Criticism of Tour Arranged for

APOLOGY MAY BE ASKED
Iter. George Darsie Is Reported to
Hate Prefaced Sermon by Class
ing Party on Highway Trip
as "Sports and Offal."
Vhen the Rev. George Darsie, pastor
of the First Christian Church, com
mented harshly upon the excursion of
Portland salesgirls over the Columbia
River Highway on Sunday. April 16,
he "started something."
, The Portland Ad Club and allied or
ganizations of the city, under -whose
auspices the excursion of salesgirls
from Portland stores was run, have
decided to ask Rev. Mr. Darsie for an
explanation of what he meant when he
spoke in rather bitter terms of the trip
and those who took part in it. -
From his pulpit, on the morning of
April 15. Rev. Mr. Iarsie prefaced his
sermon by saying', relative to observ
ance of Sunday, that those who were
that day enjoying an outing on the
Columbia River Highway were '-'the
sport.-, and offal of the city."
Fighting words, these, and if anyone
save a member of the clergy had spok
en them it is more than probable that
some of the men behind the plans for
the excursion might have called him to
personal account.
Club Members Indignant.
When members of the Portland Ad
Club and other local bodies active in
promoting the excursion, -whose object
was to give hard-working- women and
girls of the city an outing on the only
day of the week they could make the
trip, heard of Rev. Mr. liarsie's stric
tures, they waxed exceeding wroth, as
the saying is.
Last Friday directors of the Ad Club
met and the quotation from Mr. Dar
sie's sermon formed the text for the
discussion that followed. The directors
decided to take a firm position in the
matter, holding that the remark of the
clergyman was untrue from any stand
point and utterly uncalled for.
' The directors decided to lay the mat
ter before the other organizations of
t.. city that had Joined in promoting
the excursion and to suggest to these
bodies that they take some sort of
action in the form of a protest and a
demand for an explanation. It is de
clared to be very much against the
desires of all these bodies to have their
leading members characterized by Mr.
Iiarsie as '"the sports and offal of the
city."
Form of Protest Viideclded. x
Representative organizations of the
city that 'oined in carrying out the
excursion were the Portland Ad Club,
Chamber of Commerce, Progressive
Business Men's Club, Rotary Club, Au
tomobile Club and members of the
Realty Board also assisted.
Just what form the protest will take
Is not yet known, as the subject is now
being taken up with the various bodies.
Plans for a retraction or explanation
from Rev. Mr. Darsie may fail, how
ever, as. he is to leave the city irext
week to accept the pastorate of the
First Christian Church at Lawrence,
Kan., in response to a call there.
He will occupy his pulpit here for the
last time next Sunday. He resigned
from his pastorate here recently and,
although urged by his congregation to
reconsider and stay In Portland, he
declared he would like to remain here,
but had agreed to go to Lawrance and
accordingly would do so.

To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises
Persons) suffering from catarrhal
.deafness And head noises will be glad
to know that this distressing affliction
can usually be successfully treated at
home by an internal medicine that in
many instances has effected complete
relief after other treatments have
failed. Sufferers who could scarcely
hear a watch tick tell how they have
had their hearing restored to such an
extent that the tick of a watch was
plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear. Therefore, if
you know of someone who is troubled
with head noises or catarrhal deafness,
cut out this formula and hand it to
them and you will have been the means
cf saving some poor sufferer from per
haps total deafness. The prescription
can be prepared at home and is made
ad follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 ox. Par
mint (Double Strength). about 75
rents worth. Take this home and add
to it i pint of hot water and 4 oz.
of granulated sugar: stir until dis
solved. Take one tablespoonf ul four
'times a day.
I'arraint is used in thrb way not only
to reduce by tonic action the inflam
mation and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct
any excess of secretions in the middle
ear. and the results it gives are nearly
always quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in any
form should give this recipe a trial and
free themselves from this destructive
disease.

