How Time Flies!

TN the Stone Age fame was large
ly a matter of biceps and chest
q expansion. The way to get a
countrywide reputation was to
carry the biggest club and bean
the biggest dinosaur.
AS time went on and the dino
saur went out, other means OF gain
ing fame became necessary. In an
cient Egypt, for example, 1t con-
sisted in being on speaking terms
with the Sphinx and having sea-
son reservation in the Pyramids.
In ancient Babylon you could get
famous Just by hanging around the
hanging gardens.
In the golden age Of Greece all
you needed was a perfect thirty
six figure and be able to throw the
discus.
In the golden age of Spain 1t was
better to have perfect toreador
figure and be able TO throw tnS
bull
Coming down to modern times,
you can be famous in Boston If you
can trace your ancestry back to
the Pilgrims, and In New York II
you have a bank roll. In Califor'
mia 1t is necessary to know a cou-
pie of movie directors, and in Chi.
cago. to be on smiling terms with
a couple 9tstock yards.
And inSyour own home town you
can soon work up wide reputa'
tion just by being acquainted with
a good, reliable bootlegger.

 In 8 little cabin hidden away in the wilderness of Canada's great northwest lived Hugh Garth, big, brutal, misshapen fugitive from jus tce, his younger brother, Pete, and Bella. who have shared his exile for 15 years. One day Hugh stumbles across young girl, Sylvia Doone, a member of a vaudeville troupe, who has been blinded by the glare of the ceeds to fall in love with her.
 Sylvla soon gives her heart tc Hugh, believing him the big, heroic
