Ohio to Be Battleground of Wet and Dry Forces — Columbus. Ohio, Oct. 5. —(United! Press) —Ohio this fall becomes thei battleground of prohibition. The first real test of popular sentiment toward the Volstead act will be made at the polls, November 7. The proposed ‘ beer and ligh wine" I amendment to the state constitution. following a long fight against its submission to the voters, has finally been ordered on the November ballot by the Ohio supreme court.

It is the request of tile au- ; thors and the management that no ? one tell the secret of "The Bat" and ; there has yet to be a critic or a thea,'tregoer, so far as is known who has - ! broken faith. f ' When "The Bat" comes home, the ?Ssame request will be made of local i theatregoers. For the present then, ■-1 know’ that “The Bat" is the hit of hits e in the theatre and that it comes to '■ Ft.
