Development of trade and commerce with south American and Central Amer ica, is showing encouraging signs as the regulations with Latin-America are being strengthened. Government- of flclals'who take a broad view- of the subject assert that It Is less important" to work up trade now, when fcatln-Amerlca'lsBhut off from much of Europe, than to lay the foundations for trading In competition with the world after the war is over, especially as Japan Is reaching out for Latin American trade. Federal Activity. In addition to the work being engineer ed by Secretary of the Treasury Mc- Adoo. the agents of the Department of Commerce are bestirlng themselves. The Pan-American Union is also busy. Many private houses are giving- more Intelligent and persistent attention to Latin-American business than ever be fore. A few great American banking houses are turning their eyes to ths Latin-American field. The big Chica go packing houses have for some lme had a strojig hold In South Amer ica. The Pan-American Union Is doing what It can to promote excursions of business men to South America. No less than Ave parties of American manufacturers and exporters are ex pected to go to South America In the next few months. Two will go to tho western coast of the continent. Three will go to the eastern coast. Needs of Situation. Buch excursions. It is pointed out by Latin-American representatives here, tend to give a better under standing of Latin-American countries. But thoy cannot be expected to ac complish the big- task of putting closo relations between the United States and Latin-America on a stable basis. What Is needed, they say, is organlza: tion, sending of responsible repre sentatives to Latin-America, to learn the language and settle down, estab lishment of a credit system and, such a conduct of business as will harmon ise more fully with the notions of the Latin Americans whose business ways are not the ways of the United States. The Administration, In urging the establishment of a Government-owned merchant marine, will lay special tress on the need for developing Lat in-American Duainess ana putting mat business on such a foundation that It will stand the strain of competition, once that competition is on in full force after the European war.

Get all the smoke-pleasure you pay for: Find the right cigarette a SENSIBLE one that fits your own likes and dislikes. It may or may Tastes differ in fashions, foods and pretty girls. Also in cigarettes. A cigarette that started out to please every man's taste would end up by pleasing none. Most of us like our cigarette smoke deliciously cool and refreshing. The Mexican likes his hot and dry, with a nice little peppery sting in it. Some men like a cigarette wholesomely, fragrantly mild. Others of us hunt for a cigarette almost as heavy as a black cigar. Most of us want an "easy" cigarette a SENSIBLE one, so that no matter how steadily or how many we smoke, we'll feel as fit as a fiddle. Other men, though, don't care about that. They smoke only a few so they want a kick like a mule's in each puff. All of us want our smoke "full-bodied" it must satisfy that smoke-hunger. But the cigarette that just fills the bill for you may not do at all for your next-door neighbor. Somewhere among all the brands on tlie market is the one just-right cigarette for YOU I Maybe it's the very one you have now in your pocket but arc you SURE ? Maybe it's some entirely "different" cigarette it may or may not be Fatima, But "find it!" Until you do, you're cheating your self out of a whole lot of smoke-pleasure. Also you're wasting some money. How to Find "yours" To avoid blindly trying too many different cigarettes, ask yourself, first of all, this question : "Just what do I like in a cigarette ? " If you smoke only a few every day, you may prefer a cigarette which is rather rich or heavy and "oily." Or you may like one which has a rather strong "oriental" taste with a pungency almost like perfume. Or you may want a cigarette with that noticeably "sweetish" Egyptian but this will help you find it flavor. But if you smoke quite often if you would like to smoke whenever you feel like it and without any effect on the tongue or throat or any fear of a heavy or "heady" feeling afterwards then you should choose some cigarette such as Fatima, a cigarette composed of all-pure tobaccos of considerable aroma, mellowed by being aged and care fully blended to produce a fragrant and wholesomely mild, yet ' 'full-bodied, ' ' smoke. And the smoke must be notice ably COOL. For otherwise your tongue or your throat will soon signal you to stop smoking so often. If you will ask any Fatima smoker, he will tell yoa that Fatimas never make him 'feel mean" no matter how many he smokes. That is why Fatimas are considered the most sensible cigarette by such a large majority of smokers. And that is probably the main reason why hardly any Fatima smokers ever switch! They like a sensible cigarette. and one with a good, pure taste to it. But the Taste is up to Yoa All cigarettes are pure, but when it comes to the taste, nobody can help you choose. You simply have to decide for yourself. Of course, Fatima's taste may not appeal to you. But most men who try Fatimas like the taste so well that they seek no further otherwise Fatimas could never have icon and held their enormous ar?d growing leadership amounting to over one and a half BILLION cigarettes a year. k The one purpose of this advertisement is to ask you in a fair and square way to give Fatimas (20 for 16c) a good trial. If they don't happen to suit your taste, you'll quit smoking them of course. But if you like Fatimas as well as MOST men do, you'll be mighty glad you read this advertisement and ACTED ON IT 1 Below are two simple tests which you can easily make and which may help you find your sensible cigarette. It may or may not be Fatima. But be fair to vnnrvlf 3 - J tf II anu una .. ii yuurs. 10ttO ?SraBwSa Laiwest cigarette manufacturer in theU. S.
