list of those who Sunday played

nents of the blue laws, took this
method of trying to get rid of the
laws.
Ten baseball games were halted
in Trenton by police who took the

In New Brunswick, N. j.. baking
company's truck delivered a cargo
of forbidden bread and rolls with
out molestation. uespite the an
nounced intention Of police to con-
fiscate any bread under the old
laws.
The drive to enforce the blue
laws started after many Trenton
ministers campaigned against Sun
day motion picture shows. The
sheriff and police commissioner, OPP
posing the laws, decided to enforce
them to the letter, in the hope that
this would lead to their repeal.

PRICE MOVEMENT
 AGAIN IRREGULAR
Key Stocks Display Resistance When Near Low Levels .

New York, Sept. 25 LP - Price movement in the curb market today cut an irregular swath as traders strove to get their bearings, after the devastation wrought yesterday. The principal consolation for those on the long side was the resistance displayed by key stocks, when de- pressed within shooting distance of the low levels reached before the rally set in in the final hour yester- day.
 Heavy tone prevailed and there were fresh displays of weakness throughout the list, although in the main, price movement narrowed and was subject to alternate currents of buying and selling. The volume of business was under the high level of yesterday.
 A slightly lower trend was in evil dence in the utility group although the principal pressure was applied to a few stocks. Electric Bond X, Share dipped to a fraction above yesterdays low and occasionally made small rallies and on the whole moved uncertainty. United Light & Power, American and Foreign Pow CT warrant and Missouri -kansas S Pipe Line suffered from the selling movement but found support slight ly above yesterdays low prices. Bearish activity carried Standard Oil of Kentucky and Gulf down to new lows for the year on the days movement before some ground was recovered. Standard Oil of Indiana duplicated it's 1880 low and selling dominated the movement of Hous- ton. Cities Service stood out by con- trast, holding fairly steady.
 There was considerable irregular ity in the industial section. Deere rallied in sympathy with the strong recovery of the grain market, and A. o. Smith, Newmont Mining, Great Atlantic & Pacific were well supported. In contrast was the weakness of Technicolor and Crock CT Wheeler, both of which sought new bottoms. Crocker Wheeler was more active than in many sessions and short selling carried 1t down more than three points.

PROBATION ABUSES
 T0LD-BY ERSKINE
Cheshire Reiormatory Head Speaks to RotarianS Of This City

Abuse of the probation system brings disrespect for law and in some instances is responsible for increas- ing the population at the Connecticut reforma,ory at Cheshire, according to George C. Erskine. superintendent who spoke at the Rotary club meet ing at the Burritt Hotel today.
 It is not uncommon for boys to be sent 10 Cheshire who have four or five probation periods uncancelled MT. Erskine said, and added that re- ccntly a boy was sent there who had been on probation il times from none of which he was discharged He said the boy could not under stand why he was sent to Cheshire serious as previous crimes.
 Cheshire gets those of'weak wills he stated, adding "the weak boys are the first to fall in times of de. pression."
 Magazines and motion picture shows which depict the master crook as a super man, shrewd, bright and capable are all wrong, the speaker declared. If a crook were that kind of a man he wouldn't land in prison" he emphasized.
 Mentally Defective
 Fully one third of the boys in the institution are mentally defec- tive, but. although there has been Q bill in the legislature for the past three terms for adequate provisions for special treatment for the mental ly defective" he continued.
 Mr. Erskine was asked if boys at Cheshire were permitted to use to- bacco, He said the use of tobacco in the institution is regulated. Boys are not permitted cigarettes becaust of fire danger, but they are allowed to smoke pipes at certain times and in certain places. They may chew tobacco as much as they wish.
 Many boys go wrong, he said, be- cause the spirit if adventure, which is found in all persons is misdirect- ed. They steal. not because they want to be criminals but because they want to do something for a thrill.
 He advocated stressing respect for family name and traditions, and suggested more fully the use of such institutions as the Y. M. c. A., Boy Scouts, Boys club. and similar or ganizations. "Instill into them g desire to do the right thing and they won't go wrong" he said in conclu- sion.
 A. H. Scott, Logan E. Page an. E. W. Bennett will motor to Green field, Mass, tonight to attend a charter night meeting there.
