"No Pipe TO Peddle
Pipes These Days,"
Affirm Merchants
Pipes , Long ones, short ones,
crooked ones, straight ones, but soon
no collegiate ones, statistics offered
by two leading State College tobac
conists show
The characteristic mouth-piece of
tho mustached students of the Gay
Nineties appear to be on the decline
Although pipes outlive by far the high
stiff collar, the hem y turtleneck
sweater and the four inch trouser bot
tom because they hold then subjects
by the bond habit, they are now ex
periencing a slow death.
"Slow death," however, does not
poem positive enough to describe the
destiny of the pleasure-offering instru
ment of old "Ultimate death" mob
pbly tends' toward the correct desti
nation Yet let our terminology be
no weaker, for even the love of Billie
Dove (can more enthralling , allure.'
ment be found') could not entice open
minded college men enough to make
them slight their cigarettes The pipe
is retreating even though the retrac
tion may not be readily be percieved
The freshman class, a friend of the
pipe manufacturer as far us the sale
of pipes bedecked with collegiate in
signia is concerned, accounts to a
great extent for the reluctancy in
pipe death. The freshmen are greeted
by every tobacco store window with
glistening lopes rim` whose bowls
flash class numerals. In many cases
the temptation has proved too great
and many heads emit clouds of smoke
which, as the smoker believes, lout of
sophistication.
Economy and lock of funds, how
ever, prove to be two of the greatest
friends of the pipe.
