HENRY JENNING & SONS Moderate Prices - Liberal Credit WASHINGTON STREET AT FIFTH Patriotic Store Attracts Fine Patronage Right From Opening. Keep Step to the Music of the Nation! Buy a Liberty Bond! Then Buy More! MANY ARTICLES NEEDED -THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER SI. 1917. Committee lias Call for Wide Va riety or Useful Tilings, From Cast Orr Clothing to Bird Cage. Contributors Are Liberal. The Red Cross Shop, which was opened last week at 106 Fifth street, is attracting the patronage of a vast number of persons. It is unique in its mission and field. No one, it seems, is too poor to give something for sale, and no one, by the eame token, is too poor to buy there. The list of articles driven reads in places like a list of wedding presents and interspersed amon? table silver, cut glass and tea sets are articles like these; Sixteen pounds of onions, ca nary bird, apron, knitting bag, toys, accordion, furs, clothes brushes, canned poaches, blankets, an electric heater, rare old Knglish china of an exquisite blue and baby shoes. Many Article Needed. "The variety of things brought and sold is endless, so bring what you have and see it it is salable. It is a pleasant idea that things you do not need will ease some wounded boy in France, that something useless to you may help to save a life." This is the message of the leaders in the movement. On its first day the shop took in $162, every cent of which for no ex pense is involved is clear gain. The store committee will be glad to have donated the following articles, which have been called for: Children's outgrown coats and shoes: for these there is constant demand: furniture: canary bird cafe; knitted articles for our soldiers and sailors; two dozen jrlasses of jelly, currant, grape, damson and black berry; oM engravings: unabridged diction r ; ijpewnier to De used in tne chop. The Jolly-Rt.telle Company, the Kil liam Company, and the Kubli-Howell Company have each donated 2000 bulle tins. The Ira Powers Company gave a liberal donation of tables and electrical appliances. H. A. Peebles will come every day to repair furniture. The Benson and Portland hotels will give unclaimed baggage. August Dippel gave the contents of the patriotic win dow which is attracting much atten tion. The old guns, sabers, knapsack and revolvers are relics of the Civil and Revolutionary wars.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Oct. 20. Fuel administrators of Idaho, Wash ington. Oregon. California and Utah are in session here, to formulate a serv ice bureau in an effort to solve the coal shortage in the eight Western states. The headquarters of the bureau will be located in Malt Lake City, with branches in the other seven states. Those present are David Whitcomb. of Seattle; Fred Holmes, of La Grande, Or.: Albert E. Schwabachcr, San Fran cisco: ex-Governor Frank R. Gooding, of Idaho, and V. W. Armstrong, of Utah. "Wyoming is not represented, no fuel administrator having been ap pointed. "There is an abundance of coal to eupply the demand." says one of the fuel administrators. "The only ques tion is as to cars and we do not antici pate any trouble in that direction. We expect, with the co-operation of the producers and the railroads, to very considerably clear up the atmosphere." FIVE FISHERMEN ARRESTED Failure to Erect Monument for Set Nets Is Cliarge.

Lebanon Church Klects Officers. LEBANON. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.'. The Men's Social Union of the Meth odist Church was reorganized at i meeting "Wednesday night for their "W inter's work and they will follow the lines of work of last year in putting on a courss of free lectures during the Winter. The course last year proved very popular with the people. One of the lectures is expected to be by TV. L. Kinley on "Oregon Birds." which is an illustra ted lecture which has been heard with favor in many parts of the state. The officers elected last night for the new year were: President, R. L. Gil son. vice-president: A. I. Cran ciall: secretary, t. A. Reeves; treasurer, J. S. Northrop. ON THE evening of October 31 the most popular American song stress will be heard at the tlei Hg. This statement wil serve to iden tify her to those who have heard her in concert or listened to any of her numerous phonographic records, for Alma Gluck has won her way into the hearts of everyone who has come within the range of her superlatively sweet voice. Among other great singers there is always room for comparison: not so with A.lma Gluck. No one thinks of contrasting her voice with some other rima donna's, or her technical skill, or her particular fitness for this or that school of music, or her choice of songs for an evening's programme. People who go to hear her want the soul of melody that dwells in her incompara ble voice. Madame Gluck is one of the very few eminent singers whose charm appeals alike to the most cultivated taste and to the musically uneducated. Her uni versal popularity is attested by the r very large and constantly increasing demand for her phonographic records. These have found their way into mil lions of homes. In Portland, as else where, there is renewed and eager de sire to see and hear her in person. Her hold upon music lovers of this Nation is too well illustrated by her concert tour last season, when she sang to more than 300,000 persons. At all the concerts, except a few due to bad weather, the theaters or music halls were taxed to their capacity, and- this season's tour thus far has repeated the success. Associated, with Madame 'Gluck on the present tour is fcsignor Sal va. tore de Stefano, an Italian harpist of high attainment, who won first prize at the Royal Conservatory at Naples. One of his most important appearances in this country was as soloist with the Rus sian Symphony Orchestra at Madison- Square Garden, New York. He has won unstinted praise. As on Madame Gluck's former ap pearances in Portland, about three years ago. this engagement is under the management of Steers & Coman. KIDDIES APPLAUD JACK 700 CHILDREN GlESTS OF MAJESTIC AT FILM SHOW. Fifty Boys and Girls From Capitol Hill School, Orphans Home Day rsery Others, There, Seven hundred children, the orphans and wards of various institutions, and others chosen by the social service workers and teachers of the schools, made the Majestic Theater vibrate with their enthusiasm and re-echo with their cheers and applause yesterday morning when the little folk were the guests of Manager J. J. Parker at a presenta tion of "Jack and the iieanstalk. The teachers from Capitol Hill School brought about 50 boys and girls. many of whom had never been to town before. It was a treat unprecedented. The Orphans Home was there, spick and span, with faces radiant with hap piness. The kiddies climbed the bean stalk -with "Jack" and his dog. They entered into his adventures in captur ing the hen that laid the golden egg and when the hero returned to the land at the top of the beanstalk determined to destroy the wicked giant, Blunder bore, the audieuce went wild with joy. At the close, when Jack and the beautiful princess are seen ready to live happy ever afterward," the young guests cheered their host. Mrs. Ferdi nand Reed, of the Portland Fruit and Flower Nursery, marched 38 of the charges of the Day Nursery to the show and back again, and the tiny tots all joined in the applause and demonstra tion at the close of the performance. The majority of those who attended walked to and from the theater, some of them coming as far as two miles or more. Plans for Year Outlined. LAFAYETTE, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.)

UXIVERSITT OP OREGON', Eugene Oct. 2. (Special.) Knitting anions women of the university, as elsewhere, is the rage this year. A useful, pa triotic rage, but nevertheless the rage, and nearly every woman in the univer sity is knitting for a soldier, be he sweetheart, brother, father or Just plain friend. Wherever one may turn on the cam pus their eyes behold skeins of yarn dwindling before the attack of clicking needles that convert the soft, warm threads of various colors into socks, sweaters, neck scarfs, mittens and other articles which will make the cold, dreary days of Army and Navy service a little more comfortable for the boys who have gone from the uni versity. In classrooms the professors have raised their tone of voice that the lecture hour may serve a double purpose and' the knitting goes on. Even active participation in the verbal process of "rooting" at football games has come into vogue among the co eds: their hands are too busy for clapping.
