Big ''Doins At Irvine"

One of the qualities of automo-
biles which the manufactures
have as yet failed to make the
most of, is illustrated in a love
tragedy, which is now being en-
acted in the little city of Irvine.
1t appears, from the news columns
of the Irvine Sun, that a young
man from "Indiany," who pos
sesses a naughtymobile and per-
haps a handsome pompadour,
fraternity pin and winning ways,
is making collection of Estill
county hearts large enough to de-
corate a house for Christmas time.
The Sun reports that several June
weddings have been already put
on the blink, and some of the de-
iected SWANS have even tried to
buy up all the gasoline in the city.
It may not be long until the
manufactures of these deadly in
struments will advertise like this:
BE a heart smaSher, own an
automobile and have, lots of fun
with the girls. Success guaran-
teed. Instructions with each
car But in the language of

vice to the smitten nnaidens of
