During the Spring and Summer
there was a determined campaign
on in many of the larger cities OF
the United States to "banlsh
smoke"
The evil of putting railroad en-
gines, belching smoke-stacks OF in
dustrial plants, has arrived at the
place where such a large number OF
people are affected, that popular
opinion demands their efficient reg
ulation.
There is more to the evil OF
smoke and gas than simply an OBJ
scured sun, according to scientists.
The lungs become affected, and
the blood suffers. Smoke and gas
are not only annoying, they are
positively unhealthy. They will
will soon be things of the past.
Now there are other things on
earth that are also dangerous and
annoying. A thousand little things
and a thousand big ones threaten
everyone daily.
But the rot of all this danger and
annoyance is Sin. It's an old-fash-
Toned word and it means that deep
ly buried yearning for evil that
causes men and women to do things
that they know are not right and
that they are sorry about after
ward.
Fantastic as it may seem to the
Materialist, Sin can be entirely ex-
tracted from the human makeup.
It can be lifted bodily and after
it lifted there will not be any more
Of the evil things that make people
ashamed.
We don't need sin-why not get
rid of it?
Let us each make our personal
private world, World For God. In
Gods world there is no sin.
You can learn more about this by
writing to this newspaper or to the
nearest Minister of the Gospel.

 His Early Bcyhood
 He spent his early boyhood as Q transient scholar" receiving his earlier education in schools all over the country. One of the schools was the Hitchcock Military Acade. my ct San Rafael, Gal.
 The stage attracted him and he began c career before the footlights that was brief compared to his vet eran service on the screen. Besides acting. he achieved c brief measure of fame as Q writer before coming to Hollywood.
 First Camera Effort
 His first camera effort was under the banner of the late Thomas Ince in Apostle of Vengeance" The picture was produced in 1917, long before the movies learned to talk.
 His dapper appearance and handsome face hailed him as Q coming star but lean days still were to come before he achieved the pro. minence that later was due llNl.
 In 1919, the old First Nationai company promoted his career by starring him in "lieart of the Hills.

 Fox took him in tow in 1922 and gave him Q leading role in "The Count of Monte Cristo." After that, he went to Metro-Q Qoldwyn.A1ayer which boomed him to stardom and established him as the million sdol- lar-Btar." Tn consideration of this title, he was given 6 million dollar contract which, Gilbert was later to regret.
 Starring pictures came in rapid order for the next few years. He appeared in such hits aS "ffe Who Gets Slapped" "The Merry Widow" and the greatest oe his hits, "The Big Parade"
