Yale students are getting something
Of drubbing just now becsuseof habit
which they have Of smoking their pipes
on the streets. This unfortunately Is q
practice that Is not confined to New

few crimson.ahirted youth, whose most
conspicuous adornment, apart from their
tlaring jerseys, are yellow pipes. Now,
of course, 1t is no more of crime for a
college student to smoke on the public
streets than it is for one who does not
happen TO be In that period Of tutelage.

all well-bred men are expected to OBJ
serve, and one whose time is largely
given to scholarly pursuits should GER
tainly be in finer touch with these. GEN
tlemen do not smoke on the streets.
There is no accounting for what gents"
