MORE WOMEN -USING WEED
THAN EVER BEFORE. OP
POSITION GROWING.
By Marguerite Dean.
Is smoking “going or coming?” Is
My Lady Nicotine about to follow
John Barleycorn into the discard—or
is she to win the game? In the imme
diate future will smoking be prohibit
ed as a crime—or will it be populariz
ed as a pastime? Shall we have a
‘twentieth amendment to effect the
complete eXtirpation of tobacco—or
will the cigaret be as common and as
little censured (for both men and wo
men) as chocolates or chewing gum?
At the moment there is no more in
teresting question of social and con
vivial usage, and the question is not
yet definitely answered. The struggle
is on. In today’s news we may read
‘of an advance by the anti-smokers; in
the headlines of tomorrow the pro
smokers are as likely to register a
gain. One unusually interesting feat
ure about the battle of smoke, so ob
scured by the smoke of battle, is that |
there are shock troops of women fight
in% on either side.
robably the most earnest and en
ergetic of the various reformers which
would purify the atmosphere by ren
dering it smokeless are the thousands
and thousands of mebers of the Wo
man’s Christian Temperance Union.
Women smokers, on the other hand,
have increased enormously in the last
decade, have taken the cigaret into
places where it was never known be
fore and have given it a new prestige.
One of New York’s most conserva

low women to smoke undisturbed
within its precincts. To do this the
club had to rescind a resolution adopt
ed last January, and the action shows
the power of the feminine smoker and
her friends. They pointed out to the
conservatives that in the best hotels
women smoke as a matter of course,
and that in women’s clubs ash trays
and a special brand of cigarets are as
much a part of the “comforts of home”.
jas powder puffs and m}rrors.
{ “Antis” Are Belligerent.
Yet only a few months ago at a
W. C. T. U. convention the embattled
delegates declared anew their unrelent
ing hostility to tobacco in any form,
for male or female, old or young,
Here are samples of such anti-smokers
propaganda:
“Tobacco' not only robs life, but it
hinders advancement”
“Nicotine is not only an enemy to
life, scholarship and attainment, but
it is hostile to nearly every avenue of
thought.”
“Tobacco robs families of food and
other necessities. The cigaret fiend
will steal from his mother’s purse, rob
his father’'s till or pawn books from
the library in order to secure cigarets.
‘The tobacco sot will buy tobacco to
feed his degraded appetite while the
bread bin is depleted, the sugar bowl
empty, the milk supply inadequate,
the cookie jar desolate and the chil
dren suffer for sweets.” |
The thoughtful person who reads
this dire diatribe cannot but wonder
what happens to the family which con
tains two cigaret fiends—Mr. and
Mrs. Probably such a family will end
in the poor house—and, therefore, it
behooves us to enlarge our poor hous
es, since in many a household two
cigarets are now burning where one
burned before.
Men Smokers Reinforced.
Most older men have smoked for
years—even if they had to sneak out
of the house to do it, and evén if of
fice* regulations merely tolerated *the
chewing of 'an unlighted cigar. With
the impetus given to their favorite in
dulgence by the conversion to it of
younger and older women and of the
former fighters the ‘“wicked weed”
would seem to be safe at least for a
generation,
Yet look at Utah! Just this past
winter Brigham Young’s notoriously
pure state passed a law prohibiting the
sale of cigarets and forbidding smok
ing in public places. Cigarets are con
traband in a number of western and
middle western states, although some
others, notably Tennessee, lowa and
Arkansas, have repealed' laws forbid
ding the sale of “coffin nails.”
The “blue” point of view of anti
tobacco crusaders is admittedly ex
pressed in Gustavus Myers’ “Ye Olden
Blue Laws,” just published by the
Century company.
“To the ministers pleasure was an
invention of Satan,” explains Mr.
Myers, writing of old Connecticut’s
‘legal taboo on tobacco. “When a man
smoked alotie there was not the in
ducement to linger and succumb to
conviviality that there was when he
smoked in company. Smoking in soli
tude was not inconsistent with medi
tation and decorum, whereas when
done with others it gave unseemly
pleasure and caused waste of time.
Only Solitary Smokes.
“To crush this increasing love of
pleasure the Connecticut law of 1647
sternly decreed that only the solitary
smoke should be permitted. Only once
a day, at dinner or otherwise, might
tobacco be used, and then not in com
pany with any other. No one might
use tobacco in any other house than
his own in the town where he lived
‘with and in company of more than
one who useth and drinketh the same
weed, and with at that time.’ For vio
laitng any item of the law the penal
ty was sixpence, and only one witness
was required.”
| Yet, according to Mr. Myers, the
unregenerate folk of that day locked
their doors, or went off in the woods,
afid held illegal smokers, just as sin
ners of today violate the Vplstead act
in spirit if not in letter. gerhaps, a
few years from now we also shall be
smoking our ecirgarets under the rose,
and home made tobacco will be as
popular as home brew. Perhaps not—
lif the attempt to reform smokers goes
|up in smoke.
North Georgia Judge
Complies With the Law
Judge Jones Opens Courts in Differ
ent Counties on Same Day.
~ GAINESVILLE, Ga.—Judge J. B.
Jones of the Northeastern district does
not allow the Georgia legislature’s
carelessness to get around him and
embarrass him in the discharge of his
judicial duties. Stephens county was
recently given four terms of superior
court instead of two which it once had:
one of the dates for the new quarterly
terms was the “fourth Monday in
July.” But Hall superior court, in the
same circuit, has had a term for de
cades beginning on the third Monday
in July and almost always running in
to the second and sometimes the third
week. Most important criminal busi
ness was docketed for this week in
Gainesville, and the law required
Stephens’ court to be convened at Toc
coa. Judge Jones lives at Gainesville.
Monday morning before day he arose,
made the trip of forty miles to Toccoa,
formally opened and closed the Steph
ens court with the due attendance of
sheriff and other court officers, closed
it in due form, by adjournment, till
September; caught an early morning
accommodation train and arrived in
Gainesville in time to open court for
Ithe second week in Hall on time—9
o’clock. The judge missed breakfast,
but he held court in two counties ac
cording to requirement of law on the
same day.
EATING HUMAN FLESH

