CIGARETTES

The prejudice against cigarettes

Revenue for the year which ended on
June 3Oth last, shows the largest con-
sumption of cigarettes in history,
nearly one hundred and twenty bill
lion of them having been sold dur

1000 cigarettes year for every man,

POLITICS

After all the sound and fury over
the ratification of the Naval Reduc-
ton treaty, just nine Senators voted
against it.
By the noise they made, and the
amount of space which the news
papers gave to the opponents of the
treaty, most people were expecting,
if not defeat of the treaty, at least
very close vote. In Washington
everybody knew better. There never
was any real doubt that the treaty
would be ratified. All the uproar
was merely personal and partisan poll
tics.
The trouble with two-trirds of the
so>called news" that comes out of
Washington is that it is misleading.

"That'll make a big hit with the

made him escort her through the
dancing crowds to any table where
'he was expected.

FRAUDS

The Federal Government has be-
gun an active campaign against false,
fraudulent and misleading advertising.
The Federal Trade Commission has
announced policy of holding news
papers and magazines responsible
equally with the advertisers.
One result has been the cleaning
up of the advertising columns of the
less responsible publications in the
past few months. Another result has
been to send advertising frauds, espe-
cially medical quacks, into radio
broadcasting.
Sooner or later broadcasting will
have to be regulated, too.

Ivy was able to get back on the

through her dances with amazing skill
and pep. Her specially was the "acro-
bat1c waltz" Queenie' had mentioned,
and her performance was a revelation
to Eve, who humbly told herself that
as "substitoot" she had been a Joke.
Miss Davenport was born dancer;
which undoubtedly helped to explain
her employers patience with her at

not great," as Ivy expressed it. Mai

figure, did no solo-work at all, and

shook her head.
