No sooner had he closed the door softly but firmly on the scene of wreckage than Mir. Randolph turned all his attention to the lady in his arms.

 Even such a kiss as Is under re- view has an end as we'll as a begin ming, and just as this one finished its too brief but crowded span of life came the honk three times repeated of a motor horn, as though the world at large had availed itself of that means to cap the shameless osculation with three exclamation points.

University Of Michigan Professor 9th

After Heavy Rainstorm.

Reports from Lexington, ky that
hundreds Of angle worms from two

during ralnsiorm there. were de-
olared to he inaccurate by Professor
Peter OkkeGberg OF The faculty of the

The WORMS probably crawled up

lure of the rain. according TO Professor
Okkelberg. Cases have been known,
however according to the professor,
in which cyclones or tornadoes have
created such a suction in the air that
worms and FISH have been picked up
from ponds and lakes and dropped a
considerable distance away.
According to the Lexington story
the worms were incuhated by the warm
winds from the moisture In the mir
while being waited in clouds. This
is an impossible assumption, according
