Essentially conditions in Cuba to-

ago. If assassinations have ceased
it means, as l see it, merely that
the fear thrown into the Cuban die
tatorship by exposure led them to con-
clude them unwise. Added to this,
of course, is the fact that there had

Cigar Makers Fighting Bill
Which Threatens Big Injury
To American Cigar Industry

and means without public hearing.
The president of the United states in
his address to congress during the
present session urged the passage of
this legislation. Every mail-order
house in the United States is actively
interested in this measure.
Irreparable Injury Threatened
~ am sure you realize fully that if
this proposed legislation passes the
house of representatives and the
United States senate and is signed
by the president, it will do irrepar-
able injury to the cigar industry.
GAS threat to congress the post
master general of the United States
has notified all postmasters to not
accept parcel post of any kind for the
Island of Cuba after February 26,
1928. The post office department of
Cuba has threatened to abrogate the
parcel post agreement now existing
between the two countries unless ia
vorable consideration is given to
House Resolution 9195. The facts in
the case are that Cuba during the year
1927 sold and shipped to the United
States goods worth $243,000,000 as
against $160,000,000 worth of goods
shipped by the United States to Cuba.
Despite these facts, showing as
they do that the trade balance of 1927
favored Cuba by approximately $780,
100000, the present administration is
further desirous of letting the bars
down so that mail-order houses in this
country may develop a mail-order
business for the sale and distribution
by parcel post of small packages of
cigars. No evidence whatever was
submitted to the committee on ways
and means by the cigar industry of
Cuba, indicating their desire for the
passage of this legislation.
"You are urged to write your con-
gresham, and the United States sem
ators from your state, and request
your city central body and state fed
Grafton to do likewise, protesting Wig
orously against the passage of this
measure"

Hollywood Athletes Are

of Knute Rockne, who took the op-
portunity TO rap the Hollywood ath-

numerous in eastern colleges. He
was addressing the Iowa State COL

said the NOtre Dame football coach,
"infest hotel Hobbies. They are soft
and perfumed and boast raccoon

Then I would have the quarterback

stubborn. He might not choose to

is significant, as it emphasizes a bold
dot design and dots are a very inn

some smooth straws are dotted all
over, some embroidered, some painted
and some burnt in with a pyrograph
needle. AS to polka-dot silk prints
and other dress fabrics their name is
legion.

the present game is "all right"
has nothing wrong in it, and predict
ed that Yale will have a tough
time physically and psychologically"
next fall.
"Next fall the Yale team will play
the game as Mr.. Jones taught it,"
said Mr.. Stevens. '"The teams which
are expected to give Eli the hardest
tussles are Georgia, Army, Dart
mouth, Princeton and Harvard, be-
cause each will come set to win.
For this reason i expect it will be
hard for Yale to win all its games.
