Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN It seems the blue law plague is about to descend on Salem with a vengeance. One ordinance introduc ed at the council last night would prohibit all Sunday store dealings. Another would make it unlawful to "rub, polish or shine shoes on Sun day." Another is to cut out all noises from crowing roosters, cackling hens. barking dogs, tooting automobile horns, clattering steam shovels, or whatnot. We presume the latter ordinance will put a clamp on shouting at softbali games, allowing band con certs In the evening, church music at night and the like. One sugges tion is a requirement for rubber wheels on trains pissing through the village between 10 p.m., and 7 If any bevy of hens or band of dogs can make more noise than the shouting thousands at last night's softbali ctrnival then the FT & BA will serve fried bacon rinds at Its next annual banquet. They're going to gag the rooster, Put a muffler on the hen. But who'll provide the muzzles For the city councilmen? And the ordinance is completely silent on the subject of Walt Win slow making a closing argument be fore a Marion county jury. And there's the shoe shine ordi nance, which would make it imper ative that folks have their shoes sinned and their baths on the same night. It begins to look, almost, as If when a euv wants to ffet into an ar gument with his wife he'll have to shut, the windows and slam tne doors or the cops will be on his trail. Gardner Knapp and his little green Ford made another perilous trip through the city streets the other day. Unattended he hauled $2,000,000 from his print shop to the city hall. No police guards for that guy. This Is the second $2,000,000 trip for the flivver. However, on the sec ond trip he was a Uttle more wor ried than the first one as he also had his fishing license In his pocket which really made it a $2,000,003 trip. The four million dollars In question being city bonds and inter est coupons they may have been more Interesting to taxpayers than to gangsters and a lot. of taxpayers were sort of hoping somebody would slug Gardner and get away with the bonds but more particularly hoping they'd slug Gardner. If the city council really Intends to clamp down on the noise around town they'll have to have their bonds hauled In the future by some other rig than Gardner's, And as for real noise there's the mayor making talks at the civic clubs. It the antl-noi ordinance attempts to put a qietus on that look out for the veto. All the guys carrying Johnny Or- avec's petitions are asked to get them to Parker's by Friday night so they can be In the hands of the canvassing board by Saturday. Fishing Strike Near Settlement, Belief Astoria, July 21 (Pi An end to the strike which has tied up the northwest trolling fleet since June appeared close today. Coos Bay members of the Pacific Coast Fisheries Union accepted price offers made by Puget Sound buyers and the action was believed to foreshadow similar acceptance here. Whipped by a 65 mile wind the storm poured torrential rain over a 300 mile wide strip. Property damage at Dallas was estimated at $300,000. half of which was to the Texas Centennial exposition. At Tishomingo. Akla 4 31 Inches of rain fell In three hours. Scattered rains brought soma re lief to parts of Colorado. Wyoming and western Nebraska, where tem peratures ranged tn the nineties yesterday while states to the east enjoyed a respite from the neat. Lloyd predicted temperatures close to the 100 mark for today. "(Concluded en pal tTeolumn $7 DR.

For with Britain's royal family in half mourning for King George, there could be none of the gran deur of formal presentation In the white and gold ballroom for the debs of 1938. Only the colors of the flowers vie with the women's dresses; for the men, from the king downwards, wort sombre tail-coats and shining silk hats. Probably this year debutantes were the first ever to make their curtsey on the close-cropped grass ot the palaoe lawns; certainly they were the first to pay homage to a sovereign dressed in mufti. At eve' Ding courts the king always ap pears In the full-dress uniform of an admiral or field-marsnai. As each deb stepped forward to where the king sat under the red and gold silk canopy of the Durbar tent, the lord chamberlain called her name, but the girls were not presented by an older woman ac cording to the usual custom.
