The waiter hurried up to them max
ing nervous gestures. They managed
to understand that women may smoke
inside a Paris cafe, but they must not
smoke outside on the street front
In Paris women do smoke publicly
under cover.
French men smoke enough to make
up. Since the war. 1t is more and
more common to see them smoking a
pipe on the street. That was once a
sure sign of a travelling Englishman,
while Americans usually smoked ci-
gars in public. With Frenchmen it
was mostly cigarettes. Nowadays
the women who smoke smoke only
cigarettes--with a snowy cigarette
holder, of course.
What is surprising is that the fig
ures OF the government monopoly,
which sells all the tobacco sold in
the country, show that pipe tobacco
sells five times as much as cigars
and cigarettes together. More sur
prising still, three times more snuff
snuff as cigarettes. From the streets
and cafes, the Impression would be
that cigarette smoking used UP most
tobacco, whereas 1t is not one-sev-
enth Of the whole amount of tobacco
smoked.
The figures of the tobacco monopoly
Of France are impressive just because
the monopoly is so complete. No to-
bacco, whether in leaf or manufac-
tured. can be bought in foreign coun-
tries to be brought into France and no
tobacco can be grown or manufac-
tured or sold in France itself except
through the state monopoly. And the
monopoly OF matches is a part of 1t.
To know how many individual
matches are struck by Frenchmen in
a year would not be so instructive as
these figures showing exactly how
much tobacco is consumed. There can
be no doubt about the figures. be-
cause tobacco selling in France Is
just like post Office keeping in the
United States. It is a government job
and government knows how many
postage stamps are made and sold.
Tobacco smuggling. mostly in trav-
elers' pockets, Is very little.
In 1922 tobacco Of all kinds and in
all shapes was sold In France to the
amount of 11s,0o0.0oo pounds, as fol-
lows: Cigars, 2.s4o.33S pounds; cigar
cites. 15,6s1.s73 pounds; chewing to-
baoco, 2,417,9s5 pounds; snuff, $780,
$50 pounds; smoking tobacco, S5,361,-
635 pounds.
Let us get our minds clear about all
this tobacco. There are still more
surprising things to say about French
tobacco as it is sold in other coun-
tries.
Cigars are and have always been

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

A man who was United States
treasurer under the Wilson admins
tration became a partner in broker
age firm in New York, and the firm
later went broke, entailing huge
losses on customeFs. Subsequent
court proceedings elected the infor-
nation that he got $500 a week for
being a partner, but rendered no
service. When asked if it was not
apparent to him that the only thing
the brokerage firm wanted was the
prestige of his name, he replied: u
did not think so at the time, but
realize it now" There were several
men in the Wilson administration who
were too dense to understand wher
they were being used as tools by th'
INSCRIPTIONS.

SIGMA CHI WINS
COLLEGE DIAMOND TITLE

The Sigma Chi nine won the intra-
mural baseball championship at Mon
tana State College Friday afternoon,
when it took the final game of the
series from the Independents by the
score of 81 to IL. 1t was that style
of baseball common in back alley and
vacant lot leagues, where everybody
but the catcher took a whirl at the
pitching science, and home runs, err
rors and scoring is so prevalent that
the cash register fails to keep count
with the score.
In the first inning the game showed
possibilities, but the few %glimmerings
of real baseball were lost in the Sec
ond canto when Is runs and seven
errors were chalked up. 1t took just
six innings to tally up 33 runs, %
hits, 10 walks, "a errors and A hOme
runs.

CONDEMNS GOV
EMINENT OWNER
ship Of RAILROADS

From recent u~tterances Of accred-
tied representatives of railroad labor
organizations, it is manifest that the
prospects of the Plumb plan for
government ownership do not in re-
atty voice the sentiments of rail m
ployes. Neither do the few radical
agitators in railway employee organic
atoms represent the real attitude Of
the employees toward the management.
W. N. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
in an address before the chamber of
commerce Of the United States at its
eleventh annual meeting in New York,
declared that the interests of the rail
workers in the prosperity of the rail-
road companies was second to none,
and that the workers oppose the prin-
ciple of government ownership. Mr.,
Doak paid his respects to the political
propaganda who attacks the car
riers, saying: "The reformer must
have a theory, a ticket on which tt

ANOTHER HOG SLAUGHTER
RECORD.

