Kansas is a wonderful state for sta
tistics. We have statistics on wheat,
statistics on corn. on diseases, on l1af1r,
on births and deaths: on railroad
mileage, automobiles, Joint raids, hogs
and babies. But there is an interest
ing group of figures that Kansas has
overlOoked-the number of young
women in the state who have smoked
cigarettes a some time in the course
of their lives.
Statistics of this nature would be
hard to get, but it is known that oc-
casionally a Kansas maiden will take
a bet or a dare and inhale the fumes
of a cigarette. Topeka, they say, has
come to the forefront in that respect.
There is a society girl in Topeka
who really enjoys the coffin nails
SHE is not exactly addicted to the
habit, but she lights a pill once in
while because she likes it and admits
that she does Still another likes
strong cigars The first one she
smoked belonged to her father. She
and another girl filched it from his
strong box and pulled it up, turn and
turn about. The effects were not so
terrible as she expected, so she pur-
loins a panatela now and again.
A certain Washburn girl, we are
told. decided she would like pipe.
After a few draws at fathers old
"hod,' her opinions began to undergo
a change, She was away from school
two days. and when she left the house
down the street was enough to make
her turn her swimming young head
while the awful continuance passed by
on the other side.
So cigars and pipes are more or less
frowned upon. They interfere with
a good complexion, but it is not wild
estimate to say that 80 out of every
100 young women in Topeka, under IS /
years of age, have smoked cigarettes
Some may not have taken more than
a puff or two. and it is something of a
feat to finish one. while a few have |
learned TO roll their own.
A state board should be created to |
gather the facts. 1t would furnish |
some one a state office, besides afford |
perusa1 of the public.
