4 Washington, Nov. 27.--No Sunday
baseball, no Sunday theaters OF
motion picture shows-in fact, a real
''blue Sunday" all over the United
/ States.
That's the program some OF the
large organizations that part lpated
in the successful fight for prohiDition

see what the prospects are of getting
the national lawmakers to take up
( this tight Sunday plan and to carry
the fight to state legislatures. Some
half dozen societies that took part in
the anti-booze fight have been invited
to sit in.
Worries Capital Residents.
Just how national laws could effect
this Sunday closing, say IN Kansas
CITY. for instance, is doubtful, as the
situation is entirely different from
that of a national prohibition law.
Probably congress couldn't be induced
to even consider such problem on
countrywide scope, and it Likewise
might not be. legal if passed, but there
isn't any question of the power. of con-
gress to act in the case of Washington
and the reform elements intend to
direct their program at making a
tight Sunday here as a starter and
then to go to the state Legislature and
ask them to follow suit

worried very much, indeed. For these
same organizations urged prohibition
in the capital as an example to the re-
mainder of the country and it came
"bone dry"--over night before the
rest of the country had thought of be-
coming a Sahara on the drink ques-
ton.
Opened up in the War.
Washington used to have a CLOSED"
Sunday, but during the war, with
thousands of soldiers and sailors and
war workers here, congress permitted
Sunday baseball games and theatres
to give these thousands somcthingsto
do. Already the motion picture
theatres here have started taking ref
erendums of their patrons on the sub
ject to be ready to show congress that
the people of the city don't want to
go back to the old ways of strict OBJ
servances.
