Tuesday Night In Number Of
Conference Wins And Losses
MEET BENNING TONIGHT
Auburn Now Has Good Chance
To Receive Bid For Knox-v
i l l e Tourney Last Of Month
By EUGENE LEE
Auburn passed the half-way mark
in wins and losses in the conference
race by downing the Georgia Tech
quintet in Alumni Gym Tuesday night.
As a result of their win, the Tigers
moved up in the conference standing
and now rate a good chance of re­ceiving
a bid to the tournament in
Knoxville the last of this month.
Tuesday's game was fought closely
throughout. It was tied up four
times. Auburn held a 16 to 11 lead at
the half, but the Yellow Jackets made
a great drive during the last half to
threaten the Tiger's lead. With a 29
to 28 margin over Tech in the closing
minute of the game, Joel Eaves sank
a long one from the side of the court
to give Auburn a 31 to 28 victory.
Both Tech and Auburn had the
same average in the conference stand­ing
prior to the game, and both teams
played sensational ball in an effort to
win. With a probable bid to the
tournament at stake, both fives put
on an exhibition that kept the large
crowd on edge throughout the game.
This game had been designated Au­burn's
Dr. Naismith game, in honor
of the originator of basketball. A
total of $7.67 was collected and will
be applied to the total for the State
of Alabama.
Due to an injured leg, Captain
Woodrow Barnes saw little service.
Buddy Crew came through in great
style at Barnes' position. It was nec­essary
for Coach Jordan to shift him
to center after Joe Bob Mitchell be­came
exhausted from his grueling play
at center. Joel Eaves was the star of
the game. His outstanding shooting
and smooth floor work drew applause
from the crowd several times during
the game. Rex McKissick's aggres­sive
play and guarding was a great
aid in helping the Tigers down the
Engineers. Andrew Curlee's play at
guard was outstanding and was a
great factor in Auburn's victory.
Eaves, Mitchell, and McKissick led the
Auburn team in scoring.
The Plainsmen tackle a crack team
from Fort Benning, Georgia, in Alum­ni
Gym tonight. The. game is sched­uled
to start at 7:30. Starting Mon­day,
the Tigers have encounters with
three teams here during the week.
Sewanee will appear on the campus
Monday and Tuesday nights. Bir­mingham-
Southern will be here for a
return match with the Tigers on
Thursday night. The University of
Georgia will wind up the week's ac­tivities
for the Tigers by engaging
them on Saturday night. These games
will close out Auburn's home schedule.

Pharmaceutical Society, Rho
Chi Will Sponsor Meet; Over
100 Druggists Will Attend
The Auburn Pharmaceutical So­ciety
and Rho Chi, honorary pharmacy
organization, will sponsor jointly a
meeting to be held here April 15 in
behalf of the druggists over the state
and for the benefit of the pharmacy
students.
Over one hundred druggists are to
be invited to this convention which
has one of its main objects to pro­mote
closer feeling and understanding
between the undergraduate pharmacy
student,and the state druggists. The
parents of students enrolled in this
work here are invited to be present
at the meeting, and a special part of
the program will be arranged for
them. Also, all alumni students in
pharmacy are urged to be present as
there will be an effort made to form
an alumni society of pharmacy stu­dents.
According to Jimmie Dumas, presi­dent
of the Pharmaceutical Society
and student in charge of the meeting,
this is the first convention of this sort
ever attempted here and elaborate
plans are being made to insure a suc­cessful
meeting.
Several members of outstanding
drug firms over the country have been
asked to give talks at the two assem­blies
on the program. Some of the
leading druggists will be present to
discuss the various problems facing
the pharmacy field today. A regular
program has been planned and will
include registration in the morning
and one assembly. After lunch there
will be another business meeting fol­lowed
by tour of inspection of all lab­oratory
equipment in actual operation.
This exhibition will include every
phase of pharmacy offered here and
should be of interest to everyone at­tending
the " convention. Also, some
of the large drug houses are to send
exhibits to the conference which will
be set-up in conjunction with the stuF
dent equipment. •
The visitors will be taken on a sight­seeing
tour of the campus by the phar­macy
students. A banquet will be
held that night and plans are being
made for a dance to follow.
Blue Key Enrollment
Plans Meet Approval
Final arrangements of Blue Key's
plan to make the high school seniors
of Alabama better acquainted with the
desirabilities of Auburn as a choice
for their college training will be made
at a meeting Monday night, according
to Harry Hooper, president.
Briefly stated, the plan is to have
each member of Blue Key visit his for­mer
high school and introduce to the
student body the member designated
to speak to the group. In his address,
the speaker will inform the students
on the phases of Auburn in which he
considers them most interested. It is
expected that the inauguration of this
plan will furnish an annual method of
inducing high school seniors to select
Auburn as their college.
The plan has already secured the
approval and cooperation of the
school, and P. O. Davis and probably
Dr. L. N. Duncan will meet with the
society to aid them in the completion
of their plans.
The meeting will be held Monday
night at 7:00 in Dr. Duncan's office.
Since this is the last meeting before
the plan is to be put into effect it is
especially urged that all members be
present.

