Talk of the TOlUt1

Let them tell about the dangers Of
the tank warfare in Europe, but they
have nothing on the experience that
one gets riding III the imitation tank
that appeared on the streets yester.
day.
To show how much pleasure there is
in riding in one of those creeping
fortresses. the owner Of the tank Of
fered q Muscular reporter a ride. The
invitation was accepted and for about
80 minutes the battle of Ancre had
nothing on that ride.
The real tank may be a creeping at
fair. but there was nothing creeping
about that wooden affair perched on
the chassis of q greatly dilapidated
Ford car.
At each turn the improvised tank
made every effort TO do a neap Hip
flop and several narrow escapes from
collisions with streetcars and autos
added to the pleasure of that ride.
II the allies expected to inflict any
damage on the Prussians It would not

a trip.

two little chaps about 10 years old
trudged along In deep conversation.

declared. Il wisht we'd have vaca '.

10 ENFORCE BLUE LAWS
Attorney General Havrsr Serves
Notice We will Put Sunday Lid on
Tight II Legislature Fails to Repeal
Old Statutes.

Des Moines, Feb. 21.--Attorney Cen
eral Havner yesterday set at rest all
Uncertainty as to whether he has de-
termined that Sunday theaters and
moving picture shows will be closed
unless the general assembly changes
the present law, by stating that he will
enforce whatever laws the legislature
leaves on the statute books, when 1t
adjourns.
The attorney general says he Is not
making bluff at law enforcement. He
says that he intends to make tire en-
forcement real and that II there are
any laws on the statute books which
the legislature does not want enforced,
now Is the time to eliminate them, for
there will be no winking at the law
after the session closes.
Il have not thought it necessary to
serve notice on the theater men that
Sunday shows will not be permitted, II
the Sunday closing laws remain on the
statute books" said the attorney gem
eral. "They all know the law and they
can not evade it as long as am at
torney general and charged with law
enforcement. The only way they can
escape is to have the law repealed.
'Tt would not be consistent for the
state department of justice to require
moving picture houses and theaters to
close in the smaller cities and allow
the same kind of houses to operate in
the larger cities on Sunday. This de-
partment must enforce the law uni
formly over the state.
II am not taking any hand in the
discussion whether cities should have
the power to regulate amusements on
Sunday, such as theaters, baseball,
moving pictures, etc.
THAT is matter for the legislature
to decide But it is certain that what
ever law is left on the statute books
when the assembly closes will be en-
forced
The attorney general is neutral
, with regard to the question whether
the Sunday blue laws should be
changed as far as they affect tho larger
cities of the state.
When it becomes generally known
over the state that the decision of the
attorney general would bar Sunday
baseball or other amusements. the
theater men say that petitions will
pour into the legislature for the re-
peal Of the Sunday law
