Boo-Hoo Item: An entire chem istry class at University of Toledo was hurriedly dismissed recently when a student put some chemicals together to inadvertently make tear gas.

Indiana University students are jittery these days: There’s a local fireman who is seen frequently in student meeting places who looks exactly like the university presi dent, Herman B.

Notice how slowly it burns. That is your clue to true cigarette enjoyment— the "extras” of mildness, coolness, flavor—and — extra smoking in every cigarette. Camels burned 25% slower than any other cigarette in recent tests-(full details below). You’ll always rejoice over the day you switched to Camels! TAKING IT EASY, Engineer Bronson says: "No speed for me in my cigarette. That slower-burning feature makes sense to me. I’ve been a Camel smoker for years. I know Camels are milder and always taste swell. And—on the side—I don’t object a bit to getting those extra smokes per pack.” amels In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested —slower than any of them.
