leave weather maps where they were
directed to, were nearly all cigarette
smokers: hence the order.
The newspaper paragraphers and jest
ers heard about the anti-cigarette order
and promptly made merry over II. When
ever a weather prediction went wrong
they suggested that Moore and his men
smoke up-and so on. From this adyer-

Moore had consumed about two inches

hero winning Carnegie medal. when the
committee from the anti-tobacco society

Virgil Highland. the new chairman Of

The administration plan is to have West

desires, and IL sure of electing Taft

that the State committee Is made up Of

the situation before fixing a convention
date, planning at the same time to have

During the stay OF Highland In Wash

both sides claiming the most benefit.

confession of guilty knowledge and an
offer of bride to Browne.

Browne q never would have allowed
