ity. Many came In from surrounding territory, able-bodied men and women who had grown tired of working and who began to make inroads into the business of “deserving” beggars already here. The municipal government decided that was too much, and it began classifying the beggars as “deserving” and undeserving.” The latter class was escorted to the city limits and bid good-by with the municipal boot. The former was welcomed heartily and informed they would be cared for thoroughly. It no longer would be necessary for them to beg, they were told, since a municipal guardian would be appointed for each. The guardian would visit each beggar once a month and pay for board and lodging out of funds supplied by the church community. The new system was put into effect Jan. 1 and police issued an order prohibiting begging throughout the town. For more than a month the sys-

tem worked to perfection. Then it palled on the active beggars. . They disliked being treated like inmates of a home for the aged. They missed the uncertainty of what their rewards would be—a windfall, or a kick. They were bored by knowing where they were going to sleep every night, and where they were going to eat. They decided to call a mass meeting to air their grievances. With admirable courtesy, they sent two crippled delegates to inform the police of the date and place of the meeting and the names of the beggars who desired to address it. But the police refused to grant them the permit without which no public meeting may be held in Hungary. That was the last straw. The beggars called a strike. One and all, they refused to accept the church donations. ’

Yale men decide which is best cigarette

[Reproduced from, the Yale JVews, Jan . 25, 1929] F OLD GOLD CIGARETTES WIN 1 I FIRST IN TESTS AT YALE 1 In the recent cigarette test made k 9 at the University, Old Golds were || chosen by the students as the best, ij * h Instead of blindfolding the individI ual as has been done in the past the J cigarettes were masked by black jj labels attached to each cigarette so i that the name of the brand was con- 9 cealed. Each (label was numbered., m ( This was judged to be the most sport- M ing way of testing'the merits of the four leading brands.,Some 208 Yale A students were supplied with samples' fi *of each cigarette and were asked to 1 smoke and compare the four dis- I k, - guised brands without knowing their j m, identity.’ 9 W They were merely to~ choose, by j ■ number, the one that was the most a Hk appealing to the taste. J ■ . The News supervised the test on J| W January 18 at yarious fraternity ™ k houses and in the News office. i jl When the votes were recorded it 1 B was discovered that OLD GOLD I I (Cigarette No. 3) had won. It re- 1 ft ceived more votes than any other M ft brand. Old Gold was given 63 first ■ H choices, which was 11 per cent ahead a m of Cigarette No. 2,34 percent ahead P of Cigarette No. 1, and 53 percent I k ahead of Cigarette No. 4.
