Cigaret Lighter Is Object Of Suspicion
St. Joseph, Mo. — (UP) — Lee Carr of Atlanta, Ga., today regarded his cigarette lighter with deserved suspicion.
He filled the lighter in a local drugstore, climbed into his new motor car and started to light a cigaret.
The lighter burst into flames. Mr. Carr attempted to throw it out the window. It bounced into the back seat.
A bystander, taking it all in. rushed to a store and obtained a bucket of water.
In his anxiety to put out the fire, he banged the bucket against the car door.
The emergency fireman extinguished the flames, but he left quite a dent in the new motor car.
Mr. Carr, incidentally, is a salesman for a fire extinguisher company of Atlanta.

Dates Here To Stay, Boys, Regardless Of High Prices

K. U. students don't seem to take their dating seriously.
A wandering reporter, asking irrelevant questions, found three men who thought the cost of dating was going up and two who thought it was going down. Two believed it was the same and one fella "just didn't care."
"I don't think dutch dating is the thing for casual relationship."
Bruce Goshorn, education senior, said, "I believe the cost of dating has gone up. Shows, food, dancing costs have increased in price. While the cost has gone up, the returns are the same.
"Dutch" dating found generally favor with the eight men, although one admitted he "didn't date Dutch girls much." Most of those interviewed said the cost and desirability of dating "dutch" depended on the type of date. This could mean the type of girl or the type of activity. The reporter could not find out.
Otis Hill, business junior, said,
"I think dates are less expensive than last year. Parties are not as lavish. The shows seem to fill up quite a lot. I'm in favor of dutch dating.
"I'm waiting anxiously for the Jay Jane vise-versa dance next spring." Patrick Thiessen, first year law student, commented, "I'm pinned. I have nothing to say."
Howard Wilson, College senior,
said, "Dating costs have remained
the same as nearly as I can tell.
Some aspects have gone up, and
others down.
"I think dutch dating is mighty fine."
William Conboy, College senior,
said, "i think costs are going down.
Last year prices were so high people
found other things to do and were
not spending so much money.
"I don't think dutch dating should be a general policy unless you know the girl well. It would be fun then
-both would get a kick out of it."
Daniel Clinger, education junior,
said, "I think costs have gone up in
the past two years. However, this
year seems the same as last year.
"I think dutch dating is a good idea but there are few people kind enough to see that side, I expect to pay."
"Dutch dating would be easier on the pocket book. I don't think it will go over very well here."
Thomas Mahan, business junior,
said, "I've become a little more
liberal with my money, but I don't
think prices have gone up.
James Drewelow, engineering junior, said, "Inflation has hit the cost of dating. I don't know about dutch dating.
"I don't date Dutch girls myself. It seems to me the date should pay part of the night's entertainment."
