Virginia Judge Scores 4. B. c.
Liquor Sale. in Jury Charge

There are conflicting laws on the
Sunday sale Of wine and beer, he said.
Sundays have become legal days
to dispense beers and ale, wines and
champagne, something that was not
permitted even in the old bar room
days, Notwithstanding the statute law
of this State prohibits the sale of
wine, beer. ale and champagne, or
other Intoxicating liquors on Sunday.
Under the law, not even bottle Of
ginger ale can be sold on Sunday"
The Judge issued warning to
county officers against carelessness or
neglect in enforcing liquor laws, and
served notice that any officer cited
to him as being neglectful in his
duties would be required to show why
he should not be removed.
Pointing out that Stafford received
$4,068 as Its part Of A. B. c. profits
last year, Judge Coleman said this
should be used In enforcement Of
liquor laws-particularly those rs to

down into the lake with terrifying
rumble and sent a great wall Of water
sweeping over the area.
The natives, startled from their
early morning sleep, had no chance
to escape from the great wave which
poured through the narrow valley
after the massive rock-at least 1900
feet broad and l,500 feet high-rolled
into the lake.

and nurses who few here from Bergen

CASTEL GANDOLFO, italy, Sep
tember 14.-Pope Plus XI, in strong,
passionate tones, gave his blessing be-
fore the whole world today to a mill
tant defense against the mad" forces
of communism.
Declaring these forces menaced, in
tragic Spain and elsewhere, "the very
foundations Of all order. all culture
and all civilization" the holy father,
nevertheless, invoked "a special love
born of mercy and compassion fer
the Spanish prosecutors Of bishops
and priests and called upon consti-
tuted authorities of all nations to
oppose these great evils with every
remedy and barrier that is possible. :"
He asked his listeners to "love"
these Others" in spite of their "deeds
and methods of persecution, so odious
and so cruel" and to love them with
a special love born of mercy and COM
passion, to love them, and. since we
can do nothing else, to pray for them" :"
Sees Utter Chaos"
Sadly, he foresaw utter chaos II
those who have q duty in the matter
do not hasten to repair the breach-if,
indeed, it is not already too late"
Five hundred of the Spanish ref
ugees to whom the Pontiff rendered
his heartfelt greetings and admiration
were in the throne room Of the papal
villa when the Pope entered.
As he reached the hall, the deep
notes Of the Castel Gandolfo bell tolled
in solemn beauty.
Cardinal Pacelli. the papal secretary
Of state, spoke briefly. Then the holy
father began. after raising his hand in
blessing for the refugees.
His first few words were faltering,
but his voice gradually grew strong. .
At few of the more intense mo-
ments it broke with emotion, but the
words themselves did not stumble.
Prolonged applause followed the
conclusion of the 40-minute speech
In many lands the devout heard
the plea for a militant defense which,
the Pope acknowledged. would be
both difficult and dangerous, for 1t
is only too easy for the very ardor
and dificulty Of defense to go to an
excess which Is not wholly war
ranted"
Nevertheless, he said the crisis in
Spain is a school in which the most
serious lesson is being taught to
Europe and to the whole world-to q
world now at last wholly STEPPED
ensnared and threatened by subvers-
i've propaganda, and more especially
to a Europe battered and shaken to
its very foundation.
THE tragic happenings in Spair
speak to Europe and the whole world
and proclaim once more to what extent
the very foundations of all order, al
culture and all civilization are being
menaced."
A curious feature of the speech
which was delivered in Italian anG
translated in English, German, French
and Spanish, was the fact that the
holy father not once used the word
communism" although Vatican
sources said the major portion Of il
was directed against it.
He spoke of "forces"-"forces oi