collection of lantern slides.
Graduating from Iowa State Uni­versity,
Mr. White's first construction
work was in Manila, where he was
in charge of construction on bridges,
sea Walls, and roads. Upon his return
to the United States he was placed
in charge of several large irrigation
projects in California.
Later he was employed as construc­tion
superintendent on the huge Abi-tibi
Canyon Dam in Ontario. From
this project he went to Pasadena,
California, to serve as construction
engineer on Pasadena's municipal pro­ject,
Pine Canyon Dam. He resigned
this position in 1933 to go with TVA
as construction superintendent on
Norris Dam. He was elevated to his
present position in April of last year.
Mr. White will be introduced by
James H. Williams, of Shanghai,
China, president of the student chap­ter
of the American Institute of Elec­trical
Engineers. '
Mr. White's lecture will begin
promptly at 7 o'clock in the auditor­ium
of Broun Hall in order that those
who attend will have opportunity also

Eliminations Are Held For Boxing
Bout With Clemson On February 14
With eliminations in boxing now in
progress Coach Morgan expects to
have his representatives lined up by
the first of next week for the match
with Clemson on Friday, February 14.
The weeding out process started this
week and the survivals of the different
weights have been determined in all
but four divisions.
Raymond Callaway, Vernon Burns,
and Torrance Russell still remain in
the fight for the heavyweight berth.
One of these will be selected during
the week-end. Zip Adams and Julian
Duffee are finalists in the lightweight
division. It will be necessary to make
a last minute selection of the repre­sentatives
of the bantamweight and
flyweight classes, for at present there
is lack of contestants.
The leather slingers for the other
divisions will be Travis Vernon in the
lightheavy, Bill Whitehead in the wel­terweight,
and Everette Adams in the
featherweight.
- From a total of forty-nine that
signed for boxing at the start of the
season, only one-half of these have
reported for practice. New equipment
has arrived for the team, and Coach
Morgan desires that the balance of
the squad report now so he can line
up his team for the trip to Clemson.
As the bantamweight and flyweight
divisions lack contestants, students
desiring to try for these weights are
requested to report now. Practices
are being held in the afternoons and
nights.
At present the Clemson match is the
only one scheduled for the team.
Coach Morgan has a tentative match
scheduled with the Georgia Military
College. At one time a match with
Miami University was in the offering,
but this fell through. No matches
will be held on the campus. Coach
Morgan only desires to lay the foun­dation
for boxing here this winter.
A ring will be built next year.
The annual summer camp for ju­niors
in R. O. T. C: will be held as
usual at Fort Benning, beginning June
7 and ending July 18.
Major Daniel A. Connor, F.A., of
the University of Florida, -will be
in charge of the camp, with 22 regu­lar
officers from the schools in this
area composing the staff. Captains T.
L. Futch, W. J. Klepinger, and John­son,
of the field artillery unit and
Lieutenants H. W. Ehrgott and R. E.
M. Deslslets, of the engineers, will be
the officers from Auburn who will at­tend
the camp. Capt. James McKin-non
is also slated for duty at the
camp,*.but a recommendation that
Capt. E. H. Almquist be substituted
will probably be made, leaving Capt.
McKinnon free to continue his work
as supply officer at Auburn.
> Technical Sergeant George Mox-ham
will be among the four non-com­missioned
officers from Auburn as­signed
to the camp.
Students at the camp will be drawn
from the field artillery units of the
University of Florida, and Auburn,
and the engineer units of the Univer­sity
of Alabama, University of Ten­nessee,
and possibly Louisiana State
University. If students from the lat­ter
institution attend it will be the
first time that L. S. U. has been rep­resented
at the camp.
Auburn is expected to furnish
about one-half of the total number of
students enrolled in the camp. Au­burn's
contribution will number ap­proximately
170 cadets.

