Nelson, Is a well-known dental surgeon. Leroy Prinz tells the story of the Hollywood extra girl and her pet parrot. Every night she puts a cover over the parrot's cage so it will keep quiet until she gets up. She always removes the cover the first thing in the morning. The other a. m., she had just done this when the landlady called her to the telephone. Thinking it might be from central casting, she dropped the parrot’s cage on the bed and made a dash for the hall. As she went out of the room, the maid came in to make the bed. The maid pulled the blankets back with a flourish and they fell over the parrot’s cage. “Cripes,” squawked the bird, “that was a short day!” It probably won’t get very far, but there is a movement afoot among the stars for everybody to stop signing autographs.

"Take my last crop, for instance. Camel bought all the best parts — paid me the most I’ve ever gotten. The men who grow tobacco know what to smoke-Camela!” “Last year I had the dandiest crop ever,” says Mr. V l * * ’ Roy Jones, another k experienced planter "ifei w ' lo P re^ers Cam- !■ els. “I smoke Camels because I know they bid higher and pay more at the auctions for the choice lots of leaf tobacco. They paid the highest price I ever got from anybody. Considering that Camel uses finer, costlier tobaccos, it’s not surprising that Camel is the leading cigarette with us planters.” Mr. Harold C raig, too, bases his preference for Camels on what he knows ’ 7l about the kinds / of tobaccos that “ * go into the various cigarettes. “I get the check —so I know that Camels use more expensive tobaccos. Camel got the best of my last crop. That holds true with most planters I know too. You bet I smoke Camels." Copyright, 1»38. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. WuMloo-Saiam, North Carolina
