Opening the movie theaters in Grcencastle Sunday afternoon and evening, resulted in the filing of an affidavit against Oliver L. Goodlander, manager, on Monday b\ Paul Grimes, city marshal. The affidavit charged Goodlander with following his usual avocation, that of theater manager, on the first day of the week, commonly railed Sunday. '1 he affidavit was filed under a statute that is wholly inadequate to cover the case, because the law passed non after Indiana became a state. It covered only such things as common labor, etc. There is now no law prohibiting Sunday moving picture shows other than this law, it was stated on
Monday.
The old law, commonly known as “The Blue Law" makes it a misdemeanor for following one’s usual work on Sunday, and fixes the penalty at a fine of not less than $1 and not
more than $10.
Goodlander entered a plea of not guilty and his trial was fixed for November 20 in the city court. He was represented by Glen 11. Lyon, attorney, and the ehanees are he will he found guilty in city court and an ap peal taken to the circuit couit next week. In the meantime, it was stated the local picture houses will continue to operate on Sunday. Many tool, advantage of the opening Sunday and ' both places were said to have been well patronized by those who believi

the -ame in mitigating the suffering caused by pestilence, famine, fire, floods and other great national calamities, and to devise and carry on measures for preventing same.” Through support given by the people of the United States the Red Cross fulfills the obligation- of the Congressional Chapt r as stated above.

"Often the white men would have children by their slave women. Some of these white fathers would put their own children on the block and sell them us quick as they would any Negro. Hut there were lots of masters that had a liking for their hulfbreed children and wouldn't sell them nor mi-treat them.

CAB A NT A, Sicily, Nov. 12. (ITT - The devastating eruption of Mount Etna which already has cau.-ed damage approaching a million lire and ha-* destroyed two villages appeared slackening today. But even this slackening found volcanologists .-till unwilling to predict an end to the relentless surge of molten lava from the great pit. As they pointed nut .Etna is the mo.-t freakish of all volcanoes. The la vie force coming down the mountainside was less speedy and it wa less incandescent. Only here and there this morning could be seen the glowing red fire in the Muck molten mass that spread along the channel . The stream at Munziatu and the nearby town of N'unzatellu was almo t stationary while the stream which destroyed Carrubbu was moving slowly. The eruptive force at the crater's top also seemed to be considerably slow-
ed.
The lava force moved relentlessly as the correspondent watched the thick lava strike one building, cru.-h it and pus.-cd on without leaving a trace. Nothing was left after the hot till** hail rolled through. Two hundred persons were made homeless. Other villages still are endangered and the residents watch closely the priign- .- of the lava. The hamlet of Strada has been ordered
i varuated.
The United Pies, cofri'.-piindcnt vpited the crater over Sunday, encountering hundreds natives and many American tourists. The lava was falling over a cascade of about i»00 |Y't. It was a sight of splendor. One great danger was that the ln\a might overllnw its present bed and break through the surrounding banks. Till* pre- me on the sides is tn mendmi - ami one authority told the United Press that only about a third of the | mountain's lava hud been di. charg' d
thus far.
At the crater there are inure than 100 different mouths, of varying size, from which the lava shunts up and start.- descending on the valley in four separate streams. The main (ream, which has cau.-'d must d'*--t ruction, has waves which at times
r> nch 100 feet in height.
Churches are filled with n idrnts praying for an end to the di.-a ter.
