WASHINGTON.-The department

ers to be known as the United States
boys working reserve. Its operations
will be directed from Washington by
William Edwin Hall, of New York,
president of the Boys Club fedora
ton.
Bryan Tour West.
Two announcements of the day
bearing on the food situation were
a definition of the duties to be per-
formed by Herbert C. Hoover as
chairman of the food commission of
council of national defense. and the
statement that William J. Bryan
would tour the west to help spread
the agricultural departments appeal
for increased food production. Mr..
Hoover, it was stated, will advise the
best means of assisting the allies to
meet their food needs and will assist
state agencies and communities in
meeting their food problems.
Aside from the wheat and potato
crop there had been no indicated
shortage of staple foodstuffs, says
secretary of agriculture Houston.
Nations Wheat Needs.
The nation needs for its normal
domestic requirements about 64O,-
100000 bushels of wheat a wear, he
explained, including 100000 bush
els for seeding purposes. That
amount was about this years crop.
Last year the nation had a Garry
over" of about 170,OOO,0OO bushels
of wheat. From July l last until
March l last the amount exported
was about 1870, 100000 bushels. With
all these facts in mind, the secretary
said it was hard to determine the
cause for 1892 wheat.
''Probably," he said, "there is part
ly an economic Justification; partly
there is apprehension that the low
prices paid a few years ago will be
paid again, AS to what extent prices
may be controlled have no facts on
which to base an opinion"
Figures were given showing that
the production of corn, barley, oats,
rice, potatoes, and other necessities
was as large last year as at any time
for several years past.

'TY-BR|-SA" NAME
OF NEW PAVILION
RECENT EMPLOYE OF DAWSON
NEWS ONE OF WINNERS OF
PRIZE OFFERED BY THE CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD.

The Savannah Morning News of
recent date says "Ty-Bri-Sa" is
to be the name of the Central of
Georgia railways big new $4,000
pavilion ad bath houses at Tybee.
Three different contestants for the
s25 prize the Central offered for the
suggestion of the most suitable name
for the pleasure and amusement
place suggested the name of ''Ty.
breeze" and yesterday afternoon the
judges, after several days work
given over to the consideration of the
thousands of names that were sent
in to the contest department, select
ed this name. But the further decis-
ion was made, however, that it be
given Spanish spelling and pro-
nounciation on the last syllable, max
ing the actual name of the pavilion.
The three joint winners in the con-
test for the $25 prize, each of whom
suggested the name "Tybreeze," are
Miss Camille Flood of No. sol st.
Julian street, east; Miss Courtenay
Stovall North of No. 313 Hall street,
east, and Edward Z. Sack of No. 312
Tattnall street. Mr.. Sack is known in
Dawson having recently been tenn
porarily employed by The News as a
linotype operator.
Since there were three contestants
suggesting the name that was accept
ed by the judges, each will receive
one-third of the S25 prize.
"Ty-Bri-Sa," according to officials
of the Central Of Georgia, is most ac-
eeptable to them and will have its ad-
vertising value to Savannah as well
as Tybee Island. 1t is short, euphoni-
Gus and peculiarly appropriate for
Tybee and expresses in a word one of
the chief charms of the resort, its
cooling breezes.
J There were number Of other
suggestions made in which the word
breeze appeared, appearing either in
English or in foreign languages, but
only the name suggested by the three
joint winners of the prize met the
eXactlng requirements in the judy
ment of the committee.
Suggestions came in from almost
every state in the union. and the la
Dor Of reading them and passing on
the merits of so many good ideas
was no small task. The committee
of judges found its work most inter
estlng, however, in that the respons-
es evidenced much originality and
thought on the part of the thousands
of people who participated in the
contest.
Many contestants suggested the
names of a number of the leading
officials Of the Central of Georgia,
believing that these might possibly
listen good" to the judges. Such was
not the case, however. The names
suggested included Baldwin" "Win-
burn, Robinson" Noise" former
general manager of the road; Cen
trail Family" "Bone-Dry," Wood
row." "Fifty-fifty," Paradise and
Waterloo
The new bathing suits ordered by
the Central, which will be placed in
service at the new bath houses, have
arrived in the different styles re-
celved in the consignment are now
being displayed in the show windows
