Every great crusade must have it's Jeanne d'Arc.
 So says the Anti-Narcotic League and it is offering the one person whom it believes can qualify in the crusade against drugs.
 Mrs. Reid is Leader
 Until now" writes Ruth Sterry, secretary to Mrs. Reid, "the sure de- fense of Demon Dope against the hor- rified protests of organized society been that it was nobody's business. Those who have suffered most and were deepest in its tolls had the best reason for silence, and self-imposed security.
 'Tt was battle in the dark. It was battle in which the very essence of success meant publicity, but in which the first rays of publicity meant the instant dispersal of the army. In other words, it was a vicious circle. It was a lost battle because there was no one openly to lead the fight. It had been academic and academic crusades do not end in victory.
 Into the rather bleak situation comes Mrs. Wallace Reid.
 Eares Private Sorrow
 ''Of all known drug victims her hn spicuous. Never in the history ot the dope evil has soul been laid bare-so pitilessly bare-as was her personal sorrow.
 With a self sacrifice that was in. spring, she gave her story to the world.
 Wallace Reid is now dead-a sol dier fallen in the fight. Unless his sac rifice is to be a futile incident, some one must carry on its pitiful moral to warn those under the first temptation of dope.
 'sMrs. Wallace Reid has taken the torch.
 Her first appeal is made to organ ized American women:
 What is your State Federation o1 Women's Clubs doing toward aiding in the national campaign against nar cotics?" she has asked in a letter mailed to thousands of leading womeI throughout the country. And ever! club women in American is expected to respond by enlistment in the Ant Narcotic league, and the endorsement of the efforts of the league.
 Financing Herself
 he campaign against the dope in dustry is to be financed by Mrs. Rei' herself, who does not ask for none. aid. She expects to raise the neces sary funds from proceeds of film which she is now making and whicl will lay bare the seriousness of tn drug menace.
 EThis film which is expected to b released in the late Summer has d ready received the endorsement 0 Secretary of Labor Davis, Secretar of the Navy Denby, Surgeon Genera Ireland and many United States Ser ators and Congressman"

Even now these gases cause the
earth to swell and debate from six

even as closely as the sun, which is

II other celestial bodies keep at a re-
spectful distance in the heavens from
the earth, there is no danger of this
planet and its peoples suffering the fate
of Beta Ceti, the star that has occupied
the attention of astronomers for the
past two months. But. II Alpha Centauri,
the earth's nearest neighbor among the
stars, should develop a playful mood
and gallop through space at 100000
miles or SO a day to disport in this
planets back yard, there wouldn't be
anybody home when Alpha arrived.
All the earth's inhabitants would be
black dust; all the works of civliza-
tion from Tut'S tomb to the Woolworth
building would be molten lava, and the
earth itself would be a twisted mass,
spouting asphyxiatins gases and belch-
Ing flames from crater as big as
Germany or France.
That, in the view of Rev. Father
Archer, S. j., astronomical observer
at Georgetown University, Is about
the fix that Beta Ceti and its people,
II it were inhabited. are in. II this
dent wouldn't draw big headlines in
newspapers Of other planets, the Mars
Messenger would interview the Mar
tian astronomers and announce that
Sky, SO insignificant would it be.
Beta Ceti Burning Up.
Beta Ceti, the astronomer explained
today. is burning up because II either
collided with or approached too close
ly another star. Father Archer holds
the theory that while the end Of this
world might come about in a similar
way, thus fulfilling the biblical
prophesy of destruction by fire and
birthstone, 1t is not at all probable
He agrees with Caille Flammarion,
noted French astronomer, that II
some meteoric body or dying sun
either struck the earth or approached
near enough, there would occur a
vast internal upheaval, which though
minute and lost in the vault of the
heavens, would destroy all vegetable
and animal matter on the earth.
Humanity could not exist under the
appalling stress OF asphyXiating gases
and the colossal heat.
To scientists, Father Archer ex-
planned, the earth is like an orange
with a piece of tissue paper around
1t The tissue paper represents the
crust of the earth-the part that has
cooled off sufficiently for the people
to live on it and to plant crops. The
orange would be the white hot mass
