WHITE IN
 KISSING DISPUTE
Denies They Shorten Life Of
 Participants

Emporia, Kansas, May 24 (UP)- William Allen White, famous editor of Emporia, attributes the increase in crime to loose talk of scientists" exemplif1ed in the recent statement of a psychologist that each kiss shortens life three minutes.
 White was the recipient Of a sharp reprimand from Dr. c. J. FL more, professor of biology at Will liam Jewell college. for stating in an editorial that if, in his case. each kiss meant shortening of life three minutes, he would have had to die 'six months before the Revolution ary War"
 pr. Elmore remarked that White was ''as loose in his statements as he accuses scientists of being" and with great mass of figures proved. would have had to kiss five times every four minutes, including Sun days and holidays, sixteen hours a day"
 This is not at all unreasonable, nor is it improbable that MT. White has done this, especially since we have his statement to that effect" Dr. Elmore remarked. T have all ways suspected scientists and es- pecially psychologists were corrupt ing youth, provoking people in mid dle life and saddening old age with their rash and unfounded state ments. It is encouraging to know that at least one journalist is ca pablo of calling a halt on them with his conservative and mathematical statements"
 To which White replied Time spent indulging in osculatory exer- cises passes quicker than 1t 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 college and to conquer the big, wide world"

HOT WORDS PASSED
 INLUNCH CART ROW
Right of Building Board to Deny
 Permit Challenged

Representing that the building commission has no legal right to legislate lunch carts out of the city. Messrs. Farley. Le Witt and McDonough, owners Of a proposed site at II Washington street. have made formal demand for a permit, and have met the objections of the Burritt hotel directors with the verbal thrust by P. F. McDonough:
 You hotel men take yourselves too seriously. Let me say there are many people in this city who own hotel stock who do not take the hotel so seriously"
 Numerous other remarks along the same vein were made last eve ming when the building commission was in session for nearly two hours at . public hearing to determine the sentiment toward lunch carts. The commissioners went on record last week as opposed to buildings of this type. After the hearing it was voted to confer with Corpora ton Counsel John H. Kirkham relative to the city's legal right to deny . permit.
 Opening the discussion, Attorney George Le Witt. one Of the owners of the property. said: When we fulfilled every requirement of the law, we want to know why we arc not granted a permit. As a matter of law. this commission has no le- gal right to refuse us a permit. Plans and specifications for the proposed lunch cart were filed with the commission
 Speaking of the building com missions objection that such a building Is detrimental" to the neighborhood. Attorney McDonough demanded to know in what respect it is detrimental. He declared against policy of permitting a group of men to say a certain building is detriment and an- other is not and he demanded to know where the law exists to sup port such action. Tt is a dangerous thing to have someone whispering over the fence to someone else about such matters" Mr. McDon- ough said in concluding his argu- ment. Commissioner W. R. Fem demanded: What do you mean? That someone has been talking to us7''
 McDonoush's reply was: "Oh, no, Mir. Fenn. far be it from you to be open to influence by anybody"
 William J. Farley declared the lunch cart would be more fireproof than the Burritt hotel and when President Isaac Black of the hotel corporation challenged the state ment Farley pointed out that the hotel Is only fire-resistant.
