...subject-not so much through fear of hurting important advertisers' feelings as because of a traditional journalistic policy that those who do not advertise, and have no intention of advertising, are no fit subjects for publicity. There was nevertheless, a story in10? cigarets-a year ago practically unheard of, today burning up at the rate of about 60 million a day. One out of every five cigarets smoked in the U.

In Madrid last week Monsignor Federigo Tedeschini, the Papal Nuncio, was reported to be urging Pope Pius XI not to break openly with the Spanish Republic or pronounce such charges of "unheard of persecution" as His Holiness pronounced recently against the Mexican Republic (TIME, Oct. 10).

Ill., firing from 21 yd., broke 98 out of 100 last week he felt fairly confident about it. An experienced trapshooter but hitherto unfamed, he started shooting in 1912, gave it up in disgust at his inefficiency in 1917, started to shoot again four years ago. Last year he won his first big tournament, the Illinois State Handicap. Last week, after waiting for several other shooters who knew his posted score to crack when they...
...Smith, as permitted by the Roosevelt managers. During the day Illinois and Indiana had also united in the intention to switch to the governor. So the Mid-West, not Chicago, booed the Californian.
