THOSE CIGARETTE ENDORSEMENTS ! “No, no, no,” exclaimed Giovanni Martinelli, the opera star. “The pipe, the cigar, the cigarettes !” Reporters who had come to interview the famous singer hastily extinguished the three evils, when he explained that the smoke made his throat sore. “But didn’t you endorse a cigarette once ?” asked a reporter. “Si, si,” admitted the smiling tenor. “But remember what I said. I said, ‘These cigarettes never make my throat sore.’ and that is true. They never do.” “Because,” a reporter suggested, “you never smoke them ?” “Si, si,” laughed Martinelli. “I never smoke them. I never smoke! anything in my life.” Quoted in Cleveland Plain Dealer. “There is tragedy in the trend of education, for just as the country is about to create, not a leisured class, but a leisured people, the high ideal of a liberal education is giving place to a system of training youth just to work. Cultural education is looked upon as suitable only for people who never face the obligation of earning a living.”—Rev. D. J. Davies, Wellington.
