BUCHAREST, Rumania, March 18 ) —King Mihai, the world's youngest sovereign, will enter formally upon his royal duties May 10, when, from the historic throne of Rumania’'s first King, he will reply to addresses of loy- alty from the regency council and cabi- net on the occasion of the tenth anni- versary of the foundation of greater Rumania. To signify the real democratic spirit pervading the new peasant government, however, the little King, who is just 7 years old, instead of wearing the tra- ditional golden crown and holding the jeweled scepter, will be attired in the Rumania national costume.

A comparatively new cigarette against three veteran brands. Youth against age and habit. Yet OLD GOLD, the youngster, almost won! It defeated two out of three of its veteran contenders . . . and nearly. defeated the third! This is the story of the Public Cigarette Test conducted recently at Harvard, under the supervision of Edward T. Batchelder of the Harvard Crimson Editorial Board. Time after time, in these com- parative taste-tests of the four lead- ing cigarette brands, OLD GOLD has won . . . and won decisively. In fact, with the single exception of the test at Harvard, OLD GOLD has scored an unbroken string of victories. At Harvard, where pipe smok- ing is a tradition and the taste is for heavy tobaccos, smooth and mel- ‘low OLD GOLD faced its hardest contest. 148 undergraduates were asked to smoke and compare the four leading cigarettes. The brand names were concealed, but the cigarettes were numbered. Only one question was asked: “Which cigarette do you like best?” An-‘ swers were given by number, not by brand name. Yet in the final score, OLD GOLD stood second in its total of “first choices” and barely missed defeating the brand established at Harvard more than fourteen years! | Man o’ War, the greatest horse of his time, lost one race. And in its first and only defeat, OLD GOLD, the two-year old, felicitates the fourteen year old victor.
