MOVIE TOWN AIDS HOUSING
Fake Belgian Village, at a Little More
Cost, Provides for a Score OF
Families.

Even the movies have their utili.
tartan uses, It seems. In some sections
Of the country they seem In a fair way
to help solve our housing problems. AT
least they did so in Westchester
town not long ago.
The scene--the movie scene, that Is
was Belgian village, and with the
accustomed protligacy of the picture
producers the entire village must needs
be built. The intent and purpose Of
the director was to build the houses Of
board and papier-muche, and then de-
stroy them oil when the picture was
completed. Certain residents of the
town. however, were possessed with
foresight, says the New York Sun. The
township was suffering from building
restriction, and some one figured.Ath
the movie men could build their vii
lage of slightly more substantial ma
terial at comparatively little In
creased cost. The proposition was put
TO the director who agreed to let the
town supply him with materials and
labor on a. proportionate basis.
As a result the town has added near
ly twenty new houses and twenty new
families have moved In, paying the
township only slightly more than the

Miss Mamie Barnes, an employee

KLANSMEN CLASS
OF 11O INITIATED

Oregon City, While 1000 people
craned their necks to catch the de-
tails Of the scene being enacted in
the center of the field illumined only
by few red torches, class Of ITO
candidates was Saturday night mi
tiated into the Ku Klux Klan in a
public ceremonial at Gladstone.
A Portland drill team assisted the
exalted cyclops in the ceremony, which
consisted only of the administration
Of the oath of the order to the condi-
dates, swearing them to uphold the
laws of the nation and the organiza-
tion, encourage white supremacy,
freedom of the schools, separation Of
church and state, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness"
Denouncing the insidious encroach-
ment upon the control of the govern
ment of certain organizations the
klan lecturer IN an address TO the
new members called upon them as
thinking men to battle with this con-
dition in what he declared was to be-
come one of the greatest conflicts
of ideals the world has ever seen.
The organization, he stated, was
built primarily upon the ideal Of un-
selfish service and he exhorted every
Klansman to carry the beacon of this
ideal in personal daily endeavor. The
ceremonies Saturday night were pre-
paratory to the degree work which
is to be put on for the initiates at
Willamette hall Thursday night.

VAIN TO SEEK "HAPPlNEss"
Only to Be Found by Those Who Have
Proved Themselves Capable
Of Appreciating Her.

"In America we are all in the
hunt-men-and women. Our ever
lasting quest of excitement is wear
ing us out" says Irving Bacheller,
the well-known writer. "We may
find knowledge and excitement and
even pleasure abroad, but not that
abiding presence we call Happiness
which, unless she be dead, is always
calling us back home. Everyone
who goes about looking for Happi-
ness will look in vain. If he is ca
pable of seeing her, he will find her
waiting on his doorstep when he
gets home.
"What Is happiness2 Is it not in
love of ones task and of his asso-
eiations? I am convinced that it
is born of those two loves, or not
at all.
"The greatest happiness lies in
having found ones work and in be-
ing strong to do it. Good health is,
therefore, part of the thing we call
happiness. The friends who respect
and understand US and a loved task
and a comfortable home fill the
cup"-From the Delineator.
