Take a strangle hold on yourself and determine to do something for the soldier boys who smoke. You really ought to get the snow off your feet and join this cause. You will be a has-been If you do not. Everybody Is helping. Everybody is interested in it. See, here, how it appealed to a sport writer who was sent to give an ac count of a smoke benefit: "The smoke show was a good show, because it raised a big sock of dough for the soldiers, who need tobacco about as much as a fight fan, which is saying a scuttleful, be cause if Mr. Hoover had come into the Olympia, Wednesday night, and seen the clouds of smoke pouring through the skylights like it goes through'the chimneys at Midvale, he would have raised a heluva hol ler, and Sent for Thomas A. Edison to come quick and put in smoke condensers so that the deplorable waste could be stopped. "Maybe Edison could find a way to pack that smoke in cans and send it to the trenches, where the sol diers could either inhale It or shoot It at the Germans—depending on whether the two-bit smokes of the toffs down front or the jitney cigarets o fthe lads in the back gal lery had the best of the argument In the general flavor."