Starving Indians in Canada Are Al
. leged to Have Turned Cannibals.
FORT M’'MURRAY, Alberta.—Ca
nadian mounted police left here to in
vestigate that starving Indians in the
Caribou tribe have been eating human
flesh. The report states that human
bones were found, showing evidences
of cannibalism.
*A few years ago, officials state, Car
ibou were so plentiful that the In
dians ate only the tongues of the ani
mals, which they held as a delicacy.
They slaughtered the animals in thous
ands. The prophecy was made at that
time by officials of the Canadian prov
ince that the caribou would soon dis
appear and starvation would face the
Aborigines.
OIL AND NOT GOLD IS THE
MAGNET THIS TIME. RICH
ARCTIC FIELD OPEN.
The rush to the great north has be
gun once more. This time, however,
the lure is oil, not gold, and the goal is
not the Yukon, but some point in the
great valley of the Mackenzie river in
Canada. Next to the combined Missou
ri and Mississippi system, the Macken
zie is the largest river on the North
American continent, It drains an area
of some 677,000 square miles, and at
numerous points in that great territory
indications of oil have been found.
Qil in Arctic Long Suspected.
That a great reservoir of oil lay on
the Arctic slope has been suspected
for many years. A century ago Sir
John Franklin on one of his trips to
the Arctic noted tar sands on the Ath
abaska river. Fifty years ago the noted
Canadian geologist, Dr. Dawson, gave
it as his opinion that gold would be
found in the Yukon and oil in the
Mackenzie valley. At various points on
the Mackenzie itself and on its tribu
taries seepages have been noted by
trappers, explorers and surveyors.
Reports of geologists who visited
the country between 1917 and 1919
were so promising that in the latter
year the Imperial Oil Company sent
a drilling rig down the riverf and start
ed drilling near the mouth of the Bear
river, some 45 miles below the Hudson
Bay post of Fort Norman. In August‘
of last year a strong flow of oil was
struck at a depth of 800 feet. The well
was capped immediately, but before
this was done the oil spouted from the
six-inch casing to a height of 60 feet.
The oil is of a superior grade, prolific
in gasoline, and of a paraffin base.
Rush Began Last Autumn.
As navigation on the Mackenzie
river closes in September or October
the Fort Norman strike was made in
the season to permit of a rush into
the country last autumn. But not
many men got away, due to the late
ness of the season. Hundreds waited
for the weather to open this year. The
thaws came early, and the rush has
been under way for several weeks.
The Royal Canadian mounted police
are in charge of the enforcement of the
law in the whole north country, and
their instructions are strict to permit
no one to take passage to the oil fields
who cannot satisfy them that there is
no danger of his becoming a charge
on the country. No one can get past
Fort Smith without a police permit,
and no one can, get a permit who can
not show the officer in charge that he
‘has arranged for a return passage, and
for sufficient provisions during his
\stay in the country.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y.—ln the bat

an army of polecats and John D. Rock
efeller’'s watchmen, the oil king’s army
had to capitulate because Gen. Polecat

~ In the confusion of battle Edward
Lockwood, night watchman, was so
badly shot in the leg by Joseph La

be amputated in the Tarrytown hos
pital.
For sometime the polecats have
proven a nuisance on the Rockefeller
estate. Mr. Rockefeller ordered his su
perintendent to have the new watch
men shoot them on sight. Lockwood
and Latham were proceeding to carry
out orders and were following the trail
of several of them down toward the
home of John D. Rockefeller, jr. La
tham had fired at one and as he was
reloading his gun the trigger slipped
from his finger and discharged the car

feet away.
Mr. Rockefeller has given orders that
no expense be spared in giving him
cvery attention and comfort. In the
meantime the polecats are abroad on
the Rockefeller estate. Mr. Rockefeller
played golf this morning and, although
the odors arising from the battle area
were unpleasant, he managed to play
his nine holes. Residents of Pocantico
Hills expect Mr. Rockefeller may go
to Lakewood until the war is over.

ARMY OF PROHIBITION EN
FORCEMENT OFFICIALS ARE
AGAIN ON THE JOB.
The most intensive drive against
liquor since the United States went on
a dry basis is now in full swing. An
army of approximately 50,000 law en
forcement officials is co-operating with
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes in administering the Volstead
law.
With a score of government agen
cies and departments assisting in en
forcement of the dry laws, and con
gress considering amendments to make
the Volstead law more nearly 100 per
cent tight; the next six months will
be the most arid the country has ex
perienced, if Commissioner Haynes
puts into effect all he proposes to do.
Confiscated Booze Is Piling Up.
Liquor halted at the borders of the
United States now is piling up in sta
tions of the United States customs ser
vice, which seized it from smugglers.
Rum runners’ stock is being seized
faster than the government can dispose
of it legally. Near the Canadian border,
opposite Montreal, officials of the im
migration bureau and the customs ser
vice are patrolling roads and navigable
streams and inspecting passenger
trains to halt the illicit traffic in liquor.
Along the Florida coast 'guardsmen
are watching day and night to prevent
the landing of liquor smuggled from
Cuba and the Bahamas. Airplanes soon
will be used in the hunt for sea smug
glers by the coast guard service. Along
