West Haven Judge Decides Moving Pictures dc Legal on Sunday.
FLYING HORSE PROFR|ETORS FINED
Savin Rock Cases Looked Upon As a Test of the s'BIue La,vs' Concern ing the Observance of the Sabbath at the Summer Resort.


 New Haven, April 25.-Because in his opinion moving picture theaters conducted on Sunday did not disturb the peace of the community, Judge Bryant in the West Haven court to- day discharged Samuel Deviation, moving picture theater owner, and five other theatrical men, on the charge of violating the Sunday observ- ance law Three spectators who we're in theaters were also discharged. Eleven other defendants who had been running flying horses, shooting galleries and other amusements at Savin Rock, were each fined, the man. agers $5 and costs each and employees $1 and costs each. These defendants will enter appeals.
 Opposes Flying Horses.
 Judge Bryant said that flying horses and shooting galleries disturbed the peace of the community and their conduct on Sunday was in violation of the Sunday laws.
 At the hearing last week counsel for the moving picture men put in evidence notices which they had served on the prosecuting attorney to the effect that as they were Hebrews and observed Saturday as their Sab- bath they were not violating the law in keeping open their places on. Sum- day. Judge Bryant, however, pays no attention in his memoranda to this phase of the case, passing his decision on the question of relation of Sun day amusements to the peace and quietness of the community as set forth in the law.
 Test of "Blue Laws Z Much interest has been taken in these cases which were looked upon as "a test of the Blue. Laws in re- gard to the Keeping of Savin Rock wide open on Sundays this summer It has been stated that in event of any convictions appeals would be talk en- so4 that such action would act as a stay and enable amnsements to con tinue as usual. The moving picture men had based their defense on the ground that their belief enabled them to keep open on Sunday, although in no instance was it stated that their theaters would be closed on Saturday because they remained open on Sun day.
 The attitude of the authorities towards all amusemerlts at Savin Rock on Sundays In view of the cases just tried is yet unknown.

SAY He Stole His Own Pigs.

If pigs is Pigs" can men be ar
rested for stealing those which he
knows to be his very own?
This is the substance of very un.
usual legal situation that has devel-
oped at San Mateo, Cal, and promises
to mark new development in juris-
prudence upon it's satisfactory solu-
ton.
Fred Marsh. rancher at Halfmoon
bay answers the question in the mega
tive. Unfortunately, however, the
San Mateo authorities have taken the
opposite view and as result Marsh
is under arrest on charge of petty
larceny and his pigs are in the Gus
tody of the health authorities.
A few days ago the health officials
brought several pigs from Marsh's
ranch to place them under observa.
ton Shortly afterward they disap-
peared. The authorities began an in
vestigation and as a result Marsh was
arrested for the theft Of his own pigs.

who would refuse a boiled egg or a
custard. One quarter ounce Of gela.
tine, the juice Of two oranges, one
and one-half ounces Of lump sugar.
one new-laid egg, one-quarter pint of
cold water.
Rub the sugar on to the orange rind

gelatine. Cut the oranges open, strain
their juice and put 1t in with the gela-
tine and water. Let the whole heat
till the gelatine is melted, then re-
move the pan from the fire. Beat the
egg up very we'll. Allow the gelatine
mixture to cool and then pour it on
to the egg, stirring briskly all the time.
Have ready a mold which has been
dipped in cold water, pour the jelly
into this and put it aside till it is set.

be 20 cents for the four doilies and
probably only Is cents for the hand

will be ample, while the square wire

In putting on the lace the outer edge
must be perfectly fiat and without the
slightest bit Of fullness For this rea-

lace edging. The inner edge must be
drawn up, OF course Then it is basted
neatly to the edge Of the dolly, and
stitched by machine. A certain crisp.

putting through warm water and then
through a thin boiled starch. They

broidery will stand out clearly (em.

is no hot iron to fade the colors. Every

.FURS AND FUR SUBSTITUTES
Graceful, Becoming Models in Both
Winter Has Made Change
in the Styles.

Winter sees a decided change in
the style of the newest wraps and
stoles made in furs or fur substitutes.
Last year the majority of the stoles
were quite straight in shape, the
widths varying from eight or nine
inches to considerable proportions,
but now the oldfashioned pelerine or
small cape promises to be most popu-
lar.
Carried out in soft musquash, seal,
coney, ermine or other fur many of
these models are very graceful and
becoming.
Some beautiful examples Of shaped
shoulder scarfs seen lately were made
of broadtail or black ponyskin, as
supple and silky as satin, trimmed
with effective touches Of taffeta or
velvet, in some cases with another fur
introduced around the neck or deco
rating the ends.
For those, however, who find these
real furs too costly the new makes
of ponyskin and broadtail cloth an
swer most admirably. Those manu-
featured furs are such faithful copies
OF the real article that in many in
stances it requires an expert to dis
criminate between the two.
Those who require an up-to-date fur
wrap at a moderate cost cannot do
better than copy the real furs in fur
cloth. This is by no means difficult
proceeding, as the fur cloth can be OBJ
tanned in wide widths that can readily
be draped in graceful lines.
When making up stole in fur ma
terial it is as we'll to add an interim
