Blue Law Enforcement Fizzles As Governor Waits For Supreme Court (By Henry Lesesne, INS Staff! Correspondent.) Columbia, S. C.—Governor John | G. Richards’ widely-heralded blue law enforcement campsifn has) “fitzled”—for the time being. The Governor has withdrawn his personally controlled constabulary from the resort towns and has intimated that he will let things come as they may until the Stale Supreme Court has a say-so, about the ancient Sabbath statutes. When the hijch tribunal will ren der a decision straightening out the controversy which has thrown the pugnacious little Palmetto Stats into turmoil, Is not known ! However, the newly-inaugurated1 Governor has made ft plain that be will seek an early test of the Colonial laws. Golf, for the past few Sundays, has been played at Camden and j Aiken, the state’s two resort towns, and at the large cities, while gasoline also has been sold in the larger places. However, for I the present, smokes and soft drinks are still under the guber-1 notorial ban, and bootleg prices' prevail. That the Governor’s aim in bringing about the blue law cru sade was not to affect a modifica tion of the three-century old Sab bath laws was seen in his vote of the bill in the State Legisla ture which would have made the Sunday observance les stringent. The modification bill would have permitted the placing of certain games which would not disturb the peace of the Sabbath, and would have allowed the sale of certain neeesitics. It would have prohibited, however, the sale of soft drinks and tobaccos. With all the publicity that the blue campaign gained. the inef fectual arrests at a half dozen cities, and all that, there are thou sands of South Carolinians who see no change in the observance of Sunday in South Carolina from wlmt it always was. In practically all of the numer ous towns of from 2,000 to 10,000 population which make up South Carolina, "blue Sundays” have been observed since the oldest inhabi tants can remember. This observ ance, was, in practically every case brought about by local laws. Within tile corporate limits of these towns, gasoline, as a rule, could be bought on Sundays only by permit from city or police'of ficials. However, there were a few roadside stations in the rural sec tions that were meccns for Sun day motorists. Soft drinks, tobaccos and ice cream were, as a rule, banned on Sunday, although the latter could Ik obtain at cafes if i.ot at drug stores. Of course, it was an easy matter to get cigarettes or soft drinks at cafes, when the small notice force was on the other side of town. And so the only noticeable change in things, say the oppon ent-- of the “blue law” movement, is that n cold drink now costs 11 cents, as a slice of cake has to be bought nlong with it, and an or dinary 17 cents package of ciga rettes is costing anywhere from 25 to 50 cents cn Sunday, at latest bootleg quotations. Sunday baseball always hak been unheard of in the Palmetto state, and golf was never played outside the resort towns and the four of five principal cities. AUSTRIAN COURT REFUSES TO MAKE SHORT SKIRTS | OROUNDS FOR DIVORCE (By International News Service.) Vienna—Short skirts are not grounds for divorce in Austria and a court hero has refused to sepa rate Max Ritter from his wife on this charge which the husband made in his petition. The court, ruled that the fashion of the day i was a short skirt and any woman j could we».r n short skirt without' suggesting immorality. Ritter claimed that his official position as a government head clerk demanded that he anti his family set a good example for the other people and that wife had caused a sensation, painful to him, when she appeared in a summer resort in a short skirt. The court admitted a sensation he caused by a short skirt but that was what modern women sought to do by ; wearing fashionable clothes. When David Morse, a tramp, j was sent to jail for seven days at | Winchester, Eng., his dog waited j at the prison gate until his mas-1 ter was released.

R ..us,.. ->-1 ... Mrs. McKimmcn's Report Shows 25,995 Persons Received In struction Last Year. A large number of North Caro linians were instructed last year through the work of the homo demonstration agents in the state, the annual report of Mrs. Jane McKimmcn, assistant director of extension at State College, shows. The report shows that 25,995 persons received instruction in some phase of home demonstration work during 1920 from the 52 white home demonstration agents and the six negro agents, who worked with the women and girls of the state. XNot only did me women ana girls attend the home demonstra tion classes, but the report shows that 58* men and 1.162 boys were enrolled in the 1,300 clubs and Mrs. McKimmon says these wo men, girls, men nnd youths of the 976 communities represented w-r* by the work “vitalised thereby.” Home demonstration work is divided into four districts for ad ministration purposes. Various counties appropriated on an aver age the sum of $1,660 for white agents and $450 for the negro workers. She said that in conducting the work the home agents map out a plnti to follow during the venr. It includes outlines and methods of presenting foods and nutrition, clothing, house furnish'ng. home management, gardening, poultry dairy work, landscape design, arts and crafts. \ “The plans were carried out last year 99 per cent perfectly Mrs. McKimmon asserted, adding that results obtained by the home 'inputs las, year indicate that the efforts of the agents are having a favorable response, and citing as an indication of this the organiza tion of supporting councils of farm women and girls who aid the agent in her work. | “Last year,” the* report show? j “45 counties had councils of farm I women and 19 had similar organi zations for the girls. Thp records I show that 10,097 women and 7,992 girls took work in food prepara tion. In food preservation work, 8.510 women and 4,704 girl:; were enrolled. About 21,000 girls and women took work in nutrition in which emphasis was placed on ! more careful food selection and preparation an efort to estab I lish better food habits among the 1 people. The use of home grown products from the garden, orchard, dairy and poultry yard was urged in this work. Clothing Popular Project Clothing was also a popular pro ject among the club women and girls. About 13,000 persons took 1 part in this work. The girls made 'new aprons nnd club outfits while the women used paterns and pro duced valuable additions to their ward-robes. “Many club women," the report goes on, “began to keep household accounts, to rearrange their kitch ens, to add labor-saving devices and to improve the sanitary ar rangements and the beauty of the house nnd yards because of the in spiration gained at club meetings." At 24 curb markets, conducted j largely through the work of home I agents, the farm women last year ! sold products amounting in value to |259,105. At these markets the j women sen tunes, poultry, guruvn j vegetables, canned goods, flowers, ! and any other surplus material that was produced on the farms, i Other women, trained to prepare first quality material, have sold much material by parcel post ; while others have contribuieu ( their extra hens to the cooperative carlol sales, the report showed. , Work In Fairs The home agents have also taken a leading part in organis ing and exhibiting at Community and county fairs. They have held ! successful club encampments and j short courses for both women and I girls. They have given countless j demonstrations which were at i tended by thousands of individuals., Mrs. McKimnio?) said they are ' meeting the needs of the farm I women of North Carolina and are I ; rendering a distinct service that resulting in better homes, Krcat'S health and richer contentmm among those who live jn r districts.
