for magnificence on the screen, and
that few such thrilling spectacles as
the chariot race ever have been pre-
scented in motion pictures.

"CREAT REEEEMER"
AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

Maurice Tourneur's great screen
production. 1.-THE Great Redeemer,'
which is to be shown at the Coliseum
Theater for a run of two days, be-
grinning tonight, tells a story that
is so absorbing and thrilling that
rersons who behold it will inevitably
conclude that it is fictioa-that it
never could have happened in real
life. III
Such is, in fact, not the case.
While "The Great Redccmer' was
writer by H. H. Van Loan and is
in the main a work OF the magma
ton, it's central theme is taken direct
from life. 1t embodies an incident
that happened in a prison at San
Bernardino. Cal, two years ago. A
Mexican was serving is years there
for mansiaughter On the wall OF
his cell he painted a picture OF the
Crucifixion. 1t was a painting whose
beauty attracted attention all over
the state.
AS direct result of the influence
Of this painting the Mexican was
granted a pardon by the Governor oil
the state and is now a professional
artist, making a living in Los An
geles.
Mr.. Van Loan, the author of "ThC
Great Redeemer," struck up an ac
u,raintancc in Los Angeles with tht
hardened Mexican, and from him oh
tanned the story which he incorpor
ated in his screen drama.
This he embellished with a stronl
counterplot and some splendid low
interest, and the finished produt

perhaps in the United States when any

Intoxicating liquor takes a chance E
becoming a violent criminal befor
the effects of that drink have died
within him.
This is the case with some men un-

liquor is available. When the intox-
icant is moonshine it seems to be true
of every man in greater or less degree.
1t is no argument against prohibi-
tion that this is true. 1t is, in fact,
plain evidence that moonshine is rap

live and what they do in school can
not matter so much; but let us re-
member that as we sow, so shall we
reap, and that once lost, our youth can
never be regained.
Why is the use of cigarettes prob
lem for students as a group to con-
slider, rather than an individual mat
ter? Is not smoking purely a matter
of personal choice. No, it is not. Few
individuals, if left to themselves,
would acquire the habit, It is the
prevalent attitude of "You lead and l
follow that is responsible for so
many youthful slaves of nicotine
When the older boys, the leaders of
their gangs smoke and regard it as
a manly thing to do, the younger and
less sophisticated ones, like unsuspect-
ing sheep, will follow their example.
It is safe to say that were it not for
the influence of the boys of today, pro-
minent among whom are the high
school students, the next generation
would be disgraced by very few cigar
cite fends. The detrimental effect
upon heredity is perhaps the greatest
and most far-reaching crime we are
committing by encouraging it's use.
The economic phase Of the cigarette
problem is in itself an enormous one
Our annual cigarette bill alone
amounts to millions of dollars.
The high schools of today are turn
ing out the leaders of the next gener-
alton. What type of men and women
shall these leaders be? It is now
generally agreed that the use of ci-
garettes bar full physical and mental
activity. If the coming generation is
to be mentally alert, physically fit
men and women who can stand firmly
on both feet and look the world
squarely in the eye, high school stu
dents of today must make a deter
mined fight against the cigarette.

That's singularly poor advice, and
probably the striking railroad and coal
mine workers won't pay much atten-
tion to it. Very few of them have
even in back of their minds any such
objective as Debs has in his. They
are not ready for the revolution" and
most of them are keenly enough aware
of the meaning of Russia's demonstra-
tion to be not at all enthusiastic about
applying that sort of thing to this
country.
The fact is that Mr.. Debs's torch
will not set fire to anything except
the already pretty lively resentment
Of his attitude toward social organi
zation which, for all it's faults, most
of those living under it know to be
the best on earth today, and infinitely

it will not get it through any such

to burn the barn to get rid of the rats.
Mr.. Debs, in such utterances as this,

get along without it. For nicotine
| the dangerous part of the cigarette, is
really drug, and its effect upon the
human system is such that the body
develops an ever-increasing desire for
/ it, even short abstainance resulting
in actual physical disruption.
Just what are, then, the direct ef-
fects of this terrible thing that SO
much fuss is being made about Most
apparent, of course, is the physical ef-
feet. One need only compare the ply
sical condition of his smoking and
nom smoking acquaintances to see the
ravages of this terrible drug. Lack
of pep and vitality, short -windedness,
sallow complexion and unsteady nerve
will as a rule point out the cigarette
iend of long standing.
A true story told by doctor will
perhaps impress more strongly upon
the reader the effect of nicotine upon
the blood than an analysis of the
chemical action. A young man, in a
very rundown, dilapidated condition,
applied to him for medical aid. Upon
being asked how many cigarettes he
used, he replied that he smoked on an
average Of 80 per day. The doctor
insisted that cigarettes was the chief
cause of his troubles. This the young
man would not believe. To convince
him, the doctor placed a leech upon
his thin, emaciated arm. The leech
sucked blood for a moment, shivered,
and fell over dead. "Oh, 1 guess it
wasn't a healthy one in the ftst
place." stalled the patient. For reply
the doctor placed two more leeches, to
all appearances healthy, happy repre-
sentatives of their kind, upon his arm.
The first died almost Immediately; the
second drew blood for moment long
er, then it, too, toppled over dead.
Horrifed, the man promised to cut
down his allowance to 10 per day. If
his blood was so poisoned as to kill
leech almost on contact, might not
also his weakened body soon succumb
to it's deadly charge of nicotine?
To the student who expects to be-
come ''brain worker," the mental eff
feet is equally disastrous. Nicotine
deadens the brain, weakens the will
power, and destroys ambition. The
average cigarette smoker is listless,
nervous, careless; he is unable to con-
centrate, think clearly or act quickly.
Thus the greater part of his education
is lost to him, and the training that
he missed in high school will be det-
rimental to him throughout his whole
life. Students have tendency to
think that they have yet their lives to

Why the High School
Student Should Fight
the Cigarette
(Contribl1tedl

The fight against the cigarette is
now being taken up by number OF
widely separated classes of people. It's
evil effects are being warned against
by educators and professional men,
employers Of men, physical culture ad-
vocates, psychologists and social
workers as we'll as by the ever-present
reformer, whom we have always with
us, but whose results are seldom pro-
portionate to their efforts. But now
the fight is being taken up by men
and women in all walks of life, with
the rear of the battle line held, sad
to say, by the group that this article
is to deal with Considering the pos
sibilities for concerted action, the ulti-
mate effects for good or evil, and the
far-reaching influence which it will
exert, the part taken by the group
known as the high school students,
has been perhaps the least creditable.
We have, of course, no statistics that
will show the exact number of high
school students who are addicted to
the cigarette habit, but it is safe to
say that very large majority Of the
boys in the upper classes are victims
of the nicotine-soaked weed.
There are several reasons why high
school students should take very de-
termined stand against the use Of ci-
garettes, both within the school and
without. High school should be es-
sentially training for life, both men,
tally, physically and morally. 1t oc-
cupies the latter years Of our youth
when the habits to which we will will
lingly or unwillingly surrender our
selves for the rest Of our natural lives
are formed. First Of all, if we form
the cigarette habit during school
years, we will usually be addicted to
it for the rest of our years, unless
some unusual incident or a heroic
"comeback" gives us liberation. Once
in a while we hear of man who,
through a general physical rejuvena-
tion, shakes off the cigarette habit
even after years of servitude; but as
a ge4eral rule, old man Nicotine
