Kissing Machine
LONDON, Ont. (/P)—Science re
ceived a setback Friday when a
machine built by ingenious medi
cal school students to measure the
intensity of kisses was banned by
sdhool authorities before its first
public appearance. »
It had been planned to try it out
a‘ a frosh dance in Port Stanley,
but students said Dean J. B. Collip
turned thumjas down on the pro
posal.
“The machine is to test the
strength of the ordicularis oris
muscle (lips to laymen)” explained
a student.
“An electrode is placed between
Mrs. John Bullock who has been
with the Wien Airlines this sum
mer left for Kotzebue where she
will be employed by Archie Fer
guson during the winter. Her hus
band, Jack Bullock will join her as
soon as the M. S. Kotzebue of
which he is skipper is put up for
the winter.
A cold blooded animal is one
whose temperature varies with its
surroundings.

the lips of the couple and the ten
sion during osculation is measured
in alpha waves a second.”
He said that if any “specialized”
type of kissing was indulged in,
the machine hoisted a red flag and
a sign saying “Tilt.”

[U. S. Fire Losses
$709,838,000 in Year
Fires, nearly all of which could
have been prevented by simple
| acts of caution, cost the nation
$54,706,000 in property loss during
June, latest month for which fig
ures are available.
This was an increase of 7.6 per
cent over June, 1947, indicating
that fire losses are still going up.
After slight decrease in April, the
upward trend was resumed in May.
June’s fire losses bring the total
for the 12-month period ending
June 30 to a record breaking $709,
839,000, the greatest destruction *
ever recorded in a 12-month peri
od in U. S. history.
For the first six months of 1948,
fire waste in the U. S . totalled
$386480,000, which exceeds by sev
eral million dollars the fire loss for
the entire year of 1943. The 1943
loss was $380,235,000.
