BAN ON KISSING IN ATLANTA
I TSpecial to The Sentinel.1


Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 30.-Kissing is
under the ban in Atlanta. It's un-
healthy and embarrassing to those
not taking part in the exercises. A
few months ago they convicted and
fined a travelling man who kissed his
wife on the street as he arrived home
from a trip. The judge announced
that there was nothing personal in
the case. that he would have been
fined just the same had he kissed
someone else's wife.
And now they have called out the
police and the electric light company
to put stop to reckless osculation in
the public parks. The electric light
company is to erect lights every now
and then in the parks. so that the
kissing squad may catch and arrest
the awful violators of the law. Peo-
pie who live near the parks say that
they are driven from their verandas
every pleasant night by the whole
sale love making under their very
noses. So the word has gone forth.
No kissing goes.

MISSOURI VALLEY
IN THE DEBATEA DENlSON LAST FRIDAY
EVENING MISSOURI VALLEY TEAM WINS.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE WINS.
Decision That Denison Did Not Prove That
All Corporations Doing Interstate Business
Should not be Under Federal Control.

The long anticipated debate be-
tween picked teams from the Missouri
Valley and Denison High schools, took
place at Denison on Friday night,
Jan. 8. The team from our neigh.
boring town had been at work for
some four months, we hear, on this de-
bate. but it was only just before the
holidays that the Denison contestants
knew they were to have the question
under consideration which turned out
to be, as follows: Resolved; That
the Federal Government should have
exclusive control of all corporations
doing interstate business, constitution
ality granted"
1t required considerable hustling
for the High School boys who had
never given thought to such a ques-
tion to put up on short notice a
thorough and comprehensive argu-
ment against such a proposition.
This was particularly 80 when the
whole trend of the public mind is
toward corporation control, President
Roosevelt and his corporation COM
missioner, Garfield, leading on.
However. our boys went at it, despite
the peculiar handicap and at least
convinced one of the three Judges
that they had successfully contested
the claim that the federal government
should control all corporations doing
Interstate business.
Three able judges were asked to
come to decide in the matter. Judge

helped drag the trunks to the head
of the stairs. She started to go
down the stairs. but was choked with
smoke and returned to her room.
The situation was now looking
desperate, but some one called that
the fire was not spreading toward
their room, out to the main part of
the building. Mr., Russell put a
cloth over his nose and dragged the
trunks back in dense smoke. Many
of the hotel guests on her floor now
gathered at her room for there was
from the window fire escape. They
shut the door and keeping the smoke
out were able to have air which did
not choke them. The trunks were
dumped out of the second story win

family lived on the third floor, and

smoke choked them and terror filled
