ILLUSION:
'The Oriental girl reclines on a sheet of plate
glass supported by two slaves, I he magician
. waves a white sheet in trout ot ihi: pretty
maiden ... pronounces a few magic words-...
Presto! fehe has disappeared in thin air.
EXPLANATION:
' Disappearing ' acts arc among the nwt popu
lar in the repertory of the magician. Dogs,
horses, girls, whole rooms disappear whisked
into wings, dropped through trapdoors, hidden
by mirrors. J5ut this "disappearance is a hit
different.One of the "slaves is a hnlhsiv dummy.
When the magician holds up the sheet the lithe
little ladv disappears completely into the con
venient figure of the dummy.

There is also a trick of cigarette adver
tising, whereby a few magic words are
used to create the illusion of "Coolness."
EXPLANATION: Coolness is determined
by tltc speed of burning. Fresh cigarettes,
retaining their full moisture, burn more
slowly ...smoke cooler. Pa relied, dry ciga
rettes burn fast. 'I bey taste hot.'l his makes
tiic method of wrapping very important.
CjrltUt, It J lit -fn 1 e m iHJ" , . 127
" " : . :4.? u.v,-,'.i'-- it ip-
Improperly wrapped cigarettes begin to
dry out as soon as packed.
Camels are cooler because they come
in the famous Humidor l'ack of welded,
three-ply,.-MOISTURE-PROOF, cello
phane . . . and because they contain better
tobaccos.
A cigarette that is fresh, full of natural
moisture, 'and blended from choice, npo
tobaccos tastes cooler than-. one that is
harsh and acrid. For coolness, chunvj
a fresh cigarette, .made from cosi-ltcr
tobaccos.
It Is a fact, well known by
leaf tobacco experts, vnct
Camels are made from finer,
MORE EXPENSIVE tobacco', '.-tin
any other popular brend.
Try Camels . . . ivo your taste y i
to sense the difference. You il
