No Defense Of Tobacco
In conclusion, DIR. Meylan says that
he has no desire to defend the use of
tobacco. the motive of the study be-
ing simply to ascertain the facts con-
corning college men and the effect
OF tobacco on them. He continues:
"All scientists are agreed that the
use Of tobacco by adolescents is in
furious. Parents, teachers and physi-
clans should strive earnestly against
It's use.
There is no scientific evidence
that the moderate use Of tobacco by
healthy, mature men produces any
beneficial or injurious effects that
can be measured.
There Is an abundance of evidence
that tobacco produces injurious ef-
fects on certain individuals suffering
from various affections. person with
an idiosycrasy against tobacco and all
persons who use it excessively.
1T has been shown that the use of
tobacco by college students is closely
associated with idleness, lack of am
bition and application and low schol-
arship."

TUNES that vary from ripples Of
hip length to long skirts that drop to
within few inches of the ground, are
still in great favor and promise to re-
tain their popularity for some time.
They can be made of any material and
can be weighted down with beads,
fringe or braid. They may be straight
or with modified lower line, but they
are the accepted lines for skirt trim
ming, and that is the main thing.
One does not hear very much about
shirtwaists nowadays. Though those
practical garments still have their
uses; but the blouse is a very impor-
tant item in the fashionable wardrobe
despite the vogue of the one-piece
trotting frock. Under fur coat or
seperate coat the one-piece frock is
charming and satisfactory. but there
are many days when a fur coat is too
warm for. comfort and the coat and
skirt suit is as desirable as it ever
was. This winter it is even more
popular than ever, for the vogue of
the velvet coat and skirt makes such a
costume suitable for occasions when
one might not consider the less dres-
sy cloth tailored costume appropriate.
Many of the smartest tailored mod
els in velvet are of the three piece
type. a misnomer, since the model is
usually one-piece frock with coat
To avoid uncomfortable warmth all

rangement the degree of elaborate
ness in the costume may be adjusted
to a Siding scale.

what people once understood by sep

tune or at least harmonic with it so
admirably that it seems an integral
part of it. All of which does not mean
that the suit material or trimming

blouse, though this arrangement is

SMOKING FOUND NOT
TO Be INJURIOUS
A Physical Culture Expert
Concludes Non Smokers
No More Healthy.

New York. Jan. 1.-THE results Of
an investigation OF the effects OF
smoking on students OF Columbia I'M
iversity by DR. George l. Meylan, head
been made public In the Popular
Science Monthly. They show that on
the whole those who smoke arc not
injured seriously. IL at all DR.. Mey-

moro than two hundred students.
about 53 per cent, OF whom smoked
DIR. Meylan points out at the begin
ming OF his article that his chief aim
was to determine II smoking exerted
any influence upon the physical and
mental characteristics of college stu
dents. and does not try to present the
moral or economic sides OF the ques-
ton. He examined 223 students. lis
OF whom smoked. The age at which
they acquired the habit varied from
ono at seven years to eighteen at six
teen years. thirty at seventeen. sixteen
at nineteen and one at twenty-one.
Physical Measurements
Tho average physical measurements
OF 145 students form the basis for a
table Of their development over a per-
Tod OF two years. Sixty.six students
who smoked gained about pounds in
weight. against gain of six pounds
by seventy.seyen nonsmokers. The
same students made net increase Of
IL centimeters In height for the smok-
ers and IL for the non-smokers. In
lung capacity, however. the nonsmok-
crs surpassed the smokers. gaining 20
m against .OS. In total strength the
smokers were ahead again. however,
having an increase OF 103 units as
against 101.
1T appears from the tables" says
DR.. Mcylan, THAT there is no appre-
ciable difference between the meas
urements Of the smokers and non
smokers except in the matter OF age
where the smokers are the older. The
slight advantage in the average age

eight months older The slightly larg-
er gain made by the smokers in
weight. height and total strength dur.

cance" ......
Nonsmoksrs Better Students
In scholarship the norsmokers had
a distinct advantage. The smokers
averaged so per cent. in their studies
at entrance. So per tent. during tho
first two years and per cent. Of fail
ure. The nonsmokers got 81 per cent
in their entrance examinations and 50

college. while only per cent. were
failures. In this respect DR.. Meylan
thinks there Ia a distinct relation be-
tween smoking and scholarship.
OF the same set of students ~ per
cent OF the smokers won places on
varsity athletic teams. while only 81
per cent of the nonsmokers could get
