Non-Smokers F orm
Union In England

LONDON, March 26 (P)-Non- -smok-
ers believe they haven't chance in
England and they don't like it.
They have formed the National
Society of Non Smokers and have
adopted badge which all members
are urged to wear as a warning to
railway officials, hotel, cafe and
theater proprietors.
Eve shan't appeal to the League
of Nations as an oppressed minority,
declared a prominent member of the
society. I'VE are not u minority.
We non smokers make UP at least
two thirds of the population of the
British Isles, but we are treated by
the railways, cinemas, cafes and
theaters as if we did not exist"
Men and women alike are very
generally ignoring mo Smoking
signs in England. Music halls,
cinemas and even many of the first
class legitimate theaters permit pipes,
cigars and cigarettes alike.
But the non-smokers are now pre-
pairing white list" Of theaters,
hotels and restaurants which forbid
smoking. The society is also making
an indignant protest against the
growth of the smoking habit among
clergymen.

Besides the cash corn trading sbasis
