The South maintains an exemp tion; In favor of the bona fide traveler. Omeath In County Louth In the Free State is half a mil of water across the border from Northern Ireland. and on Sundays large numbers of Northern excursionists go there to avail themselves of the privilege of Sunday drinking granted in the Free State. ("Drunkenness Is not the only evil which these unworthy mem bers of society exhibit," says the archbishop. They hate also j brought' with them the practice ot dancing, degraded, dances from which decent paganism would re coil, and they are quite unabashed In desiring further facilities, for drink and dancing In Juxtaposi tion.' He advocates the closing' of public houses on Sunday altogether. FIRE HAZARDS DERATED PORTLAND, "Sept." A. (By As sociated Press.)
