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? Or shall they put, say, Mae
West l:i pinafores?

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

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.

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.

strations at Montgomery Ward's la
Grande store eacli afternoon this
week, beginning Wednesday. The
classes will continue through Saturr
day.
The classes are under the direction
of C. S. Alexander, well known home
.economist, and sessloni? begin each
afternoon at 2 :30. The classes are be
ing held on .the main floor .of the
store, with chairs provided for the
comfort of the audiences. A display
of modern kitchen equipment pro
vides the lecturer with a suitable
background,
O. S. Alexander,' conductor ot the
school, Is a teacher of long experi
ence. He has( held many similar
clauses in a number of Montgomery
Ward stores In the east and middle
west regions as well as those on the
Pacific coast.
He contends .that the saving of
time and effort In cooking; the abil
ity to set the table .more temptingly
and at the same time at the nU"l
mum cost is one of the phases of
home economic proving of greatest
Interest to the home-naker today.
Alexander Is assisted by H, W. Por
ter, Classes will include Instruction in
the canning of . meats, fruits and
vegetables. Alexander will also dem
onstrate a. now method of cooking
which eliminates the danger of burn
ing the dinner because .of Its ''going
dry.? . .
A special menu has been prepared
for each day's classes and complete
Instructions for the preparation of
the foods listed on the menu will e
given. Valuable gifts have been do
nated by local merchants as well as
national manufacturers, which will
make the classes even more inviting.
veals nothing .by which the disease
can be distinguished. 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. Most recently
an epidemic broke forth In Boston.
The causo of the disease Is un
known, but whatever the cause, it
apparently ls transmitted from in
dividual to individual. Strlot quar
antine practice tends to limit the
spread of the condition.
