KISSING GREAT NATIONAL SPORT
IN THE UNITED STATES" ASSERTS
DESCHAMPS, THE FRENCH AUTHOR

New York, Dec. 16.-There is a stir
here over the pronouncement of Emi'a
Deschamps, French author and trav-
eler, on American kissing.
He says kissing is the great nation
al sport in the United States.
And he adds with some enthusiasm
that the Smith College girls are the
best kssers
Deschamps says this in his new
book, Les Femmes d'Oncle Sam
Uncle Sans Wonderland he does it
in one chapter thus:
One may tell by the way in which
a young girl gives or receives kiss
from which college she has graduated.
The best kissers come from Smith
College, although the girls from Har-
ward Annex (Radcliffe), prefer kisses
to bon hons. The ground falls from
under their feet, and if they do not
touch the stars it is because the +
weight prevents.
The kiss of Vassar girls is like a
blow.
The graduates of Bryn Mawr kiss
without batting an eye.
THE ravishing kiss of Mount Hol-
yoke can only be compared to a vol
cano.
In Boston professors teach the best
methods for kissing beloved lips, OF
simply the lips of friends, with all the
seriousness of those in charge of con-
ferences at the Sorbonne.
Zone day one of these professors
gave series of conferences on. tn
kiss. 1t had some success, but his
appeal for demonstration upon him
self remained without echo. That was
too much. Besides the lecturer had
just shown that the nectar of Venus,
as he defined it, demanded solitud
and darkness.
"A bishop, following discussion 81
the matter, preached a sermon against
| the ministerial kiss'-the habit pas.
tors have of kissing on the forehead
eyes, cheeks, or lips the young womer
of Their parish"

CANNERY CAMP
CONDITIONS TOLD
TO CONGRESShE EN-
Woman Investigator Tells
House Committee of
Labor Conditions.

Mary Boyle o'Reilly, whost disclos-
ures of the conditions under which EN-
ployes in certain Eastern canning fac
tories are forced to work, led to a leg
islative investigation at Albany, APP
peared today before the House Rules
Committee in support of the Allen reso-
luton dema nding Congressional probe
of the matter. .~
Miss O'Reilly described how she posed
as a canning operative in several fac
tories, and drew q vivid picture of the
sQualor and misery under which she and
fellow employees labored for long hours
at starvation wage.
That mere children were employed in
many tasks was charged.
Tafkfng rapidly, her eyes flashing in
anger, Miss O'Reilly for an hour held
the committee silent with Arrangement
In factory, at Fairport, n. Y, Miss
OReilly said she found forty children
OF tender age at work, twenty-eight of
whom had yirulent skin disease. The
camp where the workers lived, she said,

In a Marion, N. z, plant the witness
said she found six women at work pack

with skin disease that they were obliged

Reviewing conditions she had found
between Albany and Rochester. Miss
OReiliy declared that the workers were
practically all afflicted with skin dis
eases.
e. Camps Flimsy Affairs.
The cannery season, Miss o'Reilly
said, lasted from October to the fol-
lowing March. ~
All of the camps, she declared, were
fimsy affairs, with no sanitary arrange
Inents, and with three or four families
crowded In one shack. Nearly all the
employees were infected with skin, eye
and scalp diseases.
Many of the children employed, she
said, were between the ages of six and
ten. They earned from 10 to 20 cents
a day for ten hours work The can
neries were generally on the outskirts
OF villages, Miss o'Reilly pointed out,
where no attention was paid to sanl-
tary conditions, and most village off,
cials were employees of the cannery.
Maryland Man Protests.
Following Miss OReilly's statement
Congressman Covington of Maryland
declared that because of "the, SEN
sational newspaper reports" her
statement might put dynamite under
