PERCENTAGE OF GIRLS WHO
SMOKE

We don't know how many girls
smoke, and it is none of our bust
ness, but the reported statement
that SO per cent of those at a
certain college in the North are
habitual smokers has been ques-
toned by the dean of that instl-
tuition. This officer says that
no questionable on smoking has
ever been taken at the college,
and it is considered a too per-
sonal question to ask. A ma
jority of the girls live at home,
and in his opinion that whether
they smoke or, not is their own
affair, at least it is a matter for
their parents to look after rath-
er than the faculty of the coll
lege. The Savannah Press dis
cusses the matter briefly, saying:
"Many girls probably smoke
and do not feel that the habit is
likely to grow upon them. In
fact, as they grow older most of
them discard it, but just now it
has ceased to be a question of
who smokes and who does not,
smoke. AS the dean of the girls
institution in New York has an
swered, at is considered too
personal a question to ask"
When the practice commenced,
there were various criticisms
and innumerable protests. But
the custom has gone on and now
it ceases to shock. 1t seems that
young women do not have to go
off to school to take up the
habit"
Many girls do smoke, and they
have as much right to the enjoy
ment Of it as Boys have. The
harm in smoking in moderation
is fancied rather than real. 1t
is true that constant smoking and
inhaling the smoke, leaves the
throat and<the lungs with more
or less nicotine on them, is harm
full, and unless ones lungs and
throat are in good condition will
sooner or later ,aggravates any
trouble with which these may be
affected. But there. is nothing
immoral or degrading in smok-
ing. Many of the older men and
women of today have not forgot
ten that their grandmothers, and
maybe some of them recall that
their own mothers, used to
smoke their pipes, and enjoyed
them. And those women of 9TH
er days were as fine as ever lived.
The man or woman who has
not been accustomed to seeing
girls smoke may feel a bit of
Shock when they witness the COM
bination of girl and cigarette
the first time, but they soon
come to regard 1T as a matter
of course-as nothing more than
one of the various ways in which
the girls while away their time
and enjoy themselves.
If girl really wants to smoke
and her parents do not object to
it, there being no moral question
involved, it becomes a purely per-
sonal matter. The real question
is one of good or bad taste, SO
far as the public is concerned,
and the young woman who
smokes should refrain from do
ing so among persons who OBJ
ject to women smoking. The
personal side is question of
the effect of smoking on the in
djvidnals health--this applies to
both boys and girls. All young
persons under Is years of age
would be better off il, they did
not smoke at all,-Columbus En-
quirer Sun.
