Ity Itoli tj J n Coo iim HOIXYWOOOD To say that Hol lywood Is worried over the prevalent campaigns against its product 1b aa much understatement as to dcclaro that a few people recently have been unemployed. The Catholic church and various women's clubs have been at the helm in agitation for "clean" pictures, and their activities have stirred producers to the gravity of the situation. Hollywood's attempt at a general 'house -cleaning t home" ha-j been in progress for several months, but various broadsides from pulpit and club platform have enhanced the ex citement. - r One definite reaction Is that more and more frequently appear Instances, of scenes being lifted bodily from' productions, of completed pictures, being sent back to studios after, surveillance by the "Hays office" lor retakes or deletions. J lays AxilKtnnt Active Tills process has gone on with quiet celerity for some months, notably j since the energetic Joiwph I. Brcen, assistant to Will Hays, was put In I charge of this branch of the produc crs' self -regulatory organization.. But since the exhibitors convened here, and since church and club ac tivity ratified exhibitor slut omen In on tho need for "cleaning up," there has been evidenced much keener pro ducer Interest In the matter. With virtually all campus agreed that something must be done, there are still various opinions In the trade on the effect of the anti-movie prop aganda. ; For Instance, the idea that citation of certain pictures Dg "unfit to be seen'' will send patrons to see for themselves Is occasionally expressed Jn most quarters there Is the reali zation that stronger forces are light ing for tho opposite result. Tho real danger, as another school sees It, is that the agitation will ter minate In binding and hampering censorship laws: i Adolf Zukor expressed tho senti ments of many when ho protested against the1 damning of all films for the sins of the few. Complicating the studio problems. even where there Is a dlKpoaltlon to pacify tho reform elements, is the largc production schedule. It Is ar gued that a plant seeking - a variety of subjects for from 05 to 70 Illms year is hard put to find that many .without touching .at least the borderlines of crime and passion. And then, the argument goes, there are studios with "sexy" stars, ' who need "sexy" stories or e-re lost, Shalt these stars be dropped as the -cam paigners perhaps might wish regard less of tho huge studio Investments n them?

GILL ADVOCATES NEWUNICAMERAL LEGISLATIVE BODY ROSEDURO. Ore., June 12 (JP) Advocating abolishment of the lower house of tho Oregon state legislature local' option by precincts In the con trol of Intoxicating liquor, imposition of heavier taxes upon the wealthy to cquallzo wealth, and stress upon in creased consumption rather than cur tailment of farm products. State Mas ter Ray W. Gill of Portland, this afternoon addressed the Gist conven tion of the Oregon state grange meet ing in this city, ... He also urged the grange - to -take more oggreBslve action with "regard to co-operative marketing and suggested amendments to the initiative and ref erendum laws. Transportation, bank ing, tariff, tourist travel, old-age insurance, Btate controlled gasoline prices, dairying and other subjects were touched upon In the annual message, ; "I find a growing sentiment," he declared In fuvor of tlie elimination of the house of representatives In our stato legislature. There is much argument in favor of this plan. It would prevent passing the buck and would fix the responsibility for legis lation." Charging that prohibition was re pealed on promises that temperance would be promoted, he declared that liquor, interests "do not ovon stop at debauching the youth of our land." He proposed that Oregon reduce the number of - liquor stores, halt de SU E;9S VAN-ENGELEN CO.

Commenting upon the agricultural adjustment act and tlie national re covery act, the grange master declared that while crop restrictions must be used, the farmers of America cannot be forced to submit to regimentation of their crojs and that the problem must be approached from a different angle. j)jSS55- Health t 'mi: DKVII.'S GJUI There Is a disease which, though far from common, apparently is epi demic in nature and is queer enough to deserve attention. This disease, technically designated as epidemic pleurodynia, is more ' commonly known -by the more descriptive name, the devil's grip. The disease i-3 characterized by an abrupt onset of excruciating pain in the cnest and in the pit of the stomach. The pain becomes aggra vated by tho movements of breath ing and by muscular, movement in the trunk. There Is tenderness over thp $ltes of pain. Fever Is associated with this condition, the temperature ranging from 100 degreed to as high as 105 degrees F. The disease occurs In healthy In dlvlduals In the younger age groups and affects botli sexes. It Is common in the summer months and several cases may develop In the same fam ily. The sufferers invariably recover, but thoy may be subject to several paroxysmal attacks.

The patient, however, does behave as if he were literally in the devil's grip. Since It hurts tcTjnove, the sufferer fixes his cheat and his body. Attacks may last from a few to thlrty-slx hours. The patient may have tout one seizure or paroxysm or several a few days apart. The site of pain may shift from one part of the body to the other. The disease Is epidemic In char acter. The first reported outbreak took place in Virginia In 1888, but slnce that time epidemics have been reported in Now .York City, Philadel phia, Virginia, New Jersey, Tennessee and in Massachusetts.
