 Three years ago We opened the Crump theater on Sunday and were interfered with by the police off cials. We were brought to trial in the city court and lost the case because officials called for jury service wives of the clergy and only persons who never go to a show even on a week day and want every joy suppressed.
 We took the case to the circuit court and in a few minutes were acquitted by citizens who by their verdict proved that clean, whole some amusement is necessary and that the people of Columbus want it and they should have what they want and need"

BLUE LAW BATTLE
 IN INDIANA CITY
Two Factions Bring Charges
 Against Each Other

Columbus. Ind, April 19 UP)- With four men under arrest and the possibility that 2S others may face charges. this city is in the thick of blue Sunday war.
 Trouble began when Frank J. Rembusch, Shelbyville, owner of two theaters here, opened one of them on a Sunday. Fifteen minutes later he was arrested, charged with vio- lating the state blue law. as was his son. Truman Rembusch, and Donald Wagner.
 In retaliation, Rembusch filed charges of Sabbath dissertation against 0. B. Anderson, city coun- cilman and druggist, accused by Rembusch of selling tobacco on Sun day. The theater owner has a list of oS other persons he declared vio lated the blue law.
 The present controversy recalls bitter fight against Sunday shows here two years ago. At that time, police officer broke down the door or a motion picture machine booth to arrest the operator.
 Anderson took up a collection to aid in prosecution of the persons arrested.
 Ralph H. Spaugh is waging the legal part of the fight for Rembusch. He indicated that if Prosecuting At torney William H, Dobbins refuses n af Ia in tho nt hoy 0S cases a mandamus suit may be filed.

ers have conceded with a decrease IN
the time necessitated for household

years ago, believes that II 1t IS not

ton the country will not be able 10

nificant that the best authorities are
coming to realize 1t.
AS Ford points out, people who
spend all their time in factories or
at other labor have little use for
automobiles. But the more they get
out and around the more they want.

The average decrease between 1927
and 1928 was half Of one per cent.

Washington. May 30.-There used
to be a theory that leisure was bad
for working people and that if they
had too much of it they would be-
come lazy and squander their SUBJ
stance, which would be a very bad
thing.
That theory appears to have been
Knocked out for good and all by the
recent report of the Committee on
Recent Economic Changes. Of which
President Hoover, as head OF the
Harding conference on unemployment
from which the committee was
formed. was chairman.
The committee paid a perfectly
beautiful tribute to leisure in a sec
ton of the report which seems to
have gone generally unnoticed. In
creasing leisure and its utilization.
the committee found, was n of the
major factors in the last few years
of prosperity.
Optional Purchases
Becoming steadily less concerned
with the primary needs Of life. food,
clothing and shelter. We now demand
a broad list Of goods and services
which the committee calls optional
purchases" The margin between the
cost of living and present-day wages
plus the increased leisure to enjoy
what used to be thought Of as luxu-
ries has tremendously increased con-
sumption and hence production OF
optional purchase" goods.
The committee has coined what
seems to be a new phrase-'thc con-
sumption Of leisure" Business has
come to realize. it says. that leisure
actually is "consumable." Further
more. that people cannot consume
leisure without consuming goods and
services, and that leisure which re-
suits from an increasing man-hour
productivity helps to create new
needs and new and broader markets.
The committee adds:
The increasing interest in the fine
arts and in science: the increased
sales Of books and magazines; tie in

interest and participation in sports
Of all kinds: the domestic pilgrimages

BIZ LHitci Press
LONDON, Dec. 6.-Storms of hur-
ricane intensity, which swept the
British Isles, the English channel
and sections of the Atlantic ocean
for nearly twenty-four hours, abat-
ed somewhat today after taking a
toll of tWenty-three lives, many in
jured and heavy property damage.
The dead included sixteen of the
crew of the British steamship
Frances Duncan, 1894 tons, which
ioundered off the Irish coast near
Waterford.
Three fishermen we're drowned
when their fishing boat vas smashed
to bits on the coast near Skerries,
Ireland. Four other victims were
claimed by the storms on land.
The herringboat Trypsena was
disabled by the storm off Yarmouth
and was being towed to port when
it broke away and was wrecked near
North Sands. The crew of ten was
rescued by rocket apparatus.
The drifter Reward was stranded
at Corton sand, was abandoned by
it's crew and later blown to sea and
sank.
Six other steamships reported
themselves in difficulty while traWl-
ers and small fishing boats sought
safety i'm port after being battered
by the storm.
