CHIEF WANTS QUIET
NEW YEARS. EVE
Stay Within Bounds Is Or
der of Police Au-
thOrities.

Chief Gormon has some ideas re-
garding the celebration of New Years.
Richmond is not like gay New York
with its hundreds of all-night cafes so
Chief Gormon will not have a situa-
ton to contend with. The first rule is
that all saloons shall be closed at II
O'Clock Wednesday evening and re-
main so throughout New Years Day.
This is prescribed by law.
1t is customary for half the populace
of Richmond to hold a midnight watch
party on New Years eve and usher in
the coming twelvemonth with loud
clamor of voices if no other means are
at hand. Factory men often tie down
the whistles for about five minutes
before and after the official time is
sounded.
Then the fire bells chime in with the
activities of some church sexton who
climbs in the back window to ride the
bell rope for quarter of an hour.
This amusement is not protested by
Chief Gormon but he hopes the insti-
gators of this type of amusement will
know just when to quit.
Even fire crackers will not be OBJ
jectionable. Some Richmond young
Americans stored away few of the
July crackers to fire off when the New
Years breaks and about the hour of
twelve the red sticks begin their
sputtering.
To sum up Chief Gormon's attituted
with apologies to Riley is Chief Cor
mon will git you if you don't watch
out"

individual has leisure to spend the

divine services.
The readers of the Palladium, the
management believes, heartily con-
