artificial condition you have created
You cannot run thread of logic

Senator Bristow. discussing an al

Senator Williams why the Democrats

Senator Williams declared that one rea-

such an everyday food as potatoes.

Insurance Commissioner, can legally
do business in North Carolina. 1t is
made a misdemeanor for any person
to represent it or to in any way aid
in negotiat ng it's contracts. No Cit

SMOKING.

Does smoking make people utterly
reckless about the safety of property
and life in respect to fire, or does the
smoking habit appeal especially to
needless persons2 We cannot as
sumo to say, but the typical smoker
scratches his match and drops it any
where and anyhow, without so much
as troubling to extinguish it first; he
is done with the match, and that SUI
fees him. Sometimes it falls in his
~wastebasket, and sets that off; some.
times on the coverings of, his bed,
and gives him a little excitement;
sometimes he losses it out of the win
dow, and it starts off an awning be-
low; sometimes he drops it on a wo-
mar and burns her out of existence
as befell one napless votary of the
habit OF seeing out the old a by
eating and drinking food which one
does not need, in a fashionable res
taurant; sometimes it starts off an
Asche building or a. B%inghamto1
cloth ng ship. The careless smoker
keeps his habit of match-dropping
with him, as eXemplified by the case
OF a chap in Montreal who wanted a
pair of scissors in a store in the dark.
He scratched his match, caught sight
OF the scissors, tossed the match, and
it dropped in an open a of gasoline.
