April| 129.—America’s millions of cigarette i users might be snioking a pipe or | rolling their own with make-shift | | paper today if it hadn't been for a | new-formula cigarette paper that| | appeared almost on the very day |war broke out in Europe—Sept. 1, | | 1939, | It wasn't that Ecusta Paper Cor- | poration or its founders were pro- | phetic. They, with Harry strnus,3 president, had been working tor} years to perfect a cigarette wrapping { | paper manufactured direct from flax | | fibre. i Before the war France and other | | European countries supplied Am- | erican cigarette manufacturers with | wrapping- paper made from llx‘len1 1 rags. Since linen is made from flax, , Straus and his chemists figured it ought to be possible to make the ‘high-grade paper right from the flax. { Straus had operated a paper mill in France before coming to America to launch experiments with flax. Eventually Straus’ chemists evolv- |ed a successful formula for making | flax cigarette paper. That done, they |began looking about for a suitable | site for the plant that was to be the | literal savior of cigarette manufact- jurers in this country when ship- ments from France were blockaded. A prime requirement for manu- facture of the paper—crystal pure water with no mineral content— brought them to the French Broad valley here where the mountain- fresh waters of Davidson River empty into the French.Broad. Paper for wrapping -cigarettes must be very thin, yet strong enough to withstand the ordeals of mechan- ical manufacture. It must not stick to the lips. It must not cause a foreign odof or taste as it burns. The new product passed those tests, and soon 80 per cent of the domestic supply of cigarette paper was rolling off the machines at Ecusta. The percentage has since increased. — e SOAP SMOKE KITS CAPE GLOUCESTER, New Brit- ain—Marines in the South Pacific jungles have solved the problem of keeping cigarettes dry by using ordi- nary two-part soap trays. A soap tray is large enough to accommodate matches, a pack of cigarettes and a snapshot of the girl friend.

TO20TH CENTURY| | You've probably seen them on/ lthe road—trucks marked “Danger,| Nitroglycerine"—and passed them | without giving a thought to the men/| who drove them. Most people don't know that . transporting nitro is one| of the most dangerous jobs in the {world, perhaps because it has been one of the least publicized. Para- mount has made it the basis of an exciting, action-filled movie called |“High Explosive,” starring Chester !Morris, Jean Parker and Barry Sullivan, and is bringing it to the |20th Century Sunday. In it Morris portrays a crack auto driver who turns from midget auto {racing to nitro trucking when war ‘breaks out in Europe and defense work becomes the order of the Am- erican day. Morris’ friend and rival for the affections of Jean Parker, Barry Sullivan, owns the |nitro concern to which Jean's kid brother also comes for a job. Jean tries to dissuade her brother ifmm the dangerous work, but he \needs the big money he can earn |at it and promises her that when ‘Ihe's saved $2,000 he will quit and iget married. Morris gets involved with the kid, resulting in the boy’s |death in an accident that could Have been avoided. How Morris redeems himself in |Jean’s eyes and saves the day for the nitro company is said to make one of the most exciting pictures {seen in recent months. | ( | TYRA VAUGHN, 19, has been chosen “Miss Springtime of 1944” by a ‘Model Guild in Los Angeles, Calif.
