Is tolmcco polu t l.nve Its scalp ndilcul U tlc lt'lt of t!iL prohiMtlonist bookie t'nat of the lnuit'iitt'il but as yi't not ultoctlior late nlroltol?" is the Qut'Silou iisUed ty Canvt Sinitl in an article in the current Issue of Leslie's Magazine." The writer reaches the conclusion that while there has been Increased agitation and legislative activity on the subject of tobacco following the success of the drive for prohibition of liquor the efforts of reformers seeking to abolish tobacco have no general support. This opinion Is based on the results of the questionnaires on the

subject sent out to newspaper editors of the country by the Press Service Company of New York City. ' The questions asked were: (1) Io you favor the enactment of laws prohibiting the tersonal use of

i tobacco by adults? I ('J) In your Judgment docs the general sentiment of your community favor such legislation? (.'!) Is the use of tobacco pcrsontilobjectionable to you? j No arguments accompanied the qr.esitlons and from their form it was Im- ! possible for any editor to determine ;i!:e attitude of the questioners.

Out of 12,518 editors questioned,

17 replied according to the summary

f iven. lhese editors, it is estimated,

represent a combined circulation of Ul.S7O.01G. Of the 7,847 editors replying, 7,Sirt, or 03 per cent, represent public sentiment In their communities as opposed to antl-tobacco legislation. Only 1200 editors, or .'1 per cent of those replying believed there was anr considerable sentiment favoraMe to tobacco prohibition. There were 174, or 2 per cent. In doubt, while 'JO failed to record their Judgment. Editors' Judgment Unbiased "It Is of special Interest to note that r01) editors In answering the first

! question, personally favored such ! legislation, although only 'JUO of them reported that public opinion also favored the prohibition of tobacco an Indication of the conscientious effort made by the editors to distinguish public opinion from their own personal opinions," the article continues, j "The highest percentage of replies 'reporting public opinion favorable to prohibition of tobacco came from Utah, where 4'2 pe cent of the editors

thought the public were Tor sucn a movement. Utah Is the only state

which has since adopted an anti

cigarette law. The result was fore

cast by several of the editors who

Ftnted that tbe ihlluence of the Mnr

mon Church was against tobacco. The Mormon Church Is also strong In Idaho, which Is the other state where the us,, of tobacco was recently prohibited,

but the governor has signed the bill

Just passed, In which the prohibitory legislation Is repealed. In this state 89 per cent of the editors estimate

sentiment In their communities as against tobacco prohibition, which,

nevertheless, is G per cent below the

average reported opposition.

"The legislature of Tennessee some

weeks ago passed and the governor

has signed a bill reponllng the anti

cigarette law of that state. The qn

tlonnalre showed 03 per cent of its

editors believed the public against

anti-tobacco legislation. The legisla

tore of Arkansas has also passed n bill repealing Its antl-clgarette law. In

this state 01 per cent of the editors

reported against tobacco prohibition. Arizona's Practical Joke

"A bill, introduced in the current session of the legislature of Arizona

to prohibit smoking In public dining rooral awVi other public places, was

first amended to prohibit the consumption In public of peanuts, chewing gum, tea and coffee and then defeated bv the senate. The questionnaire

returns from that state were 0'j per

cent no.'

"In Iowa where the 'no's' were 05

per cent a bill to repeal the anti

cigarette law has been passed and

signed by the governor.

"A bill to reieal the antl-clgarette

law In Kansas, with 80 per cent 'no's.'

Is receiving the attention of Its .legislature. Last year a petition for a

referendum In Oregon to prohibit the

use of tobacco failed of sufiicient slg

natures to bring the quotlon to a vote, and 03 per cent of th. editors

declare their public agalnt legislation.

In Oklahoma on aptl-cigaretU bill hts been reported unfavorably In tie

house. The editors of that ytate re

ported 91 per cent against its public

support.

"Outside of Ttah, where Mormon

Influence predominates the article

concludes. 'the antl-tobacco move

ment appears, as In the case of Ten nessee, Arkansas and Iowa, to be los Inz around and Is aot to any consld

erablo extent supported by the Peo

ple."

TOP COAT "THING OF BEAUTY"

Seasonable Outer Garment One of the

Most Important Adjuncts to Milady's Wardrobe.

At this season of the year the top-

coat Is one of the most important ad

Juncts to the well-dressed woman's

wardrobe. Hut while the name may

conjure up a vision of an all-envelop

ing wrap that is somewhat nondescrlp In appearance, the modern topcoa may truly be named "a thing of beau

ty, and a Joy' as long as the fashion

lasts.

ror one thing, there is sucn a

wealth of rich fabrics from which it

may be fashioned. Their colors are so

varied and so delightful that one con

templates these modes as one would

an exhibition of rare paintings. And

the style touches that add so much distinction to these modes are m-t

unusual. The buckle and the plain button that once considered them

selves the only embellishments on such

wraps are far eclipsed by the decorations of the hour. .

Strangely wrought cords, rich In

color, fake the place of the formal belt leather strap. Oorgeous tassels

dangle from softly draped ßlrdle or

cuff. Elaborate embroideries make

one hesitate in naming the garment

which they adorn. Severe mannish lines have vanished before bewitching flounces, fantastic draperies, and quaintly wrinkled folds that merely hint of sleeves.

Sometimes a most striking combina

tion of fabrics opens up vistas of new

Ideals In Ihe matter of fashioning surf

wraps, while their lovely color Is one

of the most delightful aspects of the present mode.
