According to Magistrate Scott of

to render this decision when Harold
Luders was called before him, havin e
been arrested for kissing Miss Hilda
Young of 1916 Montgomery avenue,
his fiancee, when he was leaving her
last night to board a car for her home.
why, this boy has committed no
crime" said the magistrate. Things
have come to pretty pass when a
man cannot kiss his girl on the street.
II this keeps on II will be high time
for the young people to move out and
the crippled and feeble minded to
move in. If a good, clean young man
must hide his head under a bucket or
crawl under a barn when he wants to
kiss a nice, sweet girl, then 1 say it's
about time for Gabriel to foot his horn
and set off the big blast.
Where do you think a fellow ought
to kiss his girl? Down in a big cave?
If a girl is good enough to be kissed
she ought to be kissed out in the open
so that everybody can see it, and no
one likes to do it and see it more than

He discharged Luders forthwith.
