months' tuition all they have to do to succeed and win dollars in New York is to go there and be received as conquerors, she says. "Far from it," says Miss Loveland. "I am naturally an optimist and look on the bright side of life, but I wish to speak out about musical New York. By so doing people's eyes may be opened. Some parents may be inter ested in what I have to say. To suc ceed vocally in New York means that the applicant must have an unusually good voice, money to spend and influ ential New York friends. And when the aspirant has had her voice trained one who 'has been there' Is tempted to ask: 'Is it worth while? "If the aspirant is rich, of course her pathway Is easy. But I mean, spe cifically, the girl who has to make her own way. When you hear glittering announcements of big salaries paid to singers in New York for appearances in grand opera and concert, cut in half the sum mentioned, usually, and you will arrive nearer the truth. In vacancies for a position as soprano in a New York church there are usually from 75 to 300 applications. The pay is about ?500 per year. Sopranos in church choirs get the highest salaries and tenors next. In a leading New York church an adver tisement was printed recently for i soprano, and there were 350 applica tions for a position worth $1200 per year. The choirmaster said afterward 'It was a shame to hear these 350 singers sing -one after another, when we on the inside know that the se lected applicant will be one already chosen by a member of a family con nected with the church in question.' Sure enough events proyed he was cor rect." AUTO IS GIVEN TO PASTOR . Rev. Henry Marcotle, Keturnins From Trip In East, Is Honored. Among the many happy things that have happened during the 11-year pas torate of Rev. Henry Marcotte, D. D., pastor of the Westminster Presbyte rian Church, was the formal presenta tion to him of an automobile from his congregation on his arrival from the East, where he went to address the church erection and " home, mission boards. Dr. Marcotte arrived home Saturday, and that same evening a committee composed of Dr. O. W. Da vidson and Dr. Beard and their wives called at his home and nsade the pres entation of the automobile so he would receive the gift before Sunday. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE AR MENIAN RELIEF FUND. The campaign fund for the relief of the Amenlans perishing from starvation and ill-treatment in Asia Minor will be continued through this week. Oregon's share of the fund needed to handle the relief work is estimated at $15,000. The local committee is not making a personal canvass, but, calling the attention of the pub lic to the pressing need, is urg ing all to send in at once as large amounts as they are able to give. Checks should--be sent to Ben Selling, treasurer of the committee. The suspension of mail deliveries yesterday, owing to the holiday, made It impossible for the committee in charge of tne Armenian relief fund campaign to form an estimate of the first day's response to the appeal for contriDutions lor the aid of the people who are being exterminated in Turkey. Indications, however, were that the response to the flood of letters of ap peal that had been sent out Monday Is to be as strong and as prompt as it has been ever when the call has been sent out to the people of Portland in behalf of suffering fellow men. "It is unthinkable that the people of Portland will not raise the amount which is needed- from them for this work," said Ben Selling, treasurer, of the committee. "We have been stirred and our sym pathies awakened to liberal giving for the help of sufferers from floods and famines many times, but never has the occasion been one of such tremendous and pressing need as now. "It is a matter of a million and a quarter of people, whose lives depend absolutely upon the American people. Unless aid comes to them from us, the remnants of the Armenians who have thus far escaped butchery will be wiped out by famine and disease." More than 750,000 Armenians perished in the massacres, according to infor mation from Ambassador Morgenthau. of Constantinople. The survivors, numbering 1,250.800, have been driven from their homes by the Turks and dispersed into the desert and into re mote frontiers, where they are dying faster from sickness, exhaustion and starvation than the soldiers are dying in the trenches along the battlef ronts. Men, women and children, the old and the young, are Involved in the de struction that is pressing down upon tnis earnest branch of all the Chris tian races. Ambassador Morgenthau's dispatch says that many groups of the wander ers are subsisting now on grass and herbs such as they can gather and that there is no prospect of immediate re lief from any quarter, unless from the people of the United States. It has been estimated that $1 will care for 10 people in Armenia for a week. If Oregon responds to the ap peal, as it is believed that her people will respond. It will mean the saving of 15.000 or more Armenians from death.

Poor Quality of Apples Declared Have Been Dumped Into Mar kets, Canaille Disaster. Californians complain that the North west has been shipping wormy and scabby apples into that state, to the injury of southern growers, inasmuch as the latter are required by law to keep their packed apples up to a cer tain standard. Notice is given by the California authorities that unless the practice is stopped drastic action will be taken. George P. Weldon, actiirg State Com missioner of Horticulture at Sacrarmen to, writes to the Northwestern Fruit Exchange: "I wish to call your attention to the fact that the marketing of California apples packed under a standardization act. passed by the 1915 session of the Legislature, was greatly Injured by the shipment into California of exceedingly poor grade, scabby fruit from the Northwest last season. The Watson ville Apple Distributors packed all their best apples under state label, in ac cordance with the terms of the act. "To them your shipments have meant little short of disaster, and if, each senson, the Northwest were allowed to Famous Lion Collars Here Only in Portland ""DEADY-MADE" is a misnomer for Kuppen- heimer clothes.
