' Our estimate of the Cubans, It
swems, has been all wrong. Again It
bas been Impressed upon us that we
should not Judge hastily and rashly,
. And above all that appearances are
. deceitful. A couple of weeks ago we
Attended a movie show perhaps we
Should say "the" movie show and
-while there one of those news reels
'ras put on. Ordinarily they are
iairly dull and uninteresting, but not
,ao this time. For upon the silver
ereen, before our very eyes, was
flashed the picture of several Amer
' lean gentlemen, seated at little
. tables under the shade of huge
- palm trees those trees . with the
1-funny leaves and drinking drinks
., ut of little glasses that had crack
( ,sd Ice In them. We didn't hear the
see clink, but we could have sworn
' n was there.
V . The men who were seated at these
' -tables looked happy we can't say
; -why. Several of them were smiling,
nd one fleshy youth laughed right
' nt loud. Immediately after he had
' 4ralned one of those glasses. We
. : watched carefully and he made but
one swallow of U Then he smacked
i Ala lips. Nowvwe are reasonably
.young, and kuowi little of the ways
!f the world, but we have ln'our day
'frequented soda fountains, and we
.can honestly say that we never saw
. A man smack his lips over a coca-cola
k 1 .
or a lemon pnospnaie. we were
therefore forced to conclude that
these men were drinking other kinds
of liquor possibly intoxicating
liquors and worse than that, drink
ing them .as a beverage.
Now we learn that the Cubans are
not neally now addicted to strong
drink. They have It on sale, of
course, ror tne oenem oi oui-oi-iown
customers and tourists, but the
Cubans are past masters at the art
of mixing summer drinks the
non-alcoholic sort. , They are soft
drink fiends. The only reason that
they stand for the Inebriating stuff
is because It pays. And the most
decent of them are beginning to get
sick of the sort of Americans they
have to put up with. Some sad day,
the story goes, they'll adopt a pro
hibition law of their own, In .order to
have a little peace. Then the near
est drink will be twelve dayVaway,
and the bootleggers will prosper and
flourish and lucrease their bank ac
counts. .
But this sort of a tale makes us
worry: John c. Havemeyer or Hew
York or was it YonkersT has re
signed from the chamber of com
merce of his burg because his fel
low-members persist In smoking.
Actually, they smoke right during
the meetings, and his feeble coughs
don't have the least deterring effect.
Those men would rather see him
choke than lay down their weeds. So
John resigned and probably the
Yonkers chamber of commerce will
go smash on account of It. Me warn
ed them in advance, and they didn't
pay any attention to him, so he sent
in his resignation (by mall) and pro
ceeded to tell the newspapers all
about it.
There are signs that the crusade
against the liquor is not the last. By
this, do not for one minute under
stand that we are referring to the
efforts of Lucy Gaston Page, who Is
going to kill the Demon Tobacco If
God spares her and the campaign
contributions continue. The fact Is
that good old chattering Lucy is
making tobacco converts every day.
What the users of tobacco have 10
fear is traitors from their own ranks
and the profiteering tobacco trust
These high prices for cigars have
done' more to stop smoking than
Lucy Page Gaston ever did or ever
will do, and don't you forget It. '

"I attended the meeting," John's
message to tne newspapers reaa,
'and was mortified to find nearly
every one of the seventeen persons
present was smoking a cigar and the
chamber of commerce offered a cigar
to every member who was not al
ready smoking. I have on two occas
ions, I think, accepted an invitation
to dinner at which everyone smoked
freely while conferring on business
of the . Yonkers chamber of com
merce. This I do not approve of or
think proper, and on stating my
views. they were not accepted, and In
fact, a spirit of antagonism was
shown. Certainly the institution has
not even been well managed."
'So there. They refuse to be con
verted to John's views, and he gets
even by telling them they are not
managing the chamber of commerce
well. You can see the pained expres
sion on John's face when he held
open the cigar box in front of him.
JoJhn didn't know when he was well
off. We have attended meetings of
the Alliance chamber of commerce
where some of the directors were
actually so forgetful of the import
ance of their position and the strenu
ous work ahead of them that they
smoked and one or two of them
smoked, not cigars, but pipes, we
wish that John could have got within
range of one of those pipes we
think it was Guthrie's but It might
have been Rheln's and then he
would have returned to Yonkers and
blissfully faced a battery of llavanas
Our pipe is bad enough, but it seems
a weak and pitiful affair alongside
of that of the Alliance secretary's.
Elinor Glyn Is beginning to get
our goat. You will recall that Elinor
Is the lady author who conceived
that literary masterpiece "Three
Weeks," afterward followed by
'Seven Days," and both of them as
rotten as they could possibly be, con
sldering the morality of that earlier
day. Elinor did well, considering
the more or less puritanical stand
ards of the days when she was doing
her best (or worst) writing, and
thousands of high school girls shud
dered blissfully when they read of
that "beautiful, savage Paul", the
hero. '
Elinor's fount ran dry after she
had achieved those . two immortal
volumes, but because of the notority
gained, she is still hanging on. Her
latest efforts are a series of syndi
cated articles, "My Secrets of Love,"
and once in a while the illustration'
is good enough to encourage one to
read the article. A recent one is en
titled "What Hands Can Tell Us",
and it develops that she doesn't refer
to palmiBtry at all simply to tho
shapes of hands. She tells an 'un
known correspondent" about what is
revealed by . the pronunced back
turned thumb of one of her literary
heroines. , It seems this Is a sign of
unbridled extravagance, though Just
why heaven and Elinor alone know.
Elinor says she has Btudled thous
ands of hands, and we're too weak
to dispute her.
