"DRY" BIBLE is ASSAILED
Bellies History by Ruling Out Men
ton of Wine, Educator Says.

STOCKTON, Calf, March 10
Prof. George Colliver, head of the
department of religious education at
the College of the Pacific. said in
a statement today that the "prohi-
bition Bible is unscholarly, seeks to
disguise historical facts, thereby evad-
ing the truth"
ITO rule out all references to
wine makes this unauthentic 'shorte r
Bible untrue" he said. THE use Of
win was common enough in biblical
days, though the Nazarites and Rech-
abites objected to 1t for racial rea-
sons, however. This translation is
not true to history or the facts of
the case To call this prohibition
Bibles shorter Bible is a misnomer."

 There is no telephone in the vicar age and therefore Miss Bettison went to the post office and telephoned a doctor, who lived four miles distant. She then returned to the vicarage and re-entered the study refusing to permit anyone else 10 come in.
 A little later another shot was heard inside the study and Miss Bet tison came out, T asked him if he would live, and he did not reply" she said. T saw he was dying in agony, so I shot him to put him out of his pain"
 Miss Bettison was arrested and taken to an asylum later on the alc- gation of insanity.

"charloy's Aunt" the worlds fun niest photoplay opened four-day run at the Palace last evening to a big crowded house who roared with laughter at the most funniest pie ture ever shown in this city. Why the laughs were so hearty that they could be heard clean outside the theater and the roars attracted a crowd of curious people on the out- side and sent them away all laugh ing.
 The old joking phrase "louder and funnier" was never so apt as in the case of "Charley's Aunt" for Al Christie may safely be credited with having produced a feature-length comedy which Is funnier than any we have ever before seen and at which audiences laugh louder than they have laughed In months. if not In years.
 When the situations progress the laughs come thick and fast until they develop into howls of merri- ment. The Keith vaudeville pro- gram is featured by the Dancing Millards and their orchestra, a team of clever dancers who carry their own jazz band for dance music and entertainment Other acts include lslyes and Kevcs, two clever girls in a song and dance offering.

The speaker scored the financial manage ment of the affairs Of the treasury by the left groups In Parliament, spoke in opposition to recognition by the government of the Russian so- yiet government and characterized as unjustihed the rupture of rela- tions with the vatican. He failed, however, to suggest any constructive idea by which the financial crisis might be remedied.
 Religious Sentiment.
 The reduction in military service to one year. to which the Herriot government is pledged, also came in for adverse criticism by M. Miller and. The speaker declared the im- precision created by the suppression of the French embassy to the vati- can had been painful in Belgium, Canada and the United States.
