Man-eating and boy-eating sharks are
too numerous to mention but it is worth
while to call attention to one right now.
Seductive cigarette ads are filing the
pages of newspapers that don't care.
They satisfy. They satisfy" is the
persuasive cry accompanying the pictorial
allurement.
In other words, come on in boys, the
cigarette plunging is fine. There is sem
suous languor and sweet content in this
summer sea of indulgence.
And once in, the Shark gets them.
They are fortunate if it is no more than
an arm or leg that they lose, to leave
them crippled in the race of life.
Often they are consumed, body and
soul, by this insidious monster.
