views;
what is kiss,2
"Who should kiss?
"Why and where?
"These are questions that have
brought one couple into the divorce
courts. Let US analyze them.
"A genuine kiss=1not the kind that
some society ladies slap on each 9TH
er's foreheads or noses-is sign of
deep affection, pledge of devotion,
q seal Of indenture to ones love,
"The kiss symbolizes worship at the
shrine Of love. Next to love itself, it
is the most potent agency for hope,
courage, human service and health.
The Right to Kiss.
"Only those who truly love each
other have the right to kiss-as hus-
bands and wives, parents and children.
"Loveless, heartless or mechanical
kisses are mockeries.
"The genuine kiss is void Of super
fatalities or conventionalities- il
spontaneous. 1t carries, inherently, a
surrender. Of former reserve or artif.
cial dignity.
"The time to kiss is when both feel
like it. The place to kiss is wherever
they happen to be.
",The woman who really loves her
husband is happy to be kissed by him
any time, any place, and in any style.
She Graves to be kissed. What's more
she wants the whole world to know it!

When Miss Violet Robinson, a COL

Mrs. Claryer, the mother Of two Of her
pupils, TO stay and have dinner with
the family, she accepted with no an
ticipation of what was before her. Mr..

seemed engaged in a race against time
and labor as he lifted knifeloads Of
viands to his mouth. His wife an
children were not much outdone.
The teacher was not one to keep her

and then with growing wrath as she
felt the need Of coming to her mans

NEED FAITH AND CONFIDENCE
Positions Open for Newly Trained
Victims Of World War Before
They Are Ready.

That the rehabilitated World war
veterans success In life depends
absolutely upon his faith in himself,
is the assertion of Maj. w. f. Lent,
chief of the employment service of
the United States veterans bureau
which has in charge the proper train
ing Of thousands of disabled service
men.
Major Lent, In speaking before the
headquarters staff of the American
Legion in Indianapolis, said that the
Legion and the Legion Auxiliary had
as one of their greatest obligations
the task Of instilling into the hearts
OF service men an absolute faith and
confidence In themselves and their
abilities to cope with life's problems.
He said that the government is to
have a place for every veteran three
or four months before the veteran
Is ready to take 1t. I'VE do not
guarantee that a man who has studied
to be a factory superintendent will
be placed in that position" the major
explained, "but he will be placed in
the path so that he can obtain such
a position through his own initiative
and ability.
I'VE want employers to understand,
too, that these men are no longer
cripples. They may be physically
crippled, but not industrially or vo-
cationally. When we put a man
with one arm into a job, he is as well
able, and perhaps more so, to do that
particular work as is the man with
two arms"

ing 100000 unemployed in a pop

in a population OF $4,000. 900. as has
Great Britain-which would be at
the rate of 100000 idle men for

What. II in addition to their
other burdens. the American people
were obliged to pay out $1,000. .000.-
