* Roadside Spooning 9 Still a Dark Mystery After Interview With Evans
By WALTER D. HICKMAN. “What is roadside spooning. Mr. Prosecutor I asked Prosecutor William Evans. -Now, I say this Is a serious matter, said Mr. Evans. •T know it is,” I replied. ‘I see that you have decided to prosecute roadside spooners and auto joy riders. ’ The prosecutor smiled. “I Just want to find out what rights a feller has under the law in an automobile." “I will not be Interviewed along those lines." snapped the prosecutor. Putting on my best smile. I took a bunch of new courage and asked, “lell me what is roadside spooning Please, I want to tell the world all about it.” PROSECITOR LOOKS SEKIOIS. The prosecutor looked serious. “Since the first story came out on this thing, it has been the talk of tho town,” confessed the prosecutor. “That Isn't the question." I answered. “I want to know what's what." Then the prosecutor said. “Listen to ing to me and complaining of spooners me. There have been many people comin automobiles at night along the country road. They have protested against certain sights along the road which have embarrassed them as they have passed. 1 told the members of tl Horsethief Detective Association that 1 would cooperate with them in correcting these conditions.” “But the first story stated that you were going to prosecute the spooners, I reminded the prosecutor. “I stated that I would co operate with the detective association," said Mr. Evans. DEMANDS TO KNOW PUNISHMENT. I made up my mind that T was going to find out what the legal punishmen. was in cases of “roadside spooning.” I have seen some regular Romeos nnd Juliets perform in some of our city parks this summer, and during my walks through certain parks I never have seen a copper try to prevent a gentlpman from kissing a companion at hts side. I suppose that such actions, if they transpire in an automobile at night along a country road, would constitute the new crime, “roadside spooning " I noticed that Mr. Evans was taking the matter seriously (* do not possess an auto but the prosecutor doesi. but since 1 had made a vow to Interview the prosecutor on this important question I determined to stand by my origiual plans. "But. Mr. Prosecutor," I argued. ”is Just a wee kiss barred. Suppose that a chap should kiss his best girl and theu drive away? Is that barred.” MIST MOVE ON AFTIR KISSING. The prosecutor laughed and said: ‘lt they kiss and then move on I guess it will be all right." “Now 1 know my rights.” I yelled Joyfully as I prepared to leave. “Remember I have not been interviewed,” said the prosecutor. “Oh. yes, you have.’ I replied as I hastened out of his office. I then hiked up to the law library and asked Mrs. Wolfe, th librarian, for Mr. Webster'* b’gge-t book. 1 was dire-ted to the dictionary. 1 turned the pages and found the word “kiss.” Mr. Webster, who 1s an authority on everything, defines a kiss as "A form of affectionate salutation expressed by the contact with pressure of the lips.”
Susie Jones Quits Typewriter for School Teaching CHICAGO. July 28.—Susie .Tories, who has been pounding a typewriter for four years, is going back to srhool teaching. The reason Is that Susie- some thousands of her In Chicago alone, according to City School Superintendent Peter Mortenson- has lost tier Job in the general business depression, or at least part of her pay. She remembers that sim-e 1917 there has been a great scarcity of school ma'ams to bring up the young Chicago idea. She knows that teaching salaries have advanced 25 per cent., which runs the stenographic wage scale pretty close. Asa result there has been a rush from office to school. The regular teaching position practically all are filled now and five hundred substitutes are on the waiting list for winter. Elementary teachers get a minimum salary of $1,200. Instead of the $775 minimum of 1917.

Said I to myself, “If a fellow should miss, yguess the offense would be a kissmiss.” Then I saw that Mr. Webster had heard of such a word. According to Webster a “kissmiss” is “a small variety of grape used in Persia for the manufacture of Shiraz wine." I'll bet a dolar that Bill Evans is contemplating prosecuting those who miss a kiss under the prohibition or blind tiger statutes. Oh. this is getting too deep for me. Just use your own judgment. Local Man Arrested; Wanted at Marion Alfonzo A. Topp, 41. 321 West ThirtyFirst street, was arrested today by detectives and is charged with being a fugitive from justice. Detectives Manning and White say Topp is wanted at Marion on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.
