TEST NO. 1

Buy a tin of Three Threes, take out the cigarettes, bunch them lightly in your hand, and look carefully at the ends, noting the colour of the tobacco. You will see that the tobacco of Three Threes is a beautiful light golden colour-that unmistak- able shade which means that the tobacco has been picked at the peak of its perfection, from the finest of the crops.

THAT IS WHY THE FLAVOUR OF THREE THREES IS SO MELLOW AND SATISFYING.

Fear Of Failure Again Explains Suicide Of Undergraduate

EXPERTS SUGGEST:

1. Their Standard is too exacting. 2. Their Age is the Danger Age.

3. Universities are "Uncongenial."

Fear of failure has once again been shown to be the explanation of an undergraduato's suicide.

Fear of failure was the explanation of six similar tragedies concerning Oxford and Cambridge under- graduates during the past year.

A Cambridge inquest last month revealed that before nino- teen-year-old undergraduate Martin Giles Falk leaped to his death from a window of his apartment in King's-parade, he wrote a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. A., Falk, of Sion-walk, Clifton, Bristol. It contained this passage:--
