What quality Of tobacco goes into Camel cigarettes?
 This question, of interest to every smoker, is answered by the men rUho knouU tobacco from the ground up TF YOU want to know the quality of the tobaccos that
 go into various cigarettes, here is certain source of information = the who grow tobacco.
 They sell leaf to the buyer who bids most for it. They have Camel bid and pay higher prices necessary to get choice piles of leaf And they report other planters who grow fine tobacco have had the same experience That's why as one grower puts it: Most planters prefer Cancels"
 Smoke Camels steadily, and you'll realize what finer more expensive tobaccos mean in smoking.

BY ]. A. Q'LEARY.

Creation of three new judgeships for
the District Court won the support
yesterday Of Chairman Ashurst Of
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
At the same time, Senator Ashurst
announced the special subcommittee
appointed last summer to study con-
gested dockets and other court prob
lens throughout the country will meet
within two weeks to begin considera-
ton Of the subject.
The recommendation for three more
judges in Washington came to the
Senate committee from the Judicial
Conference, in which Federal circuit
court judges from all sections OF the
country meet annually to consider
the condition Of court dockets and re.
lated questions.
Comments on Report.
Commenting on the latest report Of
the conference, which recommended
additional judges in a number of
States as we'll as here, Senator Ashurst
said:
1T Is good report. I am in favor
OF the recommendations, particularly
as to the three judges for this district"
The judiciary chairman added his
belief there is a good chance for pas
sage at this session Of the legislation
necessary to carry out the recon-
mendations.
When the Judicial Conference met
in September it found from data fur
nished by the Attorney General that
the work of the district courts was cur.
rent in 68 of the "a districts, exclu-
sive OF the District Of Columbia. OF
the II districts in which trial dockets
were reported in arrears the District
Of Columbia was listed as one of the
three areas most in arrears. Here,
the report stated. the trial dockets
were 16 months in arrears. Further
on the report continued:
Special Conditions Here.
I'm the District Of Columbia special
conditions demand consideration. In
this district the courts have not only
the important Federal cases COM
mitted to their Jurisdiction, but also
the cases which, within State, would
fall within the jurisdiction of State
courts.
"As, prior to this year, the statute
had not provided for the representa-
tion OF this district in the conference.
Justice Groner presented statistics ap-
plicable to period Of seven years. In
view OF the increasing number Of
cases and the impossibility of bringing
the dockets up to date with the present
judicial force, and having regard to
the character OF the work and the
future needs of the District, the con-
ference recommends that provision be
made for three additional judges for
the District Court for the District Of
Columbia
The special Senate subcommittee
that will meet soon to act on the sub
ject is composed of Chairman Ashurst
and Senators Hatch of New Mexico.
