lL0AN'T you please write some
u thing about smoking cour-

seems to me, is more needed in this
present day, when we who don't
smoke are made increasingly mis-
cradle by those who do.
The minute certain visitors are
seated, whether on the porch or in
the living room, they open their
cigarette or cigar cases and begin
knocking the ashes out Of their
pipes. Then, with never the
politeness of May I?' or DO
you mind?' they begin filling
the air with clouds Of smoke.

A brand-new as well as most

is with smokers on trains. At pres

many non-smokers have to find
seats in smoking cars, observa-

smokers often have had to take

Have A Smoke?
BY EMILY POST

suits the majority of us are not
faced with this annoying problem.
There is not a breath of smoke in
church, at the opera, at concerts,
or even in orchestra seats at many
theaters and movies. If one chooses
to 20 out between the acts at a
theater and stand among the smok-
ers, one has certainly no right to
complain of the smoke.
"When l. 4 Lady,"
Also if one chooses to sit in the
mezzanine. where a neighbor
cigar or cigarette can be nearly
asphyxiating - that too is ones
own choice.
Often, of course, the smoker does
not notice that the column Of thin
smoke from his cigar is blowing
directly into his neighbor's face.
And sometimes he seems not to
care. That such selhshness is most
lmpolite, goes without saying.
The quiz question, When is
lady not lady?" and the answer.
when she walks in the street
smoking" - must now be quail
fed. 1t IS still improper for wom-
an to smoke as she walks along a
city street in city clothes. But in
the country. and wearing sports
clothes, she may smoke wherever
she likes.
The one place, however. where a
lady (or a gentlemanl should re-
frain from smoking is in the house
of one who dlsllkes smoke.

Farmers Oppose
Neqro Set-UpS

Poplar Bluff, Mo, Jan. is. (UP)-
Grim, set-jawed cotton farmers con-
ttnued to surrender singly and
in pairs today at the already over
crowded Butler county Jail to
answer charges of attempting to
keep Negroes from migrating TO
their county.
The Jail was overlooking after
more than 5 farmers gave them
selves up to face charges Of kidnap-
ing and melting to riot, then refused
to go free on bond. They insisted
that the county feed and house them
until their trial, in the April term
of court.
A grand jury indicted II farmers,
charging they were members Of a
mob of 200 men who forcibly moved
four Negro families from the farm
of w. w. Clark on the night of
December g. The Negroes and all
Of their belongings were taken
across the county line into New
Madrid county.
Clark, who moved four families
onto his land the week before, said
he needed workers to help meet the
labor shortages on his farm. They
were the first Negroes to move into
Butler county.
When the indictments were re-
turned, the farmers he'd a mass
meeting and decided to surrender,
but refuse to post bonds.

EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE
l40 Pennington Avenue
Hartford, Connecticut


January IA, 1914.
Dear Father:
Our country is asking her
people for the loan Of fourteen
billion dollars to meet the needs
of our armed forces. 1t appeals
at this time for sixty million dol
lars from individual subscribers
in Connecticut. 1t is an effort to
extend the responsibility to every
man. woman and child in our be-
loved State. 1t is a reminder that
we are all involved in the war eff
fort and must perform our solemn
duty to the fullest extent.
Millions of our young folk are
giving their all at home and
abroad for our protection and the
continuance of the blessed free
dom we all enjoy in this common
wealth. Soldiers, sailors, marines
and the air forces need equip
ment, food and other supplies in
order to win the war,
The call OF the country is for
a loan, not a gift and it will be
repaid at suitable rate Of in
terest. Our country has been
blessed by Almighty God with
strong manpower and rich re-
sources to meet all the exigencies
imposed by the war. We should
all bear the great burden gener-
ously end willingly.
AS we ponder to understand the
world we should thank God that
He has preserved us up to now
from some of the ravages Of war.

Bolivian rubber is much sought

no plane had ever been before.
The pilot even carried q native in
his lap to show him where to land.
We were told that the rubber there
is so good that one man can pro-
duce ton per year - which is
about three times the average for
the lower Amazon. Regardless Of
price, certain New York firms will
buy Bolivian rubber whenever they
can get 1t. 1t is hard to increase
production because of lack of man
power. The Bolivian export tax Of
10 per cent, and the cost of 3 l-2
cents per pound to send the rubber
from Riberalta to Belem, Brazil, are
other drawbacks.
A few days later We went by
river boat, in an eight-hour jour
ney, to Cachuela Esperanto GOOD
Hope Waterfalls, headquarters Of
the fabulous firm Of Suarez Her
manos. The firm owns the whole
town-ofilces, houses, hotel. clubs,
church-not to mention 10000 900
acres of land And it owns a two
mile railroad which is a veritable
bottleneck through which all the
Bolivian rubber going to New York
must pass. Tolls on this road have
made the Suarez people multi mill

There's a legend that one day a
British engineer went to the Suarez
people and said that for $4,000
he could blast the rocks, and open
channel through the waterfalls,
so that river traffic might flow
down the Benz. into Brazil, with
out having to transship around the
falls. The story says that the en-
gineer was told that If he could
heap twice as many rocks in the
river, they would gladly pay him
$4,000.