Opelika To Columbus
Shades of the old pioneer days! The
stretch of road between Opelika and Colum­bus,
especially in these rainy days, reminds
the driver of years ago when paved roads
were something of a novelty. Following
several days when the sun might be shining,
the road dries up like magic. As a result
of this drying up process, autoists cause
dust storms that would rival those danger­ous
and treacherous swhirls common to the
Sahara Desert.
The State of Alabama charges a higher
tax for gasoline than any other State in the
Union. It is a common wonder among
many citizens of the State as to exactly
what is done with the money thus derived.
The State, paradoxical as it may seem, also
has one of the sorriest mess of roads in the
country. The short stretch between Ope­lika
and Columbus is but an example of a
situation that exists in a score of points in
Alabama. There is really no excuse for the
road not being paved, as far as we see, un­less
it be that local politics has played a
part in the prevention of such a move.
We have heard it rumored about that the
merchants of Opelika have forced postpone­ment
of the paving of the road, fearing that
a paved road would tend to divert trade
from that city to Columbus, about thirty
miles distance. From all appearance this
appears to be true.
It is only natural that the consuming
public will patronize merchants who offer
the lowest price for the same quality of
goods. Columbus, being larger than Ope­lika,
therefore, has more merchants with a
result that competition is keener and prices
lower than for the same goods in Opelika.
But as the situation now stands, the public
is obliged to trade in Opelika because of
the risk they take in journeying to Colum­bus.
A sorry road in this case makes it
cheaper in the long run for the public to
spend their dollars in Opelika.
We firmly believe that a pavetf road be­tween
the two cities would be a boon to this
section of the State. A little competition
thus afforded to the merchants of Opelika
might serve to force them to change their
city into one more attractive to the average
customer. As it now stands, Opelika offers
little or no attraction to the possible buyer.
Competition between merchants of Opelika
and Columbus would 'in all probability
cause for the beautifying of the former, the
building of the city into an attractive little
metropolis which it could easily be and
which it is not at present.
A society known as the "Stray Greeks"

HEREIN we will run in the remainder
of the "continued story" of last
week, being again unable to think of
other things of which to write.
Go back to where from last week, Red
Bride says to our Red-haired, heroine, "So
nice of you to have called, my precious,
but I didn't think you cared for me." Now
go on with the story.
"I don't, Darling," Midge carols back,
"but little Rolo on the back seat here sug­gested
it. He is waiting for me in the gar­age
when I go out tonight, and he says he
has heard father is so rich he keeps his
money in sterling silver vases under his bed
at night, and that he has' also heard that
father likes me. Isn't it nice?"
"And I guess," puts in Red, "that he also
said my father is also afflicted with vases
and also likes me?"
"Aren't you too utterly intelligent! I al­most
wish I had married you when I had
the chance."
"You never had the chance."
"Didn't you once tell me that you loved
me, me only, and that you could never love
another?" Midge-asked with flowing honey
voice.
Red turns and eyes the gun. "Mister,"
he pleads, "I'll give you a thousand to let
me ride back there with you."
"Shut up," the guy says.
By now the road tis getting narrower and
the mountains are coming up. Midge slows
the car and nothing more is said except
by the guy in the rear who is giving direc­tions.
From all appearances this is going
to be the biggest money kidnapping in the
town's history. It isn't thought that the
parents of Midge and Red really keep the
dutats under the bed in sterling vases, but
it is known that a couple of banks are bulg­ing
with the weight of too much money
owned by the respective parents.
"Slow the hearse," the guy in the rear
says.
"It's dark out here," Red offers. "I wish
I were home with the wife and kiddies."
"Are you boasting, darling?"
"Buffalo Bill," Red pleads to the guy with
the gun, "if this is a kidnap, which, from
all appearances it is, let's not have a half­way
job. Don't you think we hadn't better
shoot the dame? Women squeal even in
their sleep, you know."
"Shut up."
"Yes, Mr. Wesson."
By now the car stops due to the orders
from the back seat. "Get out," the gun
commands. "Move on up the hill." They
move on up the hill which is located there,
and everything is going fine, in the way all
nice and respectable kidnappings should go,
when the gun remarks that it would be wise
to call a halt and figure a few things out
before proceeding to the house that he has
picked out somewhere about the hill.
"All of us together make too much noise,"
he says.
"I'll say! Let's shoot the dame," Red says.
"Shut up," the gun and Midge say in
union.
Red shuts up but doesn't look any too well
pleased about the matter, and begins to look
worried.
"What happens next, Ding-Bat," Red asks
the man.
"What happens is this," the guy says,
after a look around, and he sort of lays
hands on Midge and backs her up against a
frying size hickory tree and starts to tying
her good, fast and strong to said tree.
He doesn't so much like the look Red is
giving him at this point, and so he points
his gun straight down Red's throat.
"Anything on your mind?"
"My hat," snaps Red. "Go on with your
tying."
By now the little girl is tied more than
snugly about the tree, and the torpedo steps
back to take a look-around.
"That ought to hold you," he says. "You,"
he hollers at Red, "Let's get going." At
this'point, Midge, after a side-like look at
Red, starts snaffling. ,
"O. K.," Red says, "only tie me so I'm
not facing that buzz saw."
"Who said anything about tying you?
You're going up the hill with me."
"The hell I am! And leave her down
here all by herself?"
"What do you care?"
Red takes a look at Midge; sets his jaw;
kind of hesitates, with the gun staring him
down the throat, and starts up the hill.
They go three steps, and Midge hollers
to the torpedo: "If you hurt him, 111 per­sonally
shoot you." This is too much for
Red and he takes a poke at the gun and
lays him out before he knows what is hap­pening.
And down he comes down the hill.
He reaches Midge so quick he first smacks
the side of the tree before he gets around
and kisses Midge. ,
"Darling," he says to her. And "Darl­ing,"
she says to him.
At this point, the gun sits up rubbing his
eye. "Lady," he says to Midge, "this eye

