Tornadoes Batter Kansas, Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) —
Fierce parts of what weathermen called the worst barrage of tornadoes this year battered sections of Kansas and Missouri yesterday and last night. There were no injuries.
Tornadoes struck at Elmo in extreme northwest Missouri and in suburban Kansas City, Kan. Elsewhere in Kansas and Missouri, high winds uprooted trees, blew roofs off, tore power lines down. The roof of a theater was blown off at St Joseph, Mo.
Other wind damage was reported at Wichita, Park City, Hesston, Newton, Emporia, and Valley Center.
Gusts reached 70 miles an hour at some areas and many communities were pounded by hail and heavy rains. Kingman reported 1.21 inches of rain and hail the size of marbles.
The Kansas City, Kan., tornado lashed at the suburban area of North 2nd Terrace in Wyandotte County. Three homes were damaged and a small barn was destroyed. A pony in the barn was saved.
At Emporia, the side walls of a bowling alley under construction were blown over, leaving the back wall standing. Trees and power lines were down at Emporia as they were at numerous other communities.
Baldwin reported severe wind, heavy rain and hail, but no damage.
Hesston got 1.07 inches of rain, Council Grove reported 1.50 inches and Burdick had 1.22 inches.
A staff physician at Watkins Hospital reports that Jerome Brewer, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, who was burned in an explosion at the Mud Hut Friday, is "just fine, resting well, and in no pain."
KU Blast Victim 'Just Fine'
Brewer was injured when some equipment he was using in an experiment blew up. The experiment, being conducted in the southwest corner of the building that houses the KU radio station, involved low temperature phase behavior of hydro-carbons and hydrogen sulfide.
J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering, said that the explosion was caused by "too much liquid in one of the reservoirs which caused an excess of pressure that ruptured the flask. This discharged the hydro-carbon mixture into the air, where it caught fire."

SCHULTZ IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING
Beppo Schultz, boulevardier, raconteur, connoisseur, sportsman, bon vivant, hail fellow well met—in short, typical American college man—smokes today's new Marlboros.
"I smoke today's new Marlboros," replied Beppo, looking up from his 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead cam-shaft British sports car. "because they are new."
"Why do you smoke today's new Marlboros, hey?" a friend recently asked Beppo Schultz.
"New?" said the friend. "What do you mean—new?"
"I mean the flavor's great, the filter's improved, the cigarette is designed for today's easier, brecier living," said Beppo.
"Like this 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead camshaft British sports car?" asked the friend.
insist British sports can 'asked the audience "Exactly," said Bope.
"She's a beauty," said the friend, looking admiringly at the car. "How long have you bad her?"
"It's a male," said Beppo.
"Sorry," said the friend. "How long have you had him?" "About a year," said Benno.
"Oh, have I not!" cried Beppo. "I have replaced the pushrods with a Roots type supercharger. I have replaced the torque with a synchromesh. I have replaced the tachometer with a double side drift carburator."
"Have you done a lot of work on him?" asked the friend.
"Gracious!" exclaimed the friend.
"Land o' Goshen!" exclaimed the friend.
"I have replaced the hood with a bonnet," said Beppo.
"He a male," said Berpo.
"My, you have been the busy one," said the friend. "You must be exhausted."
"Maybe a trifle," said Beppo, with a brave little smile.
"Know what I do when I'm tired?" said the friend.
"Light a Marlboro?" ventured Beppo.
"Oh, pshaw, you guessed!" said the friend, pouting.
"But it was easy," said Beppo, chuckling kindlily. "When the eyelids droop and the musculature sags and the psyche is depleted, what is more natural than to perk up with today's new Marlboro?"
"A great new smoke with better 'makin's and a great new filter!" proclaimed the friend, his young eyes glistening.
"Changed to keep pace with today's changing world!" declared Beppo, whirling his arms in concentric circles. "A cigarette for a sunnier age, an age of greater leisure and more beckoning horizons!"
Now, tired but happy, Beppo and his friend lit Marboros and smoked for a time in deep, silent contentment. At length the friend spoke, "He certainly is a beauty." he said.
"Yes," said the friend. "How fast will he go?"
"You mean my 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead camshaft British sports car?" asked Beppo.
"Well, I don't rightly know," said Beppo. "I can't find the starter." © 1959 Max Shultman
If you're sticking with the good old non-filter cigarette, you can't do better than Philip Morris—a mild, rich, tasty smoke, made by the people who make Marlboros.
