Lexington, Ky. April 4-Strict
enforcement of the laws regard
ing prohibition. gambling and pis-
tol toting and launching of cam
paign against automobiles with
drawn blinds along country high

Judge Kerr, in his charge to the
new grand jury 1--WE thought
when prohibition became effec-
tive there would be crime de-
crease" said the Judge. Sometime
in the future that may be, but it
does not exist now. There is
some reason for it. There was
never law as much violated as
the prohibition law. Men violate
it who could not be induced to
violate any other law. Men who
never took drink in their lives
will go further to get one now
than they would co escape from
the penitentiary."

TWO men FAINT

Home Brew Makers and Others
Whose Morals Are Below
Par Scored by Evangelist

Cincinnati, April +Those peo-
pie who believe that money is ev-
erything in lifcs-who get all they
can and "can" all they get-had
their beliefs shattered and hungto
the four wine at the Sunday tab
ernacle yesterday afternoon.
Likewise, those who are careless
in their personal habits and their
personal cleanliness and whose
morals are not up to the standard
that has been set for them.
Makers and drinkers of "home
brew" and those who believe beer
has medicinal qualities also were
made targets for disillusionment,
for Billy Sunday opened up with
his heavy calibre guns, centering
his attack upon those things,
which, he said, helped to democrat
ize the world.
1t was a mans sermon for men
the third of his Sunday after
noon services for men onIy-and
was full Of facts, figures and sta
stistics, and plain talk about the
many things that Mr.. Sunday de-
clared must he eliminated or cor
rccted if the efficiency of man is
to be increased and the standards
of the world made better.
Two men in the audience faint
ed under the stress of emotion
aroused by Mr.. Sundays vivid
portrayal of the harm caused by
social evils and his exhortations
Of his hearers to live the right
kind of life.
One man seated in the choir
section at the rear of the plat
form, was crying softly at the
height OF the sermon. when he
suddenly keeled over in his chair.
He was removed to the emergen
cy hospital at the end OF the tab
ernacle and revived.
Another man, who was seated
near the edge of one of the sec
tions in the main part of the ia
bernacle,WaS assisted outside the
building by patrolmen, who had
noticed his hysterical condition.
He recovered after he had walk
ed around in the open air for a
few minutes on the arms Of two
patrolmen.
Mr.. Sunday offered his sermon
yesterday as THE Devils Boom
erang," or "Hot Cakes Off the
Griddle." Going in his best form,
he started early with his plain

a village near Pittsburg. tie was
a cousin of the RowanS through
the Barclay family of Pennsyl-
vania. One, of Fosters sisters,
charlotte, who had a beautiful
Voice and musical talent of her
own, died at 10, while she was
visiting the Rowans in Louisville
at the home across the street
from the Catholic Cathedral on
Fifth street. Foster went % Fed
eral Hill on his honeymoon tour.
He was visiting his kinsman, the
younger John Rowan, there i'll
1852 when the picture of life
iabout him inspired the writing of
the immortal song, My Old Ken
lucky Home. He generally COM
posed music while wandering
iabout with his flute There at
Federal Hill he saw the corn top
ripe, the meadow i'll the bloom,
jthe young folks rolling on the lit
tile cabin floors of the slave quar-
tiers. From these material sprang
the words and music that have
long become the property of the
world and made Kentucky known
i'll every cline.
There has been no change at
Federal Hill since the song was
written, except in the woods and
fields. The attic of the house was
, destroyed during the Civil war.
Otherwise the old Kentucky home
is My Old Kentucky, as Foster
saw it in its glamor, glory, beau
! ty and pathoS OF old slave times.
In the lofty fcudal hall stands, i'll
the same spot, the antique sec
retaire where tradition says Fos-
ter sat and made the final neat
copy OF the great song. The first
rough manuscript he gave to his
cousin. 1t was preserved there,
but lost in the fire together with
1.-THE goldheaded cane left to the
elder Rowan by John Fitch, in
ventor of the steamboat Other
souvenirs Of interest and value
were also destroyed.
Foster wrote the song in late
August or early September, 1852
In 1919, Mr.. Baker Smith, a we'll
known resident of Bardstown. in
his 88th year and still alive. was
probably the only living person
who remembered the first singing
Iof My Old Kentucky Home He
recalled that there was a gay
house party of the young folks,
among them a young girl with
beautiful voice. Foster coached
her in its rendition. accompanied
her on the piano and during an
intermission i'll dancing she sang
the song for the first time to a
listening public. 1t was Federal
Hill transmitted into music and
poetry. The world has been sing
ing and playing it ever since.
Foster was then 20 years old,
in the height Of his fame. He
had been composing industriously
since he was 20 and his songs
were sung everywhere. My Old
Kentucky Home was published
four months after it was written.
Its career Of Immortality at once
began and the song of Kentucky
has now become national an
them and world expression OF
home sentiment. 1t is all this
concentrated history, tradition
and romance expressed in the
beautiful song that kentuckians
everywhere are invited to pur-
chase by voluntary contributions,
preserve and perpetuate as a state
shrine for future generations.

RAIN CHECKS FOREST FIRE
Over 100 Men Fight Mountain Flames
Discovered Sunday

Rain, starting in the night Monday
and continuing through Tuesday, has
checked the spread of the forest fires
which have been burning over a con
siderable area on the mountains near
here since Sunday.
The burned areas include land be
longing to Middlebury College and by
Thad Chapman. The fire was first no
ticed Sunday afternoon, and from the
fact that it was burning in three sep
arate places, it was thought that it
might possibly have been of incen-
diary origin The wardens, however,
seeing no motive for starting fire Of
this kind now believe that the cause
was perhaps due to the carelcssness Of
hunters The selectmen sent over a
hundred men onto the mountain, to-
gether with fire warden, John Ken
worthy, in efforts TO stop the devas-
tation of timber. They worked stead
lily until rain came to quench the
flames
Considerable of tract was burned
