HOW THEY MAKE FOG

Almost every condition of life is presented in mimic at sometime or other Tn a modern movie studio. The MoIId strange place have been Dic- CoLeo Tn cIeVer stimulation time with oII number, and atmospheric condi- ions are made to suit the needs of the picture Rain and wind are pro uuced under the studio roof, when the sky without is cloudIess.
 Until recently, however, an attennnt 70 bT1ng fog into the studio except in London has been unsuccessful. Ar nur Miller. the cameraman who is Photoeraphing Peter Ibbetson'' in the Paramount eastern studio, recently solved this difficulty in the scenes of the Newgate gao1 courtyard.
 Before shooting these scenes Miller directed the property men to light several smoke torches. which were waved about until clouds of pale blue smoke hung over the ''set' in front of the camera Previously the stones of the courtyard and jail ''set' had been daub2d with particles of tar, which took on the appearance of gIistening moisture under the lights. Shooting through this smoke screen Miller ob- talned a perfect fog effect, and incl dentally, one of the most beautiful eff fects in this exceptional picture.
 Since her return to the screen in RClbertson-COle pictures, Edith Storey has received thousands of fan letters welcoming her back

 My dear Herbert Brenon:
 Twenty-one of my plays have been done in tthe movies; as many as three of them well done- But, so far as I know, your perturbation of ssThe Sign on the Door, which I saw yes terday, sets new high-water mark. It is not only the best cinema version of anything of mine I have seen. but the best photoplay, of it's kind, I ever saw.
 was Surprised at the clear ness, the compactness, and the cumulative force with which you tack is quick and decisive, and; from that point on, you build surely, with accurate dramatic instinct and with sweeping eff feet. I think it was not only per sona1 interest that kept me on the edge of my seat I was sur prised, too, at the remarkable work of Miss Ta1madge- And I was amazed at your fidelity to my text, and your respect for the material in hand Respect for, the dramatist, and what he has done, is a new note in my expert ence with pictures.
 Thank you. And may ex- press the hope-that is also an intention, that when my future plays go screenward it may be through your hands.

NEW RUSH is ON
TO THE FAR NORTH
OIL AND NOT GOLD IS THE
MAGNET THIS TIME. RICH
ARCTIC FIELD OPEN.

The rush to the great north has be-
the lure is oil, not gold, and the goal is
not the Yukon, but some point in the
great valley of the Mackenzie river in
Canada. Next to the combined Nilsson
ri and Mississippi system, the Macken-
zie is the largest river on the North
American continent. 1t drains an area
of some $4,000 square miles, and at
numerous points in that great territory
indications of oil have been found.
Oil in Arctic Long Suspected.
That a great reservoir of oil lay on
the Arctic slope has been suspected
for many years. A century ago Sir
John Franklin on one of his trips to
the Arctic noted tar sands on the Ath
alaska river. Fifty years ago the noted
Canadian geologist, DR.. Dawson, gave
it as his opinion that gold would be
found in the Yukon and oil in the
Mackenzie valley. AT various points on
the Mackenzie itself and on it's tribu-
taries seepages have been noted by
trappers, explorers and surveyors.
Reports of biologists who visited
the country between 1917 and 1919
were so promising that in the latter
year the Imperial Oil Company sent
a drilling rig down the river and start
ed drilling near the mouth of the Bear
river, some As miles below the Hudson
Bay post of Fort Norman In August
Of last year a strong flow of oil was
struck at a depth Of 800 feet. The we'll
was capped Immediately, but before
this was done the oil spouted from the
six-inch casing to height of 90 feet.
The oil is of a superior grade, prolific
in gasoline, and of a parafin base.
Rush Began Last Autumn.
AS navigation on the Mackenzie
river closes in September or October
the Fort Norman strike was made in
the season to permit of a rush into
the country last autumn. But not
many men got away, due to the late
ness of the season. Hundreds waited
for the weather to open this year. The
thaws came early, and the rush has
been under way for several weeks.
The Royal Canadian mounted police
are in charge of the enforcement of the
law in the whole north country, and
their instructions are strict to permit
no one to take passage to the oil fields
who cannot satisfy them that there is
no danger of his becoming a charge
on the country No one can get past
Fort Smith without police permit,
and no one can, get a permit who can
not show the officer in charge that he
has arranged for return passage, and
for sufficient provisions during his
stay in the country.

