Encourage Spooning
Urges DR.. Hunter

United fress.
DENVER, July 18.-"Spooning is
no crime. 1t should be encouraged.
The city should provide long shady
lanes and benches for lovers. John
]. Alexander, of Chicago, doesn't
know what he is talking about"
Thus valiantly does DIR. Paul S.
Hunter of the state board Of health
come to the defense of the love smit-
ten. He denies every allegation that
Alexander made when he addressed
500 young women recently at an in
ternational Sunday school conference
and said spooning is degrading. He
said girls should not allow it. DR..
Hunter proves his contention by quot
ing Shakespeare.
"The bard of Avon says that all the
world loves a lover and it is equally
true that all the world loves u spoon
ESPECIALLY women. Spooning is a
natural recreation.
mo man, especially one in the Wig
or of adolescence refuses to spoon.
If married man does not spoon with
his wife, he is busy spooning with
some other woman Cessation of
spooning is the sure mark of the be.
ginning of the end of matrimonial
felicity.
"Spooning is the hand maid of mat
rimony and marriages produced by
contracts are prosiac and do not
take as often as those produced by
spooning. Love making and spoon
ing are the means upon which the
greatest poets revelled. Had Shake
speare written only the balcony scene
in Romeo and Juliet it would have
made him immortal. have just COM
pleted study of that play, tine great
est spooning drama ever written by
man and acknowledged by critics to
be one of his finest productions.
"Any man who reads the balcony
scene from Romero and Juliet and is
not carried away by its sentiment
has something wrong with him both
mentally and physically. 1t believes
that instead of trying to stop spoon.
ing, it should be encouraged by all
who have the public interest at heart.
The city should furnish long shady
walks for lovers and benches In the
parks where young people can spoon
to their hearts desire.

Try Madame Cai|Iaux
for CaImette Murder

PARIS, July 18.-Madame Joseph
Calilaux, wife of the former premier
and minister of finance, will go on
trial here Monday in the court of
assizes, charged with the murder of
CASTOR Calmette, editor of lie Fig
are"
Nine. Caillaux's defense, it is said,
will amount practically to plea Of
"brainstorm" that she "acted in a mo-
ment of folly" This plea, it is un-
derstood, will be reinforced by a de-
nial that Mrs. Caillaux was directly
responsible for Calmette's death, the
charge being made that the surgeons
attending Calmette after the shooting
might have saved his life easily had
they operated in time. A third string
to the defense's bow will be in the
nature of justification plea, Editor
Calmette's attacks being of an alleg-
ed personal nature and exceedingly
violent in tone, calculated to destroy
what to the Caillaux couple was more
precious than life; the good standing
of the wife.
Scores of witnesses have been sub
poenaed, including former prime min
isters, cabinet officials, senator's, dep
uties, judges, lawyers, princesses and
social leaders, while the president of
the republic, Raymond Poincare, will
testify through deposition. The
public practically will be barred, since
the room is small and small army
of lawyers, officials, newspaper cor
respondents and the like have asked
admission.

three days each year joins Seattle in
merrymaking.
The protest against dishwash:ng,
floor scrubbing, cradle rocking, bread

heaped upon husbands by tyrannical
housewives, reached climax when,

Camp Writes Another

FREAKS IN BASEBALL.

Freak plays make baseball humor-
Gus if not interesting. Some Of these
plays are said to be the result of
quick thinking, but as matter Of
fact, most of them are simply luck.
Curious things happen. A ball fell
into tin can, and it being impossi-
BILE to get it out in time, can and
all were thrown to the baseman. An
other ball hit the end of nail driven
through the opposite side of a fence
and could not be got down until all
the runners scored.
A swift hit glances off the pitcher
hand, is snapped up by an infelde-
and thrown to first, putting the man
out.
Red-hot liners or grounders some
times hit the first or third base bag
and glance away for singles or even
two-baggers.
The shortest two-bagger known was
when the ball grazed the bat, shot up
= few feet, and fell in front of the
plate. As the catcher reached for
the twirling ball, it glanced from his
glove and bounded back to the stand
and the batter made second easily.
A center fielder saw a nit in the
way Of the shortstop and walked
about sixty feet in to move 1t out Of
the way, when he heard the crack
Of the bat and saw hot ball coming
straight at him. He could do moth
Ing but try to catch it, and did t.

