'The present law is farce. Every

boy in this state can get all the Gig
arettes which he wishes So can the
men. The adult smokers know wheth-
er or not cigarette smoking is hygenic,
boys do not, but it is quite certain
that cigarettes are injurious to youths.
"Alund the law. Let's stop fooling
ourselves. Let's stop boastiug about
our famous law which is designed to
prevent boys obtaining cigarettes, but
which doesn't do anything Of the kind.
Lets stop the joke Let's pass n
new law to take the place o fthe old
one. Make the Law so strict ard the
punishment for violation Of it 50 Sc
we're that ne dealer will dare to sell
cigarettes to a boy
"il We can't enforce a law that will
prevent the sale OF cigarettes TO both
men and boys, and we know that We
cannot then lets DO the next best
thing have 4 law which is powerful
t~orra 20 keep cigarettes cut Of the
hands OF the YOUNGSTERS, then houe
+ that the men will use Judgment and
