After a week of" investigation Into
tha unemDloyment situation in Port
land bv social workers and members
of various organizations, a campaign
waa launched yesterday by the Oregon
Civic League to procure immediate re
lief for the families of workers who
are in destitute circumstances. A com

interested in the relief -work, also at
tended the conference.
it was ascertained that about 100
families, totaling about 600 women and
children, are in dire distress. There
are many other cases where neada of
families have been out of work for
some time and are now without means
to pay their rent or procure provisions.
Taeatera Are Donated.
For the immediate relief of these
cases it Is planned to give theatrical
entertainments. Manager Baker, of the
Baker Theater, and Calvin Heilig, of
the Heilig Theater, have agreed to do
nate the use of their theaters, and it
Is probable that two entertainments
will be given this week as a means
of raising funds for the relief of the
needy families.
It was pointed out that while im
mediate relief in necessary, the need
of supplying work for the heads of
families Is equally urgent. To that end
the committee is making an appeal to
the various organizations in the city,
churches and individuals to come to the
assistance of the married workers. The
Married Workers' Association has In
vestigated 311 cases, and of this num
ber 198 have been investigated by city
officials and members of the police
department. All these cases are de
clared worths of support, and the heads
of the families are willing to do any
kind of work to earn money for their
families.
Organizations Asked to Assist.
Every organization in the city will
te asked to appoint a committee to
help in finding employment. George
1a Baker, president of the Ad Club,
and Fred Spoeri, president of the Ro
tary Club, yesterday agreed to appoint
a committee at once, and the presidents
f other organizations are expected to
same committees by tomorrow. A
meeting of all the committees will be
held Wednesday at 12 oclock at the
Commercial Club, when a definite pro
gramme for the relief campaign will
be worked out.
"There are hundreds of married
"Workers in Portland who have been
out of jobs, due to depressed business
conditions," said Mr. Swett. "The same
ttituation exists in nearly every large
city in the country, so Portland has
sympathizers everywhere.. The time has
come when we must do our part in
procuring relief for the needy. These
men are not seeking charity. They
want work and It is our duty to find
It for them.
Jobs Principal Xeed.
"We urge every organization to get
jl committee at work at once and find
Jobs for these men. They are willing
to do any kind of work. Wo want to
find' work for any number of men or
ven a single day's Job for one man.
The thing to do is to como to their
relief. We hope that the various
church bodies in Portland will join in
the campaign for the relief of these
families."

MINISTERS G0J0 "MOVIE"
"Desirable Film Allegory Is Verdict
of Those "Who See "Hypocrites."
On the special invitation of John F.
Cordray. general manager of the Peo
ples Amusement Company, a large
number of Portland ministers visited
the Peoples Theater yesterday to see
a private exhibition of "Hypocrites,"
or' "The Naked Truth."
This picture-will be exhibited at the
Peoples Theater Easter week, and in
view of much discussion of the film,
Mr. Cordray desired the ministers to
be fully informed regarding its merits.
In but two or three instances was
the figure of the nude Margaret Ed
wards, who portrays Naked Truth,
found objectionable, by far the larger
number of those present believing that
the picture was a desirable film alle
gory. "Hypocrites" has received the offi
cial sanction of Mayor Albee and the
board of censors, although in many
parts of the country, and most recently
in Los Angeles, it has been condemned.
As the reBult of a previous private
exhibition at which leading clubwomen
were guests of the Peoples Theater,
"Hypocrites" is to be discussed at
many club meetings during this week.

Standard Remedy
For Many Homes
Indigestion and constipation
are two conditions closely related
and the cause of much physical
suffering.
The tendency to indulge one's
appetite is general, so that most
people suffer at some time or
another from rebellion of the
overtaxed organs of digestion and
elimination. A simple, pleasantly
effective remedy that will quickly
relieve the congestion of poison
ous waste and restore regularity,
is the . combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin, sold
in drug stores under the name
of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
This is a mild, pleasant laxative
tonic and digeetant. absolutely
free from opiates or narcotic
drugs, and has been the stand

Howard E. Weed Makes Address al
Brooklyn School.
In his "City Beautiful" address in
the assembly hall of tho Brooklyn
School Friday night to pupils and
parents, Howard liverts Weed, super
intendent of the school gardens, out
lined the modern method of home im
provements for the neighborhood. Mr.
Weed threw on the screen, a series of
stereopticon slides, pictures of beauti
ful homes and railroad stations where
small spaces had been made beautiful
at little expense. He said he had trav
eled widely, but never had found a
country where climatic conditions were
so favorable for making beautiful
homes until he came to Portland.
At the close of the address Principal
Gary spoke briefly of the city-wide
movement to clean up and make every
section beautiful, and expressed a hope
that Brooklyn district, which had taken
the lead In so many things, would not
lag in the "City Beautiful" programme.
On motion the Brooklyn district was
divided into two parts and committees
appointed to lead the movement In each
section.

Mr. Stevens Announces Campaign
Against Chimney Blazes.
In an effort to decrease the number
of chimney fires in Portland, Fire
Marshal Stevens announced yesterday
that he has planned for a general in
spection of the chimneys in every house
in the cit-
Iast year Portland had B29 chimney
fires as compared with only five for
Los Angeles. Marshal Stevens says this
shows that there Is something radi
cally wrong with Portland chimneys.
He says he hopes by the inspection to
bring the number of "defective-flue"
fires down to a minimum. The Inspec
tion also will cover basements, where
rubbish often causes fires. Mr. Stevens
has estimated that the loss to homes
