THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 1, 1923
C1PIN IS BEING
PLANNED FOR CHEST
Headquarters to Be Located
at Multnomah Hotel.
FIELD FORCES MOBILIZE
Intensive and Effective Drive for
Community Fund Will Fea
ture Relief Work.
With the turn of the year will
come the opening of the Portland
Community Chest campaign head
quarters, for the forthcoming drive,
at the Multnomah hotel early this
week. The campaign organization la
almost perfected. Any day now the
leaders will be mobilized to the ex
tent that the directing heads can be
announced.
Instead of a central street corner
location for headquarters, as was ac
complished last year by the building
of a huge chest office building on a
corner of the postoffice lawn, the
main idea this month will be to
spread the campaign over the whole
city from center to circumference, as
it were.
Headquarter. Spare Donated.
The Multnomah hotel headquarters
will be for working purposes only.
It will not be used, as was last year's
headquarters, to stage stunts and
public meetings; at least that is not
the purpose now. These spectacular
features will be given elsewhere, but
the general policy is to impress the
whole city with the importance of the
drive and not confine it to any one
district, no matter how much of a
center that district may be.
The headquarters space, as much as
may be needed, has been donated
to the cause by Erie V. Hauser. Those
behind the campaign appreciate the
value of the contribution and the
quarters are considered Ideal for the
purpose.
Mr. Child la Manager.
Also of much assistance, it Is an
ticipated, will be the services of It. W.
Childs of the hotel staff, who has
been assigned to the duty of head
quarters manager by Mr. Hauser. Mr.
Childs has had much publicity ex
perience in Idaho and elsewhere and
he is skilled in organization work.
Early this week the active work
ers of the campaign will begin to
mobilize at the Multnomah and the
wheels of the organization so far
built up will begin to turn. Commit
tee meetings and gatherings of
groups to scan and plan budgets
have, up to now, been about the most
thrilling things of the preliminary
Community Chest campaign.
But with this week, all will be
changed. Generals, lieutenant-generals,
colonels, captains and workers
without special distinction wijl be
studying their war maps, going
through their preliminary training
and getting ready to mop up on any
local Mr. Scrooges that the ensuing
campaign shall discover.
All will have their nice, shiny new I
year resolutions ready, and in each

case the major one Is to put the Com
munity Chest campaign over in quick
time.
This year's organization Is expected
to be more closely knit than was last
year's, and it will cover more terri
tory within a given time. This, it is
believed, will make for the success
of the campaign to a greater degree
than last year and will admit of mak
ing the drive snappy.
It Is expected to make the cam
paign proper during the closing week
of January. It Is during those days
that everyone will be asked to sign
on the dotted line. But preceding
and leading up to that eventful seven
days there will be plenty doing In
the campaign line. Even now new
stunts and surprises are being ar
ranged that will, it is said, set new
and impossible standards fpr suc
ceeding campaigns to follow.
COLLEGE FUND SWELLED
MOTIOX PICTURES AD SING
ERS PLEASE AUDIENCE.
Society Women Purchase Blocks of
Tickets for Orphanages and
Children's Homes.
A substantial sum was realized for
the endowment fund of Mills college
from a delightful entertainment given
yesterday at Lincoln high school
auditorium.
The entertainment was In the na
ture of a motion picture show, with
vocal offering3 by local singers be
tween reels. The picture was Lewis
Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and
has been filmed with a wealth of de
tail and is a faithful reproduction of
this famous story which has claimed
the attention of children and grown
ups alike.
During the showing of the picture
an Illuminative and delightful ac
counting of the story was related by
Miss Margaret (Peggy) Levinson,
who put a charm of expression and
vivacity into her interpretation.
The film is the property of Mills
college, and while it has been exhib
ited all over California to raise
money for various activities of Mills
college, It Is altogether new in Port
land and hence drew out a record at
tendance. Interest of local folk in
Mills brought the seat sale up to-un-tx
pec ted heights, and a sale of candy
added to the fund.
Several local society women pur
chased blocks of tickets for the vari
ous orphanages and children's homes,
and ir. one Instance when it was dis
covered that 20 children wards In one
of the homes would not be able to
come on account of worn footwear,
one society leader of Portland pur
chased 20 pairs of rubbers and out
fitted the children and brought them
to the show in cars.
The show was from 10 A. M. until 6
P. M., continuously, and all day long
groups of gay parties of children
with their parents were to be seen
going to see their beloved "Alice."

Harry Nelson, assistant department
adjutant of the American Legion for
the past three years, was chosen act
ing adjutant with an increased sal
ary by the state executive commit
tee of the organization, meeting in
DArtianH vHtPTiinv. Thouch daced

in ationttnc thA r p si i f n jl Mon of
Adjutant Eivers the committee adopt
ed a resolution of commendation for
his services to the American Legion
which, it was asserted, far exceeded
the compensation receiyea. Mr.
Eivers has been an active worker for
AmoT'lr'on T.pp-inn In hit nnst as
adjutant since the organization of
ex-service men was formed in this
state and received national recog
nition at the recent Kansas City con
vention, when he was elected head
of La Societe des 40 Hommes et 8
Chevaux, playground and honor so
ciety of the legion.
Other Job Taken Over.
Mr. Eivers is taking over the busi
ness management of the American
Legion's publication in Oregon and
Washington, the Pacific Legion, one
of the sources of financial support
for department headquarters.
Two reasons governed failure of
the executive committee to appoint
one of the five applicants for the
position of adjutant. Even with an
ircrease in salary for Nelson and
employment of another stenographer.
$150 a month in headquarters' ex
pense Is saved. Also, it was not con
sidered fair to the legion or the ap
pointee to name a man who could
hold the position only until the next
convntion, where there was danger
of the Job becoming a political foot
ball. Traveling expenses will be cur
tailed by using executive committee
men for organization work In their
localities.
Portland will not have two posts
of the legion this month. The appli
cation of S. P. Stewart, Dr. John G
Abele and 15 others for a charter for
a North Portland post was tabled
aftPr a strong but friendly protest
COPIES AT ONCE
against its establishment had brtn
made by Commander James J. Cross
ley of-Portland post No. 1.
One Bis; Post Preferred.
The plea of Dr. Abele and Stewart
was to the effect that many men
who had not joined the legion be
cause of opposition to Portland post
leaders would become active legion
natres If they could organize a post
of their own. No members would
have been accepted living south of
Alberta street, it was asserted, cross
ley, on the other hand, pointed to the
failure of the t. Johns and Mil-
waukle posts and pleaded for cen
tralization of effort in one big post
as the only method by which ade
quate clubrooms could be maintained
and service to veterans continued.
The resignation of Ben F. Morrow
from chairmanship of the state land
committee because of dutiea requir
ing his attention almost exclusively
was'accepted and Thomas A. Sweeney
of Portland was named in his stead.
Those present at the meeting in
cluded Commander Lane Goodell,

ties for the past week. Through the
