For Manchester and Salford Sun day Games and Freedom League, in order to ridicule the Sunday Ob servance Act of
1781, which pro- hibits Sunday éntertainments, have "discovered" the even sterner Acta of 1621 and 1677, and have decided to make use of them immediately.
Omcials of the league stated yesterday that prominent publie ocials throughout the country will be summoned under the Acts, which prohibit everything from Sunday golf to buying a Sunday newspaper.
No Bear-Baiting! The Daily Express legal cor- respondent writes that some of the prohibitions still in force are:-
There shall be no meetings, na- semblies or concourse of people out of their own parishes on the Lord's day for any sport or pastimes what Boever. Nor any bear-baiting bull-baiting, Interludes, common plays, or other unlawful exercises or pastimes used by any person or persons within their own parishes No carrier with a horse, or waggon man with a waggon, or car- man with a cart, or drover with any cattle may travel upon the Lord's Day.
No butcher may kill or sell any ment upon the Lord's Day.
No methylated spirit may be sold between 10 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on the following Monday,
No meeting of any corporation, ecclesiastical or civil or of any public company may be held on a Sunday, and any busincas done thereat is void.
No one may sell milk between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Sundays,

OF FOOD POISONING.
Theory of Snake in Soup.
HOSTEL TRAGEDY.
Forty-three boys of the London Mission Boarding House at Erode, Coimbatore District, have died and as many more are in hospital from eating some poisonous sub- stance with their evening meal (says The Statesman).
It is believed in the Coimbatore district that a snake fell into the food and was cooked with it.
Doctors battled in vain with the poison, which caused the sufferers intense pain.
Students Collapse. According to reports, ten of the boarders collapsed after supper and others became ill during the night, when a number of deaths occurred.
The death-roll is estimated at 43 and about 30 boys are lying in a precarious condition In hospital.
The cook belonging to the hostel is reported to be among the dead.
Two theories of the occurrence are put forward, first that the boys died of cholern; eccondly, that a poisonous snake resembling the deadly aranai fell into the soup and was cooked with it. One of the missionaries stated that he was in- clined to believe the latter version, as the teaching section of the hostel folt no ill effects.
The water used at the meal was taken from a well and is being examined. Many of the remaining i students have dispersed to their vil- lages, but steps are being taken to watch for signs of infection.
The strength of the poison may be gauged from the fact that, though medical assistance was once obtained from the adjoining hospital, the doctors were powerless to relieve the ageny of the sufferers.

WOMAN PLANS SUNDAY BOXING.
The Ring Controller To Defy Ban,
Mrs. Dick Burge, controller of The Ring, Blackfriars, stated that she intenda to carry оп at the noted boxing hall in spite of the London County Council deci- slon regarding Sunday boxing.
Mrs. Burge has been in control of the hall since the death of her hus- band, Dick Burge, twelve years ago. Mr. Victor Berliner is her general manager, and programmes will be etaged on Mondays and Thursdays and on Sundays.
Mrs. Burge, who is an adopted sister of the late Marlo Lloyd, is the enly woman boxing promoter in the world.
Governor-General Dwight Davis and his daughter, Miss Cynthia Davis, and Mr. Dwight Davis, Jun., welcomed the party to Manila.
An elaborate programme of en- tertainment has been prepared by the Polo Club (of which Mr. For- bes was the founder) for the dis→ tinguished visitors, and polo matches and a gymkhana are be- ing arranged in their honour.- Reuter.
UNINSURED MOTORIST.
Insurance Should Be Compulsory.
An inquest was held at Salford on William Henry Abraham (17), of Walmer Street, Salford, who, when cycling came into collision with a | off side to pass a tram-car on a loop motor-car which had turned to the
line at Hindley, receiving injuries from which he died. The driver of the car, Joseph Sherry (20), of Shaw, said he had driven for only two months and had not taken out a policy of insurance.
A verdict of accidental death was returned, and the Coroner, Mr. Ho- ward Flint, in consuring the driver at the jury's request, said, "I have wondered why legislation was not passed years ago to make insurance compulsory on the part of all road. users.. I have often found that cyclists, and motorists have been clearly to blame for inflicting sert- ous injury upon pedestrians, yet they have been in impecunious cir cumstances, and there has been con- siderable loss to the persons injured trough no fault of their own"
