A New Contribution. Three-year-old Louise ran home f r o m Sunday school
in great excitement. "Mother," she cried, "the teacher told us about some

"You bet I did."
"That is just like my brave little son," said the mother fondly. " W h o was
the good little boy?"
"Me!"

EFFECTS OF MILITARY TRAINING, NO DOUBT

At a college f o r women concert, a coed whose voice had been developed
instead o f cultivated, sang a song whose r e f r a i n was, " D o you think he w i l l
miss me?"

A senior f r o m the men's Glee Club sat through two refrains politely, but
when she shrieked for the t h i r d time, " D o you think he w i l l miss me?" he got
