Women Smoked
In Gay `Eighties'
"You'd be surprised," said a clerk
in 'a James street cigar store, "at
the number of girls, and more es-
ecially young girls, that come in
Jere for cigarettes, yes, and cigars,
too. I tell you what it is; there are
more girls smoke in this town than
ou have any idea of. 1 don't see
y harm in it myself; if girls want
Ro smoke, for heaven's sake, let
hem—but they are so infernally
'Cunning and secret about it that
you'd think it was something real
;Wicked they were doing. High-
toned ladies do it. Of course, they
don't come themselves; they either
write or send their servants."
—"Sixty Years Ago" column in '
'he Hamilton Spectator.
He Only Wanted
Sweeties For Girl
It is comforting to to know that the
R,C,M,P..are right on the job, but
occasionally they may be a bit too
zealous. Take the recent case in a
Western city. A Mountie entered a
drag store and asked, "That soldier
who was in here—was lie after
dope?" The druggist shook his
head.
"Well," said the Mountie, "he's
been in half a dozen . drug stores
along the street. He acts suspi-
cious. That haggard, anxious look
is a sign of wanting dope." The
druggist laughed, "Sure the soldier
is haggard and anxious," he said,
"The poor fellow is afraid he will
lose his girl if he can't sometime
turn up with a box of chocolates,
but no store along the street has
any, This chocolate shortage is
making things tough for young fel-
lows engaged in wooing." — The
Printed Word.

FIRESTONE'S GREATEST CONTRIBUTION
TO LONG TIRE LIFE AND MILEAGE
Firestone, pioneers of the balloon
and -sigh-speedtires, now make another
contribution to advanced motoring ...
VJTAMJC RUBBER ... for longer
Mire life and mileage.
It is a well-known fact that adding
small amounts of metals, such as
chromium and tungsten, to steel greatly
increases the strength and durability of
the alloy produced.
In a similar manner, it has been
found by Firestone research that the
intimate mixing with rubber of small
amounts of a new scientific discovery,
"Vitalin," imparts long -sought proper-
ties to the rubber. As in the alloy
steel, the new rubber compound .
VITAMIC RUBBER ... is greatly
improved in strength, wearability, and
resistance to heat.and ageing.
All Firestone tires are now made
with Vitamic Rubber. This added
extra value, together with Gum-
Dipping and Safety Locked Cords, is
all the mere reason why you should
insist on Firestone tires when you
obtain a Tire Ration Permit.
VITAMIC RUBBER
is produced by adding
Vitali" when the rubber
is compounded. It gives
extra protection against
weather checking and wear,
thus keeping the robber
tough and lively.
"How long ago?" he demanded
itharply.
"X can't be entirely sure — but
before rigor. mortis set in, That
might be two hours ago. Perhaps
* little earlier." '
Christine glanced, at her watch,
One -thirty. It had .been almost
11,80 when she and Bill had come
this way before. • •
At this ntonteot Bill loomed at
her side.
"Sorry," he murmured. "But
breaking out of jail is easy cone
pared with breaking in here...
Say, this must be a Page One
event- Half the Surf City police
force seems to be here .— not to
speak of the press," he added as
several flashlights went off near
at .hand.
"Hey --• you!" The sergeant who
had detained Christine turned bel-
ligerently. "Who told you you had
any business in here?"
"Illy own chivalrous soul, offi-
cer," Bill answered smoothly. "This
young lady is in my care. I'm tak-
ing her home."
"You are not. We want to talk
to her."
* *
At this monn•ent several new-
comers ivere admittedthrough the
ropes: the man who had identified
Christine, a newsboy, a waitress
° whom Christine had seen in the
ice-cream stand next door, the re-
splendent doorman from the hotel
.across the Boardwalk, and finally
— looking more than usually apo-
logetic and helpless —' Mr. Wil -
met.
"My dear Miss Nevin!" Mr.
Met cried. cried. "This is no place for
you."
"It would be pice," Christine
said, "if you could persuade the
sergeant to take that view."
"Officer," Mr. Wilmet protested
in his ineffectual way, "you surely
don't need this young lady. I can
tell you all about her. She is Miss
Grace Nevin, a very accomplished
artist who is in my employ."
Now he has ruined it, Christine
thought. Because sooner or later
they'll have to know my real name.
A deep, somnolent voice echoed
in thereMemory: "Yon were very

the Poor lady couldn't have plann-

. Ladyr Christine thought blank-
ly and realized for the first time
that the dark -clad figure she had
glimpsed so 'sketchily aright just
as well have been a woman's as a
man s.
It was at this point that a police
ambulance rumbled down the
Boardwalk and stopped. Men clam-
bered clown, lifted out -a stretcher,
and tramped' down the ramp into
the booth.
Inspector Parsons' head emerged
above the railing.
"Now, Sergeant," he said, "be-
fore they move her; we'll find out
whether any of these people know
anything about her.. , Down here,
please, ail of you."
The newsboy was first to file by
the stretcher; then, in order, went
the doorman, the waitress, the
man from the shooting gallery, lir.
Wihnet, and Christine — closely
followed by Bill Yardley.
Christine kept her eyes averted
from the stretcher until her own
turn came. \Vhen at length she
stood beside the body and glanced
down, a violent fit of shivering
wrenched her; and she turned ab-
ruptly way.' One of the officers ha-
stily opened the camp stool and
eased her down upon it.
"Maybe I can help you. Inspec-

pectedly, his face paper' white.

"This is Mrs,, Emnia Talbert, who

"I was aware of that. We iden-

, Now," the inspector went on,
glancing around, "how many of
you were at your regular places
of work between—say 11:15 and
1:30?"
The waitress had been, and the
proprietor of the shooting gallery.
Mr, Wilmet was nervously voluble
about the fact that he bad been at-
tending a moving picture. Chris-
tine, shivering unbearably in spite
of the warmth of the night air,
shook her head mutely. The re-
splendent doorman had returned to
duty at precisely 11:30.
Now he was staring at Christine
with fascinated .attention.

The Baby's Bed
It is of the utmost importance
to make baby's bed 'properly, the

Make a cosy hollow in the bran

back of his neck and around his
feet; bring up one side of the
enveloping blanket and tuck it in
on the far side. Then bring up
the other side of the blanket and
complete the envelope by tucking
in firmly all around. Slip your
hand inside the envelope to make
sure that baby bas plenty of room
to remove around. An extra blan-
