HIGH COST OF LOVING

A Justice of the Peace has fixed
the following schedule of fines for
lovers, in order to break up love
making in the park at Haverford, Pa.
Pa:
The swain who slides his arm
around the waist of maiden and is
caught in the act by the police pays
a fine of five goodly "bucks" hugging
with both arms is $40 a hug; the kiss
$25, the long and lingering soul kiss
costs not less than $50, and if the
swain be daring enough to combine
the kiss and hug he whacks up SIS
for his nerve if caught.
1t is said Jha. this bailiwick is one
of the few salf-supporting precincts
of its kind in he land. Last year
more than $4,000 was paid over to
the township treasury in fines. 1t is
predicted that this year the amount
will be higher.

UNPOPULARITY
is CAUSING THE PRESIDENT Sc.
RIoUS TROUBLE SINCE
HIS RETURN
MAY SIDE TRACK HIS JONAH
His Resignation Would Relieve Em.
barrassment and Give Gen.
eral Satisfaction.
LAY SIDE TRACK HIS JONAH

Washington, July 14.-President
Wilson may seem to be most interest
ed in getting the peace treaty and
league of nations ratified, but he is
nevertheless diving deeply into the
domestic situations, political, econom
ic and financial, which have grown
acute during his absence.
The president has been told that
his administration was severely criti-
cised while he was in Europe, criti-
cised for many powers exercised by
cabinet officers and other subordin-
ates, and that the people are expect
ing him to set his official house in
order.
First and foremost among the deli
cate problems which stare Mr.. VII
son in the face is controversy over
the postmaster general, Albert Sid
ney Burleson. 1t would be surprising
indeed, if the president fatty asked
the postmaster general to resign. He
has always given ear to Mr.. Burle-
sons observations, and no man in the
cabinet has spent more of his time
talking or thinking about the politi-
cal fortunes or destiny of Woodrow
Wilson than the postmaster general.
Of course, Mr.. Burleson's oppo-
nents, and they are numerous, would
be glad if the president asked for the
resignation of the postmaster general
but this is unlikely. What seems
more plausible is that Mr.. Burleson
himself will offer to withdraw from
the cabinet.
Even then Mr.. Wilson might con-
slider that he had even more import
ant work for the postmaster general
than managing the postoffice depart
ment-he might appoint him on one
of the numerous international mis-
sions which are being set up in this
country and abroad to carry out the
provisions of the peace treaty, and
to meet the reconstruction needs of
Europe.

IT'S GOOD OLD
SUMNER TIME
Everybody Agrees For Once That 1t
Is Hot Enough For All.

Beginning Sunday, the hottest
spell of the season made living con-
ditions intolerable for many people
here and elsewhere. The days
were hot and the nights but little
cooler. Sunday the mercury reached
SO in the shade and Monday and Tues
day it hovered around the same
point. Yesterday a light shower in
the forenoon, improved the temper
ature little in the city. Monday a
shower fell between here and Nasn-
vile. The prediction for local
thunderstorms yesterday, with lower
temperature was verified The pre-
dictiOn is for probably fair weather
today and that means more hot
weather.
In the meantime read our advertis-
ing columns for dealers in straw hats,

OPPONENTS OF CLoCK.FIXERS
FAIL TO GET TWo-THIRDS
IN HOUSE h
LINES DIsREcARDED
Members From Agricultural Districts
Favor Repeal, Urban Repres-
sentatives Against 1t.

Washington, July 15.-The day
light saving plan, SO called, under
which the clocks of the country
were turned forward an hour in
March and moved back in October,
will be continued indefinitely.
This was assured when President
Wilson's veto of the $4,000, 900
agricultural appropriation bill be-
cause of its rider repeating the act,
the house refused by a vote of PAT
to l85 to pass the measure over the
Presidents veto.
Strength mustered by repeal ad.
Yocates We're eight votes less than
the necessary two-thirds of the mem
bership present. Party lines were
disregarded in the voting, members
from agricultural districts-the source
OF most of the opposition-favoring
passage of the bill as originally epac-
ted, with representatives from the
urban districts opposed.
House advocates of the repeal said
tonight after the agricultural bill had
been sent back to the committee for
elimination of the repeal provision
that no further effort would be made
at this session, perhaps not in this
Congress, which continues in exis-
tence until March, 1921, to wipe out
the daylight saving act. There was
no indication, they said, that they
would be able to strengthen their
forces.
Senate leaders also stated that no
enort would be made on their part
to pass the appropriation measure
ovr the Presidents veto.

