New Cigarette Is Due
OF Revolutionary Blend

Rumors Of a new cigarette of a
revolutionary blend. which have
been invading the tobacco industry,
were confirmed today by George
Whelan, chairman Of the board of
the Union Tobacco Company.
Mr.. Whelan said the new ciga-
rette would make it's appearance in
a few weeks. but its name was
withheld. The cigarette will come
within the popular priced field, he
declared.
"The character Of the cigarette, ;"
Mr.. Whelan said. els such as to
take it out of the convention at
tending the appearance Of just an
other brand. Normally. the intro
duction of a cigarette is solely the
function of advertising, but this
cigarette cores entirely outside of
that classification because Of its ex-
traordinary character.
ITO be sure this cigarette will be
adsertised-and extensively. Natu-
rally. newspapers will be used, for
the success that other brands have
made through the use of newspa-
per advertising establishes the fact
that success in cigarette marketing
comes through the consistent use
of newspapers at the proper time,
but for the moment all that can
be said Is that such a cigarette is
in the process of manufacture and
that it will differ radically from
preSent-day blends.

You need never be afraid to give

Repair Tops of Cars
Before Fall. He Advises

Tops Of both open and closed cars
are features that get very little at.
tention until fall comes along with
it's steady downpours to reveal that
the condition of these units is not
what they should be. This ie pointed
out by Morris Weeks, Of the Wash.
ington Cadillac Company's mainte.
mace division.
Tops are made of constantly
better materials. but they are sub.
ject to sun. rain, snow. sleet and
other conditions that are conducive
to deterioration, says Mr.. Weeks.
For this reason, the far-sighted
motor car owner viii give a thought
to the condition of the cars top
before fall gets definitely under
way. Once the top has started on
the road to ruin. there is little
chance to save it. but there are
numerous. simple measures that
may be taken before 1t reaches this
stage.
Treat the top to a thorough
cleaning and dressing and it may
be dismissed from ones mind for
the rest of the winter. If this is
not done, it may be source of
annoyance and expense throughout
the whole period until spring."

Ware TO Be BARRED,
WILSON PREDICTS.
Contender for Senate Seat
Confident Over Recount of
Philadelphia Votes.

BY the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA. January Is
William r. Wilson, Secretary of Labor
under President Wilson and Demo
cratic opponent of William s. Ware
for the United States Senate, believes
that the Senate's investigation of the
Pennsylvania election will show that
he was elected and not Mr.. Ware, as
Indicated by the official returns.
. He so asserted last night in address
ing Jackson day dinner at the Belle
Vue-Stratford Hotel, at which the
name of Gov. AL Smith of New York
as Democratic presidential possibil
ity was received with prolonged cheers
and Republican claims of Nationwide
prosperity We're challenged.
Expects to Re Seated.
Mr. Wilson said he was not prepared
at present to give details of what he
expected would be brought out in the
senatorial investigation, but he told
the diners that Mr.. Ware would not
take his seat, and that he himself ex
pected to be the next United States
Senator from PENNSYLVANIA. Pointing
out that he had come to the PhiIa-
delphia County line from the rest of
the State with $4,000 majority. and
that he had $4,000 majority in the
State outside of Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh, MIR. Wilson asserted that the
investigation would reveal fraud and
corruption in these two cities and that
the chances are that the Ware ma
jority will be overcome"
Challenging Republican claims of
prosperity, Representative OldfieId of
Arkansas, chairman of the Demo
cratic congressional committee, as.
serted that whatever prosperity had
been enjoyed had been among "a few
privileged classes. The farmer and
wage Garner. he said, were '1n dis
tress." He criticized the administra-
tons foreign policy, which he said
had resulted in suspicion and dis
trust" being directed against the
United States.

I'VE have hardly friend left south
of the Rio Grande," he said, "and all
over the world we have aroused
hatreds which have had such serious
communicated that our trade Is fall
ing off. This to such an extent that
for large part of last year the trade
balance was against us.
Distortion of the Monroe doctrine
to protect exploitation by great cor.
porate interests has aroused the fear
among southern people that we are
embarked upon a policy of imperial
istc exploitation, and at this very
hour, in consequence, there are threats
Of an economic boycott in Latin Ameri-
