Rain - driven Portland yesterday opened her purse for sword-driven Ar menia. The contrariness of the ele ments served only to intensify the ur gent need for funds that the babes and women of that ravished land must have if they are to win in their heretofore hopeless battle for existence. A buoyancy of spirits marked the progress of the more than 300 volun teer workers as they combed the city on their errand of mercy. Secure in the knowledge that each additional cent procured might mean the saving of some famished little bit of humanity, they went about their merciful work with hearts attuned to the spirit of the cause, and when darkness had brought a cessation of efforts for the day, hope pave way to optimism and expectations bowed down to assured success among those who gathered at campaign head quarters at the Unitarian church. 912.U0O Estimated Total. Not until some time this afternoon will a complete check be made upon the amount of subscriptions received during the first two days of the drive. "When called upon to submit reports yesterday, workers replied that they were too busy canvassing the city, but from numerous accounts which filtered into campaign headquarters, the lead ers estimated the total subscription at $12,000. The work of the Klwanis club "fly ing squadron," as well as the member ship of the Kiwanls club, stood out yesterday as a testimonial of the gen erosity of Portland. With reports from only five of its 22 workers received up to noon yesterday, the "flying squad ron" reported a total of $7000. Xot content with the splendid record of their campaigners, the members of the Kiwanis club, at their weekly luncheon at the Portland hotel, sub scribed an additional $1000 in amounts from $5 to $25. These subscriptions were pledged following a talk by Mrs. O. K. Lamson, a native Armenian, who is in Portland to assist local workers in the drive. St. Paul Man Volunteers. So moved was he by the soul-stirring appeal from Mrs. Lamson that a lunch eon guest, .a business, man from St. Paul, jumped to his feet and insisted upon taking a part in the local drive. "I will be in your city for several days," he shouted. "Why not give me some subscription blanks and set me to work procuring funds for those un fortunate Armenian women and chil dren?" Campaign leaders expect good re ports from the St. Paul solicitor, as he put his whole soul to the task as soon as he was given the necessary creden tials and started on his way for funds. "Progress about the state is much better than we had any right to ex pect," announced State Director Hand sacker last evening after he had spent a busy day receiving reports by wire and telephone. Three Counties Complete Quotas. . Josephine County reported her full quota of $1700 raised the second day of the drive. The southern half of Jackson county, with a quota of $5000, had passed her allotted mark. ITmatilla county reported in her full quota of $8150. Linn county, with a quota of $5400, has reached the half-way mark and is still going. Oregon City, with a complete quota of $5500, has reported subscriptions of $3600. Astoria has raised $3500 of her $5000 quota. Such reports as these have brought a perpetual smile to the face of the state director. Leaders of the state cam paign expect a generous oversubscrip tion. School Children Respond. The "save-a-life" campaign in the public schools of Oregon already is reaping benefits in the way of sub scriptions from Jittle school youngsters who have been touched by the appeal. "No, 1 won't let you starve," is the message a little lad at Canby wrote to some unknown Armenian child as he inclosed a bright new dime as his sub scription. "I wish I could send more, but this is all I have." wrote another youngster who gave 25 cents. ' Scores of similar letters from chil dren in all parts of the state are being received at state headouarters Th school children of Portland are being told the story of Armenia through the education campaign directed by George 1,.

How You Can Quickly Remove Hairy Growths (Aids to Beauty) A well-known beauty specialist ad vises this treatment for the removal of hair from the face. Mix into a paste some powdered delatone and water, an ply to hairy surface and after about 2 minutes rub off, wash the skin and every trace of hair has vanished. This method is quick and entirely safe. To void disappointment, however, it is well to make certain you get' genuine let campaign speakers address pupils in every school of the city. The average campaigner might not think that the flotsam and Jetsam of Portland's north end would be a fertile t-A fnr n. drive of this character, but that the hearts of these men can be touched was shown by a subscription of $20 which was sent yesterday to John T. Dougall. director of the city campaign. The subscription was raised at the men's resort on nurpmuo pucci, following an appeal by one of the speakers Monday evening. The officials and employes of the United States forestry service yester day took up subscriptions totaling $101 62. which were transmitted 10 cny headquarters. In order that the campaign In the city's industrial plants might be car ried out quickly and efficiently, the Kiwanis club yesterday issuea a can to its members for more volunteer workers to assist its "flying squad ron" of 22 members. Within a half hour 38 members offered their services. and the Kiwani3 club, 60 members strong, will invade the city's industrial plants today for subscriptions, wnicn the workers hope will total at least $15,000. MeMinnvllIe to Hear Dr. Com. Dr. Frederick Coan, who spent more than 40 years among the suffering Ar menians, and whose addresses have done much toward stimulating interest in the local drive, leaves this evening for McMinnville, where he speaks to morrow. Other parts of the state have asked for his services, and it is prob able that he will address other meet ings before the campaign is brought to a close. "We are mighty proud of the manner in which the people of Portland are responding to the appeal for funds, and if the same gait is maintained until the close of the drive success is assured,' is the prediction of City Director Dou gall. The campaigners will take up their task again today. Dance Given for Returned Soldiers HOOD RIVER (lp Mirk A rSnA cial.)

Systematic Canvass Will Bo Con- ducted by Commitees in Charge of l'ortiand Campaign. The organization for a campaign to raise the funds to meet the desperate needs of Jewish sufferers from the war is now in progress. The national committee has set its needs at $30,000,- 000 and the Portland community is de termined that its' quota shall be promptly forthcoming. A systematic canvass of the Jewieh community will be made and no pains will be spared to raise the necessary amount. In the backwash from war and the unsettled political and economic con ditions in eastern Europe, the Levant and the near east, the bulk of the Jews have suffered indescribably. Hundreds of thousands have been left homeless. penniless, orphaned, widowed, crippled and stranded. To meet their needs a relief fund must be created that will be larger than any raised for this pur pose in the past. The object is to cave from death by starvation and exposure the bulk of the Jews in the unsettled regions. No part of the fund is to be expended for propaganda for religious or social plans. The fund will be distributed by the established sgencies of the Jewish war relief bureau and will go to Rus- 1 1 Meier, I. Lang, K. M. Seller. M. Sichel 6ia. Poland, Galicia. Palestine.
