Doesn't Want Me to Smoke
Whenever Bob forbids me to do
thing. it suddenly becomes the only
thing l care to do. I've never had the
slightest desire to smoke-not even
in college. when the girls used to
buv Gags" and think they were des-
perately sporty" when they smoked
in the dormitory with guard at the
top of the stairs. and incense burn

pound that oriental odor made with
American tobacco! Only matron
who had lost all her senses could have
failed to detect it.

seemed a silly affectation. | usually
made the fudge for the crowd.
And so / knew perfectly well that

ing up the nicotine fad. But II my
husband commanded me not to, why,
his order became an incentive.
And so, in spite of my recent de-
termination to be as humble as Blue
boards first wife, and to avoid all
big and little differences of opinion
with Bob, / found myself heading
once more for the hard rock of his
pronounced displeasure.
Bob is most unfairp' said myself
to myself. HE smokes good deal.
I'd like to know what sex has got to
do with smoking"
AS we walked over to call on Ann
and present Bob's little gift, | put my
query thus:
"You wouldn't use enough tobacco
to harm a humming bird, my dear.
It's the looks of the thing. My love,
| will not let my wife smoke. If you
use tobacco at home you'll do so IN
public. | will not have other men see
nv wife behind a cigaret. That ends

mirth concealed very serious rebel

that way?'

PAPER AIR-CUSHIONS

The Pathfinder: For centuries the
Japanese have been making air-bags
for various purposes out Of paper.
For such bags they use paper made
OF bamboo FIBER an exceptionally
strong paper material. Thispaper is
built up in six or eight thin tissue-like
layers, laid so that the grain of the
different sheets will alternate. Flex-
ible shellach cement is used to hold
the sheets together and then this
makes the whole air-tight. The shell
lac gives the finished product dull
reddish color which is unattractivc
and make the cushions and other air
bags even when new appear old. This
dull color was largely responsible for
The failure of such goods, despite the

News Print Situation

Two large daily newspapers have
dropped editions lately to save news
print.
The New York Evening Sun has
abandoned its Bulletin Edition
which went to press at 1890 in the
morning. The first edition of the
Evening Sun is now the midday edi-
ton" which goes to press at 11:15.
Beginning tomorrow" announced
Frank A. Munseyl in signed state.
ment in the EveIsing Sun, recently,
the bulletin edition will be discontin-
ued for the present, This discontin-
uance is made NECESSARY by the ex-
IRENE shortage of news print paper.
since this restriction in output is
compulsory it cam best be made at
this point, as the early morning edi-
ton is the least valuable, and least
representative of any of the issues of
the day.
This year, 1920, would easily carry
the fast growing circulation of the
Evening Sun on to 100000 copies a
day, if we had the paper on which to
print It, But we haven't it and can
not get it, so we are compelled to
throttle its growth. So far as we can
see now, about all we can promise you
in the near future is a circulation Of
100000 copies daily, or just bit be-
yond this figure enough beyond to
make full measure 100000.
This restriction in the circulation
of the Evening Sun is not the only
sacrifice it must make because Of
