"When I started 20 look for
work I was surprised to find so
many employers preiudlced against
applicants who came from foreign
stock. This seemed most short
sighted and unfair. They did not
realize that they were placing
obstacles in our path--making II
difficult for us to accomplish our
greatest ambition - the ambition
TO become worthy. loyal and help
full American citizens. After all,
we have valuable contributions 10

Before getting into the Ethics
OF Snoring we will trace the word
back through the ages. A sigh Is
a snore that has jumped its sound
track.
In the Danish. We have Snorken;
in the Swedish. 'Snarka; in the
Bsyarian. Schnarchen: in the
Tibetan. schnoozulum. and In the
Low Hottentottess We have Scar
roomaroom.
SO YOU can see that a snore
translates freely in any language.
Snoring has broken up more
marriages than any other cause
especially when the acoustics are
good in a small apartment.
When the wife snores high. shrill
and staccato like a skeleton doing
setting-up exercises on q tin roof,
and the husband Earsles like a
!f-bsiling bathtub. then we have
what the lawyers call ineompata-
bility Of tempo.
For It IS q peculiar thing about
snorers that not one will admit
that he or she snores, especially
they.
Scientists say that snoring is
caused by the vibration Of the
.uvIla against the soft palate. but
admit that It is q disease that
must run It's course like an cleo
trio rabbit.
In the Ethics Of Snoring we
should remember 1t Ia wrong TO
whistle for q embarrassing until
you are on ., train. And II you are
on q Pullman sleeper that Is one
time that one apple can spoil the
whole barrel. When you give them
both barrels that constitutes the
salute TO visiting royalty. starting
