PASTOR AGAINST FORCING
BLUE LAWS ON MINORITY
Creates Stir at Lords Day Alliance Meeting by Telling
Members He Believed 1t Wrong to Urge
Legislation Regulating the Sabbath.

Tie Rev. @. S. Kenibie. pastor OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Irving
con, n. j., told the members of the
Lords Day Alliance at their annual
meeting yesterday in the Madison Ave-
nue. Baptist Church. that they, as "Puri-
tan Protestants" had no right to force
thelr ideas regarding Sunday obser-
vance upon the people OF other religious
Beliefs. The Proto stanrs, Dr.. kernh!e
declared, are in The minority in New
York city. and have no right 20 try 10
make the. majority conform 60 their be-
lief hy means OF legislation.
I'VE must rcmber that this is not a
Protestant city," he said. every third
man is O jew. and possibly every other
third man is Roman Catholic. Two
thirds of the population are not Protest
ant. The Roman Catholic Church does
not agree with us at all as TO obser-
vance OF Sunday. and the Jews also dis
agree with us as to the conception OF
the Sabbath. Now, why should we
force upon them bills which disagree
With their thought and their views?
II IN all right TO work in the churches
and TO voice our sentiments from pulpit

Where a Man or
Woman Should Be
at Their Best

is at their homes with their
own families.
Possibly business people
are sometimes unconscious
Of the disguises they put on
in meeting each other, con-
.ducting negotiations, meas
uring their words, assun-
ing innocent manners, re-
straining their intentions,
and guarding carefully
with much humility an
swers to questions which
would betray their plans.
1t still seems hard to
eradicate old practices.
But at home, with wife
and children, let nothing
of masquerading come
thither. The woman's
sweetness, best dressing,
most gracious speeches, and
the mans most unselfish,
most courtly and finest
traits of character should
come home with them al
ways and all ways.

ALL Sorts of Early
"A American Maple
Furniture Are Now on
the Bridge of Prog
resS Au Quatrieme
1t really ought to be called
the Bridge Of Lettering, 50
little does one want to leave
its array Of charming old
American maple furniture
and other things reminiscent
OF those simple, earnest CO.
lonial days.
Lettering on the Bridge
of Progress IS a good way to
learn how many different
shades there are in maple
from an almost ash-gray,
pale and soft, brilliant
orange, warm yellow, deep
brown, to the color of the
curly maple-almost as dark
as mahogany.
There are lovely high-post
and low-post maple beds;
bureaus and chests of draw
ers, some with the so-called
"swell fronts;" two beauti-
fully grained highboys, a fine
old desk, a quaint, low, very
old but still sturdy child's
desk.
Every Sort of Table
that was ever made from
maple is on the Bridge just
now-little tavern tables
with four stretchers each, a
soft-surfaced old table with
drop-leaves, a big table with
two drawers, q dozen little
candlestands with tripod
bases and tops that are oc-
tagonal, round, square, cut
cornered and oval.
As for Chairs
they are all represented, too,
from the stiff-backed rush
seated plain little chair that
makes you think Puritanical
thoughts to the fiddle-backed
chair which dared a little
more decoration. Spindle
back Windsor chairs are
charming; there is rocker.
two lovely old armchairs and
several children's chairs, of
maple or painted-all in the
same spirit of old simplicity.
Glass Bottles
Early American pickle
jars in delightful quaint
shapes, u soft old green in
color, complete the collec-
ton on the Bridge of Prog
ress. These are delightful
flower jars and make equally
attractive lamps when wired.

venber 26. Mas was arrested Satur-
day on Instructions from Washington
and is accused, together with two pris-
onors taken in Chicago, Of being impli-
Gated In a widespread conspiracy to OBJ
tain liquor illegally from Government
warehouses.
Attorneys for Mas succeeded in hav-
ing. the $4,000 bail, which was imposed
1T the time of his arrest, cut by half.
It was argued that he had been in the
employ Of the city for seventeen years
and was at present claim examiner
in the Corporation Counsel's office and
that he would be unlikely to seek to
leave tho city.
An effort was made to obtain an
order directing that the Federal off,

Wilmington will have a sight be-

retailing in Wilmington at the pres

Mems Souls Bigger

Mems souls, says Marchal Foch,
are bigger since the war. The great
French soldier, with characteristic
directness, has hit upon an essential
truth. Mems souls are bigger, mems
understanding is broader and mems
sympathies are deeper than ever be-
fore in the history of the world.
1t is largely because of Foch's own
dignity and strength of soul that the
American people love him. There is
in the mans makeup nothing of the
provincial. Acclaimed the worlds
greatest soldier, his modesty is in
keeping with his strength of charac-
ter. Coming to AmerHa,' he said,
