Naturally there is no difference whatever in the quality Of the
tobacco in Camels, whether you buy them in Wineton'Salem,
Denver or Timbuctoo. But up to now there has been a very
real difference in the condition of the cigarettes by the time
they reached the smoker.
The flavor and mildness of fine tobacco depend upon the
retention of it's natural not added, moisture content which Is
prime at about ten per cent.
In spite of our great pains always to make sure Camels left
the factory with just the right amount Of natural moisture.
no cigarette package had ever yet been designed that could
prevent that precious moisture from drying out.

1920 LAMPS
LIGHT CAPITAL

Warren B. Hadley, who retires
today as District electrical en-
gineer after 18 years of service,
submitted his last annual report
to the District Commissioners, of
activities during the 1881 fiscal
year.
The report shows that Capital
streets are lighted with 28,27O
lamps. 23,799 of which are elec-
trio and 4,961 gas, which rep
resents an increase of $50 lamps
in operation last year. The can
dlepower was increased from
7,445,0O to 8,173, 900.
Mr.. Hadley reiterated the rela-
tive economy of installing large
units where their use is justified
in street lighting by electricity.
Ninety such lamps, having $50
candlepower or less, were added
to the system during the year.
A material rearrangement of
the police patrol signal system,
neceSsitated by the merging of
six precincts into three, was be-
gun by the department. A total
of 545 patrol boxes were in opera
ton during the year.

Thomas j. Hungerford, father
of Ferguson Hungerford, 15-year'
old Central High School student,
missing since Monday, today was
making a search for the youth

The Washington Times learned
yesterday from Mrs. M. j. Ward.
of Lorton, Va, that she served
sandwiches and milk to boy she
believes was Ferguson.
Mr.. Hungerford said today he
would make a search of camps
and other stopping places near
Lorton, Fredericksburg, and
southwark toward Richmond.
A hazing at the hands of older
boys at Central, where the lad

Trustees of the bankrupt swart-

Trustees of the bankrupt Swart-
zell, Rheem and Hensey Company
are the guardians of a fund fol-
which no claim has been filed
and for which they are seeking an
owner.
The fund has been accumulat-
ing for at least 30 years and has
now reached $5,652.27. Former
officials of the company cannot
recall ever seeing or hearing di,
rectly from the owner, who is
listed with the company as the
Rudolph L. Oberly account"
The fund has grown slowly as
the results of rentals received
from alley property located at
1336-1340 Cedar Ct, N. w., at a
rate of about SIS a month.
Although no claim has been
filed in behalf of the owner, it is
believed that the bankruptcy laws
are elastic enough to permit filing
of a claim under certain condi-
tions.
