grounds. Ernest Loomis, manager of
the Winter Garden dance hall will be
notified today that if a dance is he'd
at his establishment tomorrow night
an arrest will be made and the hall
closed
The pavilion at Columbia Gardens
does not come under the ban nor does
Gregson Springs. according to Mr..
Downey. They are situated on grounds
that are classified as public parks or
Fairgrounds.
Complaints Alleged.
Sometime ago Mr.. Downey and
Sheriff Larry Duggan received from
the attorney general letter in which
he stated that complaints have been
made to this office Of Sunday dancing
in Butte contrary to Section 1909 R.
c. M. 1921 and that at these dances
there are disturbances and use of in
tOxicating liquors"
The letter which Mr.. Downey dis
patched to Mr.. LOOMS yesterday
reads:
"The attorney general of the state
cf Montana has advised us to see
that the Sunday observance law with
reference to dance halls is enforced.
He particularly refers to the Winter
Garden Dancing academy as one of
the places violating this law and has
written to the sheriff and myself to
see that there will be no more dane
ing at that ,jace on Sunday nights.
The sheriff has notified Mr.. Rich
ards Of the above matter, He has BEN
advised that should there be an at
tempt made to hold a dance on Sun
day the ninth, to make an arrest and
close the. hall.
''.We feel that this notice should
serve its purpose in having you COM
ply with the above order and no,
make it necessary that there be an
arrest made for the violation of this
act.''
Still in Force.
The attorney general did not state
from whom the complaints were re-
ceived, but enclosed with the letter
to Mr.. Downey was a copy of a let
ter he had sent to C. E. Gilbert, sher-
if of Park county at Livingston who
apparently had asked for an opinion
en- the Sunday observance law. After
quoting the law in its entirety, At
tOrney General Foot stated that he
did not believe the law was annulleC
or modified through the enactment OF
prohibition. This observation was
loecasioned by the fact that the dance
hall law in several places refers t.
the use of Intoxicating liquor.

Seine, and Is not considered safe. So
solely from the standpoint Of health,
1 have been obliged to refrain some
what from drinking water. To one
who comes from the pioneer prohibi-.
ton state Of America. this change OF
diet Is somewhat shocking.
Habits are different in Paris. For
instance, nothing is served for
breakfast but rolls and coffee. Then
comes lunch at one. and dinner at
Z o'clock. The French cooking can
not be beat There are dishes that
will make the palate turn a somer-
sault. French cooks are noted the
world over. Almost everyone also
places a large feed in his system
sometime during the night. after the
opera or play.
BY the way, you really take dinner
in Paris at 10 o'clock and go to the
theater at 81 o'clock. The show is
over at "a o'clock. Francs here are
cheap now. Once. you could only
get five for a dollar, now you can
get twenty-one francs for an
American dollar.
Automobiles in Paris have the
right of way, and in order to avoid
your own funeral, you have to wait
a long time at intervals before you
can cross a street. There are no
traffic officers as In America. But
the operators drive with great skill
and quite fast. For whole week
in Paris, have not seen an accident,
not so much as the grazing of
wheels. And yet, the traffic at times
Is enormous.
Women sweep streets, act as
street car conductors, tend bar
(whatever that word means) and do
work on the farms. Women here
do not seem to want emancipation.
1t looks funny to see the long
rows of bread in the bakeries,
standing against the walls like rakes
or broom handles. 1t is mostly
crust, eight and nine feet long at
times. 1t is just what Paris likes.
Americans have to file their teeth to
eat it.
French people everywhere are uni
formly courteous and polite. Police
men also go a long ways to help a
stranger,
