BOYS—Guns
Anyone who has been around small;
boys knows what a machine gun
sounds like. I don’t know’ how to ,
make that sound, or how to spell it,'
but there isn’t a boy of five years
old or more who doesn’t spend at
last part of each day imitating a
machine gun, or an ack-ack gun. as 1
he "mows down” his friends, his cats
and his dogs.
Warfare, patterned after t h e f
sketchy knowledge which small boys;
j have of what is going on in Europe
and the Pacific today, has become 1
the schoolboy’s favorite game. Dig-
j ging foxholes has taken the place of
biulding huts, shooting toy guns is
i considered more fun than throwing
balls and “dive-bombing” anything
in sight is a thrilling pastime.
Even before he is old enough to
read the newspapers, a boy of today
gets a thorough education in warfare.
