Memorial Day, said today. COM
menting on the fight against the
bill.
Opposition is from CONNER
cial interests who unfortunately
think they will be injured"
The bill is a result Of a reso-
luton passed at the State Amer
lean Legion convention and fol
lows the recommendations OF
the national convention that
Memorial Day be observed with
out desecration, Moorhead said.
Bills Joined
''The Legion legislative COM
mittee had the bill in prepara-
ton and the General Memorial
Association, composed Of the G.
A. R., the Sons of Veterans,
Woman's Relief Corps and other
patriotic organizations was pre-
pairing another measure, so the
legislative committees of the
two organizations Joined the
bills" Moorhead continued.
THE bill was introduced sub
stantially as drafted by Robert
W. Mcbride of the G.. A. r. and
conforms exactly with the Amer
ican Legion State and national
recommendations. 1t prohibits
all commercialized sports Of any
character on Memorial Day.
Would Give Up Race
81 do not believe I ever have
seen as much State wide enthu-
siasm back of any measure. L
believe sporting events could be
held on some other day as well
as on Memorial Day.
at has been impractical in
Indianapolis to have any proper
observation of Memorial Day be-
cause of the hurrah and confu-
sion connected with the race. If
we must lose the race, 1 say
let's lose the race"

Williams, %. also a chiropodist,
learned today in juvenile court. Es-

while officers testified about her init

she replied, Il have nothing to say
But when the word prison" was

plored the judge to ALLOW me, too, to
get out of town and start life over. -
'I never thought about what you
said-it being wrong to live with a
