RATTLESNAKE HEARD FROM j Jacksonville, Fla., 'June 23.?Patrolman "Al" Wadsworth, known as one of the most "nervy" members' of the local police department, might' be charged with cowardice because f his failure yesterday to carry out j certain instructions but he doesn't j believe the allegation would holdj ivater. Wadsworth was sent to a warehouse in the wholesale district to kill a rattlesnake in the basement, j The patrolman spent half an hour| prodding in dark corners with a long; Stick while the diamond back slid j here and there, pausing at times to kick up a fuss with its rattles.

WHO USES THO MATCH? The Smoker Mainly?Alio Responsible for Spending Hundreds of Millions Annually for Licorice, Sugar, Coal, Cigar Boxes, Tin Foil, Etc. > By GARRET SMITH "Got a match?" How many times a day Is that question asked In those United States? How many more times Is the question unnecessary because most pockets ar;kept well supplied with the useful little article? Anyhow, inasmuch ns it Is estimated that there arefJO.OOO.OOO tobacco usera In 1he country, we would Ruejss that the answer to that Question would run Into the hundreds of millions. * For If it weren't for the smoker* In fht*e duy? of electric lights how many matches would be used7 A pretty small proportion of the number of these "sticks of blazes*' produced In the country every year. Abolish tobacco and the match business would b* shot to pieces. Rut the march business is only one of a dozen <>r more allied Industries which derive large revenues directly or inuirecuy Lroiii uie luunau uauc uuu would suffer heavily If national prohibition of tobacco were to go into effect as some of our reformers would have It. The annual sales of tobacco products, based on retail prices, is estimated at $1,9H7,000,000. Of the cost of producing and selling this quantity of cigars, cigarettes and other forms of the wood, some hundreds of million dollars are paid out for other things than the raw tobacco and labor of making it up. $25,000,000 a Year for Boxefc For example, ihe tobacco trade consumes each year -tn.OOO.OOO pounds of licorice, 50,000,000 pounds of sugar, both used in tiavorlng tobacco, and 050,000 tons of coal, it Is estimated that the value of vrooden cigar boxes used Is $I!5.000,000 a year, quite an Jt^m to the lumber business and to) manufacturers of the boxes. In making these- boxes 550.000 j pounds of nails are employed. Other) large items used in making and pre- > paring tobacco for sale are tin and lead foil, paper for bags and cigarette wrappers, cloth for tobacco bags, la-: bcls, coupous, etc., involving the print-1 ing trade exfensivcly. ? - ?j Then building contractors and manu-1 facturers of machinery are largely infAfnof/i/l InvAcfmonto In nlftnta and I ... , machinery employed in- manufactor-1 ing tobacco are gstimated at $102,000,-1 (KH>. Replacement, np-keep and Interest on the investment make uo small sum annually. And let realty men note there are approximately 32T>.000 tobacco farms in the country, with a total estimated valuation of $160,000,000. Of further interest to real estate men is the fact that there are 700,000 retail establishments selling tobacco, involving a total rental and up-keep Impossible to estimate, besides the large amount of office sjJace occupied by administrative branches of the general business. The insurance men, too, have their hi.are of the pickings. The tobacco bus'ness pays out annually $7,000,000 In premiums in the United States. And there are the railroads who reap revenue from 2,210,000 tons of tobacco products every year. As tor the advertising business, here again It is impossible to forni nnv estimate of the enormous annual , outlay. The prohibition of tobacco-would also knock a good-sized hole In the receipts of the United States government. The Internal revenue receipts from tobacco for tn'e fiscal year 1920 amounted to $295,809,355.44. Customs duties provided an additional $25,000,000 Ir. round figures, making the total revenue return to the government $320,000,000. Influence en Popular Sentiment It is this interlocking of the tobacco hus'ness with so many other Interests and the vast amount of financial low that would be Involved In the abolition of tobacco that is one of the most serious aspects of the proposal to pro hibit the sale of tobacco, a proposal however, which has little support b> public sentiment if the newspaper efii tors of the country are correct In their estimate of that sentiment. In a poll of the editors made recently I vj mv ivuuau iuciLimuis Assuuuiuni of the United State??, through the Pre?a Scrvice^Company of New York Oitv. 95 per cent of the 7,847 editors vh<> replied expressed the opinion that vh?? people of their communities were opposed to any law against tobacco. A# these editors represent some 80,000,000 readers the results form n pretty gen ernl test of national opinion. In their remarks accompanying their replies many of the editors expressed It as their opinion that the oppos'tior of their communities to the abolition of tobaoco was based to some extent ;i* least on the damage such a change would do to the business Interests of the community. This was particularly true in tne tonaceo growing srates anu centers where there were large tohaeco nln^ts.
