A TOBACCO MANS ROMANCE
(New York sun)

As some cigarette smokers may know, the best Turkish tobacco is grown in what&vas formerly European Turkey, in that country, southern Macedonia, where the Bulgars and the French and Serbians are now tramp ling the fields into blood soaked mire. Up among the rocks of the mountains that separate southern Albania from the Monastir district there is soil in which grows tobacco so fragrant that it was never exported at all until re- gently, but was consumed entirely by the Turks of high rank, including the Sultan himself. Such tobacco would bring as high as $25 a pound-five Turkish liras. ss
 It is a peculiar fact that it was through the, late King Edward of Eng land that Turkish tobacco became famous over the rest of the world. Forty-five years ago a poor Armen- iat, who made a scanty living in Lon- don by making cigarettes received visit from a stranger who had heard of his cigarettes from a club friend. They had chat, and the stranger as he was about to leave congratulated the Armenian on the excellent quality of his tobacco, and inquired why he did not open store. The Armenian replied that he had not the necessary capital.
 "Oh,, that doesn't matter" replied the stranger cheerfully; here's my card. Go and take shop" And then he walked out. The poor ci-

GRAMIGNA AIDS IN SANITATION DRIVE

The appointment of John Gram1gna of 1862 Stratford avenue, as one or the inspectors of the health depart ment, is highly gratifying to the members of the new Ita1ian-American Political league. MT. Gramigna is the local representative of La Opinione, a printed in Philadelphia in the Italian language.
 s The services of MT. Gramigna were highly desirable because of his great acquaintance among Italian-speaking people and the influence for better sanitation that he can exercise. It has been hard: for the health depart ment, because of difference in lan- guage, to get good results in the col onies of foreign-born persons, and the assistance of MT. Gramigna is making this work much easier.
 The executive committee of the league will meet tonight to arrange plans for the mass meeting to be held in Arion hall on Sunday afternoon.

CHARTER DRAFT
 READY SOON FOR COMMON COUNCIL
Committee Expects to Have It Completed Early In
 September.

The committee appointed to draft a proposed commission form of govern ment charter expects to have that document ready to submit to the com- mon council at its first meeting in September. The committee will hold it's final meeting to ratify the final draft of the charter August 20. The mayor may submit the charter to the people for ratification not more than 90 days or less than 60 days after it is offered. In his last annual message Ihe intimated that he considered the charter was of such importance that it ought to be voted on at special election instead of at the national elections when other questions which were being decided might overshadow it's importance.
 A vote of 20 per cent. of the regis tration will be required on the initia- tive, the referendum and the recall ac- cording to the provision to be inserted isl the commission form of govern ment charter. The committee ap- pointed to draft the charter met again yesterday in the office of Judge John s. Pullman, chairman of the commis- sion It had first been suggested that 60 per cent. of the registered vote be required but when the light vote which is registered at special elections was considered it was decided to make the required vote 20 per cent.
 Under the proposed commission charter the board of education, which will be separate body of five mern- bers, is given authority to sell or dis pose of school property, the proceeds to go into the school fund instead of the city treasury. The boar. has also the power to buy s.hoo1 property.

The tity auditor will be an officer sep arate from the commission The tax assessors will be appointed by civil service.
