INCREASE IN CIGARETTE CON
'SUMPTION.
The Guaranty Survey, a publication of
tfea Guaranty .Trust Company, of New
York, gives some interesting figures on
cigarette manufacture and consumption
and these figures are of special interest
to North Carolna because of the fact that
this State produces more cigarettes than
any other State vn the Union, with Win
ston-Salem leading the list of cigarette
producing towns in the State. The
Guaranty Survey points out that the
manufacture of cigarettes causes the use
of more tobacco than does the making of
cigars, and aUjo that with the exception
of 1920, increase in cigarette consump
tion has been shown every year over the
previous year since 1901,
lasc year, according to these figures,
the indicated production of cigarettes
was 71,000,000,000, not including the 10,-
000,000,000 produced in bonded ware
houses.
North Carolina paya huge amounts
each year tp the federal government in
taxes, and Winston-Salem leads the
State for the simple reason that it is
the largest cigarette town in the United
States. Dispatches carried in State pa
pers ,several days ago showed that the
cigarette factories of the Twin-City piy,
in tox, $1,000,000 every three days in
the year.
The Charlotte News, in pointing out
that “the growth of oigarette-ar.ioking
has been a phenomenon of the past sev
eral years,” expresses the belief that wo
men smokera have had much to do with
the increase. The News admits that “the
smoking habit was given a tremendous
impetus during the war, but the chances
are that the increasing number of wom
en smokers has materially had its effect,
also upon the question of production.”
The Guaranty Survey gives an inter
eating insight into the growth of the
cigar and cigarette business, which says
that the sharp drop in cigar consumptioc
after 1893 is noticeable, following the
earlier steady growth. Not again until
114J0 was the record for 1893 equalled:
and in 1920, when production, already
noted, was at the peak, the maximum of
,“."05,000,000 was reached. The subse
quent trend has been irregularly down
ward! The indicated consumption last
year was 7.003,000,000 cigars.
Not until 1877 did cigarette consump
tion pass the 100,000,000 mark, but its
expansion was very rapid for twenty
years thereafter. Then followed four
years of sharp decline, ’ and ten years
passed before the 1897 figure, 4.153.000,-,
000, was agaih attained. The f. toal de- (
dine -in consumption after 1807 was less
than that indicated, owing to the reclaa- j
sification of what came to he known as
little eigars. In only one year since 1901
has a decline been recorded. The drop
In consumption in the ftrscal year ended
June 80, 1021, corresponds to the cur
tailed production shown above for the
calendar yean 1920. J
FOURTEEN RULES FOR HEALTH.
Summer days are dangerous days for
health. People are prone to eat too
much and drink too many iced beverages.
Reasonable working hours hurt no one,
but too much exercise, whether at work
or play, should not be taken in the snn.
Judge Gary, of the steel corporation,
recently paid a visit to Aabnma, going
there to inspect Muscle Shoals. After
his visit he declared that while in that
State he found fourteen golden rules of
health.” and he added that he values
them more than his trip to the various
Shoals property. Judge Gary is 78 years
of age, yet he easily passes for a man
not older than 60. His rules are:
1. Exercise moderately in the open
air. ' 1”'
2. Breathe deeply.
3. I.enve alcohol alone.
4. Drink tea and coffee if desired.
5. Drink lots of pure water.
6. Eat little meat. Eat little starch,
but lots of greens and fruit.
7. Keep regular' habits.
8. Get plenty g»f sleep.
9. Work hard but not too long at a
time.
10. Lend a good, clean life.
11. Keep your temper' and avoid ex
oitement.
12. Don't indulge in controversy.
13. Observe the Golden Rule.
14. Eat when hungry— not to satisfy
taste.
The City of Concord recently purchas
ed a truck which will be used to remove
trash from the' business section of the
city. The truck replaces mule teams
which had been used for many jreafs.
is to be hoped that the change will’prove
ao beneficial that additional trucks will:
be purchased for use in the residential
sections of the city. It is to be regrete
ted that Concord has no systematic way
of removing the trash that inevitably
gathers in the yards of its residents. In
many cases, or rather in a majority of
the chses, the trash remains in the yards
until the annual “Clean Up Week” is
observed each spring, when as a matter
of fact, it should be carried off each week.
LINE FIGHTING HARD TO
MAINTAIN ITS SCHEDULE

chise. , •'
Greensboro, • July 2.—Desperate ef
forts are being made by the United Stage
Lines, bus; concern, operating on the
half hour between here and Raleigh, to
make its schedule, it was learned here
today, although twelve busses have been
taken from it by the White Company,
bus manufacturer.
Paul Sheiian and Parke Shehan. broth-1
ers, who were in charge of the United
Stage Lines when receivers took charge j
of it upon court order, have given their
private Cadillac and Packard automo,-
biles and Jplinny Johnson, another stock- j
holder, has placed ih his privately owned
bus in order to keep the schedule going.!
