SCALE .7

B. Cigar and Cigarette Consumption in the United States fronfi 1801 to 1933.

That is, if a cycle two inches high is used for one scale, a cycle two inches high must be used for the other scale. It would not be possible to compare the "cigar consumption" curve in this chart with the "cigarette" curve in 341.
