SUDBURY WOMEN GREAT SMOKERS, 50 STAR STATES, Dealers Hardly Notice Whether Customer is a Man or Woman Sudbury, Ont., Oct. 19.--""Thank Goodness, they don't smoke in pub- fle." With this Journalistic head- line the Star remews some facts gleaned in interview tobacco dealers of this town. e fair sex constitute mearly ome-fourih of the cigarette smoking population of sudbury and the number is stead- ily increasing," says The Star, "The increase is mot confined to any ome class or age, but is general among all the women. That in most cases it is not merely an affection is in- dicated by the facet that while there is, from month to month, an im- crease in the feminine consumption of the weed, the use of cigarettes by women in public is still a com- paratively rare sight in Sudbury. And may it remain so!" "I don't know the eract numbers every day, but it is very large" stated one dealer, "It is so com- mon now that we hardly notice whether the customer is a man or a eor@re you... ishment to build health anu vigour Nn = PIT & sa PL . etthem ONO beef flavour to tempt concentrated nour- .+.» convenient form, to make easier, tastier cook. ing...

"Between 20 and 30 per cent. of our customers are women to-day." stated another dealer, "Some ° of them are heavier smokers than the average nan Opinions A prominet woman of the city said: "I do not smoke in public, ev- en at women's functions, where other women are smoking. Perhaps T lack the courage of my comvie- tions, because I don't think anyone has the right to criticize a woman for smoking, But in my case the comment might reflect itself on some of the work in which T am engaged, and so I take the easier course and only indulge in private." "Smoking by women in publie places, such as dances 1s so rare as to be almost megligible," stated another socially prominent woman, "However, at many bridges that I have attended fully ome-third of those present smoked, Of course, many of these only took cigarettes because they were offered to them, But many of the women were smok- ing simpiy because they wanted to. "Lots of the girls smoke," sald one, who disapproved, "They don't think anything about it, Many of their parents know nothing about it and they certainly den't bother to tell them, Several times I have been at gatherings with my hus- band when most of the girls present were amoking and didn't try to hide the fact, What could we do? If I tried to stop them they would think 1 was foolish." REMOVAL OF WAR TROPHIES URGE Service Men Regard Them as Very Unpleasant Reminders London, Eng., Oct, 19, -- The whole question of the fate of war souvenirs presented to municipal- ities for display in public places af- ter the Great War, is to be raised by Councillor W, F, Castle, J. P., the mayor of Southwark, at a meet- ing of the Metropolitan Mayors' As- sociation, "Eventually," said Councillor Castle, "I hope to enlist the support of every municipality in the country with a view to doing away with these trophies, In various parts of the country, I have noticed, they have heen allowed to get into a state of neglect; some of them are practically falling to pieces, and people seem to take little interest in them, There is every indication of a movement to get rid of them altogether. "That t only my own im- "| pression, 1 have consulted Ex-ser- vice men, and found that in most cases they regard them as remind- ers of unpleasant experiences which they would rather see buried for ever, The majority of other people share their dislike, As for the younger generation, I do not think it is good that they should have their interest awakened in war hy the display of these captured guns and munitions, It prejudices the general movement towards a per- manent world peace." In the years immediately follow- ing the war many thousands of these trophies were distributed to practically every borough in the country, They were allotted econ- spicuous sites on village greens, facing town halls, and in the case of Bloomshury--immediately be- hind the British Museum. Many of them have since heen sold as scrap iren, and some have been summarily dumped into rivers The War office disowns them, and the municipal authority, in a great number of cases, wants to be rid of them hut fears offending ex-ser- vice sentiment, The London Obhser- ver suggests the the decision be left in each case, to the local branch of the British Legion, "That would seem the likeliest way out of the difficulty," the newspaper says. "If the ex-seryicemen said, we don't want them, it is hardly likely that anyone else would, partieularly as most districts have their war men- orial proper to remind them of the sacrificial element of war." KILLED AS AUTO SKIDS INTO TREE Former Acting Mayor of Detroit Vietim in Early Morning Crash Detroit, Mich,, Oct. 19.--Joseph A. Martin, former acting mayor and president of the city council of De- troit, was instantly killed at 3.20 a. m. Wednesday when an automobile in which he was riding crashed in- to a telephone pole after striking a hole in the pavement on Wood- ward avenue and skidding 150 feet. The car was driven by Samuel Sofferin, 30, who suffered a frac- tured skull, He is being held as a police prisoner in a hospital. Of- ficers said the car was being driy- en at a high rate of speed. Five men with whom police be- lieve, rtin spent a part of the evening, were to be questioned Wednesday. Two of the five, Sammy Kirk and Sammy Cohen, at liberty under appeal bonds on six months jail sentence for violating the fed- eral prohibition law, were follow- ing Martin and Sofferin ip another. ear, Martin was president of the council from 1923 to 1925 and was acting mayor fin 1924 durinz the lines sof Mayor Frank E. Doremus. Since his retirement from active nolitics he had been in the real octate business. Sofferin is a eigar manufacturer. SOVIETS SEEKING BRITISH SAFETY MATCH MARKET Charge Made That Russian Subsidized London, Oct. 19--Soviet trading orgemizations in this country have been making persistent efforts dur- ing the past few montns to establish a market for safety matches of Rus- sian manufacture. The methods adopted to ensure sales are gener- ally characterized by British match manufacturers as unfair trading car- ried on for the purpose of obtaining British currency for the Soviet gov- ernment. "The sale of the matches is subsidized," declared one manufac- turer, "and there is a direct