Greek Theater Is Not Creek,

Another architectural fallacy ha,
exploded. Prof. Charles Knapp o
Columbia university, who lectured be
fore the San Francisco Archaeological
society on the subject Of THE Roman
Theater," summoned the temerity tt
declare before his audience that the
Greek theater at Berkeley isn't q
Greek theater at all. Professor
Knapp even denied the structure the
right to claim to be Roman.
He claims that the well-known
scene of open air Sunday concerts is
a sort of hybrid, of Greek and Roman
styles of building, the like of which
has never before been erected in the
history of the world.
The ground upon which he denies
the Berkeley structure the right to
the term Greek is that it's stage is
too deep, too wide and too high.

REASONS FOR LIQUOR HABIT
Taken to Cause Abnormal States Of
Consciousness and Resulting
Temporary Pleasure.

1t may be asked, "Why do men
dring?" For the same reason that
opium and hashesh are taken-in or
der to cause abnormal states of con-
seriousness because of the pleasure
derived therefrom. Alcohol, severing
the divine from the purely animal
| portion of our nature, leaves man an
| irresponsible animal, descending to
| purely sensuous, animal planes of ex-
istence, finds a temporary bliss in
| this experience
1t is peculiarly appropriate that
our western intellectual civilization
should have chosen this, of all drugs,
which entirely destroy all true intel
lectuality, writes DR.. AXel E. Gibson
In the New Voice 1t is the uncon
scious application of the law Of oppo-
sites, and we of the west select alco-
hol because 1t affords transient re-
lief from the intense strain which our
civilization puts upon us. We do not
know how to still the acton of our
restless brain-mind, by retiring with
in the recesses of our own spiritual
nature and resting. Because of this
ignorance, and of the absolute neces
sity at times for rest from intellectual
labor, we thus descend into the ami
NAL kingdom instead of rising to spir
itual planes. Refusing to ascend, we
are compelled to descend. Ignoring
the spiritual side of our nature, and
stimulating the intellectual, alcohol af'
fords a real but transient and deadly
relief from the pressure of this civ
ilizatton whose god is gold.
The evil effects of alcohol are wide |
spread and appalling. Upon society
they are too well known to require
comment. That alcohol is the chief
factor in the production of crime, the |
record of our penal institutions proves |
conclusively. 1t also fills our asylums |
and almshouses, and hundreds OF
thousands of premature graves, with
which it is not officially credited. Its
manufacture and sale produces and
employs a class of men utterly lost
to all high influences.
What are the remedies for so 81
gantic an evil? They can only be
found in right knowledge. Men must
be taught the effect alcohol has upon
both soul and body, and public opin
ion must be changed. The mental
attitude of the race towards alcohol
is wrong. The old, old remedy OF
changing the thoughts and the mo
tives of men must be applied here
The people must be educated-must
be made to think. And with right
thought and right motive, this, one OF
the greatest evils of modern civiliza
ton, will disappear.
