LID WILL BE CLAMPED ON OPEN SUNDAYS, SAY REFORMERS

MW PROGRAM OF ELEVEN BILLS SETS SLOW PACE Only One Measure Recommended in Message Has Become Law, Os eleven measures recommended by Governor McCray at the opening of the Legislature, one has become a law. It is apparent most of the others will not be enacted. The bill recommended by the Governor straightening out the State board of agricul’ure tangle and authorizing that department to issue bonds has become a law. The $2,000,000 appropriation for the Reformatory recommended by the Governor, was reduced to $1,500,000 by the House and increased to $2,000,000 by the Senate. The chances are it will be reduced again when the Senate amendment goes to the House. Gasoline Tax Doubtful The gasoline tax recommended in the message is provided in a bill pending in the House. The administration has attempted a compromise with opponents of the meai'ure by providing $500,000 of the proceeds shall go to the counties. It is still doubtful whether the bill can be passed. The bill to increase automobile licenses still is pending. It probably will be passed in some form. The county unit education bill recommended by the administration is having rough sledding. It has been made almost useless by an amendment making adoption of the system optional with counties. Even in that form it may not pass. Absent Vote Law Stands The Governor recommended the strengthening of the absent voter law. A large number of legislators have presented bills with this in view, but not one has been passed. The administration bills amending the tax law still are pending. The Governor’s recommendation that there be only two State funds, general and tuition, will not be carried out. The appropriation bill, however. provides for the strengthening of the general fund by placing In it a number of fees that formerly did not go to that fund. Another recommendation of the Governor which will not be carried out Is the reduction cf the industrial! board membershp from five to three. A bill with this provision was killed by the Senate and an amendment to the appropriation bill with this end in view a>sc was killed by that body

Assembly Less Patient Than Congress

Members of the Indiana Legislature are watching with interest the filibuster on the ship subsidy bill in the National Senate. They are wondering what would happen if some group should attempt a filibuster in the Legislature. While there is much conversation in connection with things legislative in Indiana, really long speeches are few. Perhaps Dr. John N. Hurty, R e pres e n ta| ive holds the record. He talked nearly two hours on a medical bill. Members of the Legislature have an unpleasant habit of holding speakers to a discussion of the subject before the House, and of moving the previous question for the purpose of shutting off debate’. In fact, many members feel nobody could get away with a filibuster in the Legislature. The rules are not so lenient as those of Congress. CEREMONY BALTS WARM DEBATE GN senate™ Strong Opposition Shown to Bill to Give Board of Accounts Power, Warm debate on the Penrod Senate bill, giving the State board of accounts practically unlimited powers in the examination of public contracts and conferring to the board other powers of prosecution against violations, was interrupted in the House today by the joint session at 11 a. m. commemorating the birth of Washington. Fifty-four members signified their favor of the minority report, recommending indefinite postponement, by standing when Speaker Morgan called for a rising vote. The chair had passed to other business when Representative Smith, an advocate of the measure, interrupted and reminded Morgan the House had substituted the minority report, but had not adopted it as the amended majority report, as is the custom. Smith then spoke for the bill, saying it would establish a Supreme Court for taxpayers.” Representatives Ilammitt, Nolan. Johnson of Hamilton. Gottschalk and Waters, signed the minority report. Signing majority report were Lafuze, chairman of the roads committee, Kitch, Duffey, Hull and Carter. Following the Washington's birthday ceremony the House was to resume consideration and debate on the bill. The House either will adopt the majority report as amended in substituting the minority report, or will reconsider its action taken before the recess.

THE INI)IA2\APOLI!S TIMES

ARTIST SCOTT’S IDEA OF WHAT BLUE SUNDAYS WILL MEAN; THE CHIEF ANTAGONISTS, REV. HENRY L. BOWLBY, NATIONAL SECRETARY OF THE LORD’S DA Y ALLIANCE (RIGHT), AND WILLIAM A. BRADV, TIIEA TRICAB PRODUCER.

Blue Law Target Aimed at Theaters, Movies and Baseball or'Profiteering in Morality,’ by Lord’s Day Alliance,

By EDWARD TIIIERRY NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—“ Every Sunday a blue Sunday everywhere in America.” That, says Rev. Henry L. Bowlby, champion crusader, is the idea behind the campaign begun with test cases in New York and New Jersey to stop Sunday theatrical performances. The battle la on again. This time with a country-wide scope and a revivified and sternly determined Lord’s Day Alliance pushing the campaign. Ranged against the alliance, of which Dr. Bowlby is national secretary, is the Anti Blue I.aw League of America claiming 350,000 members, and theatrical producers led by William A. Brady. Sundays Made Unholy "Grasping greed'for money Is the canker of American life that la making our Sundays unholy," says Bowlby. "Profiteering In morality!" says Brady, characterizing Bow’.by’s Sunday clean-up campaign. These are the things the Lord's Day Alliance hopes to banish In every city in the United States: SUNDAY theatrical performances, including vaudeville and burlesque. SUNDAY motion picture shows. SUNDAY baseball. Dr. Bowlby said branches of the alliance in many cities would follow the New York and New Jersey prosecutions as soon as tests of the law had been made. Ilrady, producer of “La Flamme,” Is one of the first test defendants. Hours Prescribed "Wo are fighting every enterprise and amusement that makes money on Sunday,” says Bowlby. "That includes theaters, baseball, grocers, cigar dealers. barbers. Only actual public necessities should be obtainable on Sunday. Drug stores and delicatessen stores may be open within prescribed hours.” Laws regulating .Sunday amusements and busineactivities exist in every State. Bowlby said. The campaign is for the enforcement, of these