S O M E T H I N G N E W E V E R Y DAY
An Insurance Policy
Having just climaxed a semester's work
with exams, every student's vote 'should go
for "systematic studying."
Students who relied upon cramming for
four or five days in an attempt to cover
four-month courses must see now .the folly
of such a method of studying. They may
get by; they may even make "B's." But do
they really learn anything?
Sane studying is an insurance policy for
retaining information and for retaining
good health, which is more important. Dur­ing
exams, a number of students had deep
colds, caused generally by run-down condi­tions.
Loss of sleep and lack of exercise
lowers one's resistance to disease germs.
When a student goes on an examination
after many hours of constant cramming, his
mind does not work with the maximum of
speed and efficiency.
Although keeping late hours is injurious,
using an artificial stimulant to remain
awake is more detrimental to one's health.
Some students took tablets to enable them
to do several extra hours of cramming.
While those students may consider them a
temporary aid at the time, they feel the bad
effects of the tablets the next day, and they
endanger themselves to the forming of an
unquestionably bad habit. If this small
group and the students as a whole begin the
new semester with systematic studying,
much of the confusion and worry of the ex­amination
period can be obliterated.'—Duke
Chronicle.

Mastery over all Metals
Welding Makes Jointless Structures Possible in
Practically All Commercial Metals and Alloys
By A. B . KEVZEL*
welded to cast iron, bronze and
copper can be joined, brass and
steel plate can be united.
Makes Modern M e t a l Designs
J o i n t l e ss
Exact procedures for the weld­ing
of corrosion-resistant steels
and alloys have been developed.
Welds so made are sound, strong
and ductile. Resistance of the
welded joint to corrosion makes
it valuable also for use in joining
special alloys such as Monel
Metal and Everdur. Welded alu­minum
alloy chairs, tables and
other furniture have been made
possible through the develop­ment
of special aluminum weld­ing
rods.
At Your Command
Modern welding technique,
plus the great variety of metals
and alloys on the market today
provide many new possibilities
for your products. Information
will cost you another hundred." He is sit­ting
there on the ground rubbing his eye and
not even pointing his gun, which he still has
in his hand.
Red lets go of Midge. "What," he roars
at her, "is this?" Little Midge really starts
crying at this. "Darling," she whimpers at
Red, "I love you so much, and I thought if
I could pull something like this you would
forget last night and love me again. "Please,
please . . . ," she pleaded.
Red sort of takes a look at the gun sitting
there, rubbing his eye, sort of grins and
steps back over to Midge and the tree.
"Darling," he says, kissing her on the
right ear, "Where did you find him? I
thought of the same thing and have been
looking for such a torpedo all day to help
me kidnap you."
"You . . you . .," Midge stammers, trying
to kick Red in the shins. "Dammitt," she
yells to the gun, "I'll give you double that
amount to shoot him."
One great advantage of using
welding is that practically every
commercially available metal and
alloy can be made by this means
into a jointless assembly.
C o n t r i b u t e s t o Home
Comforts
Numerous articles fabricated
by welding are found in most
homes. Familiar ones cover a
wide range of metals—kitchen
ware and furniture of aluminum,
copper and stainless steel; copper
tubing in refrigerators, sheet
metal in refrigerator boxes;
kitchen cabinets and gas ranges;
water pipes of copper, brass, iron
and steel; furnaces and hot water
tanks of strong heat-resisting
irons and steels. Even the tiny
