Tho glamour which surrounds the name. "Turkish" will havo to bo torn away-as regards cigarettes. Pictures which show a fat Turk seated on a divan smok Ing a clgaretto and surrounded by beautiful harem girls will no longer deludo a credulous public , Mr. Btephano says that the tendency of mankind to cling to old Ideas and names la rcsponelblo for tho universal mlBnomcr "Turkish" cigarettes. They ceased to bo ii ...t.i.i. I.- -fiva nt thn soma tlmo that Turkish rulo over tlio nations of the Balkan peninsula stopped In 1312. Bul garia and other nations wero entirely freed from domination by Turkey at the end of tho Balkan war. ".Most of tho tobacco used In making so called Turkish cigarettes comes from Bulgaria, Macedonia and Servia, said Mr. Stephano. "Until tho Balkan war the Turks controlled tho output of these coun tries, and hence the cigarettes wero called Turkish' cigarettes. Now the Greeks and Bulgarians control tho output, but tho namo has clung. .... "Very llttlo of tho 'Block Sea' tobacco Is used in making theso cigarettes. Tho samo U truo of Smyrna tobacco. Only about 11 per cent, of this Is used In mix ture. Before tho outbreak of tho war quantities of Smyrna tobacco wero shipped to dreeco and other countries, and this supply can nowbo drawn on. Ab a mat ter of fact, 'Turkish' clgarettos can bo mado without any mlxturo of tills to bacco and purely from that grown lnk Bulgaria and Groeco. Of course, tho boat tobacco is a blend of different kinds, and all tho necessary kinds can bo obtained outsldo of Turkey. "Thero need bo no alarm on tho ecoro of clgaretto papers," continued Mr. Ste phano. "There Is a largo supply of theso In this country and In England. They aro made almost exclusively In Franco, but the war has had no effect on tho Industry." So In 1D50 tho fashionable clgaretto may bo called Grecian or Bulgarian. What'B In a namo? NEGRO DEMANDS DRINK WITH OPEN RAZOR Prisoner Who Threatened Saloon keeper Caught After Chase. "If I don't get a drink, dere's goln to bo "some bloodshed." Fred Hempton, a Negro, flourished a razor under tho noso of Victor Hamilton, In tho, saloon at 16th and Lombard streets, and said ho meant "blznlss." Hamilton, who Is calm under all condl dltlons, placed a glass of whisky before Hempton, and winked to a friend In a corner of the barroom. The friend slipped out and got Policeman Accoe. But when tho "cop" came In the front door, Hempton uttered a war whoop, cut a path with his razor, and darted out through the rear. He was caught after a chase of several blocks and ws subdued by Accoc's club. "I jes felt bad," was the only explana tion ho could givo to Magistrate Haggerty, at the 12th and Pino streets station. Ho was held under $500 ball for a further hearing. JITNEY JOY RIDING DEAR Young Men Who Engaged Bus Dis cover This After Arrest.
