Psychology of Broken Jaws.

but you would be astonishcd TO see
the broken jaws which are presented
ut free institutions on holidays-elec-

Fourth of July. \ great number of
fractured Jaws are the result Of quar-

surprises me that the number of bro
ken jaws IS not on the increase on nc
count of the heated newspaper discus

on various topics of the day. 1t has
been said that We're it not for the

not for the mouth there would be no