Hardest Rain For Years Came Yester-
day Afternoon at One O'clock
With Thunder and Lightning
MANY BUSINESS HOUSES FLOODED
Sewers Quickly Filled, Streets Covered
and Water Spread to the Floors
of Many Buildings

Yesterday afternoon the city was
visited by cloudburst, with a severe
thunderstorm. The rain fell in q
deluge for half an hour or more. The
torrents quickly filed the cutters
overflowed the sewers and in increas-
ing volume spread into the business
houses in the low section of the city,
1t was impossible for pedestrians to
get across the streets in many parts
of the city. On Virginia street the
situation was worst. At the corner
of Eighth street the feed and grain
store of T. M. Woodbridge was flood
ed to the depth of one foot. His loss
is very heavy as much of his most
costly stock was piled in grain sacks
on the floor. He was unable to es-
innate his damage until an inventory
was taken.
The same volume of water that
flooded him also covered the floor Of
Ducker's carriage shop and other es-
Establishments adjoining and found an
outlet on Ninth street through Gees
grocery through which it swept in a
flood six inches deep.
The furniture store of o. Reach on
the corner of Ninth caught some of it
in the back door, but the water disap-
peared in the elevator shaft and did
not cover the floor. Waller & Trice
on Main street had Is inches of wat
er in the cellar and heavy damage re-
suited to goods stored there.
At the corner Of Tenth and Vir-
ginia streets, the sewer was made
quate to.take the water and the grain
store of the Cayce-Yost Company
was flooded with a few inches, but
the damage was comparatively small.
The Public Library basement was
The Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 191?-19??, 1919-07-16

filed to the level of the ground out,
side, about four feet.
All of the dwelling houses around
the Imperial Tobacco company where
the Fourth street sewer crosses the
railroad, were submerged to depth
of two or three feet and many of the
occupants suddenly found themselves
in water deep enough for swimming
The volume of water quickly found
its way into the river and by o.
clock the waters had passed away
but leaving many cellars filled.
The rain was general over the
county, but not as hard as it was in
the city. At Gracey it was a fine
rain with no bad results and the
same report came from Crofton and
on further north.
At Edwards Mill and other points
east of town the storm in the city was
also felt with much force. Crops are
under water in many lowlands and
washed up.
The rain extended all over the
South end of the county, but the ex-
tent is not known as the telephone
lines were in trouble and but meagre
reports were received up to the press
hour.
So far as is known no damage was
done by lightning, though the storm
was the worst of the season.
It is estimated that not less than
six inches of rain fell within about
half an hour and the ground was
hard and dry and it simply flushed
the surface without soaking in.
The gas plant was temporarily put
out of commission by water putting
out the fires, but the trouble was
soon remedied.

Rahx,. BODY Washed Up.

During the rain that fell yesterday
the body of newly born negro child
was washed out of the shallow hole
IN which it had been buried in the
ward of cabin near the L. & N. rail-
road. The house was occupied by
a colored family named Spencer.
Coroner Lovan made an investigation
and suspicion soon pointed to negro
gifS found in bed and further iHves-
tigY Ysion confirmed the belief that it
was her child. No arrests have been
made. The police are working on
the case.

BERLIN. - (By Mail) How are
Americans treated in Berling'
This question has been frequently
asked-and the answer. at present Is
that they are unmolested, and for the
most part courteously received.
For a time, II is true, American OIL
GERS travelling were counselled to get
into mufti, rainer tnan take chances ot
melting SOME hothead OF trouble. In
the case OF couriers, multi is worn on
some trips. but tnose coming and going
between Paris and Berlin appear in
uniform and 6-e rarely annoyed,
though occasionally someone tries to
crowd on a sidewalk or gives the OH
Ger an ugly look. As for civilians
there are only a few here-mainly
ewspapermen-and they IRE treated
respectfully.
This represents the individual situa-
tion regarding Americans.
As for the United states as whole
and American citizens as a whole, there
Is still prevalent some propaganda or
an unpleasant sort.
President Wilson has been condemned
because the peace treaty did not de-
velop according 10 the way i'm which
the German people felt his fourteen
points should have been interpreted.
But there was little Of personal attack
against the President. and only here
and there articles with an anti-Ameri-
can tinge.
However, in the last few days, a
propaganda ovement-somewhat lin
tied, but nevertheless more or less per
sislent-has sprung up. one hears OF
late that really no American food is
coming in" though it IS. Of course,
we'll known to the government that
money was put up by Germany even
before the presentation Of the treaty,
intended to pay for certain American
government supplies. Not in all cases,
however, is there complaint that Amer
lea has failed TO send what it agreed.
on the contrary, one hears now and
then hat the government is passing
on its old army bacon, and saving the
newer better American bacon for the
guards or for other purposes. In any
case. the average Berliner doesn't over
