Hears Life of
American Indians

The present-day American In
dians were the subject discussed by
Mrs. P. H. Judd, secretary of mis-
sionary education, at the meeting
Tuesday afternoon of the Women's
society Of Christian service at the
Methodist church.
Mrs. Judd gave excerpts of vari-
Gus books on the subject, saying the
Indians are increasing, instead of
decreasing, as is popularity believed.
She tCld of the work of missionaries
who have been largely responsible
for the education of the Indians.
The Indians have been taught
trades and modern agriculture to
replace their primitive farming
methods and old crafts. Govern
ment and missionary schools have
given the literacy rate an encourag-
ing rise, she said, and the Indians
are now anxious to take their place
in the world.

Cigarette Shortage Drives Women Into
Pipe Smoking Domain. Cigars May Be Next
By EPSIE KINARD
NEA Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK The petticoat trade
has invaded the sacred precincts of
the tobacconists' shops and has en-
tered into vigorous competition for
the limited supply of pipes available
to fugitives from the cigaret lines.
Swank Fifth Avenue shops dis
playing de luxe feminine briars find
their shelves raided. Head-shaking
pipe statesmen are initiating the gals
into the gentle mysteries of packing
bowls, in panelled quarters hitherto
as male as a London club. Behind
the-counter connoisseurs of the ma
ture leaf and aromatic flavor are
whooping up the blends that don't
bite. Skcw cases display hefty mas
culine briars and sturdy meer-
schaums side-by-side with dainty
quarter sized replicas which set the
femmes back anywhere from So to
$17.50. Lady-like pouches may cost
gal as many as five bucks. Tougher
girl 'pipers," though, prefer the
huskier mans pipe, disdaining the
feminized midgets.
Just as cigarets landed between
the rouged lips of the nation in
World War I, pipe stems have be-
come popular in World War II, Gre
ating vogue which shrewd observ-
ers expect to click as smoking
habit. Cigar-smokers are trembling
with fear lest the danes start COM
peting with them for the scarce
weeds.
But pipe smoking by women is
not new, says one old-timer, citing
bold blue-blood of Spanish King
Alfonso's court who in 1917 set a
vogue which swept Paris and trav-
eled to London. Proof that it had
followers here is the conservative
tobacconists claim that he has had
some lady customers for years.
Many writer's, artists and just plain
housewives prefer the contemplative
smoke, like the taste of succulent
stems and enjoy the continual puff
puff from a lighted chimney pot.
The girls were waiting for just
such an excuse as the cigaret
shortage to bring their briars into

But they've got their problems.

feminine palates. Too strong are
commercial blends, made for men.

reorganizing its tobacco department
to help the girls around the corners.
Once girls learn how to pick a
blend, pack a bowl, fire up by light
ing the whole surface evenly, and
how tc keep a pipe sweet and dry
by keeping it clean, they are ex-
pected to derive more pleasure
from their g-stemmed smokes.
Just as the petticoat trade goes
for the fruit, rum and honey-flav-
ored tobacco, SO are they suckers for

are other feminized ideas, including
a hand bag which will give pipe a

gadgets for tamping tobacco in the
bowl to save wear and tear on gilt

Ladies pick a pipe not by wood
