When people ask-"Does to-
bacco do you any harm?" the
question cannot be answered
simply "yes" or mo" 1t must
be analyzed.
Does it mean "will the use OF
tobacco shorten your life?" The
answer to that in most instances
is decidedly no.
In view of the widespread
use of tobacco among women
today, part Of the question
must be put this way: Does
the use of tobacco by the
mother have any influence on
the health of children?" The
answer here is without any
reservations, mo" Does 1t
have any effect on the repro
ductive functions at an-num-
ber of children, etc?" The
answer again is mo"
The evidence for these state
ments will be given in later
articles this week.
Does Not Cause Disease
Does tobacco cause any dis
ease?" Not any definite or.
ganic disease. If the tissues OF
a tobacco using person are put
under the microscope they can
not be distinguished from nor
NAL tissues.
Well, what does it do? 1t
causes some physiological or
functional changes. What do
we mean by that? We-mean
that it causes a change in the
method or rate by which differ
ent organs perform their tunc-
tions, but no change in the
structure of those organs. For

pressed the bell as firmly as
possible. She was frightened
and she knew it. Don't be an
IDIOT" she told herself, but
telling didn't help somehow.
The door opened and she
found herself facing a erave,
lean butler.
She stammered something
and then discovered she was
holding out the advertisement,
plucked from her purse.
"If could see Mrs. Lorrimer

His face did not change, al
though his eyes flickered briefly
with some emotion, aStoniSh-
ment, perhaps, or curiosity. He
gravely bowed her in, took her
proffered card and the adver-
tisement and. offered her a tall,
high backed, carve'n chair in the
big, square hall in which she
found herself. =. She sat there,
looking about her, at the COM
fort, the luxury, the marvellous
restrained taste. It, was lovely
and, yet, so like coming home.
That was what attracted and
amazed her. She saw evidence
all about her of great wealth,
spent on beauty, yet the effect
was not oppressive. 1t was an
effect of loving thought and a
knowledge of furniture and Of
what constituted comfort.
Presently the man-Servant re-
appeared and motioned to her
to follow him.
Mrs. Lorrimer will see you,"
he murmured, and stood aside
to let her enter, not, as she had
half expected, an entrancing
but frightening drawing room.

low. deep chairs and chintzes,
with a great curved window
full of growing plants and, she
saw as she entered, a great
square aquarium of exotic fish
and two brilliant lnacaws
swinging from their perches.
But she forgot everything as
she caught her first glimpse of
the woman who rose from a
buSiness-like looking desk to
greet her.
A Beautiful Woman
Mrs. Lorrimer was very tall,
and very slender. She was beau
tifully gowned and groomed.
Her white hair was short, cut
close to her noble head, lying
in flat waves, clinging, soft. Her
gown was that superb dark
dahlia, shade, neither purple nor
red, very plain, very eXpertly
cut. And the eyes bent on Mary
Lou were beautiful, dark brown
with amber lights. ..
Her face was thin to haggard-
ness. Her mouth, touched light
ly with a clever lipstick, was a
nervous mouth, but sweet. But
all her fine features had about
them that quality of something
held in leash, something tense
and fine-draWn which is so dis
turbing to the observer because
it tells of such hard won self
control, and such restraint and
repression. .~...--.

 Vegetables are ground up in a sausage machine and the mass is pressed into small sticks which are dried in an electric oven. The dry sticks are heated in silica com- bustion furnace in an atmosphere of oxygen. The resulting gases and residue are caught in glass receptacles and analysed for the iodine content.
 An iodine map, showing the rela- tive iodine content in vegetables in every parish of the state, is the ultimate object of the experiments.
 All parishes in lower Louisiana once were a part of the Gulf of Mexico. Tests already indicate that large amounts of iodine will be found in the sea soaked soil products.

MOUNTAINS MAY COST TO W N ITS BALLOON WORK
High Horizon Here May Prevent Establishment
 of Balloon Station

Juneau's generally perpendicular horizon, while one of it's major scenic features, may cost the com munity a balloon observation sta- ton designed as an aid to aerial navigation, it was revealed today by N. c. Banfield, Balloon Observer, United States Weather Bureau. He arrived this morning on the steamer Aleutian to establish a station here. But the noun tains that enclose the town ex- cept for the ribbon of Gastineau Channel winding past the commun- ity's threshold may defeat the pro- ject.
 The Bureau requires not more than a six degree horizon for the balloon observation stations. Twen- ty-five percent of Juneau's hori- zon comes under the specifications, but the other 75 per cent rears up on end in such fashion as to alarm the balloon observationists.
 MT. Banfield is making some studies of weather data with R. C.. Mize, Meteorologist in Charge, and a general investigation of condi- tions to determine whether it is feasible to establish the station. It is possible that it will be necessary to change the program and divert MT Banfield to some other point where the scenery is tanner and mountains do not rear their heads so clcne to tho town.
 MT. Banfleld has been stationed heretofore in Washington, D. c. He and N. E. Gilbert, another Balloon Observer, came north together. The latter has been assigned to Fair banks where a station will bc es- tablished.

Something more than whisper ing shadows!
 That is the trend of the pres ent day presentations in most of the country's leading motion pie ture houses. And it is the answer to Broadway that has been lament ing the encroachment of the talk ies on the legitimate stage, as one theatre after another went movie.
 Maybe we did used to be satis- fled with a movie, a comic and a n0wsreel strip. But not any more. We want elaborate stage shows, trained units of dancers in exqui- site costumes and elaborate stage settings. We want fine orches- tras with special effects and we want to see vaudeville and radio stars as well. And being the pub lie that must be catered to, we get 'em. And that is why, out in Hol- lywood-of all places-Fanohon & Marco has just erected a giant studio to rehearse and prepare stage presentations. The shows arc designed for motion picture pal aces. Singers, dancers, sketches, all with lavish scenery and effects are simultaneously rehearsing in the great 50,000 square feet of mod ern studio that has become a sym bol of the new stage trend. And Hollywood doesn't seen to mind even if the cenema owners do. For Hollywood knows that good pie lures coupled with fine stage pre- sentations will keep the box office working over time.
 OTHER SIGNS OF TIMES
 There are other signs of the times too. Movie stars are going into the legitimate field. Stars are coming back to the stage, and artists whose fame has been con-
