THRILL OF GREAT
OPEN is In FILM
"The Flame Of Hellgate,' Moving
Drama Laid Out Where Life Is
Free. Stars Michelena

One of the most thrilling pictures
OF the great outdoors which ever has
been produced with any star is THE
Flame of Hellgate' in which Beatrice
Mchelena will be seen on the screen
of the Auditorium theater today. This
is Robertson-Cole Superior picture
which was produced at the Michelena
Studios with George E. Middleton as
director.
The story, told in series of melo-
] dramatic incidents, concerns the figh'
between an INSCRIPTIONS cattle king
and hardy old mountaineer home
steader which fight is carried on by
the beautiful daughter of the noun
taineer after her father has been
treacherously murdered by the cat
tie king, who dominates the valley
Miss Michelena gives a portrayal Of
the daring girl who continues her ia
theirs fight which is without parallel
SO far as her former screen efforts are
concerned.
| After war Is declared between Old
Dowell the mountain man, and the
cattle king, and the former has been
murdered, a representative Of the
hill people goes to the sheriff and de-
mands the arrest of DOwells muir.
derer, the sheriff has been put in Of.
flee by the cattle king, and proves a
/ reactionary who will do nothing to
investigate the crime. Thereupon
Star Dowell, daughter of the muir
dered man, declares war on the cattle
king.
Has Fine Support
| Her men steal his herds, and ha-
ras: him generally for many months
However, her connection with the
gang remains secret and she Is
able to come into the village without
molestation. Here she finds Page,
former friend, who has been down
and OUT through drink. and encour-
ages him to do better. He braces. and
she even induces him to run for sher-
in. Once elected he begins to d.
things independently which wins for
him the opposition of the cattle king.
The picture which abounds in gun
battles and exciting raids ends with
an attack on the mountain fastness
Of Star and her men in which the
cattle king Is for all time put out Of
the running.
Miss Michelena is supported IN
The Flame of Hellgate' by one of
the finest casts of depictors of from.
tier types obtainable. The plotting
domineerfng cattle king is made very
real by Albert Morrison. Clarence
Arper is the bigoted and cowardly
reactionary sheriff. D. Mitsoras plays
the half-breed gun-man, and William
Pike the regenerated man who plays
opposite Michelena. Other parts are
taken by Cliff Thompson, Katherine
Angus. and JEFF Williams.

CIGAPETTES WILL RUIN THE
COMPLEXION, SAYS SURGEON

Washington, d. c., April 7.-Surgeon
Gen. Hugh Cummings, medical director
of the United States government has
?oiced an appeal to the American wo-
men to swear off the cigarette habit.
DIR. Cummings appeal was based on
government reports which indicate that
cigarette consumption increased AZ per
cent in the United States in the last
year.
"The cigarette habit indulged in by
women tends to cause nervousness and
insomnia, running the complexion" said
DIR. Cumming, in an interview.
"If American women generally con-
tract the cigarette habit as reports now
indicate they are doing, the American
nation will suffer. The physical tone Of
the whole people will be lowered.
'This is one of the most evil influ.
cnces in American life today. The mum.
Der of American women who are be-
coming inveterate smokers is amazing.
"Pm against spread of the habit
among women not only as man but
also as physician and public Off
cial.
"As public official I'm proud to warn
against smoking among women, al
though l admit that in one sense it's
just as reasonable for them to smoke
as for men.
"The habit harms women more than
q man, however" ....
\ woman's nervous system is more
highly organized than the mans. The
reaction on woman, therefore. Is more
intense"

REASONS FOR FOND ISSUE
EXPLAINED BY TRUSTEES

Voters of the Fort Mill graded school
district win be given the opportunity
at a special election next Tuesday, April
13, of passing upon the proposed bond
issue of $50, 900 for school purposes. In
connection with the bond election, it
is said the trustees will receive 1000
from State and county sources to assist
in carrying to completion the building
program mapped out for the school in
the event the bond issue is authorized.
So far as the trustees are informed, it
was stated last night, little opposition
to the bond issue has developed. But
the trustees nevertheless consider the
voters of the district entitled to the
information contained in the following
statement of the use to which the pro-
ceeds of the bond issue of 1919 was put
and their plans for the expenditure of
the money arising from the present
bond issue:
From the proceeds of the SIS, 900
bond issue voted year ago, approx
mately SIS, 600 was spent for remodeling
the old auditorium into six large class
rooms, and for repairing, plastering
and painting the old building. About
$4,000 was spent for the installation of
a modern heating plant and 81, 900 for
desks and equipment for the new
rooms.
The balance of this bond money has
been invested in material for the new
building. This material was contracted
for year ago at much lower figure
than it could be bought for today, and
approximately $4,000 worth of brick,
doors, windows and lumber that today
would cost around 5000 is now stored
on the grounds and in the basement of
the old building. r.s .- ..-
From the proceeds Of the $40, 600 of
bonds which it is expected will be
voted on next Tuesday it is proposed
to spend about $1,000 in excavating
under the old building and installing a
modern sewerage system, with three
toilet rooms and three other rooms
which can be used for class rooms as
they NAV be needed.
The new building will contain an
auditorium on the first floor and under
meath five class rooms, and will be
connected by covered passageway
with the present building. 1t is esti-
mated that it will cost approximately
$40, 900 to complete this building with
the material already paid for and con-
meet with the present heating system
and another thousand dollars to equip
the five class rooms with desks and
blackboards.
The trustees propose to use the re-
mainder Of the second bond issue in
paying for the dwelling purchased
several Jears ago for the use of the
superintendent and in providing suit.

ACT TO AID SCHOOLS is
TO GO BY THROUGH DEFAULT

Columbia, April 7.--An act of the re-
cent legislature, authorizing the appro-
priation of $4,000 for augmenting
teachers pay in weak schools and es-
peeially to prevent over-crowding OF
schools, failed to be effective because of
the failure of the committee acting on
the annual appropriation bill to put into
that measure an item covering this $4O,-
GOO. State Superintendent of Educa-
tion stated today that this means that
the "over-crowded school act" will be
of no effect this year.
