OLD “BLUE LAW” HAS STUCK
All Efforts to Amend Famous Statute
of Pennsylvania Have Thus Far
Been Unavailing.
Once more an effort is to be made
to amend the most famous of all
laws on the statute books of Penn-
sylvania—the venerable blue law, en-
acted April 22, 1704.
It is said that at every regular ses
gion of the legislature during the 125
years since that awful crimp was put
in Sunday conviviality, an attempt has
been made to repeal It entifely or to
amend it, Girard writes In the Phila-
delphia Press,
But that old law entitled “An act
for the prevention of vice and Im
morality and for other purposes,” has
survived all the assaults of those who
would destroy it,
A century and a quarter of world
revolution. of tumbiing thrones, of daz-
zing inventions and economic and so
cial changes finds that statute of 1704
as unbreakable and rigid as the eter
nal! laws of the Medes and Persians,
Those old legigjation bricks of 17M
regarded it as being vastly more
wicked to shoot a’ rabbit on Sunday
than to drink a hot toddy.
One offender was tagged with a fine
of 225, the other a shilling and a half.
It was impossible under a strict en-
forcement of that law to operate a
eanal hoat, a rallroad train, a street
railway car, a cab or sell any com-
modity from a loaf of bread to a pack-
age of chewing gum.
Every seventh day the state of Penn-
eylvania was expected to freeze up
completely like a good bird dog when
he sees a quall,

The wood fire in the open grate. The
quiet hour of a wintry evening. Who
does not revel in the combination? The
pictures in the flames. The musings
as the fire crackles, the only sound in

Ancients In Persia, In other lands
and times, worshiped fire. It was the
symbol of purity, purlication. Poets
have found the fire on the hearth an
inspiration. Painters have seen ple
. tures in the glowing coals. We see
wanthem, too, in the silence of the evening
But the wood fire in the open grate
is more than a gymbol of purity, more
than a creature comfort, more than a
sign of personal prosperity, more than
fa setting for dream pictures. It's a
symbol of action. It's a picture of
ambition. It's an incitement to en.
