DR.. ODELL TALKS
OF Church PROBLEMS
Tells Men That Liquor
Question Is One of Worlds
Greatest Problems
SOCIAL HOUR
AFTER ADDRESS

The Rev. Joseph II. Odell. d. d.,
Of the editorial staff of the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger, addressed the
Presbyterian Union in Hanover Pres
byterian Church last night on The
Relation of the Church to Politics"
DR.. Odell said the problem of the
liquor traffic is one of the confusing
problems before the people today. In
this matter no church can act as a
political unit. The Individual church
cannot commit itself, that is, the Pres
byterian Church or the Baptist
Church cannot act as a unit. There
are so many phases of the temper
ance question. There arc the dues-
tions of national prohibition. State
prohibition and local option. The
churches cannot unite on any Of these
questions He said: Il do not know
OF any question that is as uppermost
in the minds of the people as the
liquor traffic and of any question on
which there is as little unanimity."
DR.. Odell said that when the Chris
tian men of the community 20 to
work for measure. they go about it
in the wrong way. They are usually
about nine months too late in getting
started. For instance. they do not
take into consideration that the re-
suits of elections are usually mapped
out about twelve months beforehand.
He said that the men of the church
must get out and wake up as the
liquor men do. OF they will never ac-
complish anything They must mingle
with the politicians and pump civic
righteousness into them. He added +:
I'VE have to be alert every minute or
we don't gain anything. This country
doesn't go to the devil because there
are more bad people than good peo-
pie, but it is because the good people
default"
Dr. Odell was given vote OF
thanks.
At the close of the brief business
session of the meeting. over which the
Rev. Josiah II. Crawford presided, q
social time was enjoyed in the base
ment of the church. Refreshments
were served.

Just after a leading lady has fin
ishod very difficult part which she
has filled on almost a moments notice
and after the final curtain has drop
ped on a very successful production
OF a Broadway success. is hardly the
psychological moment for a reporter
to approach and beg for an interview.
Nevertheless, a reporter of THE
EVENING JOURNAL met Miss ElinOr
McEwen. who plays the part of Jane
Reynolds in the production of Fine
Feathers" at The Playhouse, al the
close of the performance last night.
and discovered that even leading
ladies can be mighty good fellows,
even under the most trying circum-
stances.
IAN interview? Why of course. but
you'll have to ask all the questions,
said Miss McEwen just after that Try

can. "I'm going TO be one of Tie last
to desert the dear old lines and go
in for silent drama, and | hope that
the time will never come when the
film will supplant us all"
Miss McEwen then completed her
interview by inviting the reporter 10
make tea with a beaten copper sam
ovar which plays prominent part
in the dressing room and then eX-
amined a set of well weathered golr
sticks and inquired what sort of links
we're nearby, in order that she might
