~HIVALROUS Gentlemen of the
Old School sometimes make out
&s that they cannot subscribe TO
that famous line of Kipling's, "a woman
is only woman but good cigar is
smoke"
They reject-in public at least-this
unfavorable comparison with the little
woman" But they do appreciate what
Kipling was getting at, when they
settle down after dinner with fra
grant perfecto. With these old-timers
the enjoyment of a cigar after coffee
and dessert is something of a rite, a
civilized custom that somehow en-
phasizes how far the human male has
progressed since ne lived in caves and
was but a little removed from the
monkeys.

actor, Howard Lindsay, re-enactmg a
tableau familiar 10 our better families
around the turn OF the century and
since Mr. Lindsay would have us be-
lieve that time was when the after
dinner cigar was an elegant institu-
tion with precise rules Of procedure.
First, the head of the household
ensconced himself in his favorte chair.
Then with dignified nonchalance. he
shipped off the end Of his cigar with
a gold clipper attached 10 the lesser

he lit up-still operating with decorous
and formal calm-careful 10 hold the
match so that none of its sulPhurous
fumes contaminated the aroma Of the
well-cured leaf.
From then on the eventide rite con-
sisted of leaning back and from time
TO time, drawing on the cigar and casu-
ally blowing neat cloucs Of blue smoke
ceilingward. Thus did Papa relax
from the cares of the day in the count
ing house, the pickle works, or wher-
ever he dug up the stuff TO maintain
his position as top man in a more
or less well ordered American home.
And never did he get SO heavy-handed
with his perfecto or panatclla that It's
ash fen before it dropped Of its own
weight.

his smoking in the grand manner, But
there are rumors that the stepped-up

the other strip of pictures on this page
The action is again furnished by Mr-
Lindsay who. having no golden clipper
viciouslv bites off the end ei-his cigar
and lights u with the match smack
against It's outer end ~ thus contami-
mating the fragrant leaf with alien and
aCrid fumes.
Then, unlike the dignified gentleman
Of other days. he stretches oct on a
divan and puffs IN the frantic manner
Of a donkey-cngine, letting the ashes
fall on the rug, or where they may
And then. too tense TO really relax, ne
snuffs the han-smoked cigar in an ash
tray and rushed on 10 other things
Gentlemen Of the Old School have no
patience with such antics. They sigh
for the bye-gone days when smoking
cigar was an elegant ceremony.

What Happens When Animals Go In ForAdthmetiC
va ONANss PF'o 70,

Another horse, the scientist found,
was able TO count the strokes of the
village clock. The animal was accus-
toned to being fed every day at twelve.
and when it heard the dozen bongs It
stopped working. Every hour that the
clock struck, the horse would pause
long enough TO check the strokes. II
there were fewer than -, it would
keep on working.
Dr. Bogadoff arranged to have the
bell clapper hit II strokes at the wrong
time-in fact. less than one hour after
the horse had been fed. And at y
beats, the animal stopped and began
looking around for more oats

over road whore three false mile
posts had been put in between the
real ones Deceived by this trick, the
horse stopped after it had clicked off
the right number.
Birds, the scientist found, seemed TO
lack the arithmetical touch with the
exception OF the crow who was able
to count up TO ten.
He discovered what observers in
other countries have known for some
time that crows have language and
that they "caw' in mathematical pat
terms To make themselves understood
to other crows.

crow conventions gatherings Of the
birds when they are about TO fly TO
