He leaned an elbow on the scoffbar and rested a foot on the scoffrail. 'Waddle'y' have?" said the scoffbartender. "A little tea," said the scofflaw."; "If we are to scour out the scofflaws, we must first remove those particular laws at which nearly everybody scoffs."; "Within six months, with the full cooperation of police throughout the state, the scofflaw rate was down to 22 per cent."US
