Encourage Spooning; Build
Lovers’ Lanes Urges Dr.
Hunter.

United Press Dispatch.
Denver, July 18.—“Spooning
is no crime. It should be en
coilfaged. The city should pro
vide long shady lanes and bench
es for lovers- John J- Alexander
of Chicago doesn’t know what he
is talking about.”
Thus valiantly does Dr. Paul
S. Hunter of the state board of
health come to the defense of the
love smitten. He denies every
allegation that Alexander made
when he addressed 500 young
women recently in an interna
tional Sunday school conference
and said spooning is degrading.
He said girls should not allow it.
Dr- Hunter proves his contention
by quoting Shakespeare.
“The bard of Avon says that
all the world loves a lover id it
is equally true that au the
world loves a spooner—especial
ly women. Spooning is a natur
al recreation
V .vigor of adolescence refuses to
\ fcpoon. If a married man does
not spoon with his wife, he is
busy spooning with some other
;woman. Cessation of spooning
is the sure mark of the begin

i riing of the end of matrimonial j
felicity.
“Spooning is the hand maid of
matrimony and marriages pro
duced by contracts are prosaic
and do not .‘take’ as often as
those produced by spooning.
Love making and spooning are
the themes upon which the
greatest poets revelled. Had
Shakespeare written only the
balcony scene in Romeo and Ju
liet it would have made im
mortal- I have just completed
a study of that play, the greatest
spooning drama ever written by
man and acknowledged by crit
ics to be one of his finest produc
tions.
“Any man who reads the bal
cony scene from Romeo and Ju
liet and is not carried away by
its sentiment has something ,
wrong with him both mentally
and physically- 1 believe that in
1 stead of trying to stop spooning ,
! it should be encouraged by all
| men who have the public inter
| est at heart. The city should fur-j
! nish long, shady walks for lov
1 ers and benches in the parks for
young people to spoon to their
heart’s desire.
“Women by their nature de
mands spooning. She is made (
to love and be loved and if her
lover is lukewarm she is not sat
isfied.”

Professor Recited Sadly.
One day a college professor. going
to his olase, came across one of his
students who had just fallen down.
Asking him how he fell, the student
replied, “Notwithstanding." Telling
the anecdote a short time later ths
professor said . “I met Mr. Junior the
other day, and he made a very bright
remark. He had juBt fallen down, you
know; and, when I asked him how It
happened, he said. ‘Nevertheless.’ ~—
