MAYOR DEFENDS KISSING.
Fairmont Executive Says Nothing
Can Take its Place.

Fairmont, W. ", Dec. 2S-Recom-
mendation No. 25, in the campaign
of the County Board Of Health against
kissing, which condemns mouth-to-
mouth kissing, is not proving popular
A Cancass shows the 'majorit of
the residents of the. city are opposed
to this recommendation.
ssNo form of salutation can take the
place of the good old-fashioned kiss"
declared Mayor Anthoney Bowen, who
takes firm stand for the osculat-
tory form of salutation. GAS far as
the salutation campaign will prevent
the other fellow from kissing your
girl, it may be all right. But no tap
ping on the shoulder or forehead kiss
will take the place Of the ip-to-lip
salutation, with a hug along with it,"
Miss Margaret Mckinney, of the
Associated Charities, said it was an
imposition on babies to Kiss them
without their consent. "But as far as
adults are concerned it is different
matter" she said. eff adults want to
kiss they will do so, without consider
ing hygiene"
City Commissioner /. L. Smith said
he believed it was all right for per-
sons engaged to be married to kiss,
but otherwise it should be barred on
moral and hygienic grounds. He re-
called that several years ago the
high schoo! faculty found it neces-
sary to separate the boys and girls
in order to check the epidemic Of
kissing.
