have been iYrttoduced m the legislature
at various times, in recent years to
effect the change, only to meet with
failure.
Commercialized amusements are not
permitted in the State now, by general
interpretation of the laws, but in a
great many places soft drinks, cigars
and cigarettes, and gasoline have been
sold without restriction. Many of the
smaller towns, howevet, have ordi
nances prohibiting the selling even of
these articles.
Motoring, swimming in season and
golfing constitute the only sports gen
erally participated in on Sundays.
Last week, Governor Richards said
he had instructed his constables to

laws, but there were no reports made
of their activities.

erate with the governor in the en

garding the city ordinances along the
same line.
The Sunday laws have in recent
years been more or less generally dis
regarded in the State. The oldest of
tlpese laws was enacted in 1611 it is
said, and provides:
“Penalty for working on Sunday.
No tradesman, artificer, workman, la
borer, or other person whatsoever,
shall do or exercise any worldly labor,
business of work of their ordinary
calling upon the Lord’s Day (common
ly called the Sabbath), or any part
thereof (work of necessity or charity
only excepted), and every person be
ing of the age of fifteen years or up
wards offending, shall, for every such
offense, forfeit the sum of $1.00.”
The laws regarding the observance
of the Sabbath, including the one
above quoted, are found in sections
713, 714, 715, 716, 717, 718, and 719
of the criminal code of 1922. Oth
ers provide:
“Penalty for selling goods on Sun
day. No person or persons' whatso
ever shall publicly cry, show forth or
expose for sale any wares, merchan
dise, fruit, herbs, goods or chattels
whatsoever, upon the Lord’s Day, or
any part thereof, upon pain that every
person so offending shall forfeit, the
