“Pinks” at Last Turn in Opposition to Faithful “Blues” • Ry ELMER CLARK International Illustrated News Staff Correspondent. Ocean Grove, N. J. —(lNS) —Black to tiie days of the Puritan fathers! Here's one place in the United States where the I,'uest of blue laws—and j all of ’em —nr* rigidly enforced. Here’s a Summer resort where you’ll get. pinched if you dare take a dip jin the water on Sunday—where you face arrest and imprisonment if 'you’re Wen buying a hot dog! To prevent motorists from going through the town on the Sabbath, huge chains have been hung across | the main street, effectually stopping all traffic. For fifty-eight years the ’ Camp Meeting Association has been hold- | ing forth at Ocean Grove. The Rev. -Dr. Charles M. Boswell, president of | the organization, has always boasted that his followers have brought about the creation of a genuine “holy city” in New Jersey. But now the Sunday quiet is threatened. Several hundred citizens have banded together and. headed by Mrs. Martha F. Kunst, have appealed to Governor Harry A. Moore of New Jersey. In their petition they allege that the blue laws are turning Ocean Grove into a real “deserted village.” | Here are some of the high crimes (and misdemeanors that are on the “blue list” on Sundays: Parking a car on the street on I Team Play The Thing, Even in Shoplifting, Belief Os Two Girls Fort Wayne, Ind..

RESTRICT GREEN CORN MOVEMENT State Officials Enforce Rigid Quarantine Against Corn Borer 4 Indianapolis, Ind. August 8 (Special) —With a 95 per cent clean-up of the European corn borer infested region in northeastern Indiana credited to their strenuous winter and spring field work in which virtually every corn farmer cooperated to the fullest extent, th? state entomologist’s office is now perfecting plans for the enforcement of a rigid quarantine on the movement of green corn within the danger zone. While the quarantine first put into force last year is still in effect in effected counties, guards or patrol will be posted by Wallace on all highways in the area as soon as the green corn is ready to market to see that no corn on the cob from the borer area is permitted to pass out. These men will be charged with preventing leakage for in this way the pest would soon spread to clean fields While all traffic will be subject to inspection, Wallace anticipates no trouble at enforcing the quarantine in view that 95 per cent of! the farmers realize it is to their best I interests to aid in checking the spread ; of the borer which, if permitted, would j cost Indiana and the nation billions of dollars in farm crops. The quarantine line will run north j and south through Lagrange, Noble ( and Whitley counties, and east through Whitley and Allen counties. While no corn on the cob may be shipped out of the infected area, there will be no restriction on on new corn being shipped into this area from clean and uoinfested districts. Inability To Read Efficiency Is Blamed For Classroom Failures Bloomington, Ind., Aug. B—(UP)8 —(UP) — Classroom failure jtsually is just a common case of not knowing how to read in the opinion of Dr. W. F. Brook, of the education department of Indiana University. In reading over tests he conducted during the past year with 900 Indiana University freshmen and 214 upperclassmen, the I. U. psychologist found that only 21 per cent of the freshmen tested could give the title they had read in a standardized assignment, or formulate any of the chief problems discussed. The girl freshies were better than the boys however, they being able to master 43 per cent of the points while the boys were only able to master 34 per cent of the points made by the 'author. The poorest readers could remember only three per cent of the points made in the chapter read. < Not being satisfied with this examination into the reading ability of. the students, Dr. Book conducted

Dr. Boswell. “We compel applicants Jyr real estate to furnish proof of ’their high moral character, and furthermore bind them to observe lour regulations befoe they can purchase property here. Our laws are iron clad and nobody can break them.” But Mrs. Kunst is sure her campaign will end with the complete

“How to Study” classes, in order that he dould show the students how their reading difficulties might be. over-1 come. The result was, that in the short space of a semester Dr. Book’s two classes in “How to Study” improved their reading ability to 102 per cent and some individuals were able to improve their reading efficiency to the high mark of 250 per cent.. 0 Man Loses His Trousers While Chasing His Auto But He Satches The Car Stevens Point, Wis., Aug.

QUAIL, RABBITS ARE PLENTIFUL • Some Os Highways Report ed Literally Alive With Y oung Rabbits*At Night Reports to the offices of the conservation department indicate an unuaually large numner of quail and rabbits. Motorists driving Hoosier highways say that at night some of the traffice lanes are literally alive with young rabbits that scurry to cover as the car approaches. Practically every section where quail customarily are found reports many voveys and at the close of the transquil summer day when a mid-season sun gently slides down beyon the distaant horizon, this great game bird's penetrating call may be heard on every side as re whistles merrily from meadow and golden yellow wheat fieldp. In late years land owners have learned that it is not the legal hunting that decimates the quail cron: rather the -cold icy winters when shelter and food are problems. To aid in the perpetuation of this bird many land owners provide sanctuar, leaving a brush pile in fence corners and they also see that birds are fed and watered during such times when the elements prevent their natural hunting for food by reason of deep snow or ice-encased landscapes. 0 Hand Clasps Will Be Taboo When Lindbergh Comes To Indianapolis Indianapolis, Ind., Aug.
