veloped lis victims and left them
choking, screaming and fighting
for air.
Many persons were sitting by
the dental room near the elevator
waiting for their appointments,
probably occupied with thoughts
of the r trouhU's when the yellow
clouds of poison gas came bil
lowing toward them. It came,
perhaps while they wondered
what was wrong and then before
they knew it they were choking
from the deudly fumes.
They clutched their throats and
gasped for air, hut there was
only the suffocating odor. Fight
ing,, screaming, they reeled and
pounded on the elevator door, llut
thero was no ono to answer their
call. ;
The heel marks of a woman's
shoe were on the elevator door.
Firemen and policemen, every
available man, hurried out to the
rescue. They carried tho victims
out over tho roof, through win
dows nnd .down ladders In any
way they could. They shot streams
of water inside, to quench the
flames and the water turned a
dirty yellowish brown as it settled
and sloshed on the floors.

After all's said and
done, the pleasure

is what counts
Although the , three pool and
card room proprietors whose!
licenses were revoked and thelr
bonds declared forfeited by the
city council last Monday forenoon,
because of their huving pleaded
guilty in court to selling "bitters"
or tonics, by the glass, following
a raid made by federal prohibition
enforcement authorities, and their
friends have been beseeching
Mavor Pines ever since to lift the
ban nnd grant new licenses and
bonds;- on their promf.se to here
after not to sell any - intoxicmitji,
these pleas have evidently had no
effect. -
When asked this noo as to
whether he was going to permit'
these establishments to open up
again, and if so when, Mayor 11 pes
only smiled and said he had noth
ing to say on the subject. Asked
specifically if tho city administra
tion was going to relent in its atti
tude and permit the three pool and
card room proprietors to take out
new licenses on or before the city
council meeting next Tuesday, he
answered "no," said the meeting
had nothing to do with the matter,
and. Intimated that if ever new
licenses were granted the period
would be Indefinite.
The mayor has Impressed on the
three proprietors and the miiny
others who have been laboring
with him in their behalf that the
amended city ordinance governing
card and pool rooms, and which
will be passed by the city council
next Tuesday 'night, would have
teeth Incorporated which would
make the hair curl of the card and
pool room proprietors.
It Ih understood that the three
whoso licenses were revoked have
all come voluntarily to the mayor
and declared they , would never,
again sell "bitters" or other intoxi-.
cants, and would obey to the limit
every city ordinance, and usked to
bo permitted to take out new
licenses nnd open up ngain. These
establishments have been flnnn
chilly hard hit since their licenses
to operate card and billiard and
pool tables were revoked. They
con only sell tobaccos, lunch and
the like now. ,
The raiding of these throo out of
all Aiedford's card and pool rooms
has aroused much comment gener
ally about the city, and especially
as to why J wo such places, which,
had mude a practice of selling
"hitters," were not raided. These
two places were reported to have,
had the heaviest sale or bitters.
The public general talk Is grud-i
ually growlng more pronounced, .,n
tho rumor spreads that other card!
and pool rooms had been "tipped,
off" In time, so that the under
cover federal prohibition agents
were unable to buy "bitters" In
these places nnd thus obtain evi
dence against them.
This talk about certain card and
pool rooms having allegedly been
lipped off" has been so widely
circulated that even a minister of
the city visited the mayor and
asked why the other pool and card
rooms were not raided and closed.
Tho only general answer that
can be given to this question Is
that the raiding authorities were
unable to obtuir, evidence on which
to make arrests, thru tho Inability
of their agents to buy bitters in
I hem. It seems that all of a sud
den some time prior to the rnid
tliese establishments ceased selling
bitters to any one not known to
them, and thus evidence could not
)e obtained.

C I G A R ETT E S
WHY CAMELS
ARE THE BETTER CIGARETTE
Camels are made of the choicest tobaccos
grown.
The Camel blend of Domestic and Turkish
tobaccos has never been equaled.
Camels are mild and mellow.
They do not tire the taste.
They leave no cigarctty after-taste.
Camels have a delightful fragrance that is
pleasing to everyone.
