 Pretending to stand for moral reform it uses its power to tip prohibition scandals that would shock the nation.
 Boasts of its control of Congress and state legisla lures through great organization maintained by Big Business
 The Anti Saloon League broadcasts from coast to that it controls Congress and practically all legislatures.
 If that is true this important question arises:
 Who controls the Ant-Saloon League and why and how?
 If the Ant-Saloon League controls Congress and the state legislatures asserts then the power that controls the AntiSaoon League is the power that trols the law-making bodies of the United States
 What is that power!
 Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti Saloon League, and chairman of it's political campaign committee tells the American people in public addresses that $35, 5,OOO,OOO spent to put the Eighteenth Amendment into the Constitution.
 The Christian Science Monitor-a champion of the Anti Saloon League asserts that the League is spend ing OoO year. The New York and Illinois branches of the Ant-Saloon League spend approx-
 Where does the Anti Saloon League gets it's money?
 The power behind the Anti Saloon League is money The big contributors of the money constitute the real power behind the Anti-Saloon League.
 Four years after prohibition, the Anti Saloon Lea que is spending every year equivalent to the bned spent in four years by the Democratic and Republican National Committees to maintain their ganizations and conduct presidential campaigns.
 To maintain an invisible government which the An tSaoon League asserts controls the visible Govern men chosen by the people, this League spending four times much money the Democratc and Repubi- national organizations combined. s.-.
 For what purpose, or purposes, are such vast sums of money contributed to organization which renders public financial accounting, and which has been able to defeat legislative effort to investigate the source and disbursement of it's revenues?
 If representative government IS to be maintained in the United States these questions must be answered.
 Congress answer by Investigating the Anti Sa-
  it's and it's boasted control of the awmakng branches of government Reasons will appear herein why Congress especially should investigate the power exercised the Prohibition Enforcement Unit.

OF TUJT'S
HIDING PLACE
TO TALK

Few events, in all the history. of
archaeology, compare in import
ance with the discovery of the
tomb of King Tut.Ankh-Amen
for never before has the burial
place of an ancient monarch,
with all its wealth of treasures,
been found intact; never before
have men of modern times been
able to look upon these priceless
objects just as they were left by
the Egyptians more than three
thousand years ago.
These discoveries, the most
marvellous made in modern times,
were the result of years of effort
on the part of the Earl of earn
arVon and Howard Carter. Mr..
Carter has been engaged in
Egyptian exploration for thirty
four years. In 1890 he joined the
Egyptian Archaeological Survey,
going to Egypt as assistant
surveyor. From 1898 to 1899 he
was engaged in the Deir.el Bahari
campaign. He laext organized the
Antiquities Administration of
Upper Egypt under Sir William
Garston. In his excavations he
discovered the tombs of Thotmes
w and Queen Hatsheput and the
royal tomb of Mentuhetep.
In 1897 Mr.. Carter joined the
Earl of Carnarvon. and organized
explorations at Thebes and other
points. Ever since his first visit
to Egypt, it has been his ambition
to dig in the Valley of the Tombs
Of the Kings.

tional Theater on Thursday and

NCOnLlnueO from rage l2J
The strike in 1919 effected a
truce which expires May 81.
Equity's main demand, at expira-
ton of that truce, was the pledge
from its members that none would
play in companies not composed
wholly of Equity members in good
standing. The producers protest
to this was that Equity was en-
forcing a closed shop. Equity's
answer was that its members de-
manded protection from irrespon
s1ble managers, non-payment of
salaries and stranding.
Equity has offered to agree that
1t will not interfere with the
salary question, with the hours of

casting of plays nor their texts.

to avoid a strike dntil after the
Democratic national convention.

STAHL SEES END
OF DRAWN OUT
PICTURES

When the hue and cry for
fewer and better pictures raised
its clamor throughout the nation
a year or two ago. it was inter-
preted in many quarters to mean
that the public wanted pictures
that lasted all night. An imme-
date avalanche of ten and twelve
reel subjects ensued. They are,
in fact, still ensuing and creating
various reactions in the attentive

A WORD. OR TWO ABOUT
YOUTH AND BEAUTY

One Of the prominent attributes
Of sally. Irene and Mary" the
new musical comedy which begins
an engagement at the Belasco
tomorrow night, is youth. The
principal characters are in their
teens or early twenties, and thus
1t is only natural that the chorus
itself should be composed of
youngsters of diminutive stature.
Eddie Bowling, actor playwright
of sally, Irene and Mary" has
no apologies to make for the
youthful quality of the piece.
THE greatest thing in the world
is youth" he says. "It lacks the
the experience. of age and hence
possesses dash. 1t ignores eau
ton, but yet follows along the
lines Of nature.

AN ACTRESS BECAUSE
SHE WON A MEDAL

Some girls are born with the in
tention to "go on the stage"
firmly imbedded; other girls win
medal in an Evolutionary or
dancing contest at school-and
that settles it.
Lorraine >Manville belongs to
the second class. She is not only
a fine actress, but also is
dancer.
At the age of thirteen her love
for music and dancing lured her
to Nine. Cavallazzi, then ballet
mistress of the Metropolitan Opera
House, with whom she studied
pantomime and ballet work, which
led her to join the opera ballet.
Two years with this organization,
working In opera after opera,
gave her a splendid musical edu-
cation.
