Miss Mary Winsor. of Haverford,
Pa, as the Susan 3. Anthony OF
the Smokes for Women" move
ment.
In defiance of the Senate Rules
Committee. Miss Winsor. who IL
relative OF the aristocratic
Winsors of Massachusetts,. smoked
two cigarettes yesterday in the
Senate lunch room. She an
nounced today that she would
call on Senator Moses. chairman
of the committee, to demand
equal smoking rights for wom-
en- in the Capital. That the Sem
ate Of the United States should
permit men to blow smoke into
women's faces, and deny the
women the right to blow back,
she branded as an outrage.
Cause. Stir With Puns.
More than a stir was created
when she lighted her first cigar
cite in the Senate lunch room.
Walters who rushed to inter-
cept her puffs wavered as she
stared coldly at them and contin-
ued to blow smoke into the air.
Ladies don't smoke here"
finally ventured the most cour-
ageous African among them.
BY whose orders?" demanded
Miss Winsor.
The waiter answered that II
was by the orders of 'Mistah
Moses"
"Who runs this place." asked
Miss Winsor.
Senator Moses. Miss. of the
rules committee" said the waiter.
Calmly Lights second.
VERY we'll" said Miss Winsor,
81 shall see Senator Moses about
it," then calmly lighted her sec
ond cigarette.
Feminists applauding her stand
declared today that it was time
to demand a single standard for
smoking, and intimated that
Smokes for Women" may be
made campaign issue. They
limited that the Republican party
may be held responsible for SEN
ator Moses IL he does not yield to
Miss Winsor's protest.
Campaign slogans are being
suggested such as Don't Give
Up the Smokes. Girls" "Stick by
Your Gigs, Women OF America"

Ancient Grains Do7Not terminate.
|. The United States department OF
;GgrScuftural gives hard knock to the
stories about the termination , Of
wheat and other cereals found
wrapped with ancient Egyptian num-
mics. It!says that close investigation
proves all such reports to be fictitious.
French tests show that grain more
than few years old will not germi-
mate. Tests indicate that when seeds
me kept under ideal conditions, wheat,
banley and oats may terminate up to
eight or ten years. but few IL any
grains are; alive after 20 years.