In addition the Shehans went to Norfolk
and borrowed busses which were up in
service.
The franchise between here and Ra
leigh is considered to be very valuable,
ant! the SWehnns *nd Johnson, although
out of management of the concern, are
fighting to keep their property, which is
stock in the concern.
The first court decision recognising
the legality of labor unions‘was one ren
dered by the Massachusetts courts in
1838 in the case of the Journeymen
Bootmakers’ Organization, which had
been indicted for a conspiracy to raise
wages. The decision completely vindi
cated the right of workingmen to com
bine for such a purpose.
If we came from monkeys we have
picked up a lot of bad habits along the
way.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
DINNER STORIES
An Impression.
Jcfcn D. Rockefeller, Jr , .mpresses us
as a man who thinks it was easitr once
for u full sized camel to squeeze through
the eye of a needle than for a rich man
to get into heaven but that we’ve made
a ;ot of progress.
An Awful Possibility.
“I see' the natives of oae of the Phil
ippine Islands forbid iangnter by law.”
"Holy smoke! Do you think the re
formers have heard about that?”
Patrick and Isaac were engaged in ar
gument as .to which race had produced
the greater number of great men. They
finally agreed to a bet. For each great
man of his race Pat named, he Win en
titled to pull one of Isaac’s whiskers.
For each great man that Isaac named
he was entitled to pull one of Pat’s.
“Abraham,” said Isaac. He pulled
one.
“Saint Patrick.” Pat broke in one
Isaac's beard.
"Moses,” Isaac scored.
“Parnell,” Pat garnered one.
“Sampson.”
“The Duke of Wellington.” [ i;
"The twelve apostles,” said Isaac, be
ginning to be irritated.
The Irishman bellowed. He lunged
forward and fastened both hands in the
other’s shrubbery.
“The Knights of Columbus,” he roared.
Probably All Soots.
A Scotchman got a pbsition in a large
commercial house in London; a friend
: meeting him shortly afterward asked :
"Well, how are you liking England?”
“All Tight,” he replied.
“But how do you like the English?”.
“Oh, well,” said the Scot, “I have na’
met mony of the English, yet. You see,
a’ my dealings are wi’ the heads o’ the
departments.”
Hoop: “Wkfr do they call a man’s wife
his 'better half?”
Hershey: “To keep her from thinking
she’s the whole thing.”
The Dangerous Part of a Dog.
Four-year-oid Mary and her father
were taking a walk. As she went gayly
hippity hopping down firfct Street a big
dog, evidently attracted by her exuber
ance of spirits, ran Out from a yard and
began to frolic about her. Mary, fright
ened, beat a retreat to her father’s side
and clung timidly to his hand.
"Why, Mary,’’ said her father, “you
aren't afraid of this nice dog! He is
just friendly. Bee how he wags his
. tail!”
Mary looked up ’into her father's face.
“But, father,” she said earnestly, “that’s
not the end I'm afraid of.” ‘

CHAPTER XTV (Continued)
"Then where the dooee did. they
drop *tromV asked Lord John.
“A question which wlD.no doubt,
be eagerly discussed in every sci
entific society In Europe and
America,” the Professor answered.
“My own reading of the situation
for what It Is iorth—" he Inflated
his chest enormously and looked
Insolently around him at the words
—“la that evoiution has advanced
under the peculiar conditions of
this country up to the vertebrate
stage, the old types surviving and
living on in -company with the
newer ones. Thus we find such
modern creatures as the tapir—an
animal with quite a respectable
length of pedigree—the great deer,
and the ant-eater in the companion
ship of reptilian forms of Jurassic
type. So much is clear. And now
come the ape-men and the Indian.
Whai is the scientific mind to think
of their presence?' I can only ac
count for it by an invasion from
outside. It is probable that there
existed an athropotd ape ju South
America, who in past ages found
his way to this place, and that he
developed into the creatures we
have seen, some of which” —here
he looked hard at me —"were of
an appearance and shape which,
if it had been accompanied by cor
responding intelligence, would. 1
do not hesitate to say, have reflect
ed credit upon any living race.
As to the Indians 1 cannot doubt
that they 'are more recent immi
grants from below. Under the stress
of. famine or of conquest they have
made their way up here. Faced
by ferocious creatures which they
had never before seen, they took
refuge in the caves which our
young friend das described, but
they have no doubt had a bitter
fight to hold their own against
wild beasts, and' especially against
the ape-men who would regard
them as Intruders, and wage a
merciless war upon them with a
cunning which the larger beasts
would lack. Hence the fact that
their numbers appear to be limited.
Well, gentlemen, have I read you
the riddle aright, or Is there any
point which you would query?”
