The Louisville Times of Saturday,
in discussing Women's Clubs, has
this TO say Of Hopkinsville:
THE HOPKINSvILLE LEAGUE.
Interest in the Woman's Civic

thing at this time. Its Committee

but not more so than the one work
ing on lines laid down by the Nation.

suitable weather is to see Hopkins

new pin. for the Clean-up.day Com
mittee has been formed and in turn
is forming plans directly opposed to
accumulated dirt or rubbish.
The league was addressed at its
last meeting by Mrs. Frank Steeg,
of Kansas City. who told of civic
work done by mission women.
A recent visit from Miss Fanny
Rawson, of the State Library Board,
and of the Library Extension Com.
mittee of the Kentucky Federation,
was very gratifying to the club mas

is responsibility. elected her praise.
This approval extended alike to the
Librarians work. the exterior and
of the building and the gen.
eral management.
Miss Rawson, who is making her
annual visits to the public libraries
Of the State, gave to the Hopkins
Vile people much useful information
about the work and scope of the Ii

VAN HOOSE CONCERT

The interest in the Van Hoose con-
cert, which will be given in Hollands
Opera House on Thursday night, the
18th, is daily increasing, and the
prospects for a large attendance are
fine. 1t has been long time since
this city has had the opportunity of
hearing such singer as Mr.. Van
Hoose. 1t is an opportunity that
comes to US only once in very great
while.
Mr.. Van Hoose in private letter
to President w. S. Peterson. who is
responsible for bringing him to this
city, says: Feature the operate
part of the program strongly. Let
your people know that they are to
see real grand opera with costumes
and action" This does not me an
that the rest of the program will be
of an inferior nature, for each num-
Der is from the very best composers,
and has been sung by the artists of
the land. The operate selections
will be given from 1.-The Bohemians, ="
and from "Cavalleria Rusticana. "
The selections are both very dra-
matte. and will be highly pleasing to
the audience.

RED TAGS FOR vI0LAToRs.
Detroit Police Department Adopts
Check in Traffic Regulations.

In it's effort to further improve traf-
fic conditions, the DAtroit police de-
partment has issued red tags to be car
ried by those patrolmen whose duty
it is to specially look after the observa-
ton Of the traffic ordinance by motor
lists.
The tag bears the following heading:
You are violating the traffic ordinance
as indicated by the check mark below.
This notifies you to have the same cor
rected within forty-eight hours or
complaint will be made in court. :"
Then follows list of twenty mine vio-
lations, which are the ones. according g
to the police department. which occur
most frequently.
In front of each of the enumerated
violations there is a blank space, and
when the patrolman finds a car which
is violating the rules he checks the
violation enumerated in the list. Then
the tag Is attached to the offender
car and the patrolman records in his
notebook the license number of the
car and the nature of the violation. A
few days later he or some other traffic
man investigates the cases they have
noted in their reports, and in case the
recorded violation has not been correct
ed the matter is reported to the court
| for further action.

After brief stop at Portabello we
again retraced our tracks to the fork,
where we turned into the private gate
way and, turning to the left. we con-
tinued our journey in the direction of
Great Mills. At the next fork in the
road. in the center of which was a
frame house. we selected the left fork
by reason of its being the most trav
eled and after a run of two miles
through almost deserted woodland
came to cross road, with a small
frame house right at the edge of the
road to the left.

We stuck to the state road for sew

the odometer Of the machine regis
tered 627 miles we turned sharply to
the right over narrow. sandy road
through the woods. The road was not
an inviting one, but as Piney Point was
the objective point at that time we
necessarily were forced to take it,
After a run of FIVE miles we pulled into
the quaint little settlement of Valley

row road, turning to the left with the
telephone wires and passing a large
store and house on the turn at the end
of the road. Valley Lee was 67.S miles
from the National Capital.
Passing a church and large cemetery
on the right we motcred through the
sandy stretch of winding roadway and
descended slight grade. at the bot
tom of which was a ford. Splashing
water in every direction as we mo-

to the right at a store. On the opposite
