dent of the organization, recently in
dorsed for the post of District Com

sided and discussed the plan for the
elections
An agreement he said. has practical
ly been effected which will allow a com

date.
The executive committee of the CO.
lumbia Heights Association has gone
on record as favoring j. Clinton Hiatt,
secretary of the association for the
community secretaryship at the Powell
School.
That there are quite a number of
children in Washington of school age
who do not attend was brought out
when Mr.. Hiatt introduced resolu-
ton urging parents to see that the
children attend school public or other
wise, thereby receiving the training
in the essential elementary teachings
necessary in preparing them for life's
duties as true public spirited and pa
triotic citizens of the United States
government" This was passed and a
copy will be sent to the board of edu
cation.
Various improvements of streets.
lights, etc. recently recommended to
the District Commissioners by the exc
cutive committee of the section. it was
pointed out, included the provision that
these improvements should only be
made with the consent of the interested
property owners, the members of the
association having in mind the pro-
visions of the Borland amendment,
which assesses cost of improvement on
the abutting property owners.
Hosea B. Moulton and II. w T. Jen-
ner were elected to mem berShip in the
association.

Advertise by Posters.

A number of dealers have posters in
their places advising preparation for
the approaching dry season. and. it is
stated, some persons have bought large
supplies. Temperance people are ad-
vising against filling cellars with liquor
for the stated reason that Congress
soon will enact a measure providing
against possession of ardent spirits.

measure will be prepared and sub
mitted. it is expected. at the next
session. and dry forces are confident
it Will become a law.
Liquor dealers have had many months
in which to consider what they will do
when the dry law becomes effective
Many of them, it is stated. will not even
close their doors. having already ar
ranged to continue as soft drink en-
poriums and ice cream parlors or for
some other business that appeals to
them. Many of them will close. how
ever, not seeing their way clear to fol-
low in the footsteps of the brewers
and install other businesses.
Some saloonkeepers will be able to
retire from business, having accumu-
lated small fortunes, but many others
will quit heavily in debt. In a number
of instances, II is stated. dealers pur-
chased their businesses so soon before
the enactment of the dry law that they
have not been able even to pay off the
trusts they assumed. Only last week
one saloonkeper was forced to go out
of business. and the fixtures of the
place, which cost about $4,000, it is
stated. were sold for less than 500

No Auction Sales, They Say.

1t is said that many persons believe
some of the dealers will auction off the
last OF their stocks. and some of the
patrons hope they will thereby be able
to get last-minute wet goods at re-
markably low prices. Several dealers
have made it plain that they have no
such intention. They say there will be
no cheap selling of staple, goods in a
wav that is likely to create disorder.
and thus leave something that will lon z
be unpleaSantly remembered by the
people Of Washington.
"If anything" said one dealer. 81 will
be disposed 20 close my place long before
