why DOES GIRL SHUT
EYES when KISSING?
For Same Reason Men Like to Be
Blindfolded When Shot.

Baltimore. Nov. S-A question having
been propounded which seemed 70 be Of
the greatest physiological and patholoE-
ical interest-namely. why does a girl
shut her eyes when a fellow kisses her i?
One Of the f1yest reporters OF this city
was assigned TO get information upon the
subject.
A suffragette who he supposed knew
everything and would be quite disinter-
ested. seemed 10 be somewhat vexed al
his polite inquiry. and replied:
I'm sure have not the slightest ioes
unless the girl is ashamed OF being such
a silly fool as TO kiss the brute"
From a young wife comes this curious
answer:
She is thinking. oh. Lord. how
have been cheated
Pursuing the Investigation further
among a number of young women who
presumably knew something Of the sub
ject the reporter got such answers as
these:
If YOU have ever seen a male mus
at close range-or ever looked in a mir
ror-you ought TO understand why she
shuts her eyes"
Perhaps for the same reason that men
like TO be blindfolded before they are
shot. or have TO face any other horrible
ordeal"

NEWSPAPERDOM HIT
BY SHIFT In NEWS

The present Presidential election has
caused a situation almost unknown in
the history OF newspaperdom. All over
the country subscribers either received
their papers late or found they were in

ored Wilson. Later the tide turned to
Hughes and the bulletins said the Re-
publicans were carrying New England.
New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois and all
the big States, with the exception of
Ohio. 1t appeared to be a certainty that
Hughes had won. At 2:30 o'clock yester-
day morning The Washington Herald
was made up and put on the presses for
the early mail edition. Then came a
flash" that Wilson was gaining. The
forms were torn apart and changed from
"a Republican easy victory to "a Re
publican close victory"
About this time another bulletin came
saying Wilson had a fighting chance to
win. new paper was made up. stating
that the results Of the election were
doubtful and giving the details as near
as was possible from the rapidly chang
ing news.
The news continued to turn steadily to
Wilson as the hours passed and at 4:SO
o'clock yesterday morning it appeared
that Wilson needed but one more State
to make his election sure.

refined skins within her borders because
they cannot be sent over here to be tan
ned and cured for immediate consuInp-
ton.
