RATHER HAVE THE FLU
THAN TO STOP KISSING

Philadelphia, Feb 6.--"Oh. | never
heard Of anybody dying from kissing
did youY"
So runs the popular song, but the fair
undergraduates Of Philadelphia college,
stirred by the news of the anti-kissinp
societies organized by girls in nearby
towns, in an effort To prevent the spread
of flu, are not SO sure. Some declare they
are willing to forcgo the gentle art of
osc,ilation in the interests Of cold hygiene,
others say disdainfully there is no need
for the sacrifice, while some dauntlcss
and; perhaps, more practised maidens
swear, well--that they just will not.
1T is a verE wise movement, declared
the secretary to the president at Swarth-
more College. There is toosmuch kiss
ing, anyway. I'm sure INST Of the girls
would be benefited 10y suoh society =

DR.. Won MACH HEADS
GERMAN VOTE DRIVE
Former Harvard Instructor Directs
Move to Elect Harding and

New York, Sept 6.-Dr Edmund Won
Mach, former instructor IN history IN
Harvard University. was revealed yester
dav as national head OF the German move
ment TO support Senator Warren O..
Harding. Republican nominee for Presl-
dent. on the issues Of a'common opposition
10 IN League of Nations and common
hope of a separate peace with Germany.
DIR. Won Mach's position as stemporaTy
national chairman Of the Committee Of
Ninetv-six, the central German organiza-
ton directing the movement, was dis
clos a by Lester II. Franklin of Auburn
dale. Flushing who said the formation Of
the committee of ninety-siX was his idea
and that he is chairman Of It's New \ ork

the German movement and his assertion
that some of the German leaders were
looking for Republican and Democratic
campaign funds As the Committee Of
Ninetv-six has already declared for Senator
Harding. the leaders OF whom Mr. Frank
lin spoke are presumably looking for
Republican campaign money nationally
and he intimated that they were looking
for Democratic campaign money IN re-

THE GIRL ON THE JOB.

WOMEN AS OCILISTS.
pyrlght. 1920. by whccicr syndicate Inc

spoke q few days ago of the fact that
women were being encouraged ~ enter
pharmacy, ard that many women were
taking the courses offered at the universi-
ties.
There is another profession, opened to
women recently, that promises equally
well Ii is tho oculist $. There rs no preIu-
dice against women here, such rs they
have still to contend with, for example, IN
practicing dentistry. People are quite
used TO having their glasses fitted by a
woman assistant They take easily TO
having her assume the whole responsible
lty.
A woman with whom ! talked recently
on this subject, has a charming office IN
one of our big cities. She advertnes that
special care is given TO children. Many
children wear glasses these days, and "
takes a good deal Of trouble to get results
with child Many a youngster is terrified
by the tests, and Will not answer easily the
questions asked 4 woman who can get
the childs confidence, who knows how to
handle a little girl or boy as only a woman
can. attracts clients. Naturally, this par
ticular woman oculist takes all who come.
Bv making a speciality Of children, how
ever, she calls attention TO herself, and
her instead of counting against her.
Careful preparation and long study
must bc undertaken, as IN any work that
has 20 do with the reconstruction or
cure Of any portion OF the human body
The ewes are SO closely related TO the
nervous and digestive systems that the
eve doctor these DAYS is a carefully trained
person. Ii is, however a profession that
does not call for the long hours and broken
rest of the doctor, nor for the physical
work and intense nervous attention OF the
dentist. 1t seems especially well suited to
women, and il is sure 10 become one OF the
favorite pursuits Of the woman who has
the leaning toward medicine and science
which women have almost equally with
their brothers. but from the development
Of which they have long been excluded.
