Madison broke in there, before Sad

Il do not think any one could point

LONDON, November 4.-Half a mil

bIunt of a trade war between the gi-
gantic Imperial Tobacco Co. and a
group of independents led by an Ameri-
can-owned firm.
The American firm, which came into
the field about q year ago, began offer
ing premiums with its cigarettes, through
the coupon system. Other independent
manufacturers soon did likewise, and
the coupon cigarettes began to enjoy
greatly increased sales. Even cigar man
ufacturers fell into line. Imperial To-
bacco Co. has declared war on coupon
premiums.
The British company previously had
initiated system Of bonus" arrange
ments with the individual shopkeepers,
which is estimated to include almost
rs per cent of the British retailers. Un-
der this bonus arrangement, the Inn
periaI Tobacco Co. returns approx

boards OF strategy continue to marshal
their regiments Of pounds sterling in the
crucial struggle for leadership.

Subway Express
Offers New Surprises.
DISCOVERY that the relentless
pursuit of a mysterious slayer
offers even more thrills than q dis
play of law defiance is one reason
why Subway Express" drama OF
originality, now at the National, Is
assured the certainty of receiving
attention. The perfect crime" has
never been achieved, according to
the writer's of fiction, but here Is
an approach to the perfect third
degree" applied, not to individual
suspects, but to a carful OF pas
ssngers. The opening performance,
last evening, displayed form Of en-
tertainment which has various
meritorious points, not the least OF
which Is the use of sensational ma
terial to stimulate, in new way, all
kinds of people.
The authors, Eva Kay Flint and
Martha Madison, evidently believing
that it was possible to focus alert
minds for whole evening on a sin
gle setting, with the same group OF
people occupying the space, discov-
cred a plot which had the necessary
qualifications involving practical
questions as to danger in subway
trains. Odd characters of the me-
tropolis serve the double purpose Of
engaging in irrelevant diversions
and at the same time throwing light
on the mystery of the play. At all
times, the stage Is filled with these
specimens of city life, and while
under other conditions 1t might be
charged that the play Is "talkey," 1t
is this very element that provides
the humorous features that mingle
effectively with the business Of find-
ing how q man lost his life, and
who was responsible.
The interior of o subway car Is
represented on the stage. The char
acters are a mixture of persons with
guilty knowledge, who disclose little
special excitement In the presence
of death, and innocent passengers
who are under a severe strain. 1t
is probable that a new record has
been set by Subway Express" in
the matter Of constant succession Of
suspense and surprise. The car itself
gives the impression of rapid mo-
ton, with those customary jolts that
accompany station STOPS. It is q
stage picture of real life.
The central figure is Inspector
Hammer, whose duty it Is to solve
the death mystery while the train
continues on it's way; Leo Curley,
who plays the inspector, carries out
his assignment in the cast with the
vigor required by his lines. A mem

CRIMINALS COST

100 Boys Could Be Given Aid

Every criminal in the United States
costs as much cas- the welfare infiu-
ence in the lives of 100 normal boys"
a Youth Committee said today in re-
port prepared for the White House
Child Conference.
This opinion was based on estimates
that the annual crime bill is in excess
of $4,000, 100000, the annual child
of criminals less than 100000 and
that child welfare affects 100000
youths.
The modern realty developer, plan
ming his subdivisions with parks and
Fairgrounds, was hailed in the report
as a benefactor to boys and girls.
Disintegration of residence areas, on
the other hand, was blamed for delin-
quency.-
City planning commission laws, like
those of New York and New Jersey, to
make the environment fit the child,
were urged. The report will be submit

perts here this month.
The committee found that delin-
quency flourished In neighborhoods

A scientific study of Al compre-
hensively planned real estate develop
ments, however, was said TO disclose
active community interest in garden

The real estate development, the
Youth Committee argued, "automati-
cally brings together as residents

similar scales of expenditure"

mon facilities, such as parks and play
grounds, or of distinct residence char

residents are forced to associate and
to enter into concerted efforts in order
to preserve and promote their common
interests" it added. "A community en-
vironment, it seems, Is created in the
modern city whenever new subdivision
provides certain common rights or ia
cilities such as school sites, Fairgrounds
and parks"
The committee urged creation Of city
planning commissions with powers to
educate subdividers regarding the
financial advantages of community fea-

thur Capper. The article follows:
I bought a fine Jersey COW that
had the reputation of being a con
firmed kicker. Ordinary methods
had failed to stop this habit, so af-
ter bringing the COW home / called
in our local veterinarian, who found
a small growth upon one teat, near
the udder. In the process of milk
ing this growth was pressed against
the channel, causing irritation. Up
on his suggestion I had the lump re-
moved and after the wound had
healed, the kicking stopped entirely.
/ have learned by experience that
many cows kick and strike either
from pain. or from the fear of pain,
and usually the owner is not aware
of the cause until after the vice has
become chronic. Straps, hobbies and
crates seldom effect permanent
cure, and often make bad condi-
tiOu worse
