CIGARS AM STOGIES
JUMP INTO BALLON OF
ASCENDING PRICES
— Pacific News Service. Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON.—The smoker of
the thin emaciated, rope-like slogio
must now have pennies In his pocket
If he would decorate his face with
seven Inches of the consoling weed.
Recently cigars that formerly sold
six for a quarter advanced to five
cents straight, the three for a qun-tcr
to ten straight and the two for twenty
five to two for thirty cents, but the
old timers who swore by the stogte
smiled and thought themselves exemnt
fiom being hit by the general ascen
sion. Hence the long faces when "I wo
fors” became 3 cents straight and the
"thrce-fors" required the shelling out
of 2 cents each before the Virginia
stogies and Pittsburg havanas could
be coaxed from their boxes.
Tobacco in all its forms has exper
ienced a sharp advance over the
pi ices that ruled last year, according
tc the United States Bureau of Sta
tistics.

“THAT TIRED FEELING” i
INVESTIGATED BY
GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Federal ex
perts have taken up the study of "that
tired feeling” with a view to determ
ining whether or not it has a bearing
on the industrial life of the country.
A recommendation for a shorter work
ing day may result. Dr. Robert Ole
son of the United States Public Health
Service is conducting experiments to
determine Just why working people
r lag In their labors and feel tired,
sometimes, all day long. Early stag 's
of the experiments indicate that work
_ _ :
I
ers do best between 10 and 11 o’clock1
Id the morning and are least efficient
during the last hour of the day. The
ear erts believe that an eight hour day
would be more productive generally:
than a ten hour day because the vigor
of the workers would be increased.
C.^sslp during working hours is de
clared to be one of the evils of indus
try.
