IS IT MONoxIDE OR NICOTINE?

IS IT MONOXIDE OR NICOTINE? Nicotine, says Noah Webster, IS very poisonous alkaloid, Clio, H. IA, N-2, the active principle of to- bacco. It is a colorless, pungent,, oily liquid, having an acrid burning taste.
 Nicotine, says Witthaus in his Dictionary, is 8 poisonous volatile alkaloid, CLIO H-14 N-2, derived from tobacco.
 Nicontin, says Witthaus in his classical Manual of Chemistry, dropping the final e, although he wrote the manual 40 years ago, is a colorless, oily liquid. which turns brown on exposure to air. has burning caustic taste, and 8 dis agreeable, penetrating odor. It is capable of causing death in doses of two or three drops. Adminis- tered to dogs in doses of two to four drops, it produces effects in about half a minute and death m two to five minutes. If a large dose is given the victim has no warning symptoms, but falls un- conscious in a few minutes and dies within five minutes, without con- vulsions. In the human subject, tobacco or its decoction causes nausea, vertigo, dilation of the pu- pils, vomiting, syncope (faintin), |, diminution of the rapidity and force of the heart.
 Herold's Manual of Legal Medi- cine. says nicotine is more rapidly fatal tha neven prussic acid (hydrocyanic acid) or cyanide or potassium.
 Most of the authorities quoted are old timers. Authorities today seem reluctant to commit them selves about nicotine. Or maybe they just don't know anything about it.
 A report published in the Jour. American Medical Association told lof a case of acute nicotine poison ling of a greenhouse worker who, while using nicotine as an insecti- Icide spray, spilled some of 1t on This clothes. The doctor reporting the case assumed, in that "scien- tific" way of physicians, that the man absorbed the nicotine through |his skin = perhaps being unaware that nicotine is volatile and that a Iperson on whose clothing a Quan- tity of it might be spilled could hardly avoid inhaling some, eS- pecially indoors or in a poorly ven- tilated place, if he did not quickly remove the clothing. Doctors are funny that way. They still like to "pronounce" all sorts of absurd things SO.
 There is a controversy between various investigators of tobacco smoke, as to the presence of nico- tine in the smoke. Some insist there lis no nicotine in the smoke - that Ian of the nicotine in tobacco is destroyed by combustion if the to- bacco is smoked. Others believe they have detected nicotine in the smoke and even infer that the amount varies with the kind of to- bacco and with the form of smoking cigar, cigarette, pipe.
 My belief. says or Doc Brady, selecting pipe No. 26 and stoking 1t with a load of tobacco, as 1t is now time to knock off and call 1t a day, is that it isn't the nicotine, but the carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke that does the harm when smoking does harm. More later - I'm going to light my pipe now.

Sometimes the blouse is more than 8 hybrid-it may be a cross of all three, blouse, sweater and jacket. Typical of this is fuchsia pullover sweater with a new neckline wedge shaped, the wide straight line in front.
 The frills are ruffles of black velvety rayon chenille, edging the neck and the cuffs of the long sleeve. The trick in this, and it's a good trick, is the addition of color and trimming which look definitely festive when they're shown of, and which yet are sim pie and restrained enough to be in perfectly good taste when worn with a daytime costume. This warm garment therefore adds to the effectiveness of a daytime suit, short cocktail skirt, or even a long evening skirt.
 An old hand and mighty skill full at this kind of thing is Jean Adams. She has been making separates" = blouses and skirts intended to go together and also

Jean Adams designed this harle. QNin blouse which not only looks as gay as the clown, but masque- rades as SucceSSfully-aS fitting companion to 2 daytime suit, as 2 fairly, warm top for a daytime skirt, as a jacket to complete smartly a long evening skirt. It has black sleeves and back, fls. Chia and plunn-cOl0red panel at collar and sleeve.

 So, now, practically every fash ion-making house and store is playing up costume blouses = and Designer Jean Adams cannot keeI up with her orders. One New York store has just opened spe. cial department for nothing but costume blouses and jackets.
 Miss Adams has a little harle- quin job that is worn inside ol outside the skirt.

Another ingenious Adams idea, not warm, but worthy of any dressy daytime suit or any eve ming skirt, is a fitted black crepe blouse with pailletted black cot- ton lace edging throat and front closing. The designer also makes this in-or- -out-o of-skirt blouse in peach with black lace.
 She makes, too, 8 couple of skirts that point up the versatility of the blouses and are worth a look in themselves. Both skirts are black rayon crepe. One is long, with slight slit in front with six front pleats in pegtop effect. The other is short, with two slanting front pleatS and tied tabs.

 New York.-When is 8 blouse 8 sweater and gay, cozy companion to an evening skirt?
 The answer is-any time a woman knows her new winter costume blouses. And that's no riddle, but one of the best b, aget-accommo- dating angles of wartime style. NEW COSTUME BLOUSE
 HAS DUAL ROLE
 A costume blouse is at least a hybrid-a cross between 8 blouse and a sweater, or between a sweater and 8 jacket. Good example: pow der blue wool and rabbit fur cos tune blouse which is made like Papa's vest, but has long comfort able cuffed sleeves like women's fa- vorite classic shirts.
 This costume blouse serves for two pre-war garments, and smoothly It goes well under casual tweed suit, and is something to think about for fuel-rationed days com ing. And when worn with a sep arate skirt, it takes the place of

 This year the blouse has a new and highly stylish importance and for g. good reason. The WIPE rules, which outlawed three-piece costumes, and also the dress and jacket costume sold as one unit for a single price, created a need and an opportunity for separate blouses which would do some thing special for the suit with which they are shown and fol other skirts in the buyers ward robe.

 FLANNEL BLOUSE
 GOOD FOR CHILLY DAYS
 Another warm costume blouse warm as a sweater and blouse together-is creamy flannel with a black and wine thread plaid.
 Black Irish-type lace edges the front closing, cuffs of long sleeves, and collar. The collar turns down in dressy shirt effect, and it also can be worn up to form f1atter- ing high round neckline.
 A short-sleeved costume blouse of priority gray jersey has sleeve edges and ruff of white cotton eyelet-embroidery-a "top" that's warm, that would compliment either a dressy daytime suit or an informal evening suit.
