Washington, D. C.—Public pa
rades of masked Ku Kluxers in
Ihe District of Columbia are for
bidden by a regulation just
adopted by tbe Board of Commis
sioners. Demonstrations by tbe
Klan in towns in Virginia, oppo
site Washington, and announce
ments that the organization was
about to have a procession in na
tional capital prompted the pro
hibition.
An unintentional bit of humor
in the regulations is a provision
excepting legitimate circus clowns
from its operation.
The regulation makes no speci
fic mention of the Ku Klux Klan,
but was drafted to anticipate and
prevent its public appearance
here. The regulation provides:
• “Processions and parades, ex
cept funerals, shall not be allow
ed except by permit of the Major
and Superintendent of Police,
which permit shall designate the
time and route of such proces
sion or paradfc, and no part of
such procession or parade shall
move except according to the
terms of such permit; provided,
however, that no permit shall be
issued for any profession or pa
rade of any group, body or or
ganization, the members of which
arc so costumed, dressed, mask
ed or disguised as to be unrecog
nizable; provided, that this pro
vision shall not apply to persons
jostumed as clowns taying part in
authorized circus parades.”

Sunday Checkers Fought
By “Lord’s Day League”
Boston,—The Lord’s Day Lea
gue of New England is opposing
a law mailing it legal to play
checkers and chess in Massachu
setts on Sunday. If you play
such dangerous games here now
you may land in jail.
Last summer a young cripple
in Brockton started to play
checkers with a friend in one of
the parks. He was arrested,
brought into court, and found
guilty of “gaming on the Lord’s
day.”
The judge who had to find him
guilty under the law, refused to
sentence him. The present at
tempt to legalize checkers and
chess on Sunday is the direct
result of this case.
