CIGARETTE SMOKING AMONG
ROHS,

An article on this subject. which APP
peared in the November number OF the
American Magazine, is well-worth
reading by parents and by those having
growing boys under their charge, and
we regret that the Gazette has not
space for the article in full. Below,
however, is summary of the points
the writer makes:
Fifteen per cent Of II year old boys
smoke; 90 per cent of those Is years;
SO per cent of those ii years; 80 per
cent OF those Is years; 81 per cent Of
those 16 years and II per cent of those
II years old.
The relative standing OF the smokers
and non-smokers for these ages is as
follows: II yeas SO per cent for non
smokers, 70 per cent for smokers; IL
years so per cent for non smokers, 70
per cent for smokers; ii years 80 per
cent for non-smokers. 70 per cent for
smokers: 10 years "a per cent for non
smokers, rs per cent for smokers; 10
years 81 per cent for non-smokers, 70
per cent for smokers; II years 85per
cent for non-smokers, 6S per cent for
smokers.
The writer also found that the boys
at the bottom Of the class were almost
always smokers that they were gen
orally older than the average OF their
class; possessing less self-control, less
honest in their work, and usually very
troublesome. "
ITO be sure there are other habits
among boys which tend to make them
inefficient and dull" but the writer
found that the boys possessing these
habits we're generally smokers, and he
saws smoking is likely to put a boy
in such condition that other and
worse habits will be taken up, on ac-
count of weakened moral stamina. "
By means OF physical measurements
he found the smoker below the
average in size for his age
that smoking is likely to stnnt
something, most probably the mind, OF
perhaps the body only, or sometimes
both mind and body, as is the mos
usual case. lie also found that If
boy did not smoke until of age he wa
never likely to smoke to excess.
That the writer is qualified TO speak
is shown by the fact that he is a physl
cal director in two schools, gymnasium
director in third, and man who ha'
taken an active part in athletics OF al
schools with which he has been con
nected and that the averages above arr
based on personal observations OF NOR
than five hundred boys.
The seriousness OF this is beyond
question. Virginia has laws for the
prohibition Of the sale OF tobacco anc
liquor to minors, but it is, We fear, oh
served more in the breach than in it
observance or enforcement.

Arbitration as a Preventive of Strikes

Paris, Nov. 8.-Arbitration as the
preventive of strikes is the position OF
the new French government as out
lined today to the Chamber Of Deputies
by Premier BRAND. The session was
the first since ten days ago, when the
sitting broke up in riot after BRAND
had sought to defend the governments
course in suppressing the railway strike
Brands policy was more concilia-
tory today and he was listened to with
more respect He read his report,
which declared that the government
was not opposed to labor unions but
questioned the right Of public service
employees to tie up the business OF the
nation to win their points. This dec
laration was greeted with Kisses by
some Of the socialists and strike SYM
pathiZers.

SAYS He WON $4,000 BRIDE.

That William Andreas Curren. a
travelling salesman, Of Philadelphia,
who, after getting divorce on the Slst
ultimo from Mrs. Mildred Langley

did we'd Miss Alice Shreve, of Med
ford, N. j., last Saturday morning,
and thereby won his bet, was definitely
stated Sunday by Mrs. Emily Louise
Perkins, who lives in New York.
Mrs. Perkins is a friend OF the
bride and says that not only was she
with the two when they applied for
their marriage license in Jersey City,
last Friday, but that she and other
friends were present at the marriage
ceremony at 9 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing in the home OF minister OF a
Reformed Church in Jersey City,
whose name she does not remember.
Size also says she accompanied the
bride and bridegroom aboard the
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria at ii a. M,
as they started for Europe on their
honeymoon.
Mrs. Perkins excuses her failure to
remember the clergyman's name and
the address Of his house by the fact
that it was the second time she ever
had been in Jersey City. She says
a telegram was sent to c. Edgar
Shreve, the brides brother, lawyer in
Camden, just before the steamer
sailed.
