TURKISH CIGARETTES
TURK IN NAME ONLY
But Smokers who Prefer orien-
tai Flavor Will Enjoy 1t Just
the Same.

Turkish tobacco is not Turkish tobacco
Turkish cigarettes are not Turkish cigar
cites -,. e..-
This ia the abatement OF Stephen ste
phano, vice president Of Stephano Brotn-
ers, Inc cigarette manufactures peia
doxical as Il seems. Incidentally ne seys,
iust because Turkish cigarettes are not
r,rt,isb cigerettes the European war VIII
have no effect on the supply, ana smokers s
who like the Oriental flavor In the Weeo
NAV calm their fears. The Allies may
canture the Dardanelles and drive tne
Turks 10 China, or elsewhere anu SUI sun
the dainty cigarette will remain the Cnsi "a
acteristlc feature of the outht Oh 'he
Beau Brummel a.. .,.
THE glamour which surrounds the name
"Turkish' will have to be torn away-as
regards cigarettes. Pictures whlcn SNOW
a TAT Turk seated on a divan smoking
cIearette and surrounded by beautitul
harem girls will no longer delude
credulous public. .,.,. =,
mankind 10 cling to old Ideas and names
is responsible for the universal misnomer
"Turkish" cigarettes. They ceased TO De
"Turlish," he says, at the same tline
that Turkish rule over the nations OF the
Balkan peninsula stopped in lslz. bul-
Raria and other nations were entirey
freed from domination by turkey at the
end Of the Balkan war.
Most of tho tobacco used IN making So
called Turkish cigarettes comes from
Bulgaria, Macedonia and Servia,' said
Mr. stephano. Until the Balkan war the
Turks controlled the output of these coun.
tries, and hence the cigarettes were called
Turkish cigarettes. Now the Greeks ana
Bulgarans control the output, but the
name has clung.
Very little OF the Black Sea- tobacco
is used In making these cigarettes. The
same Is true of Smyrna tobacco. only
about II per cent. of this is used IN mix
ture. Before the outbreak of the war
quantities of Smyrna tobacco were shipped
to Greece and other countries, and this
supply can now Ibe drawn on. AS mat
ter of fact, Turkish cigarettes can DO
made without any mixture OF this to-
bacco and purely from that grown IN
Bulgaria and Greece. OF course, tho best
tobacco Is a blend of different kinds, ana
all the necessary kinds can be obtained
outside of Turkey.
"There need be no alarm on the score
of cigarette papers," continued MIR. Ste
piano There is large supply of these
in this country and in England. They
are made almost exclusively In France,
but the war has had no effect on the
industry"
So in 1850 the fashionable cigarette may
be called Grecian or Bulgarian What's
in a name?

N. J. MOTOR TRAFFIC LAW
BECOMES EFFECTIVE TODAY
State Commissioner Tells Employees
How to Enforce 1t.

How to Enforce 1t.
TRENTON, May 6.-The motor vehicle
regulation law. passed by the last Legis-
ordinances in municipalities, went into
Vehicles William l.. Dill issued a COM
munication to his inspectors, which in
part follows:
Your attention is directed to Chapter
156, Laws of 1915, in effect on May 6. 1915,
which is a comprehensive road law and
which automatically repeals all local
ordinances throughout the State relating
to traffic. The enforcement of the act
is placed upon the police of different
municipalities.
1.-THE act gives the inspectors of the
motor vehicle department the same
authority as the police in regulating all
traffic and the inspectors will be required
to cooperate with the different authorities
in their district.
THE act requires drivers approaching
an intersection to grant the right-of-way
to a vehicle approaching on the right;
requires bicycles to have an audible sig
nal and n light at night; requires drivers
in slowing or stopping to raise a whip
or hand; orders drivers to stop when a
whistle is blown by an officer; authorizes
police officers or inspectors of motor
vehicles to arrest, without warrant, any
person violating any provision of this
act. The officer upon satisfying himself
that the offender is a resident of this
State may instead of arresting him issue
a summons in the name of any police
court for his appearance at a later date.

JITNEY JOY RIDING DEAR
Young Men Who Engaged Bus Dis
cover This After Arrest.

Jitney joyriding is more expensive than
most persons think, according to the
statement before Magistrat Grelis, at
the Midvale and Ridge avenues station
today, of S. j. Morgan, of 1881 Arch
street. and Charles A. Brown, of 1923
Mount Vernon street.
Shortly before midnight they attempted
to leave the car at Ridge avenue and
Diamond street, and offered Greenburg
$3.50 for the evenings entertainment
Greenburg, however, demanded $3.50, and
when the men refused to pay he drove
the party to the Ridge and Midvale ave-
nues station, where the two men spent
the night discussing the high price of
jitney joyriding. This morning, Magis-
trate Grelis suggested that they com
promise and pay Greenburg S. which
they offered to do.
