Don't laugh That's what many a dlsgrnntled pupil figures out as the reason But put on your thinkin cap, Junionl What was it mother said before she sent you off on your first formal dance? Yes, that's it WTake that disgust ing wad of gum out of your mouth before you leave the house N And who was the young cutie on the bus the other day that looked at you with distaste in her eyes as your Jaws sprung up and down like a Jack in the box You thought something ailed your suit and after you got home you para FW I N So you see it isdt because at is wrong to chew gum It is perfectly all right in the right places But how do you like to sit near someone who chews Juicily and all at once snaps, and then pulls a long string of gum, about 12 inches long, out of his mouth? No,the rule wasn't made be cause of evilnes , but because it disfigures your face, and makes you look very unattractlva Be at your best and when youke all dressed up as the expression goes 'fit to killw or when you are just walking down the street keep your gums from beating to the tune ofWPop Goes The Weaselu If you don't believe this, stand before a mirror tonight and watch yourself' Also listen to yourself It won't take much straining to hear the noise' ded up in front of the longnurra' Louise Bryant Q8 in the hall and saw nothing wrong CNFPFK Ifxjlg KJ JD! Do we want a general for Pres 1dent9 This is a question Ameri can people are faced with at the present time Would he try to command us as he did the army he was placed in charge of? Well, if he did I don't believe the results would be good because American people do not en- joy being told exactly what to do This would'only end in war on the home-front, states against Pres ident. However,wouldn't a general be more experienced in governing a group mfpeople than an ordinary man? After taking charge of a whole army, he should have a good idea. O an My opinion is that a general would make a good President He has been abroad and knowsixxwhat condition the foreign countries are, He has experienced war and if we have another, he will know in more detail what to do An ordinary man only has knowledge of war by what he has read outof books like you and I. If he,be- ing a general, was liked by his soldiers then chances anahecould probably work well with Uwe the people.n A general can't help butlume more experience in the national affairs than a non-military person Who could serve better than a general for President?
