LOSE ONE DOLLAR
TO WIN ONE KISS

Boston.-The Harvard Lam
pooh has discovered a way to
cut down the high price of kiss
ing. Smacks can be had at 81
per, if formula evolved at Har-
ward is followed. 1t is easier
than rolling off a log, and much
more pleasant, according to late
reports.
Here's the scenario, clipped
from the Harvard Lampoon:
First select girl Ia pretty
one), then bet her a dollar that
you can kiss her without touch
ing her. [This sounds impossi-
BILE and will appeal to her sport
ing blOOd.1
Next kiss her and pay the
dollar like a good loser"
Who wins?
