PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS GIVE SPOONING OPINIONS (Majority of Boys at Duke Admit They Spoon; Very- Few Girls Say They Do. Durham, May 10.—Recently four groups of psychology students at Duke University were asked that following questions: What is your estimate of the percentage of boys who spoon? Do you spoon? Is spooning desirable as a pre requisite for marriage? The instructor expressed the wish* that the students answer the questions, but it was left en tirely optional with them. No names were - signed to the papers and every in centive for asbolute honesty of convic tion was brought to bear. The answers to these questions by percentage were as follows; A group of .32 boys estimated that 71.5 per cent, of boys spoon; 1!) boys estimated !)4 yer cent; 38 boys estimated 85.5 per cent. Total estimate of boys who spoon made by "boys H2..3 per cent. A group of eleven girls estimated that 80 per cent of the boys spoon ; nine girls estimated 85 per cent; sixteen girls esti mated 74.7 per cent: making the total estimate by girls 796 per cent, or only 2.6 per cent less than the estimate by the boys. Total estimate of boys and girls on boys who spoon, 81.5 per cent. A group of .35 boys estimated that 08 per rent of the girls spoon; 19 boys es timated 74.2 per cent; 22 boys estimated 59.2 per cent, making the total by boys 07.1 per cent. A clas of 17 girls esti mated that 45 per cent, of tlie girls spoon ; nine girls estimated 02.2 per cent; eight girls estimated 00.6 per cent, mak ing the total estimate made by girls of girls who spoon. 54.7 per cent, or 12.4 per cent less than the estimate made by the boys. Total estimate of boys and girls on girls who spoon, 63.3 per cent. To the question: “Do you spoon?” 61, or 70 per cent of the boys in all classes answered, “Yes”; 18, or 20 per cent, answered “No”; five, or 5.7 per cent, answered "Have.” Three did not answer. Only ten girls, or 24.4 per eent answered “Yes;” 26, or 63.4 per cent answered “No”; and five, or 12.2 per cent gave no answer. . Seven boys expressed their opinion that spooning is desirable. Seventy six, or 91.6 per eent. declared that it is undesirable and three ignored the ques tion. Only two girls answered “yes” to this question, and 38, or 95 per eent ruled against it. Naturally, each student put more or less his own interpretation on the word “spoon.” The definition upon which the answers wers supposed to be based was “loving by physical contact.” The instructor requested that engaged per sons should not be counted in the esti mate, and the estimate intended to apply to an average group of girls. The estimate was taken in order to determine as nearly as possible the actual extent of this much-talked-of condition. . Living Room Contest This Week at Salisbury.

From the standpoint of possession of | natural properties for the transmission , of human speech without the accompany ing echoes and overhead vibrations usual j in open air auditoriums, the Charlotte amphitheatre has no equal in the United States, said Howard Southgate, of Chi cago, a leading dramatic authority of the< nation, who is directing the Mecklen burg pageant. The amphitheater is located in the ! heart of the city and only ten minutes’ walk from Independence Square. It is at the north end -of Independence Park and is quickly accessible by street car or automobile.

May 10.—Because jurors in other counties in the state get only $2 per day it is unlawful for the jurors serving in Rowan courts to get $.3 al though a law passed by the recent legis lature designates the latter figure as the proper pay for jurors in this county. When the jurors serving during the first week of the' May term of Superior Court went to get their money they found that a State law set the pay of jurors at $2 per day and the law carried a pro visor that this rate should not be changed by any county. The new law meant to give Rowan men a larger pay was introduced by Represenative' Rideoutte during the recent session of the legislature and be came a law without any one discovering that it conflicted with a statewide law.

(By the Associated Press) Memphis, May 11.—Using a large anchor attached to a fifty-foot chain as a hammer. United States engineers today will break the framework of the cabin of' the sunken steamer M. K. .Norman in the hope of releasing the bodies of some of the twenty-three persons who drowned when the vessel turned over and sank last Friday. Stationed at intervals down the river, crews of government boats will watch for the bodies which engineers are confident will be released. The cabin was definitely located last night after workers had broken up other parts of the steamer. Attempts to reach the hull of the vessel with expert divers failed because of the strong undercurrent which swept the divers far down the stream when they attempted to descend. Attempts to raise the hull of the steam er with chains engineers decided would require several days. They determined oil the plan of breaking of the super structure of the Norma has the most practicable method of reaching the disas ter victims. With Our Advertisers.

Robbins Under Displeasure of Law. Charlotte Observer. •T. L. Robbins, a Moorcsville youth, was arrested by federal officers yester day on charges of violating the Mann net, it being alleged that he accompanied Eima Rynls, a 10-yonr-old Halifax county girl, to South Carolina for im moral purposes. Robbins submitted to the charges, waived examination and posted $2,000 bond before W. S. Hug gins. U. S. commissioner here yesterday. Advices from Moorcsville are to the effect that the young mnn is of good family, also that in that community his difficulty is regarded more as a result of an ill-advised infatuation of youth than -senpade. The girl in the case is said to live in Halifax county, where the two became very much enamored of each other. The affair left the conventional paths, ac cording to his submission yesterday, and they crossed the s(ate line without the formality of marriage. The passage from one state to another brought the matter under federal jurisdiction and the de fendant is, therefore facing serious chn rges. PARKER R. ANDERSON IS SUED FOR DIVORCE Mrs. Anderson.
