A medical theory is that kissing shortens life. Single life, presumably. ■ * * * A writer says that some dentists are real humorists. Yet few people appreciate their gags. * * * “Should golf be called goff?” asks a contemporary. There are times when it can be called neither. « * * A dentist says that champagne ruins teeth. But the best people don’t bite the wire to release the cork. * * * “The spread of the tobacco habit has opened up new fields of trade,” states a trade journal. Trade follows the fag, evidently. * * * Teleplasma is said to be a substance thinner than spider’s web. Critics of modern feminine bathing costumes should realise that things might be worse. * * * A that knives in Auckland restaurants are often very blunt. But it is unkind to suggest that this is because green peas are in seaA writer says that since prohibition, a new spirit has come over America.

Doubtless the police in their official report referred to Its as “some blunt instrument.” * * * A Continental engineer has invented a motor tyre which blows itself up. But there is still no improvement on the old method of applying artificial respiration to the deflated pedestrian.
