terday morning. He had gone down
to Great Neck to send a cable to his
family in Paris when a messenger
boy stopped him in front Of the rail-
road station, saying:
"Mr. Wilson, have a telegram for
you"
Gus tore open the envelope, be-
lieving il to be- a message for
Georges. Instead 1t was $3.50 In bills.
Last week Gus placed the money
with a man in Great Neck to bet
at / to 8, and believing it had been
placed paid no more attention to It.
"They are honest people here in
Great Neck" said Gus yesterday
when he read the message, which
said:

EARLY AMERICAN BLUE LAWS
In 164s the Idea Of "PaternaIism" Had
Distinct Hold on the
Communities.

In early America the township and
provincial authorities regulated pri-
vate conduct and personal affairs with
a rigor which, If sought to be applied
now, would raise general and indlg-
nant outcry. What are called "blue
laws" were familiar to our ancestors,
and it would appear that they repre-
sented public opinion as to what con.
stituted proper and seemly conduct
on the peoples part.
AS bearing on the daylight saving
matter, and as proving that 1t is diff
ficult to find something new under the
sun, the municipal authorities of Hart
ford, Conn, have found among their
records that a general town meeting
in Hartford, October "a, 1913, voted
that there should be a bell rung by
the watch every morning an hour be-
fore daybreak, land that they who are
appointed by the constable for that
purpose shall begin at the bridge and
so ring the bell all the way forth and
back: Master Moody (Wyllshill) to
John Pretts and that they shall be in
every house one up and some lights
within one-quarter of an hour after
the end OF the bell ringing, II they can,
