Bolcgard puffs a

By EPSIE KINARD
NEA Stall Correspondent
NKW YORK, Miir. 28 The
petticoat trade has invaded the
sacred precincts of the tobaccon
ists' shops and has entered ir.'.o
vigorous competition fur the lim
ited supply of pipes available to
fugitives from tile cigarette lines.
. Swank Kitth Avenue shops
displaying deluxe feminine briars
find .their shelves raided. Head
shaking pipe salesmen are inita
ating the gals into the gentle
mysteries of packing howls, in
panelled quarters hitherlo as
male as a London club. Bohind-lhc-countcr
connoisseurs of the
nfcpalurc leaf and the aromatic
Flavor are whooping up the
blends that don't bite. Show
rases display hefty masculine,
briars and sturdy meerschaums
side-by-side with dainty, quarter-sized
replicas which set the
femnics back anywhere from $.'J
to $17.50. Lady-like pouches
may cost a gal as mahy as five
bucks. Tougher girl "pipers,"
though, prefer the huskier man's
pipe, disdaining the feminized
inidgets.
Just as cigarettes landed be
tween the rouged lips of the na
tion in World war 1, pipe stems
have become popular in World
war II, creating a vogue which
shrewd observers expect to click
as a smoking habit. Cigar-smokers
harassed by the stogie short
age arc trembling with fear lest
the dames start competing with
them for the. scarce weeds.
Btft pipe-smf4kmg bV women is
not new, savs one old-timer, cit
ing a bold blue-blood of Spanish
King Alfonso's court who in 11117
Ml set a vogue which sweot Paris
and traveled to London. Proof
that it had followers here is the
conservative tobacconist's claim
that he has had some lady cus
tomers for years, f.'any writers,
artists, and .just plain housewives
prefer the contemplative smoke,
like the taste of succulent stems
and enjoy the continual puff-puff
from a lighted chimney pot.
The girls were waiting for just
such an excuse as the cigarette

shortage to bring their briars in
to the open, smoke them on the
street, in offices and restaurants,
and at Junior League luncheons,
sav pipe salesmen.
But they ve got their problems.
Biggest is finding tobacco, suit
or! to feminine palates. Too
strong arc commercial blends,
made for men. So unlearned me
the novices in the mysteries of
obtaining blander mixtures that
one swank shop is reorganizing
its tobacco department to lielp
the girls around the corners.
Once girls learn how to pick
a blend, pack a bowl, fire up by
lighting the whole surface even
ly, and how to keep a pipe sweet
and dry by keeping it clean, they
arc- expected to derive more
pleasure from their long-stem
med smokes.
Just as the petticoat trade goes
for the fruit, rum and honey
flavored tobacco, so are they
suckers for pretty plastic pipe
terns lipstick red, complexion
pink and yellow, green or what
have-vou to match a costume
Pine-stem sets for one briar bowl
which enable the girls to switch
colors to suit a mood, just as they
switch their hats, are already on
the counters. In the works arc
other feminized ideas, including
a hand bag which will give
pipe a home. Marched out for
the girls arc gadgets for tamping
tobacco in the bowl to save wear
and tear on glittering nails.
Ladies pick a pipe not by wood
or grain, as men do, but fjr ap
Deurances. salesmen say. . What
puzzles the men behind the coun
tors it how a novice knows that
she should have a hefty bowl
with a long stem, if she's a big
gal; a daintier "bull dog," "apple
or "billiard ball,' if she's the
petite type.

