A strong Democratic senator
Let us here and now place the blame
for the cigarette shortage where it
belongs, at the door Of Herbert
Hoover.
A Left Winger-Right! But let us
not forget that the forces of re-
action as represented by Wall street,
the capitalistic system and the
United States chamber of commerce
are also to blame.
A Republican-There was no ciga.
rette shortage under Hoover!
Senator Earake-There probably
was, but it was concealed by
the Tory press.
Senator Bunkem-Are we sure
there is a shortage? / listen to the
radio and all the big cigarette COM
panies are filling the air with sales
talks for their product. Why do they
do this if they are out of ciga-
rettes?
Senator Earake-They are build
ing up good will.
Senator Duffer-Would 1t be pos
sible at this time for the senate
to take up the arms shortage on
the western front? 1t seems to me
to be more important.
(Cries Of Throw him OUT and
''No! No!)
Senator Duffer - Is It not ad-
visable that we look into the mat
ter of getting more shells to Gen.
eral Patton, stopping the drift Of
workers from war factories and To-
cusing the attention of the American
public on the more vital aspects of
the world situation?

make cigarettes secondary issue!!

It's the Cats Whiskers as
Toothpicks, Say Chinese

According to Chinese epicures-
as epicures know more than any,
one else on this subject-the side
whiskers of tigers make ideal
tooth-picks.
The tigers side-whiskers, it is
said, are not too hard to hurt
the gums, not too soft to fail
in the purpose, nor too crisp to
snap. A genuine tigers side
whisker cost several taels of sill
yer in the old days.

SENATORIAL CIGARETTE
INVESTIGATION

Senator Wibbie-As stand here
doing my part in the great battle
for the preservation of that thing
which is so dear to America, the
cigarette, sometimes wonder if my
colleagues fully appreciate the part
played by it in the life of our glori-
Gus country. What, I ask, would
civilization be without it? What
would democracy be with no
smoke-rings curling above it? What
would free world be with no
ashes on the rugs?
Senator Bunkem-Does the Sena-
tor contend that the world could
not survive on the Old-fashioned clay
pipe of our forefathers?
Senator Wibbie-We have passed
beyond the era of pipes. They are
relic Of the days before mankind,
and Womankind, reached that stage
OF development where the very
home was built around the cigarette.
With the last drop of my blood I
will hold the, fort against those re-
dictionaries who would plunge our
wives, mothers, and sisters and
kiddies back into those dark ages
when nicotine-stained fingers were
the privilege of princes and prelates,
when the great blessing of blowing
smoke through the nose was un-
known to the masses, and when that
great blessing to all mankind, the
ashtray, was almost unknown.
Senator Toopsey-In my grand
fathers time they had to use old
saucers for trays.
Senator Bunkem-I remember my
grandfather going around the old
home looking in vain for something
to empty his pipe into, and finally
using grandma ginger jar.
Senator Wibbie (resuming) - My
friends, this is one of the gravest
hours in history. This country must
face that great question, can our
people get all the cigarettes they
need, and upon which their lasting
happiness depends. Deprive us of
our cigarettes and you strike blow
at the very foundation of liberty.
Would Thomas Jefferson stand idly
by today and watch long lines of
mothers and daughters waiting pa
tlently before the store Offering but
one pack to a customer? Would
Jackson submit to cigarette ra-
tioning?~ Would Lincoln, Cleveland,
Mckinley and the great Teddy
Roosevelt have stood unmoved by
the suffering involved when thou
sands of our school children were
obliged to reduce their cigarette
quota by two smokes per day?
Senator Toopsey getting into the
spirit 1.-The important place of the
cigarette in our civilization is plain
to all. With it we conquer, without
it we fail. I have a few statistics
here marking the extent of the crisis
now confronting us. In II of the
northern states 60 per cent of the
women and children haven't been
able to inhale in weeks. In west
ern states over 80 per cent of the
wives and mothers do not know
where their next smoke is coming
from. In 4 border states the nico-
tine stains are fading fast"

