WOOL MOVEMENT INCREASING PORTLAND, May 24 (IP) Move ment of wool into Portland is increas ing so rapidly that the trade is a triile bewildered as to what should be done with it. There remains a general lack of business. Consign ments appear the only source of movement at the moment. No sales are confirmed at any point. Whether this week's Condon auction will stimulate activity, only the future will show. Everyone In the trade hopes that something will happen to start tilings moving. ' The movement of consigned wool into Portland Is from practically alt Pacific slope states, even Northern California contributing some fleece. Most of the movement Is by trucks; the . highways Into Portland being lined with huge loads of sacked wool. This has startled the railroad com panies who are moving to protect their interesi-s. in AFRICA.. I CAPIOReO A UVSNA ...

That question is vitally im portant ... for every smoker inhales know ingly or unknowingly. Every smoker breathes in some part of the smoke he or she draws out of a cigarette! And the delicate membranes of your throat demand that your smoke be pure, clean free of certain impurities. No wonder Lucky Strike dares to raise this vital question! For Luckies bring you the pro tection you want . . . because Luckies' famous purifying process removes certain impurities concealed in every tobacco leaf. Luckies cre ated that process.
