SPANIARDS FORM
ANTI-KISS LEAGUE
Leaders Of Movement Predict
Much Hygienic Good

MADRID, May 24.-(By Associated
Press kissing is going out of favor
among Spaniards. The league against
the promiscuous kissing of children,
formed some years ago, has decided
to extend its efforts and to start a
campaign against the kissing prevalent
among women when they meet or take
leave of each other.
The leaders of the movement assert
that much hygienic good has been done
by the restriction of the OSCILLATION of
children, and they express, the opinion
that women generally will welcome a
similar measure, for. as they argue. in
most instances kissing does not mean
friendship.
