SOFT DRINK BARS FAIL
TODRAW THIRSTY FOLK

The expected rush on soft drink
emporiums did not materialize today
as was expected. In many instances
proprietors had extra soda dispensers
on duty, but 1t was certain long be-
fore noon that their services would
not be required.
Proprietors will not boost the price
or drinks as long as the ingredients
remain as they are. 1t was said at a
downtown drug store that several
wen known stimulating drinks would
advance in price soon. There is a
war tax on drinks OF this nature and
as soon as the stock In hand is ex-
haused more money will have to
Jingle over the marble counters be-
fore the beverage ls forthcoming.
Although sugar has advanced in
price, and several other ingredients
used In making ice cream have gone
skyward, pharmacists do not contem-
plate raising their prices until the
do 30. 1t is not
thought that the price Of ice cream
soda will advance for several months.

TO MAKE
D. c. BONE DRY"
ISNOWFORESEEN

II it is found that the Reed bone
dry" law does not apply to the Dis
trict of Columbia, the question OF
making It effective in the District
will be brought up in Congress the
coming winter by the dry leaders.
Excellent legal authority holds that
the Reed law does not apply to the
District. In fact, It is known that
this is the view of some of the high
est officials concerned with the en-
fcrcement of the law. They think the
courts will hold that when Congress.
in putting through the Reed bone
dry" amendment, prohibited the send
ing of liquor into dry States and Ter
ritories," but omitted specific mention
Of the District of Columbia, II ex-
cluded the District from the operation
OF the measure.
Fight Il Imminent.
The courts undoubtedly will soon
have the opportunity to pass on the
matter. Unless the Reed law applies,
It is expected a good deal of liquor for
beverage purposes will enter Wash
ington- Anti-liquor forces will not
permit this without appeal to the
courts.
Should the courts hold the Reed
law applies to the District no fur
ther legislation will be needed, in
the view Of the dry leaders But IL
they hold otherwise, then every ef
fort will be made to get the law
so as to include the District, |
Probably 1t would be possible to |
force such amendatory legislation
through both houses. A majority of |
Senate and House on q test would |
line up for It Some diff
Guilty might be experienced in forcing
vote In the Senate.
Measure WouId Pass.
Anti-liquor leaders say that the
omission Of specific reference to the
District Of Columbia in the Reed
measure is due to the fact Il was
hurried through Senator Reed, Il Is
Teu known, brought the bone dry"
up without expecting IL
would pass. They say, however, that
congress, which has Just made an
Exception Of itself in levyinE war
,rofits tax, cannot well appear before
ne country in the light of excepting
tsef from the Reed bone dry" law.
