PATENTS ARE GRANTED
SMOKING INNOVATIONS
Velvet Smokarols" and "Smokarol
Pipe" Provide Cleaner Smoke
Than Formerly. Is Claimed.

The United States Patent Office recent
ly granted patents on two distinct inno-
vations in tobacco smoking-"velvet
Smokarols" and the ''Smokarol Pipe
The Velvet Smokarols'' are put in
waxed paper packages of six 'Smoka-
rolls" the whole package being about the
length and diameter of a cigar In this
manner. six rdpe loads of tobacco car
be carried in the pocket space of a cigar
Four packages of "Velvet Smokarols'
containing the same weight of tobacco
as ST. iird 1O-cent tin, are sold for
dime.
The ob!isct OF this new form OF tobacco
Is TO save the waste that ordinarily
comes froIL loading a pipe with loose to-
bacco and to provide the smoker with a
pipeload that Is packed to just the proper
density for smoking to the best advan-
tagc.
The absence of bowl on the "Smok.,
arol Pipe" 1t is claimed. makes the pipe
much easier to keep clean than an Or
dinary pipe and consequently insures a
much sweeter smoke.
The makers of the "Smokarol Pipe"
especially recommend 1t to outdoor
smokers and those actively engaged.
owing to the fact that it retains the ash
even in the wind and in spite of sudden
on the part of the smoker.

He comes ut the invitation of the
local body OF Associated Bible Stu
dents.
Since the outbreak of hostilities in
Europe. Pastor Russell has been de-
iivering series of lectures on the
great conflict and its place in Bible
prophecy. Special attention has been
called to these because the Brooklyn
pastor has for many years In public
lectures and in his books on Bible
study, which have attained an enor-
nous circulation. expressed the con-
viction. based upon the Interpretation
OF Bible prophecies. that a time of in
tense trouble upon the world would

lude to the Battle OF Armageddon,"

a separate Jewish state in Palestine is
near. and that the present conflict
will hasten and assist in this project.
Asked why he believes the return of
the Hebrew race and their establish
ment in their ancient homeland near.
the pastor replied that his view is
based upon many Bible prophecies.
now apparently in course of fulfill
ment. According to his understanding.
he declares. the period of time spoken
of by Christ when He stated that
"Jersualem shall be trodden down of
the Gentiles until the times of the
be fulfilled" closed with the
year 1914. and the great European
war is one of the foretold indications
of their close.
The proclaim ton OF the Gar of
Russia issued a year ago. giving the
Jews I'm the empire certain liberties
and the same freedom of faith enjoy
ed by any other religions i'm Russia,
Pastor Russell notes as one of the
evidences of a change in their affairs
rs a people. official discrimina tion

tinued the pastor. The threading down
of Jerusalem" was to last as long as
ientile rule dominates: and that domi-
nation now fading signifies that
srae"s land will soon be theirs again.

ions dates back several decades. II
