Dear Lire: Why omit from your June 14 issue “Life at Home?” I trust this doesn’t mean that you have discontinued this feature permanently. If “Jumping at Conclusions” is funny, please quote your best price for completely overhauling my sense of humor. But don’t worry unduly, over this letter—as long as O. O. McIntyre writes “Theatre”, you'll get my dime each week. Yours truly, Olin P. Miller. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Lire: I don’t recall the first number of Lire, but there have been mighty few issues that I have not read. I must like most of it. Not all! I notice you make no comments on the letter of Mr. Robert L. Ranson in the May 31 issue. May I suggest one which I consider appropriate. It is my duty as an American citi- zen to obcy the laws of my country, but before that there is an obligation to prevent any legislation or the en- forcement of any put on the books thru bribery and blackmail. The Anti- Saloon League has been more corrupt than the saloonkeeper as a whole ever was, and the man who defends it is lacking in true citizenship. This ap- plies to every one, including Mr. Hoo- ver and Mr. Ranson. I always voted dry until the Anti- Saloon League came into action, but I recognize the fact that when a set of unscrupulous men can bulldoze a leg- islature into something—anything— which happens to suit sheir fancy without consulting the people we are indeed in peril. Yours truly, ]. Ward Wickersham. “Movie” Proverbs The longer the film the more fa- miliar the theme song. The nearer the centre of the row the fewer the disturbances.

Why Young Men Are Switching to Pipes Here are four good reasons Some young men will tell you they have turned to a pipe because (1) it’s one of the few manly rights they still can call their own, Some because (2) it’s now the fashion on almost every college campus to smoke a pipe. Others because (3) a pipe seems to help their brains work better. Whatever the reason—this fact remains: young men ARE switching to pipes be- cause they are learning what science has always held: (4) the sweetest, purest form in which tobacco can be smoked is in a pipe!
