Ono Of the Magistrates established the
other day the long suspected fact that
tho chewing OF gum was evidence OF
standard Of morality Of an order too low
to make the chewer worthy OF trust.

profession. Some day they may earn the
right 10 be there. In the meantime they
are willing 10 pay for the privilege.

One pipe smoker says that the best way |
TO keep brarwood pipes sweet to use and
