Tho offiotws Jwero us-ked, not for their personal at titude towards liquor, but their i pinion, as (policemen^ on prohi4 bit ion. Tho unauiiuous answer was, hot urn ot liquor aiul t ho saloon tho last thing we want. Jt would only mean unending uricf for us. ’ Prohibition Held Essential “Policemen do not deal with the ories; they deal with facts. Police men know that prohibition, impor ted as it may bo in its present brm. is an essential element of na tional peace and security. “No one can deny the social benefits of eight years of prohibi tion. Similarly, no thinking person "ill elaim that perfection of pro hibition enforcement has been arldc vod. 1 he victory is not yet complete. That is why it is so os scutial at this stage to have a na tional executive who believes in and will insist upon enforcement of prohibition. “Municipal otficiuls have no busi M.-.S meddling in national politics, •• >uio people will say. That is true. However, let me repeat, l am advo cating neither man nor party; 1 am mulch giving uiv opinion uu the social effects of liquor and the ad visibility of maintaining the ground film Tips McDONALD: Friday and Satur day—“BUCK PRIVATES,” with Malcom McGregor and Zazu Pitts. REX: Friday and Saturday— “HOOK AND LADDER NO. 9.” COLONIAL: Friday and Satur day—“EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE.” McDONAliD: Friday and Satur day—Zazu Pitts, Lya de Puttie, and Malcom McGregor in “BUCK PRI VATES,” a bombardment of mirth depicting the adventures of three fun-loving doughboys billeted on the Rhine with nothing to do but play. Lya dc Puttie, playing the role of Anna Hartman, docs a bit of stellar acting when she becomes the target for Private John Smith, acted by Malcom McGregor. The whole pic ture is carried out to the smallest detail in the matter of locale, and settings. The portrayal of the various roles is admirably featured, and as a comedy, it’s at the top in comparison to the other pictures that have been shown recently. Zazu Pitts, as Huld, a German maid, is a comedy by herself. In fact from the start to finish, “Buck Privates” is a seal mirth-provoking picture. Laugh? Just try not to, and see what happens! Also Bobby Vernon in “BUGS, MY DEAR”; George McMurphey and his Kollege Knights in a novelty stage band act, nightly at 8:50; Felix cartoon in “Uncle Tom’s Crabbin”; and Frank D. C. Alex ander in musical comedy settings on the organ. Coining: Will Rogers in “A Texas Steer,” giving “America’s greatest humorist” a chance to shine in the title role of Chas. H. Hoyt’s famous play of a Texas cowboy who made the grade in Washington, D. C., and pulled the wool over an unsuspect j ing congress, with Louise Fazenda, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. featured. J. E. C. * * * HEILIG: Last day — Marion Davies in “TIIE PATSY.” This play shows Marion Davies at her best and the , supporting, cast, particularly Marie Dressier, as Ma Harrington, and Jane Winton as Grace Harring ton, was well chosen. The lovp af fair of the adolescent Patricia Har rington with Tony Anderson, her big sister’s beau, was deftly handled and laugh provoking. Lawrence Gray added some pleasant moments j a - Billy Caldwell, irresponsible | young millionaire. One felt ex tremely sorry for both Patricia and her father in the early part of the picture. Nevor was anyone so hen pecked and nagged at as that pair. In addition to “Tho Patsy” the University High School players pre sented an extremely well done ver sion of “THE VALIANT,” a dra matic one act play. The play brought more than one handkerchief into view before the curtain went down. Kcrmit Steyons, as “Dyke,” \ a condemned criminal, and Janet Thaeher as “Josephine Paris,” who comes a thousand miles to find out if he is her brother, both give fin ished performances. An interesting UFA novelty film “The Parasol Ant” and the Pathe News reel complete the program. It is all worth going to see for such a program is varied and unusual. E. J. C. Co-eds Asked To Join Big Sister Movement All girls who are interested in acting as "l>ig sisters” for next year are urged to hand in their names a* Doan Estcrly’s office by Satur day of this week. Selections will le made for captains and teams v.hich will act as advisors and help ers to new students who tiro to en ter the university next fall. Approximately 150 girls are need ed, and Glcnna Heaeoek, chairman of the llig Sister movement, urges all who are interested to be sure and get their names handed in this week so that those who are desir j ous of doing the work will be able to secure a place. A box has been placed just inside tho dean’s office in which tho slips of paper are to l'e placed. that has been gained in the battle for prohibit ieii. •‘A peculiar situation exists to day, making prohibition almost im perative where ”0 years ago it was merely desirable. In 1D0S drinking was socially taboo. Excessive indul gence in liquor was not condoned by society generally. The drinker I represented no strata or class but bis own; his rank was not that of tho laborer or the so-called upper classes; lie was an outcast. Condition Not True Today • ‘ Unhappily that condition is not completely true today. Post-war uu scttlcmeut found liquor seeping iu : to new fields. At the present time certain “high-hat’’ publications of the east openly flaunt prohibition violation. ■■ America must not allow the pre cious ground that has been gained to l>e lost.

Tuttle To Talk to Church Class Professor Harold S. Tuttle, of the school of education, will give an address especially to college stu dents at the Congregational church Sunday morning. The subject is “The. Ultimate Basis of Faith.” Mr. Tuttle has been in close touch with campus religious problems in several capacities during the past twenty years. As Pacific coast secretary of the Religious Educa tion association he was active in en couraging frank discussions of basic questions without reference to tra ditional dogma. “The most serious flaw in our re ligious thinking today,” said Mr. Tuttle, “is the confusion of moral ity with religion. There is little danger that religion will ever be lost. Religion is possible without morality. Christianity has modified civilization not because it is a bet ter religion but because it inspires a better morality than other great religions.” Marguerite Chester Elected Temenid Head Last night at a meeting of the Temenids, Marguerite Chester was elected president and Lucile Cor nutt, chaplain, for the present year.

Co., Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: Recently i stopped ir» a little village that consisted of about nine houses and a small hotel, which I entered. A little old man wearing a skull cap was seated in a rocking-chair smoking an enormous pipe. I had come to buy a can of Edgeworth, but when I caught a whiff of the tobacco he was smoking I changed my mind. The aroma of that tobacco was so delightful that I made up my mind right then and there that I wanted some of the same brand, regardless of the cost. I began with: “I beg your pardon, sir, but I came in to buy a can of to bacco, and I would like the same brand you are smoking if you don’t mind telling me.” He looked at mo for si moment, grasped his pipe with orn! hand and said: “I’m srnckirg Edge worth. Would you like some?” Of course I did, and I secured :( supply from the old fellow. The joke, of course, was on me, but I went o:j my way rejoicing. Yours very truly, Dr. John R.
