The recent hot weather scorched the pea
crop in Shawnee county to such an extent
that this vegetable is scarce today on the
local market. 1t will soon be necessary to
import peas from Colorado.
The first locally grown tomatoes of the
season are on sale at Topeka stores. The
supply is SO small, however, that they are
expensive. Tomatoes sell at the rate of
30 cents for six-pound basket

"LET LOVERS KISS IN PARKS"
SAYS PITTSBURG POLICE CHIEF

Why should not the course of true
love run smooth? Why should spoon
ing be interfered with? If all the world
loves lovers, why should they be forced
to do their spooning, their love-making,
under cover? 1t is the business of any
city to see that lovers are given a
place to spoon in And because 1 was
once a lover I am determined that for
once the young people of Pittsburg
shall be given every opportunity to
spoon to their hearts content, writes
Thomas s. McQuaide, Pittsburg's super
1ntendent of police, in the Washington
Post
And where else should they spoon,
where else should they kiss, but in the
PUBIC parks? Our parks will be trans
formed every evening into spoonhold-
erS where the true lovers can talk their
sweet noth1ngs, can embrace each 9TH
er, and do all the airy trif1ing lovish-
nesSes that comprise a courtship. But,
or course, 1t is necessary that true low
ers be distinguished from the masher.
The former shall not only be welcom-
ed, but encouraged to spoon. The lat
ter will be given free ride in a police
wagon.
It's love that makes the world go
round, and it is spooning-that is, love-
mak1ng-that is the greater part of
love- And young people should be
made to feel that they are doing moth
ing to be ashamed of when they frank
ly spoon.
The more open 1ovemaking there is
under the carelessly careful eye of a
chaperon, the less secret vice there is
apt to be.
Lovers VS.. Washers.
What harm is there in a young cou-
pie going into the park of an afternoon
or evening, seating themselves on a.
bench, and spooning? What if the
young fellow does put his arm around
the girls waist or even if he embraces
and kisses her? There is no wrong in
that Then why should they be driven
out of the park, or perhaps arrested,
for doing something that the magi5-
trate and the chief of police and every
body else did when they were young
and do still, too?
AS 1 understand it, the parks are
the Fairgrounds of the peopIe-mostIy
the common people who haven't meansI
to provide for themselves the expensivel
amusements of the wealthy. The parks
should be made as attractive as posi-
BILE, especially to the young people.
For if you provide decent, clean amuse-
ment for your boys and girls they are
not nearly SO likely to go wrong.
Our park policemen have been in
to use their discretion in de-
termining between true lovers and
Washers. We have 25 old, experienced
park men, who have been there forI
years. They know the difference be-
tween true lovers and a masher every
time. These men were young oncel
themselves and they have not forgot
ten the days of their own spooning.
They have been told that they are tol
let the decent lovers alone, that when
they hear the sound that may reason
ably lead them to suppose that somel

| one has been kissed, they are to look
| out of the corner of their eye to see
whether the man in the case is the
| right sort. If he is, then the police
chaperon is to pass on and the lovers
may go on with the good work.
Must Be True to One Girl.
| OF course, we take precautions, but
We try not to have them too apparent.
All our benches are along the roadWays
and not far away from the light. All
our parks are well lighted. A bashful
lover may be as averse to kissing in the
open as the masher, but he soon gets
| over this state of mind when he sees
everybody's doing it, too!
No man will be allowed to spoon
with a different girl every night, nor
will he be allowed to enter the park
with one girl and leave with another.
How do our men tell whether true
lovers or Washers are doing the hug
ging and kissing? Why, in this way.
Take Schenley park, for instance.
There are three entrances to it. At
each entrance are stationed policemen
trained, experienced men. Those fell
lows can tell almost at glance wheth-
er a young man is bringing his regu-
lar girl to the park or whether he is
the sort that brings in a different one
each evening. The masher is turned
away from the entrance and is not
permitted to enter. If he does get
through, the policemen watching the
benches will get him. If that sort is
caught misbehaving, they are bundled
out of the park in one Of the police
automobiles and are fneu in the morn
ing. Repetition means jail sentences
and workhOuSe terms.
No. haven't issued any instructions
to the park policemen as to what sort
of love talk is permissible. That is left
to their discretion. Lovers all say
things that sound silly to the caves
dropper, but we allow for that, Sill
ness is not sin.
Roughly speaking, my rules are three
in number, as follows:
Rule 1. No man will be permitted to
bring a different girl to the park each
night.
Rule 2. Policemen must wink to
themselves and look the other way
when they hear the sound of a kiss
between true lovers.
Rule 3. The girl who does not want
to be kissed must do more than say
family, please DON'T
What about the girl who fuses and
says that she doesn't want to be kiss
ed? Well, that is a delicate problem,
but our men are told to go slow and
be sure that the girl means it before
they interfere. You know girls have
that habit, and yet when the man re-
Trains from the kiss they get mad.
I firmly believe that our liberal atti-
tude toward spooners will do much to
improve the morals of the young peo-
pie of the city. have a great sympa-
thy with lovers, and this year determin-
ed that all bars should be let down
and that they should go as far as
they like within reasonable bounds of
decency. Spooning is the birthright of
the young. I am with the spooners
heart and soul.

spring. Much dross will have to be
cleared away In the process, much
vulgarity and senselessness will have
TO give place to a saner, a finer ideal.
What then is rag time? Mr.
Louis Hirsch, a we'll known composer
of such music, has recently declared
that the essence OF rag time Is the
mixture of two rhythms' MT. Frank
Kldson, In Groves Dictionary Of
Music defines rag time aB broken
rhythm and it may be added that
in American slang to rag melody
is to syncopate normally regular
tune.
Rag time then, may be said 70
be strongly syncopated melody SD
perimposed on q strictly regular ac-
compartment. and 1t Is the combina-
tion of these two rhythms that gives
rag time its character.
"Nor must the words of rag time
songs be forgotten; they must not be
contemporary dismissed as mean
ingless rubbish. They may be any
thing as llterature-inoeed, they
often cannot be said to be either
sense or grammer-but for all that
they arc an interesting study In the
fitting of verbal to q musical pat
tern. No one in his senses tries TO
hear the words of rag time song
with a view to understanding their
meaning; but any one can hear
enough of them to see how the me-
tres and rhyme-schemes emphasize
and increase the rhythm OF the
music"
