ETHEL AND THE BISHOP

Some public speakers are accused
of using good deal of slang in their
talks. There may be something to-
it. Slang is, after all. only that part
of the language which has not yet
reached the dictionary. In the next
generation it will be there, and the
next generation will express itself
better because of it. Languages grow
through their slang. 1t is usually
more expressive than some expression
which preceded it. For example,
certain bishop once said to little
girl: Ethel, you seem to be bright
little girl. Can you repeat verse
from the Bible?"
"I'll say I can," replied Ethel.
Every we'll, my DEAR" answered the
bishop, which one is it,"
1.-THE Lord is my Shepherd should
worry!"-Woman's World.

W. B. WHEELER
DIES SUDDENLY
Waged Long and Stubborn Bat
tie for 18th Amendment to
Constitution.

Battle Creek, Mich.-Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League of America, and
for many years the leading pro-
ponent of prohibition in the United
States, died suddenly at Battle Creek
sanitarium Death was due to heart
disease, following prolonged treatment
for kidney trouble.
AT $3.50 O'Clock Mr.. Wheeler asked
his nurse for book, declaring he was
anxious to read. AS he LEANED for
ward in bed his heart stopped and he
died instantly.
Friends believe his death was has
tened by grief over the loss of his
wife, who was fatally burned August
IL last when her clothing caught fire
in the Wheeler cottage at Little Point
Sable.
Mr.. Wheeler was identified with
the league for 80 years, according to
Mr.. Russell, serving most Of the time
in the legal branch of the organiza.
ton.
The dynamic character of Wayne B.
Wheeler for years casts its shadow
over every one of the bitter fights
that have waged around prohibition
and its enforcement in the United
States, because his name had come to
mean prohibition in its every sense.
Backed by the Anti-Saloon league
and the vast religious organizations
supporting it, Mr.. Wheeler fought
long and stubbornly for the eighteenth
amendment to the constitution, and
the Volstead act to enforce it, and
when that battle was won, he fought
no less stubbornly against every eff.
fort to modify those enactments.

NOVARRO STAR
In ben HURI
Christ's Entry Into
Jerusalem Pictured
In Production

In the perturbation Of General
Lew Wallace's famous novel and
stage play, "Ben-Hur," playing at
the Queen Theater, a singularly fine
conception Of the entry of Christ in
TO Jerusalem On Palm Sunday was
filmed in technieolor by Director
Fred Niblo for the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer spectacle.
The entry of Christ into Jerusalem
was handled very declicately, though
impressively. The face Of the
Christ is never visible. II Is shad-
owed and hidden by the branches of
a palm. AS He enters through the
Joppa Gate, a huge structure built
in Rome, Italy, along the lines Of
the original Joppa Gate of Jerusalem
through which the Christ is said TO
have entered the city some 1900
years ago, the enthusiasm Of sew
eral thousand people breathlessly
waiting the coming Of the Messiah
rose to a crescendo.
An excellent cast Of screen play
ers enact the principal roles. Ramon
Novarro plays the part Of Ben Hur.
May McAvoy is seen as Esther and
Carmel Myers as Iras, tho exotic
vampire.