Professor Smnmerlee for once
was too depressed to argue, though
he shook his tjfad violently as a
token of general disagreement.
Lord John merely scratched his
scanty locks with the remark that
he couldn’t put up a figlu as he
wasn't in the same weight or class.
For my own part I performed my
usual role of bringing things down
to a strictly prosaic and practical
level by the remark that one of
the Indians was missing.
“He has gone to fetch some
water,” said Lord Roxton. “We
fitted him up with an empty beef
tin and he is off.”
“To the old camp?” I asked.
kjhroiujt
“No, to the brook. It’s among the
trees there. It can’t be more than
a couple of hundred yards. But the
beggar is certainly taking his
time."
“I'll go and look after him.” said
1 I picked up my rifle and strolled
In the direction of the brook, leav
ing my fried* to lay out the scanty
breakfast. It may seem to you
raah that even for so short a dis
tance I should quit the shelter of
our friendly thicket, but you will
remember that wa were many miles
from Ape-town, that so far as we
knew the creature* had not dis
covered our retreat, and that In
any ease with a rifle In my hands
I had ao fear of them. 1 had not
yet learned their canning or their
strength.
I could hear the murmur of our
brook somewhere ahead of me, but
thera was a tangle of trees sad
brushwood between me and it. I
was making my way through this
at a point which was just out of
sight of my companions, whan, un
der one of the trees, I noticed some
thing red huddled amoag the
bushes. As 1 auftnachod It. 1 was
shocked to aee that It was the dead
bad? of the mining Indian. He
ley upon hta side. Us limbs drawn
up, and his head screwed round
at a most unnatural angle, so that
he seemed to be looking straight
over his own shoulder. 1 gave a
cry to warn my friends that some
thing was amiss, and running for- :
wards I stooped over the body.
Surely my guardian angel was very
near me then, for some instinct of
fear, or it may have been some t
faint rustle of leaves, made me
glance upwards. Out of the thick
green foliage which hung low over
my head, two long muscular arms,
covered with reddish hair were
slowly descending. Another Instant!
and the great stealthy hands would
have been round my throat. I
sprang backwards, hut quick as 1
was. those hands weis quicker still.
Through my sudden spring they
missed a fatal grip, but one of
them caught the back of my neck
and the other one \my face. I
threw my hands up to protect my
throat, and the next moment the
huge paw had slid down my face
and closed over thetp. I was lifted
lightly from the ground, and I
felt an intolerable pressure forcing
my head back and back until the
strain upon the cervical spine was
more than I could bear. My senses
swam, but I still tore at the hand
and forced it out from my chin.
Looking up I saw a frightful face
with cold inexorable light blue eyes
looking down into mine. There was
something hypnotic In those ter
rible eyes. 1 could struggle no
longer. As the creature felt me
grow limp In his grasp, two white
canines gleamed for a moment at
each side of the vile mouth, and
the grip tightened strll more upon
my chin, forcing It always upwards'
and back. A thin, oval-tinted mist
formed before my eyes and little
silvery bells- tinkled in my ears.
Dully and far off I heard the crack
of a rifle and was feebly aware
of the shock as I was dropped to
the earth, where 1 lay without
sense or motion.
I awoke to find myself on my
back upon the grass In our lair
within the thicket. {Someone had
brought the water from the brook,
and Lord John was sprinkling my
head with it, while Challenger and
Summerlee were propping me. up.
with concern in their faces. For
a moment I had a glimpse of the
human spirits behind their scien
tific masks. It was really shock,
rather than any injury, which had
prostrated me, and In half-an-hour,
in spite of aching bead and stiff
neck, I was sitting up and ready
for anything.
“But you've had the escape of
your life, young fellah my lad.”
sgid Lord Roxton. When I heard
your cry and ran forward, and
saw your head twisted half-off and
your stohwassers kickin' In the air,
I thought we were one short I
missed the beast in my flurry, but
he dropped yon all right and was
off like a streak. By George! I
Quick at I was, those hands were
quicker etilL
wish t had fifty men with rifles.
I’d clear out thf. whole Infernal
gang of them tat leave this coun
try a bit cleaaar Am we found it.”
It wmi atMUr mv (feat the ape
men had Amm Wgf marked us
down, and That Ana vete watched
on every side. We had not so much
|» fear from them during the day,
but they would be very likely to
rush us by night; go the sooner we
got away from their neighborhood
the better. On three sides of us
was absolute forest, and there we
might find ourselves In an ambush.
But on the fourth side —that which
sloped down in the direction of
the lake, there was only low scrub,
with scattered trees and occasional
open glades. It was, in tact, the
route Which I had myself taken
in my solitary Journey, and it led
us straight for the Indian oaves.
| This then must for every reason
\ be our road.
One great regret we had, and
' that was to leave onr old camp
, behind us, not only for the sake of
, the stores which remained there.
