Bergdoll, member of a wealthy Philadelphia family who is serving a four-year term in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for evading selective draft, today filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the federal court at Topeka, Kansas, demanding his release. Hearings on his application will be held in the Kansas City federal court Feb. 15.

Needless to say the American Legion will do everything in its power to see that this application is not passed.

For a "Blue" Sunday.
Berwick, Pa.—Strict enforcement of Sabbath observance laws here is demanded of the police in an order by the council today. Ordinances enacted so long ago that the provisions of many of them have been forgotten will be revived. Soda fountains, ice cream parlors, newspaper stands and gasoline stations will be closed.

No Sunday new newspapers may be sold and drug stores may only dispense medicines.

Youth Says He Can't Sleep Unless He Pulls One Job.

Chicago.—Mac Walter McGrath, twenty, Joliet, Ill., who says he has been a burglar since he was seven years old; that he cannot sleep at night unless he "pulls one job," is under arrest at the Chicago avenue station. He confessed 25 burglaries in Chicago within two weeks. He begged the police to have an operation performed on his head to cure his criminal tendencies.
