Chicago Stock Company Closes En-.
gaeement at Opera House Today.

The Chicago Stock company will
close a most successful week at the
Opera House today by offering two
Of the very best plays in their large
repertoire. The matinee attraction
will be "Buddies," George v. Ho-
bart's delightful melody play that
scored big hit last Monday evening.
1t shows the lives our boys led on
French soil after the signing of the
Armistice. 1t tells the story of eight
American "buddies" who are billeted
on a French farm. 1t accurately de-
picts romance, humor and pathos
that they met with and also tells how
they saved the little: French family
from falling into the hands of a
scheming Alsatian villain. The play
is filled with all the qualities that go
to make real hit and will score
success to every real blooded Ameri-
can who witnesses it.
It is the sort Of a play that chill
dren will idolize and the Manage
ment knowing its appeal to children
has placed the admission scale this
afternoon at fifteen cents for the
DeSC SedLS, anu IulS price lHCluuCS t1iC
war tax. The doors will open at one
thirty. the performance will start at
two-thirty.
Tonight the champion gloom chas-
or, Not Tonight Dearie," will be
staged. New York critics pro-
nounced this play a veritable gale of
laughter and it is said to be the fun
NEST comedy that has reached the
stage in years. If you liked Twin

that he is a prohibitionist but with
in the past few months he has given
his unqualified support to certain le-
gal measures which aim to cut down
drinking and eventually to put intox-
icants under the ban. i.
Saloons, clubs and cantinas have
been put under more rigid restric-
tons and. only few weeks ago,
a presidential decree increased the
federal revenue tax on alcoholic
drinks 100 percent. There are many
rumors that these taxes will be au-
tomatically increased until they be-
come prohibitive.
Nationwide protest was heard sew
eral days ago when the newspapers
said that President Obregon con-
templated issuing decree forbid
ding the planting and cultivation of
the maguey plant which is the basic
ingredient of the most popular ma
tive drinks.
The maguey. which is a species of
cactus. must be replanted, every sew
en- years and a decree prohibiting it's
cultivation would mean its exter-
mination and with it the elimina-
ton of tequila. mescal and
pulque, drinks Of undisputed po-
tency.
Planters of maguey rushed numer-
Gus petitions to President Obregon
pointing out that the plant is part
of the agricultural wealth Of the ma
ton in that it produces a valuable
fiber, sugar, a base for paper and
a medicine that is said to be a spe-
cific for kidney disease. 1t was also
said that it's spines, treated by an
inexpensive process, make cheap and
excellent photograph needles ..
President Obregon has not yet Is
sued the decree-but the planters
are still worried and so are certain
other persons.
The VETS have held numerous
meetings within the past few weeks
to organize their campaign against
prohibition. Secretary of Interior
Gales is coming in for a large share
of the criticism for the dry" wave,
as he was a staunch bone dry" ad-
vocate long before he left the state
of Sonora to take cabinet position.
Secretary of the Treasury de la
Huerta is also a prohibitionist.

What is the remedy?

many must be permanently broken
down and this vast disparity OF force
permanently equalized. The primary
and basic method of doing this is
for France to make the Rhine her
permanent strategic frontier.
"Henceforth the Rhine ought to be

German countries The "Wacht

This will serve two purposes.

But 1t was not only by military

French were seeking to equalize the
disproportion between France and
Germany. There were political
methods: methods OF subtracting

less-forced cessions of territory by
Germany and annexations by France
and her friends.
Another section of the French pro-
