EVIDENCE
C. B. Rosenberg, Pleading Not
Guilty, to Appeal to Circuit
Court of Arlington County

The ancient, straight-laced Sun.
day blue laws, tucked away in
a musty corner of the Virginia
statutes, scored a sweeping vic
tory in Arlington county today.
Here is the evidence:
C. B. Rosenberg, 500 block

in Justice Harry I. Thomas court.
Clarendon, for. painting his house
on Sunday two weeks ago.
The Sabbath-breaker pleaded
not guilty and through his at
torney. Hugh McCaffery, an
nounced his intention of appeal.
ing his conviction to the circuit
court of Arlington county. He
made no defense before Justice
Thomas. however.
The trial was over in six min
utes. The facts in the case-that
Rosenberg, who has been in the
habit for years of spending his
Sundays improving his house and
garden. was draping the side of
his domicile with a rich green
shade of paint-were admitted by
the defense.
The amateur brush-wielder
smiled blandly as hte $5 fine was
imposed upon him. because Judge
Thomas indicated he was in duty
bound to enforce the sacred Vir-
ginia statutes. no matter how
moth-eaten or obsolete they were.
. The National Association Op-
posed to Blue Laws threatened to
get into the fight to prevent Vir.
ginia from falling into a kill-ioy
complex. but did not appear in
the proceedings today.
Rosenberg and his friends ap.
parently are reserving their fire
until they can fight out the case
on appeal in a higher court.

first automobile ride since her
fall nearly a month ago which
severely wrenched her back and

had sufficiently recovered to
break her confinement. He
ordered one of the big limousines
and sent her for a ride through
the parks.
Mrs. Hoover Is still getting
about the executive mansion in a

herself out to the auto in it. She
was sufficiently recovered, how
ever, to get into the car by het-
self.

that Mrs. Hoover's back injury
was more serious than first
thought" He explained that
when she fell she totre several
ligaments and severely pulled all
of the major muscles in her back.
He pointed out it was quite usual
to take six to ten weeks for an
injury of this nature completely
to recover.

him. At last, unable to bear the
suspense, Stokes drove to the
Ninth precinct, parked the car
and walked in. Addressing the
officer at the desk, he said:
my name is Thomas III.
Stokes. I have just stolen a
car and have come in to give
myself up. The car is outside"
The man undoubtedly was in

Stokes was hurried off to Gallin-
ger Hospital. Authorities at that
institution Immediately returned
him to the station. however, with
the report that he was sane.