AVhy Cripple Reformer?
Tf anything conclusive were needed
to kill the demand for motion picture
censorship," says E. D. Horkheimer,
secretary and treasurer of the Balboa
Company, "it is the recent protest of
the Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Associ
ation. They find fault with picture
productions because of the unfavorable
light in which liquor is presented, say
ing that it is hurting their business.
Accordingly, to cut out the scenes
which censorship advocates are against
will be playing right into the hands
of the liquor dealers. The Rev. Charles
Stelzle has said on this very point:
If what the liquor men say is true
regarding the movies, everyone op
posed to the saloon should come out
strong for the motion pictures.' In its
brief career, the screen has done more
to advance the cause of temperance
than all other forms of propaganda."

seeking solace, until he meets his sister-in-law,
who informs him of the
true condition of affairs. .

PASTORS DISCUSS
CHURCH PROBLEMS
Session of Portland Congre
gational Association Opens
at Waverly Heights.
CO-OPERATION IS URGED
Unity of Efforts Between Laymen
and Ministers. Is Declared Nec
essary to Obtain Degree, of
Efficiency Sought.
Arguments for higher efficiency in
church work by the pastors and the
laymen., better Sunday schools and
splendid reports from churches and
women's work characterized the pro
ceedings of the 20th annual session of
the Portland Association of Congre
gational Churches at Waverly. Heights
yesterday.
Reports recorded gains, especially in
the Sunday schools. Rev. J. J. Staub,
pastor of Sunnyside Church for the
past 24 years, gave an optimistic re
port. Rev. Luther R. Dyott, of the
First Church, said that at all services
conversions had been repprted. He
said that growth, not sensationalism
nor statistics, was' sought.
"The Spirit of the Ministry" was dis
cussed by Rev. A. J. Sullens, super
intendent of home mission Congrega
tional churches in Oregon, in which he
emphasized the need of co-operation
between pastor and people.
Failures Are Explained. '
"That minister succeeds only who
copies the master in all things." he
said, "is clean, honest and faithful.
Some ministers in Oregon have been
failures because they have not meas
ured up .'to the standard of efficiency,
but rather by the standard of popu
larity, which is not a good test. The
minister should not smoke nor be mixed
up in anything that would bring dis
respect to the cause of Jesus Christ."
Rev. E. S. Bollinger gave the fi
nancial report-on home missions. He
said that if the churches of the asso
ciation will bring up their full ap
portionment this year, which is $3000,
the home board will advance $1000
more to be used in this district. Rev.
Mr. Bollinger will leave for Douglas,
Alaska, June 5. He resigned as reg
istrar. Rev. J. M Dick, superintendent of
Sunday schools in Washington, spoke
on "The Sunday Schools, a Community
Asset," and gave instances where Sun
day" schools had completely reformed
the community.
Scappoose Pastor Heard.
"The Sunday School; What We Give
to It and What We Get From It," was
discussed by Rev. C. H. Johnson, of
Scappoose, who very frankly declared
that much of the Sunday school work
is a failure and that young people, in
stead of graduating into the church
from the Sunday schools, absolutely re
fuse to unite with the church.
"Among the young people there Is
an appalling degree of irreverence,"
declared Rev. Mr. Johnston, "and I
have heard things spoken hy boys and
girls 14 years of age that were un
heard of in our grandmothers' days."
Memorial Services Held.
In the afternoon the women had
charge, with Mrs. AT. M. Snyder pre
siding. Mrs. W. C. Kantner, president,
told of the work of the Oregon
Women's Home Missionary Union, and
Mrs. Belle, president, told cf the work
of the Women's Board of the Pacific.
It was shown that substantial progress
is being made by these boards.
Brief memorial services were held
in honor of Rev. IT. P. Hensley, pastor
of the Tacoma Congegational Church,
who died suddenly last Saturday night
and whose funeral was held yesterday
afternoon. High tribute was paid his
memory by Rev. J. M. Dick and Rev.
W. C. Kantner, who knew of his work.
Rev. Daniel Staver, an old-time
Portland pastor, and Rev. J. M. Dick,
former Oregon minister, hut now of
Washington, were introduced to the as
sociation. The speakers last night were: H. J.

TWO HURT mAUT0 CRASH
Jitney Said to Have Been Taking on
People When Auto Is Struck.
Two men were injured, one seriously,
in a collision between a Jitney and an
Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair
Girls If you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin, it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or .'wash it '-out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it In gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. It Is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need, no
matter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never falls. Adv.
