Women cigarette smokers and antl-clgarette smokers are expected to appear in force tomorrow morning before the House District committee to argue the question whether or not My Lady and My Lady Nicotine are fit companions.

Oa It oil Tfcelr Ow?. In addition. Mr. Focht announced that the ladjes are at liberty tc bring their own pet brands ol cigarettes, cigars or other smoking paraphernalia in the event th< stock supplied by the dealers is not complete. The occasion for the smoke-fesl is a bill introduced by Representative Johnson of Mississippi, to prohibit women smokng in public. It is whispered that Johnson has his eye on the governorship of lfli native Stif and that he is depending upon his success in stopping women from smoking outside their own boudoirs to furnish spirit and zest to his campaign. Be that as it may, his insistence for a hearing on his bill was sc strenuous that the District Committee was prompted to postpone for another week hearings scheduled on the all-important railway merger legislation.
