It's as though the tobaccos
we're WELDED together

'@ROSSBLENDING"means much
~ more than just mixing tobaccos
together.
It"welds" together different kinds
of the several varieties of tobacco. -.
many types of Bright tobacco. great
many types of Burnley tobacco and
numerous grades ofTurkish tobacco.
THIS WELDING" TOGETHER = or
Cross-Blending permits every kind
of tobacco used in the Chesterfield
blend to partake ofthe bestqualities
of every other type. Each tobacco is
thus made TO yield it's finest favors.
CROSS BLENDING takes all these
pleasing Aavors and aromas and
combines them into one-the Chest
erield taste. And we think you will
agree that it is far better taste /.

As political propaganda to catc:,

the -billion-dollar bond issue may
be great stuff. From the standpoint
Of national economics or patriotic in

it Is pure bunkum.
The very fact that Senator LaFol-
lette and some others are advocating
it emphasizes one of the real needs
Of the time. This is to educate the
men in public office TO the fact that
the biggest trouble with the country
is the unbearably high ratio of taxa
ton to income and that no artifice
of government is so beneficial TO the
public as sound and economical gov
eminent.

One of the basis of the present fight
is the demand of composers I'd hold
their own copyrights. The publishers

move would put them out of business.
In the midst of the back-and-forth

New York, Jan. lS.-From Tin Pan
Alley-or what is left Of it-have
been issuing strangely discordant and
sour notes of late.
The boys and girls who turn out a

ceiling" over a number of things and
an open feud with publishers is ex-
pected by many.
Just before the first blasts of win
ter arrived, the tales went about con-
corning certain stars of national note,
who were reported Switching" songs
right out from under the composers.
A hard-working piano thumper would
turn out national hit only to dis
cover that Gus Glumpf, the radio
crooner, or Sadie Blotz, the air song
stress, was taking credit for it; that
the name of the radio performer was
mentioned as the composer and that
credit was being traded right and
left.

Then there's quite rumpus on be-
tween writer's and publishers. Not
long ago. the Song Writers Protec-
tive association was formed, and on
its list the chieftains were such
prominent names as Berlin and Rom

seems, will be fought to bitter end.

posed to be a lucky break. Once, a
neat little fortune often came with a
single hit. Now it is said to amount
to little more than grub money
For few songs are hits, and when a
mere thousand or so results from a
success, things are bit tough.

to know the extent to which the "a
tient exercises. II persons weight
has been stationary for long TINT.
If he is able to do effective work, il
he has not obvious disease, and If his
build is like that Of other members of
his family, he may safely conclude
that his weight is normal for him.
If. on the other hand, weight be-
gins to increase without any explana-
ton in increased appetite or lessened
exercise, it is desirable to look for
some special cause.
In a consideration of this subject,
Doctor Davenport points out that in
heritance of body build must be care
fully considered when those who are
naturally slender go in for reducing
or gaining weight. If one is normally
slender or normally stout, it is diff
cult. if not dangerous, to try to change
the body build. Semi-starvation will
reduce weight, but will also reduce re-
sistance to disease. The naturally
slender person who tries putting on
weight by overeating puts too much
work on his stomach and digestive
tract, and may suffer loss of appetite
and inability to eat comfortably. Doc
tor Davenport gives the exceedingly
good advice, "Let us be glad that we
are ourselves and not try to drown
our personalities in the way of the
average"

