¥ MERITS OF _ JT CIGAR Some Do Say Nickel Variety Isn’t Up to Standards of Pre-War Variety Whether or not the nickel cigar fhas come back seems to be largely &@ matter of definition. ‘That there are several brands of Geent smokes on the market today @ny one may see for himself by taking the trouble to look in the cigar store windows, but whether these are the good old pacifiers that | gold for a jitney in the days before the war—that is another question. DEPENDS ON AT YOU CALL A AR Beattie dealers are divided upon St. Some say sure, the nickel see gar ie in our immodiate midst, and thas been right along. Others de Glare that they are not cigars at ‘all but just a tobacco leaf wrapped @round a hank of short filler. Juan Lopez, general manager of the Brewster Cigar Co., Inc., named @ list of half a dogen cigars that gol for a nickel. “Two of these we sold for five cents all thru the war,” Lopez said “The nickel smoke is rapidly com- ing into its own again. We can do this because, for one thing, labor in our line has been cut from 15 to 20 per cent in the last few months, and labor is the big item in the cost of cigars.” Havana cigars, manufactured in ‘Tampa, Florida, will undoubtedly Become cheaper when the present Supply of tobacco, purchased when the market was high, has been con: ‘sumed, Lopez predicted. AH-HAH! HE ADMITS IT: “Well, there are a few brands of Cigars on the market retailing for @ nickel,” said L. H. Cheney, gen eral manager of the General Cigar Co, Inc. “but they are not in the class of those we had before the War. Most of the cigars that then gold for five cents jumped into the ‘twofor-15 class, and are there yet ‘The two-for-a-quarter cigar is back ‘te @ prewar price, largely because ‘the manufacturer has absorbed the Joss in order to market the line. “It will be at least a year and a halt before cigars as a whole will get back to the old price basis, be- cause it will take that long to use “Bp the tobacco we bought at the ‘Bighest prices ever paid.” | Tobacco that cost 12 cents a Pound before the war was raised to 60 and 70 cents a pound in the gen- ‘eral high price wave, Cheney stated. ‘The matter of wage reduction also _ will figure in any lowering of prices, che said.

Alban Jones | | LONDON, June 24.—Captain Al | ban Jones never saw a horse race; | never was interested in horses; | never made a bet in his whole life. But just the same Captain Alban | Jones won nearly $300,000 by draw: | ing the lucky ticket on the English Derby in the’ Calcutta Turf club | sweepstake, His good fortune never feazed | him, He spent never a penny in | celebrating it. He wasted never a| minute in talking about it. He just went on working. | A friend told him he could buy a ticket in the sweepstakes for 14 shillings—about $2.80. So he took | one and then forgot all about it. | The day before the Derby he was | told he had drawn the slip with the | name of the horse “Humorist." The next day he was told the horse had | won the English classic turf event. “I'd better see if I still have the| ticket,” opined Jones. } After a prolonged search he} found it in an old valise, It was worth £70,000. | Jones sent his wife up in Wales | a telegram telling her about it and | then went down to the office where he works as assistant marine super. | Intendent for the Union Castle Steamship company. | “Guess I'll stick on the Job,” he| said, PAINTS HORROR | OF NEXT WAR, Will Irwin .Makes Strong Plea for Disarmament BOSTON, June 24.—In the next war killing will be reduced to an exact science and whole cities and stant by the most devilish inven- tions ever conceived by the mind of man, according to Will Irwin, well-| known author and war correspond ent, who painted so vivid a picture} of the horrors of armed conflict here t-|at a meeting held in the interests | jof disarmament that his hearers | were visibly affected. Mr. Irwin spoke under the aus- pices of the Boston League of Wom- en Voters at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Freshel, 74 Common: wealth ave., Chestnut hill, and a large audience applaided his senti- | ments. Resolutions calling upon | | President Harding to take immedi. | ate action toward a conference of the powers on the subject of disarm. | ament were immediately adopted. Mr. Irwin marshalled his argu- ments against war in a logical and dispassionatey manner and ham. mered home point after point with clear conciseness. He made no at tempt to play upon his hearers with joratory, but confined himself to ‘a | direct statement of facts and causes |and effects. The human race will |meet within the next few years the | Sreatest crisis in the history of the | world, which will determine whether it is to go on or sink back into sav agery, he said, WREATHS FOR THE SEATTLE STAR ook at This, Yr.
