Stripper Offers Bras and Panties To College Boys New York U.R) Any more of you college boys looking for panties and brassieres? Get in touch with Miss Lili St. Cyr of 65 West 52nd Street, New York city. She's an expert in taking off clothes, having made a career of it in night clubs from coast to coast. Would Give Panliet Now Miss St. Cyr is working on a project to part with a por tion of her panties and bra sup ply to each of the colleges where the men students have pursued co-ed lingerie in dormitory raids. "I think they should get a sort of reward," the blonde origi nator of the reverse strip said gently. "It is such a nice sign when men show an aggressive in terest in a girl." She explained apologetically that, "I never wear black lace panties," and chided college of ficials for taking the panty pranks too seriously. "I didn't go to college my self," Lili explained. "But you learn things in my work that those professors don't know. Its really not the panties, you know. The boys just want to show how strong and brave they are. It's a way of getting attention from the girls, too. And you really shouldn't discourage a young boy about things like that." Federal, state and local taxes, plus interest charges and insurance costs, play a big part in the price of every new car the first year but you'll find there's far less to pay the Henry J way!

Dance School Sued By Ired Customer Portland (U.R) Mrs. Er ma E. Commons, Albany, Ore., filed suit in circuit court here Monday asking $10,000 punitive damages from the Arthur Mur ray School of Dancing and its Portland operators. Mrs. Commons charged in her complaint that the firm repre sented falsely It could improve her personality and better her ability to obtain a position, as well as teach her to dance. She said the dance school in duced her to pay $628 last No vember and to sign an agree ment to pay an additional $600 for a course in dancing. She asked that the $628 be re turned to her, the agreement to pay $600 be declared invalid and that she be awarded $10, 000 as punitive damages. It's cutting down instead of increasing revenue. The apparent reason is that many persons have turned to beer or wine or to bootleg gers rather than buy whisky at the higher prices. Figured Wrong The government figured that consumption of legal whisky wrould drop when the tax on distilled spirits was raised from $9 to S10.50 a gallon last Novem ber. But it thought the higher tax would just about offset the smaller consumption. The Bureau of Internal Reve nue had estimated that consump tion would fall from 194,000,000 in fiscal 1951 to 169,000,000 gal lons in this fiscal year. At the same time, it figured that the liquor tax would yield $1,683, 000,000, compared with actual collections of $1,746,005,581 in fiscal 1951. Revenue To Be Short From present indications, how ever, the bureau is going to be about $150,000,000 short on its estimate of whisky revenue. The higher tax has not only put a crimp in federal income but has also cut heavily into the revenues of the 46 states and the District of Columbia where the sale of whisky is legal. The states did not raise their taxes aver aging $1.66 a gallon when the federal government boosted Its excise tax last November. The reduced sales are beginning to hurt them even more. The higher tax also has had its repercussions In the whisky in dustry, which has been thrown into a slump as a result of bulg ing warehouse supplies and con sumer resistance to higher prices.

Mar JO, list MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Miss Chadwick Plans Four Endurance Swims New York (U.R) Florence, Chadwick hopes to set an awe- inspiring swimming record this summer with four major endur ance swims, then retire from competition. Not content with being the only woman ever to swim the English Channel both ways, the former secretary wants to make a "grand slam" before she retires at 33. Plans Lilted As she talked about her plans in her two-room hotel apartment, Florence held out a carefully typed iheet of paper listing the planned swims. She wants to swim the 21 miles from Catalina Island to the California mainland, attempting to break the record of 15 hours, 40 minutes set by a man 25 years ago. From there she would head for the Dardanelles to swim the leg endary waters of the Hellespont. By July 15th she hopes to be swimming the Straits of Gibral tar, a 14 - mile shark - infested stretch of water which has been PUTS HER FOOT IN IT Benzonia, Mich.

Just keep these simple points in mind when you make telephone calls: When you have a series of calls to make, allow a few minutes between them Make sure the line is clear before you call Replace the receiver properly in its cradle after calling. These suggestions will mean still better party-line service for you, too. For if you make them a habit, you'll find that they give people a better chance to call you.

She was the first woman to make the England - to France crossing last summer. "But I want to try to break the men's record," she explained. "I could have done it last year if I hadn't been sick from the boat fumes. The swimmer, who admitted she weights 152 pounds now, the heaviest of her career in prepa ration for the gruelling four swims, has been training since January for a final season. Wants All-Tim Record "I'm 33 now, and you can't go on swimming forever," she said. "This will be my last season. I don't want to be known as a stunt girl, but I'd just like to es tablish an all-time women's sports record before I quit. To me that's what makes sports go around accepting challenges."