loss on every transaction." Big Profit Other inquiries elicited the states ment that the cost of production in Russia was 40 cents per gross box. es and that buyers obtained them in this country at 28 cents per gross, They are chiefly handled by small traders in the East End of London, The first sales to the public are stated to have been made in Scot. land about the beginning of the year, but since then boxes bearing various labels, in some cases with the coun- try of origin indistinctly marked, have been on sale chiefly in the poor- er districts throughout Great Bri. tain, The matches are sold to the re- tailer at prices ranging from $1.4 to $1.56 a gross, and sold to the cus- tomers at 14 to 15 cents a dozen boxes and frequently at 2 cents a box. In the last mentioned case there is a profit of 100 per cent, Not Popular The marked decline in the sale of the Soviet match is ascribed to the British public becoming more alert and discriminating as to the country of origin of their purchases as well as to the quality of the goods. Nu- merous cases have occurred in which customers 'have returned boxes of matehes supplied after discovering the country of origin, "There are thousands of cases of Russian matches in bond in spite of the low prices and unfair trading metheds,"" another British manufacs turer remarked, "and the Soviet or- ganizations are endeavoring to diss posg of them to other countries." DEVELOPMENT OF LITTLE THEATRE IS EXPLAINED In Puritan Days a Moral Lec. ture Was Necessary to Get Play Staged Toronto, Ont, Oct, 19.--A de- scription of theatre development in North America was given by Walter Prichard Eaton, representing the Theatre Guild of New York, in a recent address to the Women's Art Association, He went back to the Puritan days when in order to get a presentation of Othello in Provi- dence R.I, the manager announceda concert with a moral lecture--the lec- ture being Othello, with illustrations, From the imported English com- panies after the revolution, the first development was in stock companies, said Mr. Eaton; when each leading city had its own excellent company of players, That was before the de- velopment of road shows, first made possibly by the "syndicate" on Broad- way, which was at first a mere junta of speculators making money out of plays which were sure to be popu- lar--plays that were made to suit the least intelligent audience anywhere in the syndicate circuit, Little Theatres The successful syndicate play made Broadway the drama dictator of Am- erica. All over the country people stopped going to the theatre because they could not get plays they liked, Hence the modern development of little theatres and local stock com- panies, three oustanding examples of which Mr. Eaton cited as the Theatre Guild, the Community Players in Pasepda, Calif, and Hart House here, which began in the same year as the Guild. . The speaker sketched the history of the Guild from before the war in Greenwich Village as the Washing- ton Square Players until the reyival in 1919 in Garrick theatre with its first play, John Ferguson, by St, John Ervine, the growth of the Guild into a body of subscribers with Now You Can Avoid Dosing Baby's Colds External Treatment Cannol Upset Delicate Stomachs Colds must be treated promptly, of course, but constant "dosing" so often upsets the stomach. This lowers the vitality, thus {(nviting fresh colds and other ills. To avoid these dangers, modern mothers now use Vicks VapoRub. As it is just rubbed on outside, Vicks cannot disturb the digestion. And it acts 2 ways to bring quick relief: - (1) Through the skin like 2 poul- tice, "drawing out" the tightness and soreness; (2) Vaporized by the warmth of the body, it is inhaled direct to the inflamed air-passages. it is an obstinate cold indeed that can resist this two-fold action of vapors and poultice combined.

SPAIN RAISES DUTY ON BRITISH FILES its own Sheffield, Eng, Oct. 19.--Sheffield firms specializing in the manufacture of files are greatly perturbed over advices received from Spain announ- cing that after January 1 next, a new increased duty of $50 per 100 kilos, against $11.20 which they pay at present will be imposed on all files imported into that country. The eif- fect of the increase will be to ex- clude Sheffield files from the Spanish market, in which a very considerable trade has been done in the past. Some time ago, when a tariff was put on steels going into Spain, very strong protests were made through the proper channels, and some modi- fications were made, but now appar- ently the attack is to be renewed and Sheffield manufacturers are wonder- ing what action the British Govern- ment will take, Reprisals against Spanish produce coming into this Lountey are freely advocated in Shef- eld, CHANNEL SWIMMERS London, Oct. 19--The records of E. H. Temme, Miss Ivy Hawke, and Miss Hilda Sharpe have been ac- cepted by the Channel Swimming as- sociation. All three are English swimmers. The seven claims which had previously received recognition were: Captain Webb, T. W, Bur- gess, Henry Sullivan, Enrico Tira- boschi, Charles Toth, Miss Gertrude Ederle and Mrs. Mille Gade Corson, NEW BRIDGES SHOW HOW OLD LONDON . 15 CHANGING Traffic on the Fresh New Roads Tee Heavy For OM Structure London, Eng., Oct. 19.--An indi- cation of how London is constantly changing and growing is givem by the necessity of providing three ef- ficient new bridges on the western exits. Traffic on the great new roads, which the motor age have made necessary is too heavy for the present: bridge, and about a million pounds is to be spent in the next three years in replacing the Hamp- ton Court Bridge and provide new bridges at Richmond and Chiswick. Every Londoner, treasuring memories of happy holidays at Hampton Court, will feel a twinge of regret at the old Bridge's doom, Built 63 years ago, it sufficed in a sedate age of carriage and pair, but since 1923 has been necessary to forbid heavy locomotives to cross it, and the speed of motor-car and lorrv has been restricted, The oranmental bridgework {is by Sir Edwin Luvens and designed to harmonise with the more mod- ern parts of Hampton Court Palace. Three ferroconcrete arches will carry a face of red brick and Port- land stone with small pavilions at each end. Sir Herbert Baker designed the bridee to join Chiswick and Barnes and Mr. Maxwell Ayrton has de- signed the Richmond Bridge.
