CIGARETTES
FOR WOMEN
Number Of Americans Who are Be
coming lnveterate Smokers
is Amazing, Medical
Officer Says.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, April 3.-,Surgeon
General Hugh S. Cumming, chiei
medical officer of the United States
government, today voiced an appeal
to American women to swear off the
cigarette habit.
DR.. Cummings appeal was based
on government reports which indi-
cate. that cigarette consumption in
creased Al percent in the United
States in the last year.
"The cigarette habit indulged in by
women tends to cause nervousness
and insomnia, running the conf
plexion," said DR.. Cumming.
IF American women generally con-
tract the cigarette habit as reports
now indicate they, are doing, the en-
tire American nation will suffer. The
physical tone Of the whole people
will be lowered.
."This is one of the most evil In
fluences in American life today. The
number Of American women who are
becoming inveterate smokers is
amazing.
1.-The habit harms a woman more
than man, however. The woman's
nervous system is more highly or
ganized than the mans. The reac-
tion on a woman, therefore, Is NOR.

Individual Responsibility.

significant feature of the pre-conven>
| tion campaigns is the awakening re-
alization of individual responsibility
by the American people, in the opin-
ion of trained political observers and
those identified with the various can
didacies.
The war, influx of women into poll
tics and chaning social and economic
conditions apparently have bred in
the people determination to have a
greater and more direct influence in
the affairs of government and a broad
er knowledge Of the general political
situation. This is evinced particu-s
larly by their searching inquiry into
the qualifications Of the men consider.
ed as presidential possibilities.
According to persons in close touch
with the situation, the voters are
showing an inclination to pry into the
Irrespective minds of the various cam
didates in a way never known before.
This inclination has manifested itself
in many ways, particularly through
the good natured 'heckling" of politi-
cal speakers. Any person who under
takes to present the qualifications OF
Ia particular candidate these days
must be prepared to answer countless
questions hurled at him with bewild-
ering rapidity and variety. The can
didates themselves are not immune.
1t is the rule rather than the excep-
tion now for candidates, in the course
of an address, to face such a barage
as this:
''Mr. Jones, where do you stand on
the league of nations?' What do
you think of the income tax. Mr..
Jones?" what is your attitude to-
ward union labor?" Flow do you
propose to reduce the cost of living?
etc, etc. The questions are not
asked with view to embarrassing
speaker. They are intended to elicit
specific information, and they are
generally successful. The interoga-
tors include women as well as men.
Then there are the myriads of quasi
political organizations, often non-par-
tisan formed for the purpose of inn
proving the members knowledge of po-
litical, economic and social conditions.
Debates are held, papers read, and ex-
perts in both practical and theoretical
politics called in to make addresses.
Women dominate in most of these bod
les.
Politicians accept these and other

the request Of the state department

measures would be taken to prevent

Mrs. Corliss said there would be
no more picketing and stated she

OPIUM PIPE IS TAKEN IN RAID;
 COURT FINES THREE

A baking powder can, a hollow brass knob such as those used to adorn bed posts. a bit of muslin and 2 tobacco pipe proved damaging evidence when the city introduced them in police court yesterday to prove that velidlee Myers, a negro woman. had an opium layout in her possession. Fanny and Rupert Anderson, negroes. were also tried on a similar charge, but the Hay -out' which the police presented in evidence as belonging to them was less compli- cated.
 Police officials were unanimous in declaring the opium smoking outfit found in the rooms occupied by Nelid- lee Myers at 137 South Sixth street was the most original and unique ever brought to public attention. Led by Police Captain Sutherland, Officers Frasier. Findeu, Williams. McCIoud, CiIluk, Sullivan and Evans made the raid on the store and residence occu- pied by Yelidlee Myers early Sunday morning.
 Tn a baking powder can taken in the raid the officers found a quantity of yenshee. Captain Sutherland dis covered the pipe wrapped in news paper at the head of the bed in the room occupied by Nelidlee Myers. Of- ficer Williams found the brass bed knob through the top of which a tiny hole had been punched. An extra long stem had been attached to the pipe and a piece of muslin stretched across the bowl to catch the opium dregs. The brass knob fit snugly into the bowl of the tobacco pipe, converting it into a very effective opium outfit. The Andersons occupy rooms above those of the Myers woman and there the police found the usual opium smoking apparatus.
 The defendants were found guilty of having opium smoking outfits in their possession and fined s100 each. NeIid lee Myers will be tried today on a second charge Of attempting to sell
 liquor.
