FINE FUN FOR FISHERMEN.

Wednesday was a banner day for
fishing, and five Paris men, N. A.
Moore, j. o. Marshall, Amos Turney,
Jr., VIM. G.. McClintock and Geo. M.
Hill, came home from trip to Lick
ing River with as fine string of
fish as one could desire. The fish
were white perch, bass and newlights
of unusually large size, some weigh
ing as much as four pounds.
The sport has been good all around
this spring. Several large bass have
been caught in the pool below the
Paris Milling Co.'S dam, while the
ponds and streams in the county
have also yielded good returns to the
patient angler.

NEW YORK PREPARING FOR POS
SIBLE AIR RAID.

NEW YORK, June 10.-Upon the
result of Photographic observations
obtained by army aviators who flew
over darkened New York the other
night, will be determined the question
of further darkening the city as a
precaution against possible German
air raids.
Electric signs and all lights ex-
'cept street lamps and lights In
dwelling were out that night by or
der of Police Commissioner Enright,
at the suggestion Of the War Depart
ment officials, and it was New York
darkest night in many years, not even
excepting the "Lightless Nights" dur
ing last winters fuel famine. Crowds
in the white light" district and at
the shore resorts took the lights out"
order good naturedly.
The main object of the airplane
observations, it is said, was to show
how far the lights permitted an
aviator familiar with the map to find
strategic points or places where
bombs would do the most damage.
Darkening of advertising and other
Examinations would be virtually
valueless in a raid unless street light
ing was discontinued some army Of
ficials said
Plans are being considered, it is
said, for the extinguishing of all
street lights and ordering window
shades drawn after dark
While the possibility of an air raid
is not considered to be great by Of
ficials, it is urged that all precau-
tons should be taken. Army officers
said that it was "far from impos-
sible" for German submarines now
lurking off the coast to assemble an
airplane and launch it for a raid on
cities.

Mortified Beyond Words By Thnness Herself
Bathing logs, Clever Maid Angles For "Big Catch"
and Secures 100000 Bridegroom

NEW YORK, June 10.-Have you
ever been at the seashore and
noticed the thin emaciated creature
in the three-piece bathing suit, as
she looks furitively about, with a try
to-look-happy, simpering smile upon
her face, while she dabbles in the
sand and splashes her ankles near
the shore?
You Internationally
But have you ever thought of how
unhappy and embarrassed she really
feels - of the modification and
chargin that beset her as she gazes
at her more fortunate sister, sur
rounded by admiring friends, with
her well-rounded, plump figure and
glowing, healthy complexion.
Maybe not-but listen!
The story is being told of one
bright girl, who for several years
had stood by as a lack-lustre sea
side flower" who made UP her mind
that she was going to overcome this
e'beanpole" condition and land" a
home and husband.
That she succeeded we'll is proven
by the fact that she left Miami, Fla,
last week after having listened to the
old, old, ever-new story and having
consented" to become bride of Mr.
-Four Million, of this city, Newport,
Bar Harbor, and elsewhere.
And this was how she did it:

SPRAYING CIRCLES" FOR FARM.
Frs.

Community cooperation in spray
ing, particularly in the control of
such diseases as potato late blight
and tomato leaf spot, is urged by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The department is suggest
ing to county agents and extension
pathologists the early organization of
such spraying "circles" to deal more
effectively this year with such de-
structive plant diseases. A commu-
nifty spraying outfit with a man and
team continuously employed through
out the season is both economical and
efficient, department officials say, and
proved successful plan in Vermont
and New York last year. In one New
York community the average spray
ing cost per acre for the season was
at low as IS cents, while the cost OF
one application averaged 10 cents
an acre. Detailed reports of the or
ganization and operation of the COM
munity spraying circles as they were
conducted in Vermont and New
York are being made available by
the department workers.

Having been detained at the police

charged with being a military Stacker.
is causing the local police the district
exemption boards, and United states
Marshal Fairy much concern, they be
ing as yet unable to secure any infor-
nation about the man. Havens was
arrested at No. 6i2 East Third street,
where he lived. At FIRST he stated that
he was too old TO register under the
draft act. When It was learned that
he was under 81 years OF age, he said
he had registered in various towns In
New Jersey. but all efforts to prove
the mans assertions have so far failed.
Although IT is the duty Of the District
Board to ascertain whether the man Is
registered. they have been unable TO do
so. owing TO Hsvens having given sew
eral names in various places where he
lived. 10 is thought that the man will
be taken to Fort Dupont until final set
tlement is made OF his case.

EXEMPT FROM SERVICE

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, May 22.-Is a. notary
public a state oflcer and as such en-
titled 10 exemption from the selective
service act? This question was passed
upon by the district exemption board at
Dover yesterday afternoon.
Charles D. Alice and William n. De-
Witt, notaries public. had appealed from
the decision OF their local boards, which
have put them In Glass 4. and, accord
ing to the opinion OF A. B. Magee, legal
adviser to and member Of the district
exemption board, these men are entitled
to be placed in Glass 3, Division A.
Allee's claim was considered the more
important as a test case, for he received
his appointment from Governor Town
send one month ago. He Is unmarried.
In his opinion MIR Magee quoted a
number Of authorities, tending to show
that a notary public is q public ofilcer
and therefore entitled 10 exemption
For this reason the decision OF the local
board was reversed.
IL Is likely that opinions will be asked
in this matter from both the Attorney
General and the Adiutant General OF the
