LONDON, September 6.-Although
Ruth's ancient industry went out of
fashion in the United States long ago,
for which modern agricultural reap
ing machinery may be praised
or blamed, there are many places
throughout England, where the
cleaners bell may still be heard
in these early harvest days.
The bell notifies the village folk
that they may begin to CLEAN the
fields, and a casual passer through
the English countryside these days
may witness scenes closely akin to
the one which Millets canvas i'm
mortaliZes in the Louvre.
The cleaners bell can be heard
very near London, in the neighborinG
village of Farnham, in Essex. 1t
sounds from the church tower at 8
am, and at pm, as soon as har-
vesting is sufficiently advanced for
cleaning to be permissible.

Big City Gave Her Brick

There were no babies. Little

There are lot of others like
her on the verge Of rebellion only

LADY NICOTINE SETS
BUSINESS PACE
Crowds $4,000, CO., Goal =
Enormous Increase In
Cigarette Use

WASHINGTON, Oct. lc.-The
cigarette has turned pacemaker in
the business revival. Treasury fgu-
res and preliminary returns to the
business of making smokes for the
American people is increasing pro-
gressively at the rate of more than
one per cent a month. The industry
has swept past the 100000, 600
mark and is crowding its way to the
two billion goal, says a Washington
dispatch.
During the month of July, treasu-
ry figures disclosed, 6,583,000 ciga-
retts were manufactured in the Uni
ted States. This is an increase of
750,000,000 over the number in
July 1928. If the pace is maintain
ed there will be manufactured ard
sold in the United States during the
current fiscal year more than seven
ty-seven billion. In 1914 the NAM
Der manufactured was Is, 427,C00,
Within the decade the tobacco man
ufacturing industry has run up its
output 450 per cent.
For every adult in the United
States men and women, the ciga-
rette factories are turning out this
year almost 1900 cigaretts. This
means that during 1924 every nan
and woman over Fl years Of age will
be furnished an average of more
than three cigaretts a day. Two
years ago the per capita output was
500 cigaretts for every adult. Con-
sumption has increased. according
to bureau of internal revenue and
census figures, about so per cent
within two years.
This increase is attributed largely
to the rapid strides that the smoking
habit has made among women, a
habit that has been fostered quickly
and sedulously, it is claimed, by
some of the chief manufactures Of
the country. Feminine consumption
Of cigaretts is in its infancy. how

Perfumed Flags" for Women

Notwithstanding the enormous out
put there is a scarcity at the present
time it is said Of some Of the bands
of perfumed cigaretts used exclu-
sively by women. Apparently the
factories, working overtime, can't
make milady's cigarettes fast en-
ough.
As source of revenue Of the
government tobacco now ranks
third, figures just made public By
the bureau of internal revenue show
The tax collections from this source
amount to almost $1,000, 000N, 900
and the total for the year thus diver
ted to the treasury is exceeded only
by revenues from the income tax
and the tariff. The increase during
the past fiscal year was from sos
600, 600 to S324,000, 600. In 3l3,
when wartime taxes were in effect
receipts were $500 100000. With
in six years the flow of tobacco taxes
to the treasury has doubled and
within another six years, at the same
rate, tobacco taxes will exceed the
total of all customs duties.
The governments figures also
show that while cigarette smoking
has increased by almost so per cent
within three years the consumption
of cigars has decreased by % per
cent within five years. Cigar smok-
ing reached its zenith as a habit in
1917, the internal revenue bur au':

gars We're manufactured. With the
solitary exception with the DEGREES
sion in 1921 cigar smoking reached
its lowest point last year, when the
total number of cigars manufactur-
cd was 1900. O0O
Within the next few months the
census bureau will make public its
figures of the growth of the tobacco
manufacturing industries between
1921 and 1924. In the former years
the product of cigars and cigaretts
was placed at $815,0OO,O00. IA

acco has been grown and sold this

Louisiana Parish Saves
Money by Using Iron Ore

Iron ore, found In northwestern
Louisiana, has proved of great value
In road building In that state, and, In
some localities where 1t has been used
has effected a saving OF $1,000 to
$1,000 a mile In the cos Of cOnstruc-
tion.
Highway engineers In Louisiana
have been using the ore as a binder
instead of sand or clay, and have
found II far superior to that material
In many instances. During 1922 the
Louisiana state highway department
completed $50 miles of new roads.
Most Of this mileage consists OF gravel.
The remainder consists OF roads built
Of shells. sheet asphalt or bitulithie.
The 1923 program includes a larger
amount Of asphaltic construction,
Iron ore was first used In De Soto
parish, La. In 1917. Then a large de
posit was found northw est OF Arcadia.
Ore from this deposit Is being used as
a base course on the new Homer-Min-
den highway, the Arcadia atchitoches
highway. the Ruston-Arkansas high
way and the Pershing highway. The
state pays about 10 cents a yard in
royalties for this material, against 81
a yard In sand clay gravel. The saving
effected amounts to about $50 a yard.
