SORE! GO UP AND SEE!

New Rochelle has another problem
on It's hands.
Beats all how things keep hap
pening up that way. First along the
inmates had a hard Job convincing
outaaders that the place wasn't
medicine, but q regular. honest and
truly, cross your heart town with
oops, and letter carriers. and stores
and everything. Then Eddie Foy.
the we'll known father. decided II
would be n good place to store his
family and choked the streets with
his children until the Board OF Trade
gave him q street to himself and as
signed q tTafnc cop to the thorough
fare. And Just a. the weary ofhciais
an1sAsd tabulatins the Foys along
osms George NJ Cohan and puts the
town back in the bush league with
thai 'Forty.fvs Minutes From
DFosdway' refrain.
Now It's the high cost Of kissing
that's bothering New Rochellers.
That's right. Go ahead and laugh.
But you wouldn't think 1t was so
funny II you had TO pay fifteen 0l5)
dollars for the privilege Of kissing
your best girl in public. Yes, sir.
that's what smacks are costing in the
open market In N. Rochelle right
now. At least that's what one ardent
swain contributed to the town treas
ury for the privilege OF demonstrate
Ing his 1915 model kiss in Stonelea
Park . few nights ago. And Acting
Judge Bixel. the man who placed
kissing beyond the reach Of the COM
mon people. let It be known that
couples brought before him charged
With spooning In a visible (and aud
ible) manner could expect no mercy
and very little change.
Think Of Il! Fifteen life size Amer
ican bucks for picking cherriesl And
In the month of June. too. Those
ominous rumblings you've been hear
ing for tho last few days may have
been thunder, but more likely they
were the howis Of protest that are
now going up all over New Rochelle.
Leading the grand chorus OF protest
are the proprietors OF tnstalment
houses. with preachers and jewellers
ueck-and-neck for second place. these
three classes OF citizens insisting that
Judge Bizers edict will eventually
put them in the bun line. Other clti-
Gems are worried for fear they will be
caught In the dragnet, because New
Rochelle has long been noted as one OF
tho kssng gest towns in this vicinity.
NO WONDER THEY'RE iNplG.
NANT UP THERE.
In fact. 1t is one OF the places where

plenitude of osculation. Seven eigh tbs
Of the men work In New York and
their wives and daughters follow them
half way to the station each morn
Ing, kissing them every few feet,
their fervency being readily UNDER
otandable when 1t becomes known
that the men use the New Haven
Railroad to get to and from the city.
The women are at the station when
they get homo at night to kiss them
aud find out II they've made any
stops. The young girls Of the town
are saying the meanest things about
Judge Bizel, and as for the older ones
.-the ones that are still uncalled
for-well, It's wonder his ears
haven't set fire to his straw hat.
An Evening World explorer made a
dash to New Rochelle to beg Judge
bizei to restore spooning TO the free
list. Expecting to find the author of
tho crool ultimatum a grouchy old
FELLOW, who had lived too long to re-
member there was such a thing as
romance, the reporter was surprised
TO meet man who was the opposite
In every respect. Judge Blzel is about
forty years old. has CHEEKY smile
and a Jovial manner, and looks like
tho last man who would attempt to
censor Daniel Cupids work.
Why. oh, why are you against
kissing?" he was asked.
II am not against it," he declared
laughingly. They've got me all
wrong on this thing"

In. Residents in the vicinity OF
Stonelea Park have complained so
much about the spooning at that place
that we had to take steps to remedy
the situation"
Didn't you ever spoon in the park
before you got married."
I'm not married." said the Judge.
"Aha" cried the reporter trium-
phantly lie couldn't help II. He was
so sure he had solved the reason for
the Judges action that he aha'd

explains everything"