laws rather than for the immediate enactment of new and more stringent laws. “It isn't blue Sundays we want, but clean Sundays—clean and pure, without the taint of money greed and vice,” lie said. “Eventually we will turn our guns on Sunday baseball. It is bosh to say that baseball managers put on Sunday games to give the people a chance for amusement. Managers \ft*r Cash “The managers are after the cash; the people can get plenty of baseball on weekdays." Bowlby said there had been more than 400 convictions in New York alone for violations of Sunday laws during the past six months. One of those arrested in the New Jersey campaign was Rev. Father Joseph N GrUff. pastor of the Holy Family Church of Union Hill. He was fined $1 for a violation of the vice and Immorality act in giving "The Passion Play." which the church has been producing at Intervals for nine years. This was all a mistake, says Bowlby. Father Crieff thinks so, too, for immediately after the city court reversed its decision and remitted the $1 fine, ho made plans to seek legal redress for his blue law conviction.

The Joy Os Anticipation —heightens the pleasure of realization according to psychologists and for that reason Peggy Ann feels confident that she is going to thoroughly enjoy the possession of the Brunswick she is going to own some day. Her Brunswick bank is almost full, then she Is going to take it down to the Baldwin Piano Company, 18 N. Pennsylvania St., and deposit the contents as a first payment on a Brunswick The Ultona Needle of the Brunswick enables this machine to play any make of record.

It’s the best bill Peggy Ann has ever seen at this theater —so entertaining that she stayed during the entire performance, photoplay "Face in the Fog,” included, although she meant to drop in for just a few minutes. The Three Romano Sisters, toe dancers of ability, open the program and are very pleasing especially when they appear in summery frocks. Bartram & Saxon sing, and they sing ery, very well, melodies that have real harmony possibilities—you'll listen attentively, but your thoughts will go racing to some fond memory and there’s where you will still be when Bartram & Saxon finish. Billy Beard Is a good black face who chats his way into an atmosphere of friendliness —and what is more enjoyable? Miller and Frear, are a dancing pair, especially Miller, who also tell jokes and sing. But it is the Vincent Lopez Orchestra under the direction of Del Lampe. that makes one hope to find time to seo the bill again—a wonderful orchestra of real musicians playing artistic arrangements of melodious airs. The setting for this act is very beautiful. Many capes and coats accompanying three-piece suits are lined with brilliant color. After A Lot Os Deliberation —Peggy Ann went up to the Schirmer Shop the other day and ordered a three-piece suit of gray matelasse for spring wear. It is a bit hard to decide just what to purchase these days, but one can rest assured that any garments fashioned by this shop will be good looking and there will be no risk of duplication as there always is In buying a suit from a shop or store. The courteous service of the Schirmer Shop makes having one's clothes made the-e a pleasure. This shop Is located 513-515 Roosevelt building.

Sound Judgment Where Financial —matters were concerned greatly strengthened the great service that George Washington was able to perform for the country which he fathered. On this, the anniversary of his birth, it will not be amiss for us to pass personal judgment on our own financial foresight. Are you saving any of your_salary? No? Neither was Peggy Ann until Miss Fischer of the Meyer-Kiser Bank convinced her that it was nothing short of criminal not to save some—no matter how little. Like George Washington who “could not tell a lie,” the leading merchants have come ,to realize that true merchandise is the only means of holding a satisfied patronage. • • The Next Time You Are —downtown and have time, do go up to the art department, fifth floor of the Pettis Dry Goods Company, to see the very lovely lamps and pillows to be found here. Colorful, exquisitely made, altogether beautiful, is a fan-shaped floor lamp, made of rose georgette, trimmed with gold lace. Medallion effects of silk flowers in harmonizing shades decorate the shade proper while rose crystal beads weight the fluting at the base of the shade. Folds of blue georgette over gold lace hung over rose georgette form a Japanese looking lamp decorated with gold tassels, beads and flower medallions. New and artistic table runners and floor pillow's are attractively displayed in all their spring glory in this department. To go from the artistic to the practical is often necessary so Peggy Ann suggests you buy Iron Clad hose, triple heel and knee, if your son’s activities seem too strenuous for ordinar* stockings. This same make, likewise reinforced, can be had in flue ribs for girl3. • * * There Is nothing more effective in novelty jewelry just now than the seed pearl bracelets with pendant drops. • * Girls, Don’t You Love —to go it; to a men's furnishings store? So does Peggy Ann; the other day she had to buy an Oxford shirt so she went over to Carter’s, 22 E. Washington St. This shop has Oxford shirts that are made from shrunken material, so they fit as well after they have been laundered as they did before. These shirts have narrow attached collars and rounded cuffs, fastened with a single, large pearl button, appreciated details of tailoring that indentlfy the Oxford shirts from Carter's Haberdashery. For dressy wear, this shop Is showing English broadcloth shirts of excellent quality and exquisite tailoring—these come in white, gray, tan and blue. • • • A bit of lace softens the neckline of many of the taffeta frocks now being shown for immediate wear. * * * „ Some of the most * channing negligees are strictly tailored with a single smashing bow for adornment.