alloy wire elements in radio
tubes are welded.
Simplifies Automobile
M a i n t e n a n ce
Automobile manufacturers use
welding for innumerable assem­blies
where your safety and com­fort
depend on permanent strength
and tightness. The modern auto­mobile
repair man also uses weld­ing.
With welding he quickly re­stores
broken parts to use again.
Steel bumpers, fenders, frames are
readily made jointless by weld­ing—
as strong as or stronger than
the original piece. Cracked cylin­der
blocks and broken aluminum
crank cases are welded. Valves
and valve seats are made service
free by welding a thin coating of
Haynes Stellite to the wearing
surfaces to give longer life and
3dded thousands of low cost miles.
Aids I n d u s t r i a I | U s e rs
In industry — for tanks, con­tainers,
piping and a wide variety
of other machinery and equip­ment
of all sizes, shapes and
metals—the use of welding is
even more extensive.
Welding Marches Ahead
The wide-spread use of weld­ing
for various metals and alloys
has been due largely to constant
advances in technique and mate­rials.
Typical among these is the
development of Lindewelding, a
procedure for the rapid welding
of steel pipe and plate. Speed in­creases
of 50 to 65 per cent and'
material savings of 25 to 50 per
cent over previous methods have
been made.
Bronze-welding, welding with
a bronze welding rod, is widely
used for both repair and produc­tion.
Smooth joining of metals or
alloys of different compositions
can be accomplished by bronze-welding.

Fick Funeral Service
Held Here On Tuesday
Funeral for George L. Fick, 39,
associate professor of botany at the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, was
held here Tuesday at 3:30 p. m.
from the Presbyterian Church. Prof.
Fick died at his home here early
Sunday morning following an attack
of pneumonia. Interment was made
at the Auburn Cemetery.
Surviving are his widow, former­ly
Miss Geraldine Sharp, of Lynn
Haven, Fla.; a six-year-old son,
George Hermann; six brothers, Her­mann,
Milwaukee, Wis.; Otto, Oak
Park, 111.; Carl, Bronxville, N. Y.;
Hillmar, Grayling, Mich.; William,
Passaic, N. J.; and Rudolph, Grand
Rapids, Mich.; and one sister, Miss
Elizabeth Fick, Milwaukee, Wis.
Professor Fick came to Auburn as
an instructor in botany in 1926, be­ing
raised to rank of associate pro­fessor
in 1932. During his 10 years
in Auburn he has been preminently
connected with civic undertakings.
For a number of years he directed
the activities of the Boy Scouts
here.
He was born in St. Louis, Mo., in
1896, and did his undergraduate
work at Michigan State College,
where he received the B.S. degree
in 1921. In 1925 he was awarded
the Master's Degree from the same
institution. Later he pursued his
studies toward the doctorate degree
at the University of Missouri, doing
a full year of residence there in
1931-32. »
Professor Fick became ill on Mon­day,
January 27, but his condition
was not critical until Thursday. He
died at 5:30 a. m. Sunday.
Plans For New Phone
Exchange Being Made
Difficulties in the way of deeding
the Southern Bell Telephone Company
the property next to the postoffice
have been cleared up, according to
Mayor W. D. Copeland. The first pay­ment
has been made, and plans for the
building have been completed.
The cost of the new building is to
be $10,000. In addition, there will be
about $18,000, worth of new and mod­ern
equipment. The sale price of the
lot was $2,750. The office, to be
built in bungalow style, will be second
to none in style, equipment, and po­tential
service.
Difficulty in deeding the property
from the city to the telephone com­pany
arose from the fact that no
deeds were to be found. The lot was
old school property. New affidavits
had to be made out, and more than
two months were spent in getting ar­rangements
completed.

