A New Racket How Cabbies Take You for a Ride Under the hypocritical guise of patriotism, gasoline con servation and share-the-ride, Portland’s taxi drivers have worked out a honey of a new racket. We confess we don’t often take a cab, but this past week end we had the occasion. It was impossible to hire a cab alone—the driver insisted on taking three other passengers (share the ride, patriots, conserve gasoline). Well, that was all right; we \yere willing. The cab didn’t go directly to our destination but made another stop first, one not on our direct route. At this stop the meter read 40c' i\vo passengers <AA« XI alltf the driver collected 40c from each. Olnally getting the remaining passenger and ourself to “Vicious enemy propaganda. Beagle.

Leg Art: Does It Help Round Us Out? What about leg art, glamour pictures and sex shots in general in an Army paper? An AF release out of Washington last week said th«' War Depart ment suggests that Aimy editors henceforth eliminate the so-calle«i glamour pictures, largely for the simple Cif Sufficient 1 reason that civilian periodicals of all kinds treat with the subject to such a fare-yuv-well that Army papers cannot hope to compete with them. So. why bother? On the other haml the GI Galley, which is published for Army editoi. by the Camp Newspaper Service, has until the last reading been heavily in favor of using that ol' stuff and plenty of it within news pages. The premise is based on the fact that: "A recent'poll of Army editors show«*«! that soldiers were tlemanding more ‘leg art'." It is our personal observation that some of our contemporaries have overdone the glamour picture angles, and that some, including ourselves (if we must admit it), have tended to uuder-do it. It is doubtless true that “glamour-puss” magazines can beat us to the punch. But there are a healthy number of Gls in this esmp. it appears, who depend upon the Sentry for the bulk of the periodical rei sdo they have time to handle during th«' week. We feel, therefore. I that g reasonable amount of leg art and glamour tends to.round us out. What’s YOUR verdict? The World This Week VCHANGE ^CERPTS used together produce a flavor called “mocha?” Q.