GAINESVILLE, Ga.-Judge J. B.

SALTS F KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Hush Kidneys and neutral
ise irritating aCids-Splendid
Tor system

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irTitate and indame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding il.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urinstSon.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table
spoonful IN a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two OF three
days. This viii neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is u source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary Or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble

TRYING TO KEEP
THE COUNTRY, DRY
ARMY OF PROHIBITION EN-
FORCEMENT OFFICIALS ARE
AGAIN ON THE JOB.

The most intensive drive against
liquor since the United States went on
a dry basis is now in full swing. An
army of approximately $4,000 law en-
forcement officials is cooperating with
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes in administering the Volstead
law.
With a score OF government agen-
cies and departments assisting in en-
forcement of the dry laws, and con-
gress considering amendments to make
the Volstead law more nearly lou per
cent tight, the next six months will
be the most arid the country has ex-
perienced, if Commissioner Haynes
puts into effect all he proposes to do.
Confscated Booze Is Piling Up.
Liquor halted at the borders of the
tons of the United States customs ser
vice, which seized it from smugglers.
Rum runners stock is being seized
faster than the government can dispose
of it legally. Near the Canadian border,
Montreal, officials of the inn
migration bureau and the customs ser
vice are patrolling roads and navigable
streams and inspecting passenger
trains to halt the illicit traffic in liquor.
Along the Florida coast guardsmen
are watching day and night to prevent
the landing of liquor smuggled from
Cuba and the Bahamas. Airplanes soon
will be used in the hunt for sea snug
glers by the coast guard service. Along
the Mexican border the army patrols

MORE WOMEN USING WEED

Bv Marguerite Dean.

Is smoking going or coming" Is
Ny Lady Nicotine about to follow
John Barleycorn into the discard-or
is she to win the game? In the imme-
date future will smoking be prohibit
ed as a crime-or will it be populariz-
ed as a pastime? Shall we have a
twentieth amendment to effect the
complete e&tirpation of tobacco-or
will the cigaret be as common and as
little censured (for both men and wo-
men) as chocolates or chewing gum!
AT the moment there is no more IN
teresting question of social and con-
vivial usage. and the question is not
vet definitely answered. The struggle
IS on. In today's news we may read
= of an advance by the anti-smokers; IN
the headlines of tomorrow the pro-
smokers are as likely to register a
gain. One unusually interesting feat
ure about the battle OF smoke, so OBJ
scured by the smoke OF battle, is that
there are shock troops OF women hight
ing on either side.
Probably the most earnest and en-
ergetic of the various reformerS which
would purify the atmosphere by rem
dering it smokeless are the thousands
and thousands of mebers of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union.
Women smokers, on the other hand,
have increased enormously in the last
decade, have taken the cigaret into

CLEAN UP SQUAD
IN GAINESVILLE
FOR PUTNAM BOYS

The Cleanup Squad, sent out by
government agencies, the Red Vross
and the American Legion arrives in
Gainesville on Octobe re, and will
establish headquarters at the court
house. The squad will remain there
until October 10th, during which
time, the members will work with one
end in view and that end is to get in
touch with every ex-service man
who has a clai magainst the govern
ment, and set in motion the machin-
cry to get quick and satisfactory adj
justment of that claim.
The paramount idea of the Clean
Up Squad is to cut red tape that has
prevented hundreds of disabled vet
Grams and ex-service men in general
from receiving the compensation that
the government is glad to give. In
this work the Red Cross and the Le-
giOn have every assurance from the
government of complete and whole
hearted cooperation.
Under the plan of campaign, the
Squad composed of experts who are
thoroughly familiar with every de-
tail of the workings of the War
Risk Insurance Act and the Voca-
tional Rehabilitation Act, will get
in personal touch with every man
who has claim or who thinks he
may have claim, take up his case
as an individual proposition, avoid
lengthy and nerve wrecking corre-
spondence-and get results.
To reduce trouble, delay, and ex-
pense to minimum, the Squad will
furnish each disabled veteran, who
reports at squad headquarters, with
transportation back and meals and
lodging until his business is COM
pleted.
