 Randall of California endeavored to make the District of Columbia amenable to
 the Reed "bone-dry' law which is ap- r'lcable now to states and territories
 When tEe bill was before the committee MT. Elackmon of Alabama moved that it be tabled. His motion was lost by a vote of s to 5. Then Mir Randall ad- dressing the committee, declared that members should handicap themselves just as they had handicapped their constitu- ents, MT. Blackmon took the position that inasmueh as every state was pre- pared to govern itself and as the national prohibition amendment was at present be- fore the people, Congress should deny itself the pleasure of engaging in pro- longad debate on an immaterial subject and give it's exclusive attention to the uijects of war. Following the two speeches another vote on tabling was taken with the result that the commit tee switched from it's former attitude and tabled the Randall bill by a vote of s 10 5.

Birmingham can also take unto herself the credit of being the headquarters Of the womans Liberty Loan committee, Of which Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs is chairman. Subscriptions raised through this committee approximate $5,00O0O0. The kernel of the story is in the fact that the womans committee was organized considerably in advance of the campaign and worked with treless energy through out the period oof it's duration.

END OF CAMPAIGN


 The third Liberty Loan drive did not end officially until midnight Satur day. Consequently pledges for subscrip- tions made up to trat time will be recognized and belated subscribers arc urged to arrange for their payments at the banks Monday. if possible.
 Among the features of yesterday was the placing of subscriptions through banks of this city, of $120.000 by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany and $75,o0o by the Alabama Great Southern.
 Mrs H. NJ Sims. chairman of the woman's Greater Birmingham commit tee, said the total of subscriptions re- ceived through that committee at D o'clock yesterday afternoon, was $1,579,5 800, and that several thousand dollars would probably be added to it. ''Au of our IT committees will work up to the closing hour she said
 If Birmingham has done well, that DOT ton of the county outside of the city has made a proportionately good record. Bert Meadow, assistant county chairman, who always has his figures in hand, says subscriptions from that portion of the county aggregate s1,5Oo,oOo, divided among 10,O00 subscribers.

ALLIES AND SCOUTS

Birmingham made another of her famous campaign finishes yesterday. The allied armies and the Boy Scouts swarmed through the city booking sub scriptions everywhere. Many citizens did not wait to be solicited to match the President with another bond'' but went direct to Liberty Loan headquar
 ters, the woman's headquarters and the banks and put their good money into Uncle Sam's gilt-edged security. The crowds at the Liberty Loan windows of the banks were greater than or any previous day, and many thousanss of dollars in bond subscriptions were val dated The crowds in the street caught the infection and greeted the bond workers with smiles and approving words. In brief, Birmingham ended on high note after an intensive cam paign extending over a month. Endu- rance is the test of the thoroughbred.
