ton Sunday. There large cities all

arc also not ignorant Of the sayings OF the
Lord hut the necessity Of allowing thu
people some form of amusement on Sunday.
1t is my opinion and the opinion OF Il great
many others, who cannot afford the luxury
of a machine, that there Is nothing to do here
sunday and the lack OF innocent amusement
accounts for the great crowds leaving here
TO spend their week ends in Washington. Nor

on open sunday" and won their point. 1t
is a worthy cause. MRS. j. l..
