This is a fast moving age. Just the other day the
house of commons of Great Britain passed a measure
repeating all the blue laws which had been on the
statute books since l725. This is the face Of the pro-
test Of important clericals and religious bodies in Eng
land and North Ireland and Scotland and Wales.
Many OF these laws had been obsolete for years but
the church organizations demanded that the breath
OF life should BE- blown into the statutes and that they
should function from this time on. Party lines were
o5iterated. Prime Minister Macdonald Of the labor
government and former Prime Minister Chamberlain
Of the Tory government were found on the side Of
the repealers. Many Scotch and Welsh laborites voted
against their chieftains. Many Tories followed the
leadership Of Chamberlain.
On this side OF the ocean the Texas legislature pass
ed a local option movie measure. de Sun Do Move"

SHIPPERS WANT

Two Styles Crates Favored
BY Valley Interests
For Citrus
CBy staff Correspondentl


HARLINGEN. May 27.-The Ad-
visory Board OF the Valley Shippers
Assn. went on record Tuesday as
favoring both the round bottomed
and tub baskets for shipment OF cit
rus fruits IN answer 70 a question
submitted by the traffic managers ~
the Southern Pacific and Missouri
Pacific as to whether they would
like to have estimated weights es-
tablished on other than standard
containers.
Estimated weights now are pro-
vided only on standard boxes and
shipments in other than standard
boxes move on actual weights.
The carriers have received re-
quests from time 10 time to pro-
vide estimated weights on shipments
Of citrus fruits in containers other
than standard boxes and they are
now giving consideration to the pub
hcation OF estimated weights IN adj
ditional containers" SAID the letter
from the railroads.
The shippers board went on le-
cord as being in favor OF establish
ing estimated weights or both the
round bottomed and tub baskets.
They do not contemplate any con-
siderable use of the former but wish
this alternative in the event that
cost Of the latter became too high.
The round bottomed baskets are not
IN favor with the carriers nor are
likely to be used extensively by
the shippers.