resolution was adopted which stresses
the need for placing education and
health on a parity with other depart­ments
of. the state.
' The resolution would tend to bring
about action by the Legislature, the
governor and the people of Alabama
in the form either passage of statutes
or constitutional amendments. The
ideas of the resolution are based upon
the opinfon that education and health
are "the most essential and vital in­terest"
of the people.

Mad Dog Menace Now
Past, Says Copeland
Mayor W. D. Copeland states that
the people of Auburn cooperated well
in housing their dogs and aiding the
city officials to put an end to the mad
dog menace. Danger is now past
with no serious injury being known.
The order that dogs not be allowed
to go about in the streets has now
been rescinded. Dogs wearing collars
are in no danger of being impounded,
provided they have been inoculated
for rabies within the past year.
CRASH!
| T's a thunderstorm sweeping over Pittsfield,
Massachusetts. But G-E engineers, instead
of hiding under the bed, go up on the roof to
be nearer the lightning. On one of the buildings
of the Pittsfield Works they have built and
i equipped a lightning observatory. By means of
an ingenious periscope and a high-speed,
motor-driven camera, any lightning flash
occurring within many miles—north, south,
east, of west—can be automatically photo­graphed.
Its characteristics, as recorded on
the film, can then be compared with those
of the artificial flashes produced by the
10,000,000-volt lightning generator in the
laboratory.
An observatory has to have a hole in the roof..
To keep the rain from falling on the 12 lenses
of the camera—and from running down the
engineers' necks—compressed air is blown
upward through the aperture. When next the
thunder rolls over the Berkshires, and timid
citizens are cowering under the bedclothes,
these G-E engineers will be up on the roof
taking notes on Jove's own brand of lightning.
GAME BID

contract-bridge team, including Mr. and Mrs.
Ely Culbertson, played a "bridgecast" tourna­ment
with a high-ranking team from Argen­tina.
The North Americans were seated on
the stage of Rice Hall in the General Electric
Company, at Schenectady, N. Y., while the
Argentine team played at the Casabal Club
in Buenos Aires. The plays were carried by the
shortwave stations W2XAF and LSX, of
North and South America, respectively.
W2XAF, in Schenectady, used a feed-back
circuit so that short-wave listeners all over the
world, tuned to the one station, could follow
the playing with as great ease as the 500
kibitzers who jammed Rice Hall. This was the
first international bridge broadcast in which
the principals were all recognized experts.
The North American team, captained by
Culbertson, won by a margin of 1030 points.

Football Practice Is
Hampered By Weather
Due to unusually poor weather con­ditions
spring football practice has
not been progressing as rapidly as ex­pected.
The freshman have lost about
four days and will be forced to make
the time up this week, which means
that the varsity men won't report un­til
today.
Besides their regular periods of
calisthenics and practical work each
afternoon, the frosh have been attend­ing
short sessions of skull practice
each day from 12:15 to 1:00 o'clock.
With the addition of the varsity
men the squad is expected to number
65 or 70. Such a large squad will
mean a great deal of work for the
coaching staff, but will provide a
strong reserve group.
Providing more favorable weather
conditions prevail Coach Meagher ex­pects
to hold the first scrimmage two
weeks from today. At that time the
public will be permitted to see the
squad at close range and formulate
opinions as to how the Tigers will per­form
next year.

MONTGOMERY FAIR

res one cigarette that
writes its own advertising..
It's like this—
You see I'm reading a Chest­erfield
advertisement and I'm
smoking a Chesterfield ciga­rette,
and all of you are smoking
Chesterfields.
Now listen—Chesterfields are
mild (not strong, not harsh).
That's true isn't it?
Then you read "and yet they
satisfy, please your taste, give you
what you want in a cigarette."
That says it, doesn't it?
Wait a minute—
It says now that Chesterfields
have plenty of aroma and flavor.
One of you go out of the room
and come back. That will tell
you how pleasing the aroma is.
