AMERICA’S LATEST
NON-STOP KISSING CONTEST. NEW YORK, September 6. Having at some time or another .produced champions in pie-eating, marathon dancing, sleeping, drinking, hand-walking, hopping and every othe" sort of freak entertainment, America is now searching fo-r a non-stop kissing champion. There were twenty-two starters in an event called the international kissing marathon, in New York, and three of these were still kissing when the contest closed after a session of one hour six and a half minutes. To-morrow, the six-pnffy-lipped survivors will start off again in the effort to find the nonstop kissing champion. The contestants, some of them strangers to each other, began the marathon on a platform. When they showed little sign 0 f exhaustion after thirty minutes, they were herded, still in a dreamy-eyed embrace, to the stage of a theatre. One couple, Mr and Mrs Newcomb, both seventy years of age, gave up after lasting nineteen minutes. “Anything gets tiresome after one has been married fifty-two years,” remarked Mrs Newcomb.
