Officials May Ask Congress to Finance Survey in Fight Against Early Lay-Offs. By the Associated Press. Informed officials predicted yester- day that the administration will ask Congress to finance a survey of un- employment among the middle-aged. The tendency to exclude the man over 45 years from industrial and # commercial employment would be the chief concern of the survey. Except for a sprinkling of private agencies campaigning in scattered sections against middle-age employ- ment barriers, Government officials said they knew of no concerted effort being made to provide special help for men let out of industry when they reach the years of 45 or 50, Secretary Perkins has championed the efficiency of middle-aged men # She thrust the issue before the Na- tion again last Labor Day in a speech against certain employers’ hiring pol- icies. She said present hiring and firing policies are “a menace and terror to | thousands of family breadwinners.” The American Citizens' League in | New Jersey is one of the latest pri- vate organizations to start a cam- paign against age discrimination by employers. < The league, organized last March plans to study causes of such discrim- ination in the State and to consider the establishment of vocational train- ing schools for workers displaced by machines.

When I've gotten a big fellow safely landed, my next move is to light a Camel. A Camel very quickly gives me an invigorating ‘lift.” (Signed) REX BEACH, famous novelist and sportsman “Camel’s rich, delicate flavor appeals to a woman's taste. I smoke nothing else. So many of the girls in our crowd feel the way I do about Camel’s being extra- gentle to the throat.” (Signed) JOSELYN LIBBY, private secretary P Pt = “I can tell Camels are made from mighty fine tobaccos. There's a sight more goodness in 'em for one thing — real natural flavor that doesn’t tire my taste. I wouldn’t be « caught on the high seas without my supply of Camels. No sir! Camels come in handy, too, at the table. I like my Camels at mealtimes. They help my digestion keep on an even keel.” Think of what this means! The greatest pleasure for the greatest number of smokers ever given by any cigarette D this didn’t happen by chance. Camels are the largest-selling cig- arecte in America—and in the world— because they give a new delight to smoking — because people can and do appreciate costlier tobaccos. Smokers have learned that they can trust those finer tobaccos in Camels to give them more of what they want in smoking. And that makes Camel's policy of spending millions of dollars more for costlier tobaccos “good business.” Millions of men and women have given Camels the severest test—smoked them steadily —and have found that Camels open the door for full, natural smoke enjoyment. If you are not a Camel smoker, try them. And see if you, too, don’t find vastly more pleasure in Camel’s costlier tobaccos. “I love the taste of a Camel. They're so mild.Even aftersteady smoking I notice no ‘cigaretty’ after-taste.” (Signed) MRS. ANTHONY J. DREXEL 3p - “In this racing game, it's vital to know that you can rely on the mildness of your cigarette.That makes it Camels for me. Man, Camels have a mildness that's unbeatable, to my way of thinking!” ENJOY BENNY GOODMAN'S SWING BAND for a full half-hour! Tune in Benny’s popular swing- sters—hear his famous trio and quartette.

My throat is easily irritated, but Camels, being so exceptionally mild, never have a harsh effect.

I think it is grand how Camels help me enjoy my food no mat- ter how tense I may be.