Suuare-Ripger Appeal

One Of the oldest developments o
the winter is the discovery that there
are hundreds of boys In the United
States and Canada who would give
almost anything to be able to go L
sea before the mast on square-rig
ged sailing vessel.
There are still several square-rig-
gers operating in the grain trade be-
tween Australia and England. A. j
Villiers, who owns one Of them. has
been trying to promote a race among
these ships, and would like to get an
American ship to take part also.
So far, however, he has had to
spend about IS per cent Of his time
answering letters from young men
who would like to go along as sea-
men. From all parts of North Amer
lea they have written to him, beg
ging that they be signed on.
Some offer to pay for the privilege
College graduates have offered tc
sign on as cooks. Girls have threat
ened to become stowaways on the
ships. All in all, it is obvious that
the windjammer has an appeal which
the steamship cannot possibly rival.
Now all of this is bit puzzling
for there is no question tina. the
steady disappearance Of the sailing
vessel has made life whole lot cas-
Ter for the sailors. The sailing ships
were beautiful to look at, but life
aboard was very often complete hell.
The work was hard and the food was
poor. dangers were many and living
accommodations were, frequently,
atrocious.
Discipline ranged all the way from
merely strict to downright brutal.
Read any Of the books written by
the sailor writers, from Dana down
through Conrad to Bone and Reisen-
berg, and you get picture of a life
that was almost unbelievably hard.
Now, after many centuries, that
life has been largely relieved of its
terrors. Steamship Jack Is better
paid, better housed, better fed and
more decently treated than his pre-
decessors ever were.
But the young men fall over them
selves to get taste of the hard old
life and calmly ignore the pleasanter
life of the steam-driven merchant
marine!
The human race, evidently, does
not mind hardship, danger and pain
nearly as much as it likes to pre-
tend.

A Weight on Recovery

Out Of the welter of panaceas for
aiding the nations recovery to nor
NAL business, the proposal for five
billion dollar bond issue seems to be
attracting major advocacy among
certain of the nations politicians.
The case made for it; that it would
provide jobs for the jobless and put
money into circulation, thereby re-
lieving business stresses and strains,
Is an interesting one There are some
questions, however, which should be
adequately answered before the ma
ton embarks upon such q program.
The first is: where is the money
going to come from, and what effect
would the withdrawal of so large a
sum from commercial channels have
on private business?"
The answer to the first part of the
question is, of course, by issuing
government bonds" but it isn't
enough to issue bonds Someone must
pay for them. And right there the
second part Of the question begins to
weigh down heavily. And besides. 1t
is question if the issuance Of five
billion dollars in bonds under pres
ent conditions would not break the
market, not only for the prospective
issue but for government and other
bonds already in circulation.
The second question is: Where,
when and how are you going to spend
the money!
The answer given by the advocates
OF the 'alggtstion Is ION public build
ings and improvements" This is so
vague and Indefinite as to be really
meaningless. The bald fact is not
only that the government cannot pay
for five billion dollars worth Of Inn
provemenAs but that the various gov
ernmental agencies do not need
them.

Apparently it Is most important to
know that the nutrition IS adequate
and then to observe the way in which
the weight changes. In telling people
what they fought to weigh, doctors do
best when they consider each case by

Closing Courtroom Doors
(The Baltimore Sum

An unusual issue, involving free
dom of the press, has arisen in a
murder case in Kentucky. Because
OF criticism of the conduct Of the trial
by newspaper published in Tennes-
see q circuit judge prohibited any of
the papers representatives from en-
tering the courtroom to report the
proceedings. His right to do so was
challenged before the states court Of
appeals.
In defense of the newspaper New
ton D. Baker described the danger of
establishing such a precedent by as
sorting that if it were upheld it would
rest with the discretion of any judge
to exclude from a courtroom not only
the representatives of a particular
newspaper but of all newspapers.
And declaring that, from the time
of the Declaration of Independence
to now, the greatest safeguard of the
American people is an informed pub
lie opinion. moulded by vigorous
and alert press" he said that to
lodge the aforesaid power in a judge
would mean withdrawal of public
opinion as the great corrective of ju-
dicial abuse.
The right Of judge to punish for
contempt of court is fully conceded
as is his right to protection against
libel or other wrong, for which the
laws of the state afford adequate
remedy. But newspapers have rights
in the gathering and dispensing OF
news which cannot be encroached
upon by arbitrary judicial procedure
No graver injury could be inflicted
upon the press or the public than ia
permit judge to close the door OF
bis courtroom and pick and choose
which representatives of the press
could enter and which could not.
