MIDGET GOLF FIRM | FIGHTS BLUE LAWS ‘Appeal Is Taken to Supreme Court on Virginia Sunday Closing Statute. By the Associated Press. The Virginia Sunday closing law was attacked as invalid in an appeal filed in the Supreme Court today by the Broad-Grace Areade Corporation of Richmond, owners of a miniature golf course. The concern is attempting to prevent the commissioner and director of public safety and the police chief from interfering with its business on Bunday. The Sunday law was codified in 1930 and prohibits any person from laboring on Sunday at any trade or employing others to do so except in household and other “werk of necessity” or charity. For each violation a fine of $5_is imposed. The controversy was precipitated in & three-judge ral Court, the coxxn- ration insisting that the prohibition against “werk of necessity” was too vague and imposed a standard of moral fitness or prug:iety, in violation of the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment. The corporation insisted also that it was s denial of equal pro- tection of the law asserting confec- tionery establishments, swimming pools and automobile service suuam were permitted to operate on Sunday while gasoline and mawspapers were being sold on that day without interference. The Federal District Court pointed out that the Virginia State Court had recently on. three occasions, sustained the law and had declared that the term “work of necessity” was a question for the jury to decide. Under these cir- cumstances it sustained the law and refused to enjoin its enforcement. It found that the corporation was not a victim of arhitrary or unfair dis- erimination.

The musical “Believe It or Not”’ Our Supports for RUPTURE —are different from all others; dif- ferent in principle, construction, material and application. We do not use steel bands, elastic belts, understraps, adhesive plasters nor an to interfere with free girculation. We do- not give ANY pressure on hips or back. Our sup- ports stay in place, give the patient ‘entire freedom of and permit him to do anyth! he is otherwise physically able to do. They are so constructed and fitted to each individual case that the most delicate child or woman can get comfort and security. They also give immediate relief in the mpst severe cases. Where Others Fail We Succeed These supports can now be seen and tested right here in Washing- ton. A local man, whom we helped last week said, “If the people in Washington knew of these suj g\ would sell thousands of m e For over sixty years we have made and fitted these supports in Boston. Patients have come to Boston from all ports of the country for treat- ment. Only recently we decided to establish sales and service rooms in the larger centers throughout the U.S.and a local aged lawyer patient on learning of this fact, shook his finger in the writer's face and said, “Mr. Baker, if you don't carry this to the public you are criminaily re- sponsible.” I cannot here tell you the vast difference in feeling in comfort be- tween hernia supports which com- press all parts of the lower body and ours, which gives relief to the af- fected parts without injury to eir- culatory or nervous systems.
