SHIELDS WILL SPEAK TONIGHT IN ALBANY Mayor Gilbert Will Officiate As Chairman of Meeting at the Courthouse Tonight. Coming direct from a series of en thusiastic meetings both in Coos May, Southern Oregon and Kastern Ore gon, where crowds of from 200 to 700 persons heard him discuss "Sin gle Tax Kxposed" nightly, the meet ing of Charles 11. Shields, secretary of the Oregon hqual laxation League to he held at the court house in Al bany tonight at 8 p. in., promises to he at tendril hy an unusually large number of persons. The fact that practically every person is interested in the taxation he has to pay is a factor that will tend to compel at tendance. The unusual feature of women be ing invited to attend a political meet ing is ex,citmg interest among the var ious women's organizations as Mr Shields has declared repeatedly that he believes Single Tax and the Gradu ated Single lax are measures in which women are interested even more (ban men. "Single Tax aims a direct blow at the preservation- of the home," he de clared recently. "Single Tax would topple the sanctity of the home just as effectually as Socialism plans to send it to the dust. , "It woidd confiscate both the home and the lot, the farm and the or chard, to Hie state, and if a tax scheme that would do this does not merit the attention of every woman in Oregon, 1 am very much misinform ed." The various women's organizations in Portland have started studying the Single Tax. measure and hope to hear Mr. Shields on a future date. Mayor P. D. Gilbert will be chairman.

New York, October 10. There was a commotion today in artistic, musi cal and dramatic circles following the announcement that Mine. Alma Gluck, the delightful soprano of the Metro politan Opera House, had sued for divorce. Friends, however, declared that the action was not unexpected. .Mnie. Gluck had never entered a theater until she-was married. With their baby girl, Abigail, she and her husband, an insurance salesman, en joyed a little heaven all their own. But during the season of 1910, Mine. Gluck, the loving matron of an up town home, was "discovered" by the operatic managers and "made" by the critics. Fame pounced upon her after the initial appearance at the new theater in the role of Sophie in Mas senet's "Werthetr." For almost a year the young wife and mother, who was also the famed "artiste," struggled between dual loves, the stage and the home. But it appears that the plodding husband did not fit into the new order of things. Friends say the couple simply drift ed apart as if by some tacit under standing. There was nothing abrupt. No shock of that sort was given to the intense artistic spirit of Mnie. Gluck. But the separation was not iced just as much in the Metropolitan circles as 'if the courts had decreed it last winter. Today when asked about it in St. Louis, Mnie. Gluck would not give a decided answer. She thought that Gluck should tell the story. But in New York it was the talk among her friends. o . s WANTED An apprentice at Democrat office. Boy must be over fifteen years of age and willing to learn. o FREE! FREE!
