An astonishing feat is to lay the tin

with the remainder hanging over the

The cigarette must previously be pre-.

Naturally, the weight Of the cigarette is
now all at one end. and it can easily

Field Marshal Haig
in Whiskey Business

LONDON, July 26 - ASSOCIATED
Press Mail) - Field Marshal Earl
Haig has been elected a direc-
tor of the Distillers' Company 1T the
annual meeting held in Edinburgh.
The chief product of the company is
whiskey. There are some people
who think it rather detracts from the
Field Marshal's dignity and reputa-
ton to be interested in a business of
that sort, but their disapproval is hard
ly as vocal as it would be in America
The Haigs have long been financially
interested in Whiskey.
Earl Haig is usually credited with
being thorough in all that he does,
and he intends to be thorough in the
whiskey business. When he was ask
ed to join the Board of Directors he
consented, it was stated, on the I'M
derstanding that he would be no
mere figure-head, but would take his
full share of the work as well as of
the responsibility attached to the
Office"
He is likely to have plenty to do.

to increase greatly it's whiskey out

Coal Mine Strikes :
Give Light TO Mules

HAZLETON, Pa. Aug. 1O-(Associat
ed Press Mail)-The coal mine mule,
which ordinarily spends years of his
life in the darkness of mine tunnels
far under ground, retains his eyesight
even though he does not use his eyes.
So veterinarians in the anthracite
region have determined following eX-
animation of many of the mules which
have been brought to the surface since
the mines closed down last spring.
With this announcement the veterin-
arians exploded a theory held by
many for years-that because he did
not have any use for his eyes, the
mule lost his sight.
The coal mine mule usually begins
life like any common farm mule. Once
he becomes a mine worker, however,
things change. He is sent far under
ground into the dark workings of the
hard coal mines and there he stays,
often for the remainder of his life.
Being a hardy animal he sometimes re-
mains in the mines for 20 years with
out seeing daylight.
When the mules were hoisted to the
surface and turned loose upon the
companies properties some of them
blinked a bit at the sunlight. When
the veterinarians looked them over
they found their eyes were there and
as good as ever.
