These are the private rooms. and banguet halls. The restaurant door is on the next street.” John Wade saw that the man and Lila were passing through a doorway and had turned left, evidently to a staircase. “Now. perhaps. yowll tell me some- ar, 1 want to know.” Wade's voice uavs native E: “I am an inspector vi olice. will call the constable at the corner, he can probably identify me.” “That’s all right, Mr. Wade."

As a result, Williams has joined the growing list of colleges and uni- versities which have given 0ld Gold a plurality in such a contest, for out of the 234 votes cast, the challenging brand received 66 first choices, while two other leading makes could do no more than tie for second place with 59 votes apiece, and a fourth prominent brand received 50 preferences. 4 Recent tests at Princeton, Yale, Johns Hop- kins, University of Michigan, University of Illi- nois, and Ohio State also proved that 0ld Gold, at least when “masked,” is the favorite with col- legiate smokers, while at Harvard the contest was lost by three votes. To admit no ‘unfairness into the test, each brand of cigarette was denoted by one of five possible numbers, stamped on the black band concealing the name, so that comparison of num- bers among those taking the test would have been difficult. The results of the voting, done entirely by number, were checked up by Seeley 29, and A. Clark ’80, Business Manager and Assistant Business Manager of Tre Recorp. ON YOUR RADIO . . .
