HOW LONG is KISS? ASK
ACTRESSES OF LONDON
Some Women Opposed to Realistic
Embraces on Stage-Producer
Says 65 Seconds.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February Glow long
should a stage kiss last? Is a question
which has been agitating the London
theatrical profession. The matter was
brought to a head by several actresses
who are decidedly opposed to reals
tic embraces on the stage and who,
when kisses are to be given insist on
only those of the peek" variety. These
actresses have encountered opposition,
however, not only from other actress
es, but from producers and directors
who insist on realism.
One producer contended that a kiss
ing scene in his play should continue
at least 65 seconds, and during re-
hearsals he held a stop-watch on the
two persons to make certain that his
order was carried out.

three bills We're referred to a subcom-
mittee composed of William S. Tor
bert DR.. George II. Richardson and
Harry y. Stull.
Judge de Lacy's principal argu-
ment in favor of the Gerry bill was
that it made the Juvenile Court a
part of The District Supreme Court
and put at the service of the children
its trained iurists. with this trained
and higher type of service he said,
there will be considerably more prog
ress in sowing this battling question

Lacy explained. handle too many
petty cases. which tend to cheaper

LONDON, February 6.-By all
means let the Prince of Wales con-
tinue his hunting, but also let him
deny himself the thrill Of very dan
gerous jumps. This, in effect. is the
consensus of opinion expressed in the
British press since the heir to the
throne was laid up with broken
collarbone.
The case of one prominent British
hunter, who says he has broken
nearly every bone in his body, is ad-
vanced to show that the prince, after
lal, has not suffered many accidents
and still has a lot Of falls ahead of
him before he becomes a veteran
hunter. Thus far he has broken only
his right and left collarbones.

WHEAT SUPERIOR
TO LAST A

HELENA-Quality Of Montana's
1926 wheat crop, while generally SUI
perior to last years, is not uniform
over the state, according to a sum-
mary Of tests made at the Great Falls
laboratory of the state department Of
agriculture. Winter wheat is badly
affected by smut, dockage in some
samples amounting to IL per cent.
To offset this the winter wheat is
high in test weight, many samples
testing 81 and SO pounds to the
bushel. The average protein content
is over Is per cent.
The protein content of spring
wheat last year was abnormally high
and the average this year will be
from 1 to III per cent lower. Spring
wheat protein content will be in the
~neighborhood of IA per cent. The
spring wheat is free from smut and
unless moisture conditions affect Il
adversely will mostly be of number
one or two grade.

PROTEIN CONTENT
ESSENTIAL FACTOR
Farmer Must Know What 1t Is
To Sell His Wheat at
Best Advantage

"Probein content is one of the inn
portant factors which determine the
value of your wheat. If you do not
have a protein test made you do not
know whether you are getting full
value for your grain or not" This IS
the message which the Montana Grain
Inspection laboratory at Bozeman
wishes to get to every farmer IN
Montana this year.
Incidentally, w. o. Whitcomb,
superintendent Of the laboratory,
points out that Montana's hard red
spring wheat is averaging a little
higher in protein this year than last,
while hard red winter wheat is run
ming a little lower. Last year the
spring wheat tested at the Bozeman
laboratory averaged 1888 per cent
protein. The 122 samples Of spring
wheat tested so far this season have
averaged 14.03. Last years winter
wheat averaged 11.83 per cent; so
far this year the average is 1898 per
cent.
NlOIS lldu ID pei CClS VI ~ S~hA
pies Of spring wheat tested have av-
eraged Is per cent protein or better
this year. The highest sample tested
was 1905 per cent protein and the
lowest 9.66. The highest winter
wheat sample this year was 1922 pei
cent and the lowest 8.9 per cent.
Mr.. Whitcomb points out that since
there is such a wide spread between
different samples Of grain the indi
vidual farmer cannot go much OF
averages. Each farmer should havr
his grain tested if he is to be in
position to bargain intelligently q
selling time.
The cost of making the test at tn
Bozeman laboratory has been loweret
through the addition of new testinj
equipment and the testing fee ha
been reduced from one dollar t
seventy-five cents.
