BLUE LAWS IN BOSTON
Bay State City Plunges Into a Cold

since the present enforcement OF the old Sun

O'Meara and District Attorney John b Moran
began sedate Boston has been put through a
course OF sprouts, TO the vast entertainment and
amusement OF the entire country.
Hundreds OF BOstonians have been summoned
into court to answer 10 the charge Of working
on Sunday, and many OF the cases have excited

force if they failed to perform their duty
searched out every nook and corner OF the city
for violations of the Sabbath laws people be-
gan TO conclude that perhaps after all it was
something more than a phantom reform move
ment.
The wsll-tO-dO citizen who sought a little
healthful exercise after church hours by shovel
ling the snow from around the clothes posts
couldn't see what the reform had to do with
him when he was summoned into court But
he paid his fine just the same. Refined young
