Will be comparatively simple. a
lawwill be passed making It fe,ony
for a man to kiss girl unless h.

whenever possible, be recorded m
writing and signed by witnesse,
Courts of affianced relations Win
then be established, similar to ~
present courts of domestic rela.
lions, in which all such causes NAV
be heard. 1t is felt that women viii
not be slow to lend their support
to such legislation, inasmuch as 4
will be OF the greatest possible
aid In the pursuit of husbands, A
kiss taken by force or stealth will
be sufficient upon which to bass
an action for damages, while any
effort of the male to evade his pre-.
0sculatory promise will furnish
ground for a breach of promise
suit. For this reason, it is believed
that the support of the many Or.
CARNATIONS of woman voters can
easily be obtained for such legis-
latiOn.
Women permitting themselves 10
be kissed without proper assur-
; ance will of course be equally
guilty with the men. and measures
have been suggested for the control
| of such illicit kissing. 1t has beeu
suggested that an excellent peace
time use for the great fleet Of air
ships which We are going to hav.
would be to patrol with powerful
searchlights the various parks AMI
other amusement places where II
licit spooning might be carried Oh
Bicycle cops on the ground, follow
ing the search lights, would arres
the offenders. Spooning in privat'
residences, 1t is recognized, will b,
harder to coptrol. But the reform
ers are asking congress for lav
making it possible for prohibited
agents to search private premise,
without a warrant. 1t is felt tha
If this law is passed it will furnisl
ample precedent for one permittinl
the censors of public morals to en-
ter homes in the pursuit Of thei
duties.
Lastly, there is a strong move
ment. originating in the rural sec
| tons, to do something to keep th
birds from singing SO loudly o.
! Sunday. Nothing definite has beeI
decided about this, but the matte
will be taken up with the biologica
survey and it will be sought to fin'
some way of impressing it upon tn
birds that the laws of nature M
longer pertain in the United State
of America.