Aircraft Industry
Expands With War

Before the war, the aircraft indus
try was progressive but relatively
small segment of the total industry
engaged in manufacturing transpor-
tation equipment. Total employ
ment in the entire aeronautical in
dustry at the beginning of 1910 prob
ably did not exceed 100000 workers.
Workers in airframe plants, the larg-
est section of the industry, received,
on the average, $2785 weekly in
1910.
The demands Of war have made
the aircraft industry, in four years,
one of the nations major indus
tries in terms of employment and
output. Some observers fatty state
that aircraft manufacturing is now
four or five times larger than the
automobile industry was at it's peak,
before converting to war production.
AS far as employment is concerned
this is nearly correct.
Peak employment in the aeronau-
teal industry was reached in the lat
ter part of 1943, when about 2,100, 900
were at work-20 times the number
four years earlier. BY August of
this year, aircraft employment had
dropped IA per cent from the peak,
to total of 100000. Wage earners
in automobile, body and parts fac
tories in 1910 numbered $4,000: in
1941, just before conversion. $4,000.
The weekly pay envelope of the
average automotive worker in 1910
was larger than the corresponding
envelope Of the airframe worker,
amounting to $34.08. In August, 1914,
the airframe worker was getting
$45.85 on the average.

and lodged at ,564 feet has been re-
covered and 3446 feet of seven-inch
pipe run and cemented with 300
sacks. Immediate objective of the

STUDY 70 AID HUNT
FOR OIL I'M OREGON

BAKER, Ore.-The state board of
geology and mineral industries has
authorized continuation of strait
graphic studies, tying in geological
studies of Oregon with those of ada
cent states.
The survey involves the study of
fossils so small that they can be
identified only with the use of a
microscope. These micro fossil
studies, according to Fay Libbey,
state director, viii make it possible
to ascertain the ages of sedimen-
tary formations of any Importance
in the state. In addition, the ages
of many other formations will be
determined indirectly. At present
the work will be valuable in ex-
ploration for oil and gas, but also
will greatly assist in preparing a
state geologic map, he said.

HUNDREDS OF TANKERS
BUILT FOR WAR NEEDS

American shipyards have built
$40 new tankers since the start of
the war in Europe. according to a
report Of the president of the Amer
lean bureau of shipping. This build
ing program has more than made
up for Allied losses caused by sink
ings and puts the United States in
a dominant position as far as tanker
tonnage is concerned. He revealed
that in September. 1899, there were
in the world 1907 tankers. with
1893 flying the flags of the United
States. Great Britain and Norway.
Including the 238 tankers still
under contract to be built, the Unit
ed States, by the end of 1915, should
control approximately 900 of these
ships. or 10 million dwt. according
to the bureau. This fleet will then
equal in capacity that of the entire
prewar world fleet, since operating
speeds of the new type vessels are
25 percent higher than for the older
types.

IF YOUR SHOES WEAR
BETTER-CREDIT OIL!

Shoe soles treated with special
oils are giving about 25 per cent
more wear, according to scientists
of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Com
pany. Fifty-seven per cent of the
seven million shoes manufactured
for civilians in May, 1915, were
treated with oil. Costing only about
). cents per pair for treating, it is
estimated that the public saves
about 81 100000 a month because of
longer wear.

F|REMEN ASK PUBLIC
To NOT HAMPER THEM

The following is published by
request:
At a regular meeting of the Lau-
rel fire department, held last Wed
nesday night, the subject of fire
hazards was discussed. The men,
bers agreed that one of the great
est and most unnecessary of all is
the practice of many citizens of
heading for the scene of the fire
as soon as the siren sounds. This
is apt to cause collisions or other
accidents and always serves to de-
lay many of the members in reach
ing the fire.
As it is essential that fire must
be controlled at the earlies possible
moment, firemen must drive fast on
the way to a fire, and should not
be hindered in their progress by
thrill-seeking individuals. Firemen
realize that this is not done ma
~liciously and is only a thoughtless
act, but the damage remains never
theless. Parents with bicycle-riding
youngsters are asked to caution
their children to not ride to a fire
and to stay off the street while
the siren is blowing.
The department hesitates to in
woke the penalties of the ordinance
