Show FIRECRACKERS FAIL TO STOP SPOONING IN THE PARK Members of tho city police department depart-ment and others were considerably amused about noon today when tho blissful dreams of a youthful couple seated on a bench at the southwest corner of the city hall park, wero somewhat roughly disturbed by the exploding of a bunch of firecrackers under their place of reDose. The couple who, judging from their actions, ac-tions, had forgotten that the moon is the only really approclatlve witness of "spooning," occupied tho bench, according ac-cording to the police, and "spooned" for nearly two hours, undismayed by the gaze of passing pedestrians and tho lone occupants of other benches In the park. By 11:30 a. m., when the firecrackers firecrack-ers were exploded, tho officers had become so nervous through watching the lovers that they applauded the act, thinking that the love affair would be broken up. Their hope3, however, wero shattered, as the explosion ex-plosion did nqt foaze the couple on the bench. A few minutes later, the municipal court judge, passing tho bench on his way to his office in the city hall, was halted by the shout, "There's a young couple looking for you," from the police chauffeur. "I'll be at the office any time," was his answer and the young lady, taking the hint, called out, "Well be over after awhile." At last accounts the judge was still waiting and tho police desk sergeant was still nervous. |
