ash from a lighted cigar or pipe getting
into your own eyes, or those of persons
sitting behind you in the automobile. AS
result chewing tobacco is becoming
general among the automobile enthusi-
asts and chauffeurs.
IF the snuff taking custom of our
colonial days ever should generally be
revived, the automobile fraternity may
be responsible for it, as they are begin

ries had placed Mark Twain's ''Huckle
| 1 n, L.,
restricted list. The reason for the or
der is to the effect that these two books
shall not be given out to children under
! the age of discretion. Simultaneous with
the order a letter was received at head
quarters from Mark Twain himself. 1t
! is now ON file az Tile offices, but has not
been given out, and will not be made
public unless Mr.. Twain gives permission
! for the authorities to do so. 1t is a let

casm, and it is said to be classic in
itself In this letter, written by the
Tom Sawyer and "Huckleberry Finn"
has replied to the action of the library
authorities i'll placing the ban of restric-
ton upon these two books. Although

Three months ago he returned to this

They have a boy a year old, and I'm
trying TO figure out what my relation to

ties of New Iork-eXamples being the
erection of the Belmont and the Knick-
erboclSer on Forty second street and the
Plaza on Fifty-ninth street, besides the
enlargement of a half dozen well known
