CIGARETTES ARE USED
1By Associated Press. ]

Washington, Aug. 24.-There were
5.4O2.33O,11S cigarettes smoked IN
the United States during the last MS
cal year, according to government
statistics just issued. %, 5,ooo,ooo IS
nerhaps a fair estimate of the num-
her Of men and boys in the country
who smoke tobacco. So, on an aV.
erage. each smoker consumed z'zlo
ciearettes last year, or IL day,
the fraction representing the very
small butt cigarette smoker throws
away.
But. of the 25,OOO,oOo smokers.
many millions smoke cigars or pipes
and some smokers roll their own Gig
arettes. So the average number tnat
each cigarette smoker consumes daiiy
must be much higher than Lila.
The government statisticians are
very proud of their accuracy IN car
rying out a figure so high as 5o'4oo,'
600. 900 to the very last numperIlo
Perhaps there is warning to cigar
cite smokers in these last two tigures
