th e new bridge rep resen ts one of th e finest

Another advantage th ese nations have in their eradi­
cation of illiteracy, according to Mr. Abel, is that they
have very little im m igration and all have m aintained
national governm ents long enough to be responsible for
the status of literacy within their borders. As a con­
sequence their illiteracy rate is undoubtedly below two
per cent.

REPORT
W hile the United S tates is the only country having a
population of more than 100,000.000 that has an Illiteracy
rate below ten per cent, the m easuring stick for Illiteracy
here is not so accurate as it is in som e of the countries
of Europe and even of Asia.
India, for Instance, requires the person tested to be
able to w rite a short letter to a friend and to read the
answ er. In the United S ta tes census takers m erely ask
the person w hether he can read and write. T h is de
creases the per centage figure in the U nited S tates since
som e illiterate persons claim to be able to read.— National

if any smoker because of mis­
information denies himself or
herself the pleasure of C amels .
New smokers are not always in a position to have a real preference
in cigarettes. But when they acquaint themselves with Camels they
develop that sense of discrimination that leads to real smoking pleasure.
Camels are made so carefully and of so good a blend of ch oicest
cigarette tobaccos th at even those w ith inexperienced sm oking
taste quickly recognize their superiority. They are for those who
appreciate the taste of choice tobaccos, the fragrance of a perfect
blend and the soothing mellowness of a really satisfying cigarette.
