     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is a double water chamber smoking pipe having a one piece tubular body closed at its lower end and open at its top end with a detachable tobacco bowl mountable through the tubular body and leading to the lower one of said water chambers, a gooseneck tube detachably mounted in said body and communicating with both water chambers and a carb opening in said tubular body. 
     The tobacco is placed in said tobacco bowl and lit and the user initially closes said carb hole and draws on said tubular body open top end drawing smoke through both water chambers. 
     The principal object of the invention is to provide a water pipe having two cooling water chambers and which water pipe can be quickly and easily assembled of disassembled for cleaning.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, wherein like and corresponding parts are designated by the same reference characters, numeral 1 generally indicates a one-piece tubular body of glass, metal or plastic. Said body 1 has a flat closed bottom 2, inwardly tapering base 3, neck 4, bulbous lower water chamber 5, elongated necks 6 and 8 joined by a restricted portion 7, a second bulbous chamber 9 which provides the second and upper water chamber, an elongated tubular upper portion and bead 11 defining the open top of said tubular body. 
     Bulbous lower water chamber 5 has a side neck 11 providing a circular opening 12 in which is detachably inserted a tubular stopper 13. A tube 14 extends through stopper 13 to the lower portion of the lower water chamber 5 and has a bowl shaped exterior end 15 for receiving the tobacco to be smoked. 
     Neck 6 has a carb hole 16 therethrough for a purpose to be explained hereinafter. 
     A second tubular stopper 17 is detachably seated in the restricted portion 7 between necks 6 and 8. A goose-neck shaped tube 18-23 has a straight lower end section 18 extending through stopper 17, a slanting section 19, upwardly extending straight section 20, inverted U-shaped medial section 21 and downwardly extending straight section 22 whose open end is spaced above stopper 17. A bridge 23 connects sections 20 and 22 to strengthen the same. 
     MODE OF OPERATION OF INVENTION 
     With stoppers 13 and 17 removed from body 1, stopper 13 with tube 14 and bowl 15 mounted thereon, is inserted in opening 12 to the position shown in the drawings. The lower water chamber 5 is one-half filled with water A through the top opening of said tubular body. Then stopper 17 with goose-neck tube 18-23 mounted thereon is inserted in the center restricted portion 7 to the position shown in the drawings. The upper water chamber 9 is three-fourth filled with water B. 
     Then bowl 15 is filled with tobacco C, the user&#39;s thumb D is placed over carb hole 16, the tobacco is lit and the user draws through the open top of body 1 until the lower chamber water A is milky white. While still drawing on body 1, the user releases his thumb D from hole 16 and continues smoking. 
     To clean the water pipe between smokes, goose-neck tube 18-23 with stopper 17 is lifted from body 1 using a hook end of a hanger and stopper 13 with bowl 14-15 is detached from opening 12. Thereafter solid stoppers are placed in holes 12 and 16 and body 1 filled with detergent and a long handle bottle brush used to scrub chambers 5 and 9 clean. Thereafter stoppers 13 and 17 replace the stoppers in holes 12 and 16, respectively and use of the water pipe can be resumed. 
     Stoppers 13 and 17 can be of resilient material such as rubber, cork of the like and bowl 14-15 of glass, plastic or metal and similarly goose-neck tube 18-23 can be of glass, plastic or metal. 
     Preferably, body 1 is about twenty inches long from bottom 2 to bead 11 and head about one and half inches in diameter. The remaining portions and elements are relatively sized according to the proportions indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
