1t is the cranks that make for progress
in this world, not those satisfied with their
lot. If it was not for US cranks and our
kicking the race would still be as its ances-
tors were in the dark ages.
We cranks are kicking against the
Americans liberation of ineficiency, greed,
reckless exploitation of man and beast,
rudeness, injustice, graft, vice and corrup-
ton, as DR.. Held says, and in time our eff
forts will make it better place to live in
and we will do it without the aid of those

they may be good looking and may dress
well, if they have that awful habit of gum
chewing there is not one gentleman out of
five hundred who will take one of them for
a wife unless he is habitual gum chewer

Why is it that women persist in gum
chewing in public when it is, as we all
know, a vulgar habit? If one must chew
gum for indigestion one should do so in
the privacy of ones room at home.
