(NAN.A).—The Spring-like air yesterday sent Michael Dinicoli, 32, a-stroling, and as Dinicoll, the Beau Brummel of Jersey City, N. J., strolled he sto) now and then to admire his reflection in the store windows. Shortly he came upon & wlndo' which distorted his figure. “That,” said Dini- coli, “will have to stop,” and he banged his fist through the offending plate glass. A few blocks further he came upon another window that didn't do right by the fastidious one. And this window, too, he chastised by smashing it with his fist. Now, aside from having his fist badly cut, he is held on a charge of malicious mischief. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.)

Seventh Street Between D and E * MEN, NOW IS YOUR CHANCEI YOU still have time to tell your wives and sisters what you want for Christmas. Wo- men, you see, think cigars are such every day things, that some men don’t want them for Christmas. But we men know they don’t understand. What we've got to do is come right out and say, “Please get me some cigars this year.” And while we’re about it, we ought to ask for Bayuk “Phillies”— the cigars that most men smoke. “Phillies” are made of ripe tobacco. Not of under-ripe, bitter top leaves; nor of over. ripe, dried-out bottom ones. But of sune flavored, smooth middle leaves that are just right for solid enjoyment. You might find that your women-folks balk, because Bayuk “Phillies” are so snex pensive. But let them know it isn’t the cost that counts. After all, gifts are supposed to please people. And you won’t even think of the cost, when you’re enjoying a Bayuk “Phillie.” Bayuk “Phillies” are ready. wrapped for Christmas-giving: This picture shows the wraps pingonthe 25 and 50 box. You can also get the natural cedare wood box of 50; and a small package of 10—wrapped and ready to give. Standard sizes. Popular pricess BAYUK “PHILLIES” FOR CHRISTMAS BAYUK | flm:h\ Ripe Topacco
