Do You Use Your
Share of Tobacco9

Anti tobacco folks may shudder
with horror when they learn that
four times as much OF the weed is
used by each person now as during

Eight pounds per capita is the pres
ent yearly consumption in comparf-
son with two pounds half a century
ago. according to recently compiled
figures from the Bureau of Crop Es-
Inmates showing the consumption of
tobacco.
In 1890. the first year for which
estimates are available, $4,000, 900
pounds were used. Fifty years later
it had grown to 10000. .o0e pounds
By 1850 the quantity was 2l9, ,00o, 900
pounds. High year was 1917, when
1000, 100000 pounds were used in
this country. The average for the
past two years was s14.oo0,0 200
pounds.
Back O.. in the '30's the average
yearly per capita consumption was
3.3 pounds. This dropped to
pounds following the civil war. then
steadily climbed to 81 pounds in

then.

week to push forward plans for the
red letter day.
Senior boys approve the decision
of their sisters to keep dress ex-
penses low. Other District high
schools and some private academies
plan to follow the lead of Central
High. Both boys and girls believe
a simple standard of dress goes a
long way to prevent class distinc-
tions between the pampered daugh-
ters of plumbers and bricklayers
and the children of the struggling
masses.
Reports of senior class meetings
from other cities show that the
movement for cheaper dress ex-
penses is almost nationwide but
is taking a conservative course
rather than joining any radical old
clothes movement.
