Kansas, May 20—(United Press)^W illiam Allen White, famous editor of Emporia, attributes the increase in crime to "loose talk of scientists", exemplified in the recent statement of a psychologist that each kiss shortens life three minutes. White was Hie recipient of a sharp reprimand horn Dr. C. J. Elmore, professor of biology at William 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 Revolutionary Wai . Dr Elmore lemarked that White was "as loose in his statements as he accuses scientists of being” and with a great mass of figures proved, to his own satisfaction, that White would have had to kiss ’five times every four minutes, including Sunday and holidays, sixteen hours a day." To which White replied: “Time spent indulging in osculatory exercises passes quicker than it 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 Hveimr thrill than grandma's kiss whe n he left home for college and to conquer the big, wide world".
