ATE HIS HAT
TEACHER PAYS PENALTY. Mr Harold Burum is a man of his word. A teacher of journalism at Santa Maria High School in California,, he startled his pupils the other day by offering to eat his hat if they ever got the school paper out on time. The students thought this was too good an opportunity to miss. They made a mighty effort and, for the first time on record, had the paper out on time.
Then they called on Mr Burum. He had his straw hat ready, and before their eyes he broke it in little pieces, mixed liquid with it, spread the mixture between bread, and ate it as a sandwich.
