« SPOONING I19-APPROVED AS “AN'OUTDOOR SPORT” Practice of Young Couples in Pub- lic Buses Called “Heritage 0ld as World.” “NEW YORK, February 28.—Spoon- iag by young couples atop 5th avenue buses has been officially recognized as a legitimate outdoor sport. .Sheriff David H. Knott, in e state- ment made in reply to an anonymous correspondent who complained of. the practice, declared that it seemed to him that “a man must be either a crabbed old bachelor or one who has been disappointed in love who will seek to invoke official aid in putting an end to a heritage of Nature as old as the world.” “Certainly there is nothing clan- destine in spooning atop a bus,” he added. “My advice to men who can- meeting of minds and eves, and in some cases lips, on a 5th avenue bus, is that they ride in the subway. A trip or two in the rush hours there In the subway thrown together indiscriminately, and troduction or acquaintance they are compelled to occupy about the same proximity to each other that the lovers do on buses—sometimes more. this attention is forced upon them, and instead of billing and cooing one Carried by French Planes in 2 Years PARIS, February 27.—Freach airplanes emgaged in commer- eial service traversed a distance of mearly 1,200,000 miles during 1919 and 1920, and carried 6,607 passengers and 153 tons of mail, Col, Saconney, director of aerial service, deciared yestemiay to ‘members of a committee from semate.

King, president of the little republic, has gone to America to ne- gotiate. _In commenting on the subject the Nuevo Mundo speculates upon the position of Spanish colonies along the African coast if such a project should be carried out. The newspaper argues that an S American loan would be the first step toward the establishment of the United States on African soil, and suggests that, owing to their perilous position, Spanish Guinea, Rio de Oro and Fernando Po might be sold with advantage to the United States. As an alternative to such a sale. the newspaper says, it might be well | to ask where the rumored American- Liberian agreement was leading, be- cause “Spanish _possessions there would be indefensible if an American naval base should be established in Liberia, and Spain would maintain her sovereignty only with the per- mission of Washington.” HEADS DOCTORS’ CONGRESS, Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago been elected president of Congress of American Phy Surgeons, which will meet in Wash- |y ington, D.