Another monthly hog-slaughter
record was made during the month of
March, 1928, when 4~,S37,791 hogs
were slaughtered in establishments
operating under federal meat inspec-
ton, according to the United States
department of agriculture. This
number breaks the best previous rec
ord for a month of March, which was
made in the year 1918, by 911,SO5;
and it exceeds the number killed in
March, 1922, by 1,487,577, or "A per
cent.
The heaviest slaughter of hogs usu-
ally occurs in the winter months, and
more hogs were slaughtered during
each of the months of December,
1922, and January, 1928, than in
March, 1923. However, the months of
December, 1922, and January and
February, 1928, show an increase in
number of hogs slaughtered of ap-
proximately 80 per cent over the
| same months of the previous winter
These figures show that an unusually
large number of hogs were fed anC
! marketed during last fall and winter

entertained n for the other. In
most instances the operating officers
of the various lines are promoted
employees who have come up from the
ranks. There is today, in so far as
are concerned, nc trouble of any
kind with the management; neither
is there any friction, so you may be
assured that industrial peace is ev-
erywhere apparent so far as the rail-
roads and transportation employees
are concerned. The sooner we re-
alize that we can be each others
best friends and most helpful aids,
OF that we can be the most harmful
enemies, the better off we will be-"
When men of Mr.. Doak's promi-
hence give voice to such sentiments,
they may be taken as expressive of
the prevailing opinion of the interests
they represent, and the country will
have little patience with Mr.. McAdoo
and other political agitators who per-
sist in their attempts to stir up trou-
bic between the railroads and EN-
ployes.

mornings assembly that shook the
gymnasium from foundation to at
tic. Coming as the climax to the
awarding of letters to athletes who
had made places for themselves in the
various branches Of collegiate sports,
the presentation To Ray McCarren,
Bobcat football captain for 1922, of a
gold watch by the college and Boze-
mar people, put the student body in
an uproar.
And all the little captain could say
as he received his gift was: "It will
be a long time before I forget this
day"
Sweaters and letters were present
ed to the football, basketball and
track men, as we'll as the athletic
managers, and the winner of the
cross-country run.
Following the assembly a banquet
for the IN" men was held at Kra-
mer's Cafe.

ride into office, so he usually picks
the railroads as the best plank for
his platform. The best guarantee for
his success is the imagined iniquities
of the railroads and the alleged cor
ruption of management and employees.
He promises relief in the form of low
transportation rates, with special
privileges to the masses. In most
instances he leads the unsuspecting
public to believe that ne viii rescue
the poor downtrodden people from the
political wilderness, and we usually
find, often to u sorrow, that it was
only a dream. Our railroads and
their employees in my opinion are be-
ing mistreated in the matter of pub
lie handling, which should certainly
cease"
That statement should be interest
ing to William G. McAdoo. who is
committed to the government owner
ship policy.
Mr.. Doak completed his address
with the following assurances that
! misunderstanding between the roads
ard the employees are being cleared
away:
LET me set at rest any thought
that the management Of the railroads
is held in disdain by the railroad EN-
ployes or that there is any great fric.
ton between the two. The most cor
dial relations exist and the most
wholesome respect and good will is

GERMAN MARINE BIGGER.

German shipyards are said to have
more than returned to their pre-war
state. Our own yards and merchant
fleet would have done the same had
it not been for President Harding's
energetic enforcement of the mer-
chant marine act. He would have
preferred to have at his command the
provisions of the ship aid bill, defeat
ed at the last session by a Democrat
ic filbuster. He vas denied that leg
islation, but will utilize everv power
granted him under the present law
to keep the American flag on the
ocean trade routes.

PUBLICLANDS
MAY BEADDEDT To
FOREST SERVICE
=.

Anticipating that Congress may
soon require detailed information re-
garding the public domain, especially
land suitable for grazing, in the vi
entity of the national forests, the dis
trict forester at Missoula has called
on the supervisors of forests of Mon
tana and north Idaho for data re-
garding the quantity of public domain
lands which might to the public ad-
vantage be added to the present ma
tional forest area.
This is a direct result of the gen.
eral support given Colonel w. B.
Greeley, chief forester of the United
States, when he made several propOs-
ais at a meeting of the National Live
stock Association in California last
February. At that time, Colonel
Greeley pointed out that there are in
the United States about ITS 900, 900
acres of unreserved public domain
land which is suitable for grazing
and is still a f~ree~for-all grazing
commons without protection or regu-
lation of any kind. He pointed out
the we'll known fact that much of this
area is being ruined by unregulated
use and that the welfare of adjacent
communities suffers correspondingly.
It is Colonel Greeley's opinion that
some kind of control of such public
lands is n of tn essential factors
for better stabilizing the livestock in.
dustry. His suggestion to the meet
ing was that while the secretary o.
agriculture, through the forest serv
n ice, is prepared to undertake the worl
of control Of these lands, if Congress
d and the stock industry wish it, the es
e sential point is not who will do tn
s work, but that it be done.
VI A small portion of this public do
r main land is so distributed that vari
e GUS parcels of it form natural part
of present national forest range unit,
It would be logical that these be ad
ministered by the forest service, to
gether with adjoining national fores
lands, as this would be the most eco
: nomical way to handle the matter.
