 of East and Pleasant streets. In
 reply to a question of Chairman
 Frank l.. Conlon regarding the
 danger from traffic to the pupils of |, the East street school Gorbach
 said that he had already conferred with Chairman r. F. King of the school board who said that per | sonally he was not against it, al-
 though he said the matter would 2 be acted on at tho meeting Of the
 school board scheduled for March . %. It was consequently voted by
 the board to postpone action on the
 application until it's next meeting, , at which time the opinion of the
 school board will be available.
 Tn the course of the discussion
 Commissioner John Ohlson, evi- , dently weary of the number of gaso-
 line station applications, suggested
 the adoption of an ordinance which would make the installation of gas pumps on the property of all tax
 raycrs obligatory. Several other ap- plications for filling stations were
 read and action on them was de-
 ferred until after an inspection has
 been made.

Who wins? Your Cigar or Your Matches?

It was one of those light-up and die-out cigars. And this smoker had struck hree choked-draft cigars in a string. And then he changed to Blackstone.
 This is what he discovered: There isn't a poor-drawing Blackstone in a thousand. There isn't a bitter puff in a box full. There isn't leaf of any tobacco but costly, fragrant Havana in the Blackstone filler.
 It's this unchanging goodness which accounts for the fact that nearly half of all Blackstones are bought in pocket packages of 5 and 10 foil-wrapped cigars - the same mild, full sized Biackstones as those sold from the cedar boxes. It will pay you, too, to change to Blackstone,
 Blackstone was a fine cigar 5 years ago. It was even finer 10 years ago. It is atits very finest in this year of 1925!
