Practice of Kissing
Not UniUersoL Custom

The idea Of the kiss being an in
stinctive gesture is negatived by its
being unknown over half the world,
where the prevailing salute is that by
smelling or shifting Gotten called by
travellers rubbing noses"). /.
The kiss appears constantly in Semitic
and Aryan antiquity.
In Greece in the classic period it be-
came customary to kiss the hand,
breast or knee of a superior. In
Rome the kisses of interiors became
a burdensome civility. The early
Christians made it the sign of fellow
ship. 1t early passed into more cere-
mOnial form in the kiss of peace given
to the newly baptized and in the cele-
bration of the eucharist.
While the kiss has been adopted as
a religious rite, its original social use
has continued. Among men, however,
it has become less effusive. Court GER
emOnial keeps up the kiss on the cheek
between sovereigns and the kissing Of
the hand by subjects, and the pope,
like a Roman emperor, receives the
kiss on his fdOt.-Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica.

It had always been our impression

would be the genus male of the haute

Harvey A. Watkins Of the Second
ward, Chicago, was candidate in the
primaries for the City Council from
that ward on the Republican ticket AL
the time this is being written / do not
know whether or not Mr.. Watkins
won out I do know, however. that he
should not have been the choice Of the
voters. The foundation of Mr.. Wat
kins' candidacy was the most ancient
kind Of political bunk combined with
the most glaring pork barrelly con-
ception Of public Office.
Here is the first reason, given by
Watkins, why the electors should vote
for Watkins instead Of Louis Ander-
son, the present incumbent Saws
Watkins in his political advertising
Alderman Anderson has been on the
public payroll for 81 years. Give
another man chance" This Is the
primary reason why Anderson should
be kicked out and Watkins put in, ac-
cording to Watkins. What does Wat
kins mean by give another man a
chance A chance to get what and to
do what?
Do Watkins and all his kind conceive
OF public Office as a chance to get
something for themselves, to do some
thing for themselves? Is it wrong, or
inefficient or undesirable to retain an
individual in public office for 81 years?
Would Watkins, himself, refuse to re-
main on the public payroll for 81 years
il he got the opportunity?
No emphasis is put on ability or fit
ness, only the suggestion that one man
be put out so that another man may
get his nose in the trough for while.
This is conception Of public Office all
too prevalent. 1t is the starting point
for graft, bribery, incompetency in adj
ministration and all the other evils that
attend our entire political organization.

Winter Resorters
Are Lightly Clad
Vivid Colors Dominate; Gay
Ensembles Conspicuous,
Paris Writer Says.

As the frosty days arrive the smart
continental world turns with relief to
the warmth and distractions Of the
Riviera, observes a Paris fashion
writer in the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal. Along the numerous promenades
and jaunty sports costumes rival one
another for the first place. Naturally
enough the smart winter resorters are
lightly clad. while the rest of the
world suffers from cold and bulk. At
Nice and Cannes the slim lines are
carried out in tilmy textures, wheth1--
1t be in the realm of sportswear, af-
ternoon or evening frocks. Colors,
while brilliant. are for the most part
consistent with fabrics in that they
are light and soft
The sports type of clothing seen
along the Riviera is ingenious and at
tractive. Patou suggests an ensemble
composed Of a dark-red crepella coat
lined with pink jersey to match the
reverS and cuffs, and a frock or skirt
with little plaits let in the center
front.
Another Patou offering is in the
form of a clear colored striped jersey
jumper piped in clear colors in the
same tones, accompanied by a plain
skirt
There is a little cardigan frock by
Drecoll in black sweater pink "chine"
banded with pink "chine" and trimmed
with a black patent leather belt and
a scarf to match the eiging.
Wooden Mixtures.
The vogue for wooden mixtures Is
INDUCED in by Chantal. who designs
a jacket in reddish wool to wear over
skirt of beige or natural kasha,
which has yellowish stripe bands over
the box pIaits.
Lelong follows with several ensem-
bles consisting of dark wooden coats,
often navy blue, lined with foulard to
match the accompanying frock
Martial ct Armand offer a striking
sports costume of white crepe de
chine-the frock is made with a close
collar and laviShly embroidered in
red, and is worn with a white geor-
gette fichu and red jacket
Premet's sleeveless velvet jacket,
worn with the simple frock, is her
aided as among the popular themes
of short coats and little frocks; there
is one in green crepella with a green
coatee, one in banana crepella with
paletot in beige velvet, and another in
blue jersey with blue velvet coat.
Patou gives advance notes of lit
tie casaqua and "chemise" in white
embroidered in black and green.
At luncheon one may wear Patou's
black stiff satin frOck or peau de sole,
as the material is generally called.
One Of Helms coats may be chosen,
such as a model which looks like a
frock in black "chine" with vertical
black silk stitches over extremely fine
plaits The broad belt is inset and
the lining is in gregg georgette.

Mr.. Watson, one of the pioneer
Of TeXarkana and one of the city's
civic leaders, will direct the ac-
tivities of the Bureau until Feb
ruary !, when Mr. Cargile s term
would have expired.
Officers are TO be elected then.
officials of the organization have
ANNOUNCED.
FIR. Cargile, the first President
Of the Merchants Bureau, resigned
because the demands of his bust
ness affairs prohibited his serving
in an executive capacity any long
er. The resignation was accepted
with the regrets of the directorate
board and other officers.
The proposal to organize a Mer-
chants Bureau in TeXarkana as one
Of the units Of the city's Chamber
Of Commerce, was broached by Mr..
Watson in 1925, following his at
tendance at the National Shoe Re
tailers Convention and after he
had seen the need of expansion for
trade lines in TeXarkana and its
trade territory.
When he returned from the Con
Ivention, he suggested to the Chamb-
cr of Commerce that the retail
merchants organize and start Wig
Iorous campaign to increase the buy
ing volume of the city S trade which
resulted in the organization of the
Merchants Bureau.
Since the organization of the
Merchants uBrcau, Mr.. Watson has
been active IN its operation, serving
as director until his selection as
president to succeed Mr.. Cargile.
