No Bar for Navy Mascots After Goat Incident
The Navy Department doubts Rear Admiral Doyle’s blanket ban on mascots, noting his action at Norfolk yard after a goat charged him. Officials say the order reflects vanity rather than safety and will not extend the ban to all mascots across the service. Doyle, a tall figure at about six feet and 200 pounds, reportedly found the goat’s bite as painful as it was publicized.

Opposition to Sunday blue laws in D C agenda in Congress
W W Prescott of the Religious Liberty Association leads a public push against the Lord's Day Alliance draft bill to punish Sunday labor in the District of Columbia. A substitute measure is being prepared, with meetings to explain the proposal at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church and a public session to follow. The plan seeks to prohibit labor on Sunday except for necessity or charity, with penalties including fines and possible jail, provoking fears of religious oppression and a return to medieval restrictions.
