BLUE LAW SUNDAY
 IS NOT OBSERVED
Ludineton People Do Just About
 as They Choose

Ludington, Mich, July so.-Lud ington knocked her ancient Sunda! blye laws for row of hand-paintec wax petunias on the first Sabbath ol their scheduled resurrection.
 Ludington solfed. motored. swan drank soda-pop, went to the movies and rattled the bones on cigar coun- ters with even more gay and reckless abandon than on other Sundays. II did these things so unanimously, In spite of the fact that each was vto- lation of the old laws which County Prosecutor Virgil A. Fitch promised to enforce, that nobody made any at- tempt to stop Ludington's regular Sunday fun. A few people who ventured out timidly in the morning expected 10 have to observe all the blue statutes passed in the history of the state, but they soon saw how conspicuous they were and proceeded to violate With enthusiasm.
 This left among the law observers only Mayor F. M. Hellett and County Prosecutor Fitch. whose idea 1t was to confine all local Sunday activities to walking and church going. and Mai O. F. Barbour. a4 years old chief of county detectives, who wanted to teach these reformers to mind their own damn business"
 Steps taken by officials to enforce the blue laws were:
 The Mayor--visited ar churches and took numbers of automobiles standing outside, with a view to pro5- ecution.
 The county prosecutor-Scowled at the procession of lawless automobile drivers, announced that complaints would be filed on the morrow and went into seclusion.
 Chief of county detectives-Hung around church for an hour hoping to spot the automobile of Mrs. Am prose Knight, chairman of the con- mittee from the Women's Literary club which unwittingly started it all when it urged abolition of Sunday dancing.
 Sheriff Andrew Anderson--Went automobiling with his family.
 City Prosecutor J. D. Matthews- Razzed Prosecutor Fitch and told the cops to do nothing.
 The county prosecutor after retir- ing for the day, left his only son to talk to the press and other inquirers. This son was no less than Roscoe Conkling Fitch, the former North western University freshman, who re- gently bounded into the limelight with a weird and quite fictitious confession of knowledge of the death of Leigh ton Mount in Evanston, III.
 Roscoe accepted his responsibility with becoming dignity and announced that he had wired the attorney gen eral at Lansing for instructions, that he would see to 1t that his father told the governor all about the days law lessness, and that later in the day he probably would join the hundreds of others on the Lincoln Hills golf course

essential office of priest is to offer sacrifice, For as the Great apostle says, For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men, h things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifice for sins Hebrews V. l. 4a
 "As the most sublime act of Jesus Christ on Calvary, so the sacrifice of the mass, which commemorates the bloody immolation of Christ is, the most august act that can be perform ed by human being. No act, says St. Thomas Aquinas tone of the great thinkers of all time), is greater than the consecration of the body of Christ The priest brings down on the altar. he holds in his hands, and partakes of the same flesh that was born of the Virgin Mary. Thomas Carlyle, non-Catholic, does not scruple to say, Higher tasks than that of priesthood were allotted to no man! vert thou but the meanest in that sa- cred Hierarchy, Is 1t not known enough therein to spend and to be spent?'
 ''In conclusion let me congratulate you, and yours. on this suspicious oc- casion for you have received these tremendous prerogatives not only from a successor of the apostles but from an apostle whose name will ring down through the Christian cen- turies, the champion of right against might. mean Cardinal Mercier Par taking of the same identical priest hood of Cardinal Mercier, let us brethren of the priesthood of Jesus Christ, the first high priest, spend, and be spent in that sacred calling for the honor and glory of God, and the salvation of souls, and let us re- solve to say always with the Apostle St. Paul, As long indeed as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I will honor nay ministry Rom. xxx, 1S." .
 Following the services in the church. dinner was held at the home of the priests parents at 46 Grand street at which over 200 guests at- tended. A reception followed from to o'clock and during that time neighbors and friends of the young priest came to extend their congratu- lations Father Kenney will be home for the next few days.

The dock question was again
brought UP by Councilman Andres
the instigator of the issue. Borough
Attorney Stremlau informed the
body that he has made a complete
search of records for the last hum
dred years and found that the bor-
ough had no right to the Radley
Dock and Others adjoining it. He
informed the council that the sites
along the waterway In question are
owned by the Carteret Ferry Com
pany and also by a subsidiary of the
~Interocean Oil Company.
At the suggestion of the mayor,
Councilman Andres was asked to
communicate with the owners of the
waterway frontage as to price and
condition of purchase. Here Coun-
Gilman Child interrupted, declaring
that the matter be left until the fall
for the people to decide. Mayor Null

pushing of the plan and after neces-
sary data has been procured the
people of the borough will be con-
ferred with.

THE DEPTHS OF TRUE BEAUTY

1t seems to be accepted as a fact
that beauty is only skin deep, but
on analysis there appears to be
some doubt as to the truth of the old
saying. Most assuredly, a pretty face
that lacN an expression of character
is rot truly beautiful. A pretty face
is a gift of nature a healthy mind
and heart will make any face attrac-
tive and beautiful.
But we are ~inclined TO accept the
old saying without challenging its ac-
curacy and that being the case we
render first aid to nature by using
face powder, cosmetics and rouge.
Some women, of course, are extrava-
CANT and as a rule the use of first aids
to beauty are discouraged.
Reformers rail at their use. They
are made the texts of sermons and

rouge and cosmetics employ the old say.
