Gatemen at the Terminal station are aghast today over the lengths the mountain republic has gone to abolish public kissing, and the further an nouncement that America may follow Switzerland's example The Swise government the other day passed a law prohibiting kissing in railroad stations and providing a heavy fine for each offense. Thus runs the Swiss law as posted in all stations: Considering abuses which have resulted, honorable strangers are requested not to kiss each other on platforms or trains Signed: The Society for the Protection of Girls Traveling Alone. "If they put this law over in Georgia they will heve to detail a platoon of police to enforce it at the Terminal station," said Gateman No. 1. "Why we can't keep them from get ting through the gates and continuing the pastime all the way down the stairs to the train sheds, let alone stop the kissing "Such a law would never work here. 150,000 CATHOLICS OF WHOLE WORLD HEAR GREETING FROM POPE VIENNA.

A second gateman called into the discussion looked at the matter phil osophically. "This anti-kissing is the idea of cranks and, like all their Ideas, im practicable. Kissing didn't start with this generation, and this generation is not going to abolish It. l.et these anti kissers take a walk down here on one of our big days and get an eye full of this kissing stuff.

According to the station's attaches, watching kissing matches Is lhe only excitement they have. its abolition would not only work a hardship on the traveling public, but would rob rail road employees of their one joy in life. It can be safely asserted that if any society for the protection of girls trav eling alone starts an antl-kfssing-in railroad-stations agitation in Atlant? they will find eight gatemen at the Ter minal station strenuous opponents.
