One of the most significant
years ago with the introduction
Of the first true petroleum-
based synthetic fiber-nylon.
Since then, several so-called
miracle or test-tube fibers have
gone on the market and the
original enthusiasm over their
applications shows no sign of
waning. Indeed, the interest, as
shown by intensified research
and development of synthetics,
appears to be growing fast.
Progress in oil-based syn-
thetics has been so rapid that
compilers of dictionaries have
been unable to keep pace with
new trade names when revising
their editions. This spectacular

First of all. Steam is gay on

she was given the unique job of

the public is all wrong about
cigars. She wants to remedy
this situation.
What is the truth? "Weil, for

In glamorizing cigars, Steam
found the common belief that
only fat politicians and thin
racketeers smoke cigars to be
another falsehood. The Medalist
Ggar council survey reveals that
today cigar smoking is a popular
pasttime with young executives;
college youths; members of the
armed forces and the entertain-
ment world.
It is also Steam's job to sec
that cigar smokers are not de-
picted as uncouth people on
stage, screen and television.
Should such a thing occur, the
producers soon get a letter “*

to the cigar. For instance, cig-
ars range in size and shape. The
perfecto, which is a rather short,
full cigar, is the most popular
for it suits the average face. For
the younger man, who is fash-
ion conscious, the straight slim
panatela is recommended. For
the larger man, the robust coro-
na is perfect.
Psychological researchers have
also done a lot to make people
cigar fans. They found, for in-
stance, that cigar smokers are
less nervous than cigaret users.
The former smoke in a leisurely
manner and don't indulge in
chain smoking.
Consequently, researchers say,

more approachable about a new

likely to explode when told about
junior’s latest escapade with the
car.
One survey came up with the
fact that cigar smokers never
beat their wives. Stearn believes
this is carrying scientific re-
search too far.
Cigars also are considered
more masculine than cigarets.
That is because today as many
women as men are cigaret users,
whereas the cigar smoking habit
is still an almost purely mascu-
line one.
Last year 35 per cent of cig-
