When it was shown that common towels spread disease we quickly discarded them in favor of individual or Paper ones. When it was found that drinking glasses or cups spread contagion, we adopted indi- vidual cups and installed expensive sterilizing ma- Bhinery where the old style containers were re- tained. But there is one place where all the evidence of ‘contagion has absolutely no effect, and that is upon tasckissing habits of the nation. Time and again has science come forward with the proof that liter-| ally millions of germs are transmitted daily through | kisses, that the average of 40,000 germs are present! in one osculatory caress. Yet there is no ap- preciable decrease in the number of kisses given and received in America. Americans just simply refuse t> discount the ro- mantic and emotional appeal of the kiss because of a few thousand germs, more or less. Kissing may not be particularly sanitary, but it seems to be emi- { sanitary science to a remarkable degree. In fact, if one may judge by the increase in “neck- ing” in our younger sets in particular (although the alder sets are not immune), the kiss is gaining in popularity over sanitation. would be oversanitation, which is vigorously op- posed,.either in morals, art, the drama or literature.
