KISSING

An interesting straw vote has just been taken among Princeton men. The result proves nothing but that a diff ference of opinion exists But even that starts something
 Of men in the senior class 12I voted that they have kissed girls. Some con- fined their kisses to but one girl. But 27 denied that ever in their whole lives had they kissed young woman, ex- cluding their own sistersi
 And among those who voted 20 of the young men declared flatfootedly that they thought kissing wrong And the unsettled question is: Is kissing wrong? Doesn't it now, say, rather, depend? Isn't that a question Una, can hardly be answered by yes or no? Isn't it in the same category with Have you stopped beating your wife Leaving it so, one is interested in an other fact that the questionnaire brought to light
 One of the Princeton men admitted corresponding with g girls and two of 'em declared that they wrote regularly to II girls each. Perhaps there's one reason in this for the high cost of education.

UNCLE PURSUES MEN

Another Blakely Coughliu kidnapping
case in Norristown has narrowly ecen
sverted
Two men in an automobile last night
attempted to abduct nine year old
Charles Bonti while he was playing nesr
hts home, West Basin street and Ire
mont avenue, Norristown. The lad :
home. 1t within a few blocks Of the
spot where Blakely Coughlin. thirteen
months old baby was kidnapped.
The kidnappers of the Bont soy
carried him in their machine until they
had gotten a few miles outside Of Nor &.
ritown. In the meantime they found
out his parents we're poor by question
ing the lad. In disgust they dropped
the boy from the machine.
"They asked me how much money
my folks had" said the boy. IL tol0
them none. They got mad and swore
and then let me 60.
A negro noticed the two abductors on
fremont avenue at 2 o'clock. They
pointed out the house in which the
Bonti boy lives with his uncle. Thomas
Catanese, florist and asked ,it the
owner of the place was wealthy. The
negro told the man. When CataneSe
went TO look for his nephew he found
him gone.
Catanesc Immediately started in pur-
suit in his own automobile. Through the
dark, wet country roads he followed the
abductors with the aid Of dim search
light. The slippery dirt roads efec-
tually stopped any attchpt at speed
but in the fresh mud the tracks Of the
kidnappers' automobile were plainly
discernible. At Oreland Catanese's car
broke down and he had to rush back
TO Norristown for another machine
Finally. near midnight. the searching
party came across the boy in the vi
entity of Plymouth Meeting. not more
than a mile from the house where
Blakely Coughlin. was stolen on the

Members Of Cabinet.

washington.-The first reports Of
the election Of November 2. hailed by
enthusiastic Republicans as one Of the
greatest landslides In the history of
American politics, seems not be have
been exaggerated. as the returns have
borne out the claims Of the victors.
President-elect Harding will have
4O4 electoral votes, while Governor
Cox will receive but 127 votes. The
successful candidate for president will
take office with the knowledge that
both the senate and house will have
substantial Republican working ma
jorities.
In the senate the Republicans will
have 50 members and the Democrats
81. as result of the landslide for
Republicanism.
The house membership will be 295
Republicans, 1876 Democrats, one
Socialist, one Independent, one indie
Observation-Disclosures and one indie
pendent Republican.
While speculation Is rife as to who
will be selected as members Of Presi-
dent-elect Harding's cabinet, Senator
Harding has announced that he will
Immediately take a much needed vaca-
ton, and will take up the matter Of
selection Of cabinet members upon his
return.
In fact, Senator Harding began his
vacation tour on Saturday, when
crowds rivaling those Of campaign days

Texas coast.

the way in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,

With the Republican majority in the
next house estimated at 100, 1t is ap-
parent that there will not be enough
seats to accommodate the Republican
members on one side Of the chamber,
and there will be an overflow Of Re
publicans to the opposite side. The
same thing Is true In the senate, and
Republican senators will have to take
seats among the Democrats in that
body.
In the Sixty-third congress the situa
ton was the same as that which will
exist in the Sixty-seventh congress
Then the Democrats, with the total
membership the same as now, 435

 $5O,OOO Fire Loss

Tyronza, March 10.-Five busi- ness houses here burned last night entailing a loss estimated at $50,- 900. The blaze originated in the general mercantile store of J. c. Hooten shortly before midnight, probably from a defective flue.
 A strong wind from the south caused the flames to spread to four other buildings occupied by the post office, Tyronza garage, Cobb & Mills, Johns place and Fair Bros. r Volunteer f.remen attracted to the scene checked the blaze when it had reached the brick building occupied by Howard & Young and several lodges.
