For two feet is the recognized
length of the kiss which has been ex
amined and passedby this august
body.
In taking two feet of kissing the
camera crank turns four times. This
-o-
exposes 32 separate pictures. It re
quires six seconds to throw the cen
sored kiss on the. screen.
Quite a while and a good deal of
work it took to standardize the
"movie kiss." But it is fully expected
tha tall devotees of the film who en

new program.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF 8,000,000 WOMEN
STRUCK FOR A DAY
"No, it was NOT a bluff!" answered
Mrs. Whitehouse with much vigor.
"We were very, very much in earnest,
indeed.
"But the mere threat" and here
Mrs. Whitehouse gave a mischievous
chuckle at the recollection "to ask
the women of the country to stop at
home for only one day has so fright
ened the men thatwe decided that we
have gained our point, and this is
that:
" There can be no home except as
woman takes her place outside as
well as inside it
"Almost one-sixth of all the manu
facturing and mechanical work of the
country would cease were we to go
back to the home. We make all the
clothes made by hand that your wives
and children wear. Inside the fac

silk and wool. We weave 48 3-4 per

use for your hourly comfort We
make 47 per cent of your cigars.
"In the great iron and steel indus
tries for every 1,000 men that go
forth to their day's work, 62 women

stone. We work in blast furnaces and
metal works. More than ninety times

Bluntly, I put this question to Mrs.
Norman D. R. Whitehouse, New York
society leader, wife of a Wall street
millionaire banker and an ardent suf
fraget It was from the imaginative
brain of Mrs. Whitehouse that has
sprung the idea that the 8,000,000
women workers of the country should
go on strike for ONE day just to
prove to the men that woman's place,
after all is NOT in the home, and
that they should therefore be given
the right to vote!
