ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 3—Oppo- | nents 5f the abrogation of Sunday blue laws were to have their second day ina week before a House Commiitee today, shortly after the first test vote on the question was taken in the lower branch. The test was on the D'Alesandro measure, granting to Baltimore City Councu the right to vermit and regulate ts and entertainments in the CIW, which had been given a favorable report by the city delegation. . llearing on State-Wide Bill. Dr. W. W. Davis, executive secretary of the Lord’s Day Alllance, was to head the delegation which has been granted a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee this afternoon on the bill introduced by Speaker Francis A. Michel of Balt.more, State-wide in scope, grant- ing to the governing bocies of local units the right to permit and con‘ol all Sun- day amusements, entertainmeénts, games and retail sales. He sald today that the Rev. Leonard Smith, president of the Maryland an- nual conference of the Methodist Pro- testant Church, would head the eccle- siastical delegation which would appear before the judiciary body, of which George Hofferbert of Baltimore is chair- man. In .acdition to this. delegation of churchmen, - retail grocers and meat dealers’ asscciations of Baltimore would be represented as opponents in addition to officials of a national chain store corporation, operating in Maryland. The bill on which the hearing was scheduled has been declared constitu- tional by scme of the leading attorneys of ths State, Speaker Michel said. It contains a clause repealing all statutes inconsistent with its provisions, which, he said, precluded any ruling that it was a dcl!i’llnn of powers of the Gen- eral Assembly to local governing bodies. Basis of Constitutional Attack. ‘This has been the basis for consti- tutional attacks, Michel said, and the r. clause had been left out ‘of other measures which sought abroga- tion of the blue laws. The ancient statutes,r the speaker said, could be lifted by any local gov- ernmental body, and counties whose Delegates do not want the provisions applicable to their locality could amend it to bring about exemption. In this way he expects to gain support from many Delegates who otherwise would register their opposition. speaker has received a communi- cation from the National Association Opposed to Blue Laws, having among its officials Clarence Darrow, noted Chi- cago_criminal attorney; Gov. George W. P. Hunt of Arizona and Rupert Hughes, the novelist, offering assistance in seeking passage of his bill.

HE vast Hall of the Americas in the Pan-American Union was host last night to one of the most interesting concerts of the year and to one of the most brilliant audiences seen at any musical event during the past sea- son. Not only was the main room filled to over- flowing, but ex- tra chairs were placed at the head of the HENSEY ADDRESSES CLUB Masonic League Vice President Speaks to G. W. U. Men. Dr. Melville D. Hensey, second vice president of the National League of Masonic Clubs, spoke before a meeting of the Masonic Club of George Wash- ington University held last night in the men’s lounge at Stockton , Twen- tieth and H streets. Dean Arthur F. Johnson, acting dean | of the School of Engineerin; 1ge Washington University, also spoke. placed symbol cally above the United Service Orchestra, which was Playln( a program of Latin American music. And to the. left the assisting artists of the tvenmg waited for their turn at the top, of the long stairway. Not only musi- cally, bul soclally and colorfully, it was a decidedly interesting event. The Pan-American Union has; in fact, become & real mecca at which Latin American composers may pre- sent their musical wares. It a very great honor to be ailowed the privilege of a “premiere rendition” at one of these concerts. And, fur- thermore, it has become something of a tradition to incorporate also the ‘best soloists from the Latin Americas available. Last night's concert was particu- larly fortunate, not only with the new compositions played—and the pleasing manner and method in whlch the United Service Orchestra played them—but in the assisting artists, Isabel de Perez Dupuy, s0- prano, and Tito Guizar, tenor. The latter. especially, had a voice of ex- cellent timbre, as well as a pleasing personality, summed up by one of the audience as the “Mexican Mau- rice Chevalier.” Senor Guizar's voice is, however, far removed from the music-hall type. being a clear and bold tenor suitable for the best of the opera houses and one that may be expected to be heard from much more frequently in the future. Accompanied in one of his selections by his guitar, he proved himself to be a first-class composer as well as a singer, two of his own composi- a No Eres Tu” and “Agua- —ranking high among the in- teresting musical works of the eve- ning. Senora Dupuy's most popular selection was the “Canta, Canta Llanerito,” by Bonet, which she sang most effectively and which was the signal for an ovation from the audi- ence afterward. Of the compositions which had their first rendition the ones that e Perez Dupuy ‘The ideal height for women, declares a London physical training expert, is 5 {leet 6 inches, with breadth in propor- on, During Childhood Lay the Foundation for a Healthy Skin By Regular Use of CUTICURA Soap and Ointment Teach your children the Cutleura habit Soup 25c.