German Resistance
Crumbles as Allies

time lo avoid hitting allied
tion yet made by Field Marshal
Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's 21st
army group.
The advance was going ahead
so rapidly that at one point a
dramatic "hold your fire" or
der was flashed to RAF fliers
swarming out to pound the
Germans' fleeing road columns.
British tank forces wore so
close on the heels of the re
treating enemy that the air at
tacks had to be called off for a
troops.
In the Muensier area, the Bri
tish were less than 40 miles from
a juncture with U. S. first army
tanks, last reported at Paderborn,
190 miles southwest of the Ger
man capital. The Yanks were
ranging out almost unopposed lo
the north and cast of that road
center after, a sensational , 100-mi!-3
flanking sweep from the
Giessen area.
Tank Advance is Rapid
On the first army's right flank,
the American third army's plung
ing tank columns were plowing
northeast and east from Giessen
at a milc-an-hour clip, sinning
along the main Frankfurl-Bcrlin
superhighway.
The German high command
said third army forces were at
Bad Wildungen 186 miles south
west of Berlin and ID miles south
west of the Hessian capital of
Kassel. Kassel, keystone of the
Germans' Weser river line, was
being outflanked from the south
west and southeast. Its fall would
break the enemy's last major
water line short of the Elbe and
Berlin.
Spearheads Near Kassel
A first army spearhead reached
Fritzler on the Eder river, only
14 miles southwest : of Kassel,
while a third army column reach
ed the Ti'.'sysa area, 2i) miles
southwest of Kassel.
Other first army spearheads
swept through Paderborn. 1KB
miles west of Berlin, moving at
such a rale that a dispatch from
first army headquarters said they
had now virtually cut off the
Ruhr from central Germany.
This column was moving to a
junction with Field Marshal Sir
Bernard Montgomery's forces.
These troops, still under a secur
ity blackout, were reported to
have mcivul post Mucnster, 227
mile s from B"i lin.
The distance between the first
army spearhead and Montgom
ery's columns was not known
exactly since Montgomery's for
ces seemed to be swingning some
what northward tov.aitl the great
German port cities of Hamburg
and Bremen.
The closest column to Berlin j
according to allied reports was j
the first army spearhead at Fritz- I
lar where it was Itla miles fiom
the relch capital. German ac

...... ..ol nnct-urni- lUOIlricM- 1st UlC Sclf
This is the invention (patent number 2,1171,287) of Max and Bernie
Feldman of Brooklyn, N. Y., and where they got the raw material
is their secret; all I know is that one end of the cigaret is dipped m
'ii- whatever it is that makes fire. No need to strike a match;
just strike your cigaret
Smoke stains teeth and that.
leads US inevitably to the paral
lel inventions of Albert A. Heicl
eman of Zurich; Ontario, .and Li
my. Walker of Mullen, Neb. Al
bert has invented a tooth brush
with the paste in the handle, ft
oozes through a tube to the bris
tles and automatically polishes
your choppers.
Now to Wash Mouth
So all right. There yuu are
smelling of spearmint. Your
mouth is full of foam. You put
down Albert's invention and take
up Lerny's.
, He has patented the fountain
tooth brush. You hitch hose to
faucet, insert brush in mouth and
whoosh, Leroy's free-;spraying
tooth brush rinses away Albert's
automatic suds. I tell vou, it's
going lo be a wonderful world,
as soon as these boys can gel in
to production. That isn't all.
Frank W. Schwinn of Racine,
Wis., has produced the folding
bicycle. You can't put it in your
pocket, exactly, but you can car
ry it on a streetcar.
Gcod-by Hot Riding
Horace B. Rogers of Norfolk,
Va., likewise has considered the
transportation problem. He is
responsible for an automobile air
condiloner that works like this:
a tank of water under pressure
is attached lo a kind of garden
spray on the hood, facing the
windshield. When you push Un
button, Horace claims that the
ear is enveloped in a cloud of
cool, clean, refreshing mist. Boy!
Louis Frank of Fellows, Calif..
says why waste 11111010 man
hours screwing electric light
bulbs into their sockets? He has
invented a bulb with bumps on
a socket with holes, so thai oiv
snaps into the oilier before yuu
can say blaekoul.
Look Far Into Future
That brings up Eddie Leger
and Nick I'aiidiscio of Filrhburg.
Mass., who may be a little late.
They have patented the instan
taneous window blackcr-ouler.
Maybe they are figuring on
world war III. Their widget
pops a curtain across the vjn
clciw in a hurry.
Then there's Halo H. Trevisan
of Newark, N. J who has pat

I have studied the engineering
details of this, but I am a dope
I can't figure it out. All I knov