H|NDUS REFUSE TO
RETURN TO ORIENT
IlindS Denied AdmittaaCe to Canada Sene Sio
on Which they Were to have been Depofted,
Lock Captain in Hold and Resist Officers

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 49,
While Captain Yamamoto of the
steamer Kcmagata was preparing to
sail yesterday for the Orient with
the Mindus who were denied admit
tance to Canada, the Hindus mutinied.
They locked up the captain and ter
rorized the entire crew. They took
charge of the ship, declaring they
would resist deportation even If blood
shed was necessary.
Shore authorities were ignorant of
the mutiny until the first officer
smuggled sailors ashore with the
news. A police boat visited Koma-
gaia but the Hindus refused to let
the police on board, bowling defiance.
Other police will probably attempt to
restore order this afternoon. If they
fail the British cruiser Rainbow will
be summoned.

ELIMINATION OF A
CiTY'S FILTH AND FLIES

The fly does its deadly work of
carrying disease germs to food so
stealthily that man has been wholly
unsuspecting. Even when he does
learn the truth, it is difficult to be-
lieve the treachery of an animal that
has lived for centuries in such init
mate relationship with mankind. Had
man been less trusting, the repeated
accounts of the association of flies
with plaques and pestilence recorded
in the Bible might have caused him
to learn the truth long before he did.
knowledge of the fly's deadliness
and belief in the possibility of Kidding
our habitations of the fly pest must
precede action. But how can that
knowledge and that belief be instill-
ed. The Scientific American tells how
the problem was successfully attack
ed in the city of Cleveland. From
the first the idea uppermost in the
minds of those who led the Cleveland
campaign, has been to unite the ef-
forts of the whole community to do
the teamwork, as it were, in destroy
ing the fly. So successful was the
plan adopted that confessions on all
sides were heard that the reduction
of the flies in the past summer had
led many people to change their
mi d.. IA q
lies from the city. The conversion of
business men, especially those dealing
in food products, was gratifying be-
cause the burden of the work nat.
urally falls on the men whose mer-
chandise is attractive to flies.

Society Men Cause
Of Race Suicide

CHICAGO, July 1s.-Young Mr..
Husband Of moderate means who sac
rifices his parenthood SO that he may
live in a flat with good view of
the lake and southern exposure, or
that he may engage in polite revelry,
came in for scoring today by w.
Lester Bodine, superintendent of COM
pulsory education, in charge of the
city census just completed. Statis-
ties gathered so far. Bodnie states, in
dicate that the fashionable apartment
home districts in Chicago, especially
along the north shore, are sadly in
lack of children.
in considering the state of affairs
which causes lack of children along
the north shore apartment house dis
trict," said Bodine, 81 believe the So
ciety man is more to blame than the
society woman. Quite often the gay
life of young husbands sets a pace
that kills the health of fatherhood,
and children that do come are weak
lings. Prosperity to many brings
self-indulgence. Many prosperous
men, you will notice, play with their
automobile like the poorer man would
play with his baby.
Another tendency that causes race
suicide is the high rent of desirable
apartments. A family with an ay
erage income desires good flat. Good
flats are expensive. A young couple
can often afford four-room abode,
which furnishes sleeping space for
two. The family is naturally prejud-
iced in the matter of children under
such circumstances and little by lit
tie the desire for family additions is
smothered in the artificial economy
of their new lives"
The twenty-frst ward, populated
mostly by folks of moderate means,
is keeping its reputation for small
birth rate, Bodine stated. The twen-
ty-fifth ward, where there are more
young brides living than in any quar-
ter of Chicago, threatens to fall into
line with the twenty-frst.

THE ELECTROCUTION

Friggeri places a gasoline motor and

the back of the carriage a drum is

tension to 5000 volts and even more.
The metallic circuit is established be-
tween pole and dynamo formed by
stem of iron fixed into the ground
and the net. After several trials
which have all been crowded with sue

were considered as decisive. Indeed,
not only has it been possible to de-
stroy the grasshoppers but also their
