CRIME OF SPLITTING
IN PUBLIC PLACES
CDR. NJ. S. CroswelD

Recently a lady was talking with
me and asked me If some day I
would not write a little concerning
eXcusable habit of promiscuous
splitting which is getting to be a ma
tional ear mark.
Indeed some wit has described the
American as IAN animal who eats
toothpicks, chews gum. and eXpec-
torates over everything in sight"
The word picture is indeed fairly
accurate of us as a people, and we
are about the only nation who so Of
tends, although reports state that
one of the far-flung results of this
great war is the introduction Of the
toothpick and gum habit into France
by our soldiers. The Army, | am
glad to say is seriously considering
ways to combat the hit or miss spit
ting habit and it is highly probable
that before long the soldier who
spits in public places will be penal
ICED for violation Of Army regula-
tons.
The following clipping under the
date of April 4, 1913, gives the prob
lem as applied to the Army. All that
applies there is equally as true in
civilian life and even more urgent as
the average citizen works. plays,
eats and sleeps in infinitely less
hygienic surroundings and has a
lower personal resistive power than
is true of the men in concentration
or base camps:

way-through the transfer Of nasal
and mouth secretions. The sickness
