C. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, The bills for the District of Colum- bia, most of which were introduced in the House of Representatives dur- ing the last Congress, would provide “a day of rest” in the Natlonal Cap- ital, close barber shops and shoe-shin- ing establishments and prohibit pub- lic dancing, motion picture and the- atrical performances and public sports where admission is charged. Con- formity with the State laws regarding Sunday observance will be demanded for paval and military reservations in the various States, which would affect Fort Myer if the law Is ever applied to the District of Columbia. No explicit information was obtain- able here regarding the amount which it is propnxed to raise for the “‘war chest,” but those who are connected with the movement intimated that the wi 1 the limit.” They realize, it said, that no real beginning could he made unless several millions of dol- lars was available at the start of the campaign. Target of Reformers. The wave of crime, especially ong the young, is ostensibly the get for the reformers. Rev. Harry L. Bowlby, general secretary of the Lord’s Day Alliance, who advocates blue Sunday law to increase church ttendance, says in a call for money broadeast in the National Capital through a circular letter: You, of course, know that the in. n crime throughout the United has ‘been most alarming dur- the past decade, but do you know t our prisons now contain more minals than at any time in our | national histor | large percentage of the inmates of | our prisons are under 21 years of age { hat in the Tombs prison of New | York alone there have heen more than 10,000 boys and girls during the past m know that Soviet and similar schools throughout the United States are teaching the doctrine that J there is no God and that Christ is & myth, and that the effect of such | teaching is disastrous and is swelling ranks of criminals?” Judzes throuxhout America de- |clare that the remedy is ‘more reli- ious instruction and the right kind |of home training,”™ the circular con- tinues. | Nation-wide desecration of the Sab- bath is one of the most serious con- “Do you know that an exceptionally | tributory causes for the present alarming criminal _tendencles, Dr. Bowlby asserts, and he thinks that a Sunday observance law would help stop that. Filling the Churches. Church leaders, it was declared, are not satisfled with past efforts to halt the crime wave and except for certain local sections throughout the country, realize that little or no headway has been gailned through campaigns to bring about greater respect for the laws. While the prohibition law, in- dependently, constitutes their gravest problem at the present time, leaders in the Lord's Day Alllance, the Methodist Board of Temperance and other such organizations are agreed that model blue Sunday laws would go a great way toward filling the churches as well as paving the way for general law observance. With the Sunday lid clamped down tight on the National Capital, their spokesmen contended at the last sos- sion of Congress, that such a law would give an impetus to other States to do likewlise. Practically no headway in this di- rection was made in the last Senate, but the introduction of a number of blue Sunday bills in the House ad- vanced beyond the stage of public hearings. Representative W. C. Lank- ford, Democrat, Georgla, was one of the leadars in the Sunday observance movement for the District of Columbia Barber shops and Sunday base ball bore the brunt of the attack in the last Congress. Counting on Southerners. Reform leaders are counting upon Southern Democrats, generally, to support the next campaign for a model law in the District, owing chiefly to their readiness to vote the dictates of the Anti-Saloon League, which is the leader in the prohibition enforcement campaign. Combined with church organizations, representing practically every denomination, they feel that a tremendous pressure can be brought to bear in the next Con- gress to start the ball rolling in the District. Efforts will be made at the opening session in the House to report at least one of the half-dozen blue Sunday laws from committee so that the fight, heretofore blocked by party leaders, may be made on the open floor. Con- gress will find a very active lobby of apprehensive reformers on the job when it convenes, and if the present appeals are successful there will be no lack of ready cash in the campaign treasury to finance “flarebacks” in important congressional districts, the influence of DANCE CASE CONTINUED. Charges of engaging in an improper dance last night at a Chinese restau- rant at Ninth and E streets against 1927. Kittie M. Tarna and Zella D. Fay, now playing at one of the local theaters, were continued until tomorrow morn- ing, when the case will come up in Police Court for trial. Illness of one of the defendants caused the continuance. Each girl put up $10 collateral at the first precinct, where they were taken by Policeman H. W. Estes. According to Estes, the pair were dancing together.
