This little piece is written es-
pecially for girls who write to
this column and say they never
get a date because they don't
like to kiss every Tom, Dick, and
Harry who comes along. If they
accept invitations for a motor
ride or a treat to a hamburger
roll, the gentlemen concerned
think such Scant hospitality en-.
titles them to pet to the limit.
Naturally. girls who aren't
cheap don't care for these tao
tics. They tell me they'd rather
stay at home than go out with
boys who act like grizzly bears.
If they like boy they don't
mind a kiss or two. But just
any boy who happens along
we'll, that's another story. Some
times a girl writes and asks:
Am eccentric, that I object to
kissing?"
Now, my dears, listen! Even

Perfect Kisses Scarce,
Saws Miss Falrtax

the screen RomeoS get tired OF
casual kisses, and beg to be cast
as hard-boiled steel-workers,
lumberjacks or the type Of sailor
who's ready to lead a mutiny.
The sad truth is that instead Of
going on the screen in a make
UP that suggests a brilliantine
or collar ad, they beg for some
role in which they can talk out
of the sides of their mouths
nor'east by so'west-and come
on with a smudge on their pro-
files and with dirty hands.
MEN BORED WITH LOVE
Roles tender as tenderloin,
where, with heaving chests and
gurgling voices, they protest
their love, are just a pain-in-the-
neck to the screen RomeoS.
They've reached a point where
they'd rather "Sock" the lovely
creature diSsolving in tears than
kiss her. They're bored to death
with looking and sitting pretty.
"Holy suffering cats! Haven't

REASON FOR LEAVING
The foregoing is the real in
side dope of why a certain
Apollo was among the missing
in Hollywood when the screen
was set for the kissing, and it
took "a hours to bring him to
the lot. Tennyson, the Victor
ian laureate, has described the
perfect kiss:
"Once he drew with one long
kiss
My whole soul through
My lips. as sunlight drinketh

But this perfect experience Is
not Within the power of every

worth waiting for.

Plans for furnishing Father

robe, instead of a Franciscan one,
were held up today because the
experts are not sure now that
Father Marquette really is one Of
the figures in the has relief on
the Michigan Avenue Bridge.
It's all somewhat confusing, but
Mayor Edward Kelly had ordered
the plaque changed so Father
Marquette would be depicted
rightly as a Jesuit. Work has
been suspended, however, because
someone raised the doubt that
maybe the priest wasn't supposed
to be Father Marquette in the
first place.
Historians and churchmen will
investigate the problem and hope
to interview the artist, James E.

ASSAILED BY JONES

many respects and provided no
adequate crop control. He criti-

of the farm organizations in seek

Congress.

Of operatives, had not endorsed

Delay in opening the pavilion,

900 was not approved in Washing.
ton until late in February, and
that, therefore, construction here
did not begin until early in April.

ragged protest from Senator Cope.
land Of New York that the Presi.
dent was mixing in New York city
mayoralty politics.
Matt" McCloSkey, a Democrat
with the power Of a boss in Phila-
delphia visits the President with
Senator Guffey Of Pennsylvania,
IN the open at the White House
and scarcely any mention is made
OF it, even though Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania politics right
now are as acute, in a way, as any
thing that could happen in Man
haitian.
A Philadelphia mayor, S. Davis
Wilson, once a Democrat, but sit
ting as a Republican, has stated
ne will run for governor. He
does not say whether he will run
as a Republican or a Democrat
an unparalleled situation.
PERIL FOR GUFFEY
But at any rate he threatens
the Guffey-Earle regime, which
wants to perpetuate itself; and
New Dealers, one and all, want to
assure themselves of Pennsyl-
vania's votes in the electoral col.
lege for 1910.
With the tendency Of the Old
Keystone State to drift back to its
traditional G. o. P. moorings, any.
thing that will strengthen the Dem
ocratic regime is tremendously i'm
portant to national, State and
Philadelphia city politics.
When McCloSkey and Guffey
left the Presidents office after
a long chat the news they gave
out was that they we're there to
get the Presidents friendly back
ing for a Philadelphia river
front improvement, a 40-foot
channel. But the channel will
never hold Pennsylvania for the
Guffey-Earle machine.
Matt McCloSkey is the head
of a most successful contracting
firm. In Washington his firm
has put up the splendid Archives
Building, the Apex Building, the
Red Cross Building and the new
Post Office Building. In Phila-
delphia, McCloskey's firm was
successful in bidding for the new
Federal building, which started
out to be a $1,500,000 structure
and ended up as a $4,250, 900 job.
McCloskey at times has been
connected with Philadelphia's
big brick man, John B. Kelley.
Politically, Kelley and McClos-
key were co-leaders in the City
of Brotherly Love, but Of late
Kelley has not seen eye to eye
with Governor Earle of Pennsyl-
vania in the acute labor trou-
bles in Pennsylvania.
It. may also interest Washing
tonians to recall that most of the
landScaping and tree planting
done around some of the new
triangle buildings have been done
by firms in the suburbs of Phila-
delphia. McCloskey lives in those
same suburbs. There is a saying
in Philadelphia that many Of the
trees once in certain Philadelphia
suburbs are now in Washington.
GIVES IN CAMPAIGN
McCloskey helped finance the
Philadelphia city Democratic cam
paign of 1884, when the Demo
Gratis began to get the important
city jobs; they got control in 1886.
One freak result was Republican
S. Davis Wilson being elected
mayor by Democratic votes. Also
it will be recalled that for the
first time in half a century Penn.
sylvania gave its electoral vote
to a Democratic President.
