of the tobacco in CameIs, whether you buy
them in Winston-Salem, Denver or Timbuc-
too. 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 miIdness of fine tobacco
depend upon the retention of its natural, not
added, moisture content which is prime at
about ten per cent.
In spite of our great pains always to make
sure CameIs left the factory with just the right
amount of natural moisture, no cigarette pack
age had ever yet been designed that could pre-
vent that precious moisture from drying out.

We have said nothing about it until now, to

Camel smokers of course have already dis

If you aren't Camel smoker, try them just
to sec what difference there really is between
harsh, dried out tobacco and properly con-

You can feel the difference, you can hear the

WE have been in the tobacco business a long
time down here at Winston Salem and we take
lot of pride in the quality of the cigarettes we
make.
While we have spent good many million
dollars advertising Camels, we've always held
to the old fashioned idea that the thing that
really counts is what put into our cigarette
and not what we say aboutit
If we know anything about tobacco, and we
think we do, CameIs contain the choicest Turk
ish and the mellOwcst, ripest domestic leaves
that money can buy.
I'm fact we have every reason 10 be proud of
the quality of Camels as they come from the
factory, but the remark of an old friend of ours
from Denver some time ago emphasized point
that has been the problem of the cigarette
industry for years.
As he inhaled the smoke from Il Camel we
gave him in our offices morning, he sighed
with very evident enjoyment and then asked
jokingIy. ''What is this, special blend re-
served for Camel execuIives?''
''CerIainIy not" we told him. ''This package
of CameIs was bought at the corner store this
morning.
''Well, . he said, GIVE been dyed in the wool
Camel smoker for good many years, but upon
my soul never got cigarette as good as this in

IN HOUSE
WiekerSham Report PreCipi-
tates Battle; Three -Cornered
Lineup; Praised, Denounced

The most hectic debate on
Prohibition heard in Congress
during, the era of Volsteadism is
expected to break out in the
House tomorrow and the Wicker
sham report will be thoroughly
dissected.
License for the protracted de-
bate will come when the House
reaches the Prohibition Bureau
items in the Department Of Justice
appropriation bill. .
Late yesterday the leaders Of
the wet bloc" played for time
and practically brought about 8
postponement of the Prohibition
Bureau legislation until they had
had time to digest the Wicker
sham report. AS the Set-up now
is the House today was to con-
slider the regular Wednesday
calendar and return tomorrow to
the appropriation bill. The flood
gates of wet and dry oratory then
will be opened.
Three COrnered Fight
Meanwhile, the Wickersham re-
port brings conflicting comment
from House members. The Drys
find comfort in the findings; so
do the VETS, and there is also
group believing that the entire
report is worthless and that it's
cost, $500, 900, is just so much
wasted.
Comment typical of expressions
heard today about House cor
ridors included:
Representative Stalker (R.) New
York, co-author of the Jones
Stalker "five and ten law"
II am In accord with the re-
port and hope it will end the
agitation for repeal"
Representative Tilson (R.) Con-
necticut, floor leader:
II think the report viii be
helpful. It shows the prOhi-
bitiOn law is not working out
the problem as its friends had
hoped, and indicates the com
mission really has no hope the
solution win be found through
prohibition"

Incidentally, the opponents of
prohibition were accusing Mr..
Hoover today Of sharp practice
in this phase Of his message Of
trsnsmittal to Congress.
Message Tres Vets
In this message, Mr.. Hoover
said:
THE commission, by q large
majority, does not favor repeal
Of the Eighteenth Amendment
as . method Of cure for the in
herent abuses Of the liquor
traffic.
II ann in accord with this
view. i am In unity with the
spirit Of the report in seeking
constructive steps to advance
the eradication Of the social
and economic and political
evils Of this traffic, to preserve
the gains which have been
made, and to eliminate the
abuses which exist, at the same
time facing with an open mind
the difficulties which have
arisen under this experiment"
His critics were quick to point
out today that MIR. Hoover might
as easily have said. and with
equal truth and justice:
The commission, by . large
majority (seven to four favOrS
repeal or revision Of the Eight
zenith Amendment as . method
Of cure for the inherent abuses
Of the liquor traffic." etc.
Tive Favor Repeal
Commissioners Baker and Le-
mann revealed themselves as
favorable to outright repeal, forth
with. Commissioners Anderson,
Pound, Comstock. Loesch and
Mcintosh were favorable to re-
vision, and Commissioners Wicker
sham, Kenyon, Grubb and Mel
Cormick were willing to accord
prohibition further trial under
the new enforcement Set-up be-
fore definitely recommending re-
vision. Thus Mr.. Hoover might
have tuned his phrase around and
put an entirely different face on
the picture. .
And half Of this latter quartet,
Commissioners Kenyon and Nc
-Cornnick, put themselves on rec
ord as favoring q resort to the
modified Swedish plan Of Gov
ernment control, as proposed by
Commissioner Anderson, If and
when it becomes apparent after
further trial that the present set
up cannot secure enforcement.
There we're unmiStakable evi-
denceS today that the report Of
the commission, as finally issued,
varied somewhat from that which
most of the commissioners had in
mind when they wrote their in
dividual opinions.
These individual opinions were
written after the conclusion Of
the main body of the report. The
members signed the report, wrote
their opinions and, scattered to
their respective homes some days
ago.
Report Asks Change
In a number Of the individual
statements, there are direct ref
erences to the fact that the main
body Of the report recommended
the revision of the Eighteenth
Amendment without qualification.
Thus, Col. Henry w. Anderson
said in his statement:
Il concur in he recOmmenda-
tiOn Of the report that the
Eighteenth Amendment be mod
flied ~ stated therein"
The statement Of Judge Kenyon,
Judge Crib, and even Of Chair
man WickerSham himself con-
tanned similar references.
Yet the report contained no
such definite recommendations,
which WaN rather curious in view

that the defendant was her son and
she was not going to say anything
that could be used against him.

mind. Mrs. Smith said she was
terribly excited when she entered

The question on which she baked
was whether she was at her home

wound which resulted In death.
