It is to make any law enforcing the re- ligious observauce of days.

An overwhelming majority of them, including a multitade of OCbrisvian church members, bave uo Couscientious scruples whatever about attending any place of inno- cent amusement on Sunday even= ing.

The scheme of the company called for 312 daily and 12 monthly drawings, the entire amount of tickets afmounting t $51,332,000 per year.
