PUBEIO OGEDGER-PHUJADELPHIA', TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1921 m kfflhi ItM OLD-FASHIONED SMOKER BANS THE SPEEDY "PUFFER Quid, Long'Drawn-Out Seances With Favorite Pipe Thing of Past "Progress" Is Blamed What lint become of the o1d-ffth-loncd man who could dlwnm the theory of evolution, tho principle-! of democracy nnd tho phllophy of Nlrzscho without letting his pipe ro out? He hns gone to the I-nnd of ' Uel-tn. Be, nccordlng to devotees of tho undent nnd honorable, practice or is It nrt? of nmoklni;. Gone, perhaps, to the. same cxiV of tho convicted chnp who needed a class or two of encouragement to Mng properly "Captain Jinks of the Howe Marines?" "Fancy Mnokers" Is the scornful ap pellation npplicd to the pre-ent genera tion of men. by n member of out) of the Cnmae street clubs who bfllMcs he lias lived to ee the decline nnd fall of the old school of tire-suie pipe nru-i. "Men nownilnjs," he says, "have a tjnsnltorv, nervous tnnnner of vmokinc which c'oes well with the hurly-burh. hi'lter-fkelter methods of the twentieth century. Few feem to know how to en joy a pipe or a cignr. They load It onre lc.ly. llifht It. heein a conversation forpf'. It, nnd let tt co out. "They co in for fancy brands of to bacco, nnd freakish kinds of pipes Thev huv or their wives buv for them eln'borntc K-.iokln; sets, b it thev do not know how to uao them, onco they hare them. "The nvernjre man uses dozens of matches for every pipeful, and then he usually throws nway a hntulful of good tobacco, unsmnked In the bottom of the pipe. A Ions conversation icuulring thoucht and attention always means n "sleeper" If tbe man jr smoklmt u ciKr, or n cold bowl' if he has a pipe. "As a matter of fact, the old-fashioned nround-thc-fireplnce talks are also nrettv nearly extinct, and conver sation Is something of a lost art, but that is nnother story. "Tho fact remains that something, pcrhnps It was the cigarette, has ruined old-fashioned jmoklng. Tho plpo espo clnllv is going Into limbo, probably be causo it looks silly banging over the steam rndlator whereas tt seemed to lit In exactly with tho smoke-charred fire place One seldom sees a pipe in n hotel restaurant, nnd only In twmo clubs Is there any pretense of giving nllcglnnce to the once-popular monarch of tho to bacco kingdom. "Between you nnd me, I v.ou1dn t be surprised If Mr. Volstead Iintl some effect in furthering tho lowering of smoking standards. It has put n danipor on legal conviviality, nnd con- l..tll.a. ..a.. ......

"What I have snld applies to Ameri cans, it may bo that over in itngianu, whero old customs stick longer, old fashioned smoking ntnndnrds have nlno survived. It Is more than likely our dynnmic. almost cyclonic methods In the United States are responsible princi pally for Jerky, nervous smokers of to dav." The conversation turned to n recent story concerning the winning by the French of the world's championship In tobacco smoking. Tho l'hllndclphlan expressed positive doubt ns to whether anv I'hlladelphlnns could challenge the Gnllie title holder. Others, nsked the same question, hnd much the mine feeling. "I wouldn't go ns far ns to sny that there aren't men here who could equnl this Frenchman's fent of smoking n pipeful of tobacco for fifty-eight minutes without relighting, but 1 do believe there Isn't enough Interest in old fashioned smoking to start an orgnnUcd contest in this or nny other American city. "It wouldn't bo n bnd plnn. cither, for one of these clubs which pride them selves on maintenance of old-time cus toms to try to net up such a contest. Just to test out the abilities of smokers on this side of the ocean. Slow nnd fust smoking competition could be nr- rnnged, provided tho Judges were pro vided with gns masks or smoke screens in the latter case, nnd the nffalr might bring nbout rebirth of the good old days of rent smokers. "As It Is now. the few real smokers left aro born to smoke unseen nnd waste their bet tobneco on the desert air. If they break Monsieur Monas tcrskl's speed record of throe minutes one nnd two-tlfths seconds for n cigar nobody knows nbout it except their wives, Mho complain of nshes on the parlor rugs. However, I doubt If there are mnny of them who break record" Most of them do little but smoke matches.
