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.

WESTERN FUEL MEN MEET
Administrators or tight States Hope
j to Solve Supply Problem.
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."

A LSI A GLt'CK, WHO IS RATED AS AMERICA'S SWEETEST SINGER.
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.)
A delightful "get-together meeting"
was held at the Methodist Episcopal
Church Friday evening, with Rev.
Alfred Bates presiding. A programme
of -oca! and Instrumental music was
given and suggestions were made rela
tive to the work of the new conference
year. The Ladies' Aid Society, of which
Mrs. John Postle is president, served
coffee, cake and grapes.
CO-EDS BECOME KNITTERS
Fashion in Vogue Elsewhere Ex
tends to University ol Oregon.
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.
We are ambitious; we try to be progressive; we like to
sell our merchandise but we say to you freely and without
