mo, they appease their appetite by
chewing" Mr.. Gadd INTERCEPTED.
THE habit is expensive" Mr.. Allison
declared.
1T does not cost the school board any
thing" Mr.. Crippin replied.
Throughout Mr. Allisons Grafton Mrs
Julia Belle Tutewiler, the only woman on
the board, looked on with an amused
smile and seemed unconcerned as to what
action the board took
Finally Mr. Gadd said "WelI if Mr.
Allison objects to smoking I am sure
none Of us want to hurt his feelings in
the matter SO we will stop" Thus the
great tobacco crusade came to an end
and a school board custom brought down
from time immemoriaI was abruptly
abolished. After the meeting one member
said laughingly:
at was the first great victory of the
Anti Tobacco League in Indiana"
