Prize Offered for Largest
War Stamp Monthly Sale

Eacn and every organization of any
sort in Washington. provided it num-
bers 200 people, is eligible to contest
Tor a new prize that has just been
offered by the Chamber of Commerce
in connection with the war savings
and thrift stamps campaign. Through
James NJ. Denty. chairman of its war
savings stamps committee, it offers a
silver cup valued at $50, to be awarded
monthly to that organization whose
members on the first day of the month
show the highest per capita purchases
of thrift stamps.
The suggestion for the idea came
from the Bachelors Club of the Y NJ
c. A. composed of dormitory members.
and this club is going to make strong
effort to obtain and hold the trophy,
which has been christened with the
imposing title Of 1.-THE Chamber of
Commerce Thrift Stamp-buying Cham
pionship Trophy
The winner must demonstrate to the
Chamber of Commerce that it holds the
per capita championship for a partic-
ular month. Its name is then to be en-
graved on the cup and it may possess
it for one month. Then it may lose it
to a competitor or may win it for an
other month.
Through it's secretary, Ralph Evans,
the Bachelors Club has started what
it hopes will be a victorious campaign.
1t has already arranged for an inter-
floor contest for the championship of
the Y. NJ. C, A. building. The organiza-
ton will be perfected at a dinner Fri
day night. at which the principal
speaker will be the Secretary of War
and others will be William Knowles
Cooper. general secretary of the Y. NJ.
C. A.. and D. ]. Callahan, chairman of
the District of Columbia war savings
stamp committee.
Rules for the contest have not as yet
been completed. When they are they can
be obtained from Thomas Grant sec
retary of the chamber. However it has
already been decided that an organiza-
ton to compete must have at least 200
members and every one of these must
be counted in the figuring. Any or
ganization is eligible as whole. Thus.
the employees of certain govern
mental bureau can compete as a unit,
but not the stenographers of that
branch, or any other certain class of
employees.

TEXAS may co DRY
IN NEXT MONTH OR TWO
Special Session of Legislature to De-
clare Prohibition Near Army Camps
May Include Whole State.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex, February 26.-An al
most completely dry Texas within thir-
ty to sixty days was the opportunity
which dry leaders predicted they had
within their grasp at the opening of
special session of the legislature to-
day.
This session was called by Gov. w. P.
Hobby to declare a ten-mile dry zone
around Army camps in Texas. The drys
asserted that in passing this bill they
would be able to add clauses to include
shipbuilding in the same category as
Army camps in such . way as to render
the state practically all dry. They
predicted. furthermore. that they hoped
for the enactment of statutory prohi-
bition which would shut out liquor
completely.
The proclamation of the Governor of
Texas was issued after Secretary of
War Baker had written him that "the
War Department will be deeply inter-
ested in any effective measures" en-
acted by the special session OF the leg
islature (which will make it more diff
f1cult for soldiers in the camps of Tex
as to obtain liquor" Gov. Hobby said
that all doubt as to what he should do
IHlS leS1SldllOH was ISiio'Su
from his mind after receiving this ex-
preston from the Secretary of War.
Now 1900 Saloons in Texas.
There now are approximately 1000
saloons in Texas. 1t is estimated that
the legis,a ton providing a ten-mile
zone around Army camps will eliminate
between LOO to 1900 of this number:
If the legislature passes the ten-mlle
law and includes cities which have
plants now working on government
shipbuilding contracts-and the drys
into the bil1-this number of saloons
will be still further reduced. The larg-
er cities now wet and which havc Army
camps around which ten-mile zone
would be declared are San Antonio,
with two breweries and upward of 400
saloons; Houston, two breweries and
approximately 800 saloons; Galveston,
one brewery and about 100 saloons;
Fort Worth. one brewery and an esti-
mated 800 saloons, and El Paso, with
more than 200 saloons. There also is
brewery located in Dallas. now dry.
which ships its finished product to Fort
Worth. from where it is dispensed. The
dry leaders say they propose the legis-
lation shall affect all these breweries,
as well as the saloons.
Beaumont, which would be the largest
remaining wet city. has no cantonment.
but government shipbuilding contracts
are being filled there and at Port
Arthur. These two cities have about
fifty saloons. Orange. with fifteen
saloons, also has shipbuilding plant
doing government work. Dry leaders
are confident the legislation will affect
these cities.

If the legislation can put out of busi-
ness the breweries in the ten-mile
zone it is skid that the only brewery
left in the state will be located at New
Braunfels, about forty five miles east
of San Antonio.
Records in the state controllers Office
show that three-fourths of the state
of Texas now is dry. There are PSI
counties in the state, and 200 of these
are wholly dry. Fifteen are totally wet
and thirty partially dry.
With the exception of two counties in
the northwestern part of the state, Tom

counties that will remain wet If the
ten-mile law is enacted. with tho ad-
ditions hoped for by the drys. will be

FOR WIDER SPHERE
Retail Merchants Association
to Vote on Proposition for
Changing Name.

The Retail Merchants Association. at
will pass upon the recommendation
made by the board of governors last
night-that the name of the body be
changed to the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association. The proposed
change will make eligible for member
ship scores of wholesalers and jobbers
who are barred under the present laws
of the organization.
A resolution was adopted by the gov
ernors requesting the Maryland au-
nue. northeast from the District line to
Hyattsville. The governors pointed
out that this would not only shorten
the route from Camp Meade to Fort
Myer. but would enable motorists pass
ing between Maryland and the District
to avoid Bladensburg road, with its
trolley poles.
Resolution Relating to Credits.
An important resolution affecting
credit accounts in stores was approved
by the governors on recommendation
of the credit mems section. The reso-
luton reads:
Resolved by the credit mems Sec
tion of the Retail Merchants Associa-
tion, Inc, That charge accounts in the
respective stores we represent shall,
during the continuance of the present
world war, be limited as far as possi-
Bile to those customers whose records
guarantee the prompt payment of their
bills: and be it further
Resolved. That the convenience of a
credit account be refused to those of
our customers who refuse to cooperate
with their government and our stores
in this important matter and who are
chronically slow pay, and thereby
jeopardize and imperil stable business
conditions"
