MENACE OF KISS
Emporia Sage Pooh Poohs
Theory That Emotions
Shorten Life.
BIZ Tpifed Press

BIZ United Press
EMPORIA, Kan, June 6.-Wil-
liam Allen White, famous editor of
Emporia, attributes the increase in
crime to loose talk of scientists"
exemplifled in the recent statement
of psychologist that each kiss
shortens life three minutes.
White was the recipient of a sharp
reprimand from DR.. c. j. Elmore,
professor of biology at William
Jewell College. for stating in an edi-
torial that if, in his case, each kiss
meant shortening of life three min
utes, he would have had to die six
months before the Revolutionary
War"
1900 Smacks Daily
DR.. Elmore remarked that White
was "as loose in his statements as he
accuses scientists of being" and with
great mass of figures proved, to his
own satisfaction, that White would
have had to kiss five times every
four minutes, including Sundays and
holidays, sixteen hours a day"
Il have always suspected" DR.. FL
more said. scientists and especially
psychologists were corrupting youth
provoking people in middle life and
saddening old age with their rash
and unfounded statements"
Gets Sarcastic
ut is encouraging to know that at
least one journalist is capable of
calling halt on them with his con-
sentative and mathematical state
ments."
To which White replied: Time
spent indulging in osculatory eXer-
cises passes quicker than it does in
the ordinary humdrum events Of the
day. If DR.. Elmore knows as little
about kissing as he knows about
mathematics he has probably never
enjoyed a livelier thrill than grand
mas kiss when he left home for COL
lege and to conquer the big wide
world"
