C. PAPER “Gloomy” Sabbath Not Justified, Says Article in Columbia Magazine. American newspapers are more than half right In their ridicule of the “pletistic gentry who would make the Sabbath a self-conscious day of gloom instead of what it was meant to be, a day set apart for religious duty and recreation of mind and body,” declares the official Knights of Columbus organ, Columbla, in its cur- rent issue. The article strikes a note of warn- ing to blue law advocates concernfng dangerous soclal effects threatened by indiscriminate reform movements. On the other hand, though, the ar- ticle avers: “It must also be said that blue law advocates are not with- out some reason for their position when they can point, as sonetimes a in some places they can, to co mercialization of the Subbath demand of the working clusses, so-called, for recreation. But it the poor man is prohibited from participating in a corner-lot base ball game on Sunday his not-so-poor compatriot should certainly be inhibited from golfing on the Sabbath. ‘Wholesome recreation of whatever kind is helpful to the Sabbath rest after religious duty is fulfilled; un- wholesome pleasure s injurious al- ways and forever subject to check, even if proscription is practically un- wise or impossible. When the blue laws operate to punish the producer of so_edifying a spectacle as ‘Veron. fca’s Vell,” the American passion play, they not' only become unreasonable, but cast the comic cloak of ridicule over the whole blue movement.’ WOMAN LOSES FIGHT ON ASH REMOVAL LAW Carry-on-Club Manager Is Fined $5 in the Police Court. . Mrs. Lucy H. Boggs, superig- tendent of the Carry-On Clud, at 1600 Rhode Island avenue, charged with maintaining a nulsance at the club premises, an {institution for ex- service men, who has defled Engl- neer Commissioner Keller, in that she refused to have the ashes and refuse of the club moved, lost her fight in the District of Columbia branch of the Police Court yesterday, when she was convicted of the charge and sentenced by Judge Hardison to the nominal fine of $6. The Boggs that she could ment of the fine, which he would suspend if she desired to take probation. She paid the fine, re- fusing to be placed on probation. Mrs. Boggs' contention with Engi- neer Commissioner Keller, and those in charge of the removal of garbage, refuse and mshes, was that the Carry-On Club was a private home for the comfort of ex-service men taking vocational training and that it was operated for their benefit at cost, and as such the District of Co- lumbla government should remove the refuse and ashes. The law gov- erning such removals by the District of Columbla government—free serv- fce—Is business, apartments with more familles occupying them the ashes, garbage and moved at their expense. Under the decision of Judge Hardi- son Mrs. Boggs will have to have the refuse moved from the club premises at the expense of the club. than ust have refuse re- jolc——oj——=la]——=]a] Open Untrsl 5 PM.
