Th0t:S Why more 0md more Smokers are changing to Chest erfield every day

WHEN you are smoking lot of
 W cigarettes every day, you natur- ally want a mild cigarette, and smok- CTS try Chesterfelds and find out that they are milder and taste better.
 Then smokers tell other smokers- Gone smoker telling another r''-that they find that although they smoke a great many Chesterfelds during the day, they never tire of them; and that. they have found out that Chesterfield is a milder cigarette, that it is a ciga- rette that tastes better, that it is ciga- rette with most pleasing aroma.
 Some time ago, in a Chesterfield advertisement, there was statement, "A $90, ,00O,0O0 Reason," and this means that the larger part of $90, ,0OO,- GOO is invested in the right kind of ripe, mild Domestic and Turkish to- baccos to make sure that Chesterfelds are milder and taste better.
 May we ask you to try them?

MORSE DEFENDS
WATER COSTS

Reports that water and sewer
age costs are greater in the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
District than before the Sanitary
Commission was founded in 1918,
are disproved by facts, according
to Robert B. Morse, chief engineer
of the commission.
For water alone, residents Of
Friendship Heights paid an
average of $27.24 in 1918, those
of Somerset. $2992, and in Chevy
Chase, $26.76. Property owners
in Hyattsville, Takoma Park and
Kensington, which had obsolete
systems, Morse said, paid $12,
$3.50 and $16.39, respectively.
Costs of sewage disposal ran
these figures costs up consider
ably higher, Morse said.
The average annual cost for
water and sewage disposal in the
Sanitary District is now $29.60.
