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 suid that at every regular ses sion of the legislature during the 125 years since Hint awful crimp was put In Sunday conviviality, an attempt has been made to repeal It entirely or to amend It, Glrnrd writes In the Phila delphia Press. But that old law entitled "An net 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 qunrter of world revolution, of tumbling thrones, of daz zling Inventions and economic and so cial changes finds that statute of 1794 as unbreakable and rigid as the eter nal laws of the Modes and Persians. Those old legislation bricks of 1TSH 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 $25, the other a shilling and a half. It wns Impossible under a strict en forcement of that law to operate n cannt hont, a railroad train, a street rnllwny car, a cab or sell any com modity from a lonf of bread to a pack age of chewing gum. Every seventh day the state of Penn sylvania wns expected to freeze up completely like a good bird dog when he seec a quail. WORLD MUST HAVE NITROGEN Men of Science Preparing for the Time When the Chilean Nitrate Fielda Are Exhausted. Farmers of Europn and America have been almost entirely dependent for nearly a century upon the Ohtlenn nitrate fields, which have Mood liter ally between the world nnd starvation. Ilehlnd a plnteau 5.000 feet above the aea level and 20 miles from the Pa cific coast, la a drenry, parched, utmost rainless strip of land, where nature hns deposited millions of tons of nitro gen In the form of nitrate of soda. Not only the power to produce crops, but also the power to wage war and to develop many essential Industries depends upon nitrogen. Before the war the Avium n chemist, Ostwnld, wrote: "If a great war were to break out between two grent powers, one of which were to prevent the export of saltpeter from the few ports of Chile, It would thereby make It Impossible far the enemy to continue longer than Its ammunition supply would last." Germany bad accumulated 600,000 tons of Chilean saltpeter before the war. It Is estimated that the' Chilean nitrate beds wIJI be exhausted some time during the present century. Sci entists and engineers, therefore, are bending every effort to other means of supply. Nitrogen Is now being recov ered from the air by various processes and In several countries. . t, The Waiter's Mistake. "The French, wince Foch's victory, are ulinnst In danger of getting; swelled bend," said Immigration Com missioner Cnminettl or New York. "And no wonder! The French cer tainly displayed great military genius In this war, and praises nnd compli ments are falling on them from all Hides. "In a French restaurant the other day I ordered a steak. Then as the French waltpr turned to go, I added: 'VVYII done, waiter. "The young man. flushed with pleas ure, drew himself up and saluted smartly. ' Hut you Americans, monsieur he said, yoti Americans also covered your selves with glory at Chateau Thierry and the Ibds de Itelleau. " Lonely Telephone Station.
