Belgian King a Great Smoker.

King Albert of Belgium, who is an
ardent lover of tobacco, is an honorary
member of a dozen different Belgian
pipe smokers clubs.
Next month a great pipe-smoking
tournament will open simultaneously
in Brussels, at Antwerp, at Client and
at Liege. Prizes, including magnif1-
cent meerschaum pipe, offered by the
king, will be competed for, the win
ners being those who smoke the great
est number of pipes in a given time.
Participation in the contest is sub
ject to one condition-that the tobacco
smoked shall be of purely Belgian orr
gin. 1t must have been grown either
in Belgium proper or in the Belgian
Congo.
