B. WHEELER EX-
 PRESSES HIMSELF ON BOOZE

WASHINGTON.-Said Wayne E. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti Saloon League:
 "We are, willing to knock out the poison, if you will find substitutes which really make alcohol unfit for beverage use. When the Government proceeds on tke theory that it's laws wll be disobeyed it will decay within year. The Government warned it's citizens that there was poison in most bootleg liquor. If citizen goes ahead and drinks it he is the same as the man who walks into drug store and buys a bottle of carbolic acid carrying a poison label ard drinks it."
 Wheeler protested to Mellon against elimination of poisonous de- naturates from industrial alcohol. Mellon reiterated that it was not the Governments function to poison and kill, but to enforce the law.
 Wheeler replied: "We are even willing that denaturants shall be less deadly until substitutes can be found, but the law prescribes that indus trial alcohol shall be unfit for bev- craze purposes, and there can be only one way to it-wood alcohol"

PARIS, Jan. 7. (P)-After ten
wears of austere living, neither re-
ceiving her friends nor hearing any
news of the outside world, Eve La
valliere, once Frances most popular
actress, is beginning year Of prayer
and meditation prior to taking the
veil in the Franciscaines' convent at
Hyeres.
Her sudden disappearance from
the Paris stage, ten years ago, has
never been explained. Reporters
tracked her to small town in the
Vosges, but she barred the door to
them. Friends wrote asking for ap-
pointments but she never answered
the letters. Now she has returned to
Toulon, where she was born in 1868,
planning to spend one year in medi-
tation and prayer before she takes
the VOW.
Eve Lavalliere first made her ap-
pearance on the Paris stage in 1888
when she was twenty years old. Five
years later she was the idol of the
public. For years she was the star at
the famous Varieties Theatre. Now
she is living in a small house near
the Tou1in water front. Her only
companion Is a friend who is also
planning to enter the convent.
