would be a pity to have the overseas

to hear their stories. But the poor

PASSING OF TEXAS SALOON.
Approximately 1900 Barrooms Closed
on April Is.


on April Is.
Dallas, Tex, April 17.-Approximate-
ly 1900 Texas saloons closed their
doors on the night of April 10, at $3.50
p. M, in compliance with the ten-milc
zone law, passed by the recent special
session of the Texas legislature.
the state became dry There still
are in operation, however, about LOO
saloons in smaller towns. but under
the statewide prohibition law they
will be closed on June 81.
Seven breweries-focated in Gal
weston, San Antonio, Fort Worth and
Dallas-are expected to continue oper-
alton until the statewide law becomes
effective. Already some are manufac-
turing soft" drinks and it is expected
that the others will follow this course
later.
When the en-mile zone law was in
troduced in the Legislature it applied
only to those towns near which army
environments were located. Later 1t
was altered to include every district
in which there was a fort, arsenal.
aviation field or school where soldiers.
sailors, marines or aviators were quar-
tered or where ships were being built
under contract with the government.
Under ruling of the attorney gen.
era1 the ten-mile zone law includes
all regular landing fields for aviators.
This ruling placed in the dry column
number of central and south Texas
towns which would have otherwise re-
manned open until June 81.
The ten mile law was recommended
to the special session of the legislature
by Governor w. p. Hobby, at the sug-
gestion OF Secretary Of War Baker. in
view of the fact that there are canton
ments or training camps at practically
every point in Texas.
In the main, Texas saloonmen ex-
pect to quit the business. few in
tend to move to Louisiana and other
wet" states, but the majority are ar
ranging to engage in other occupa-
tions. When the saloons were voted
out Of Dallas, many of the men who
had been engaged in that business con-
verified their establishments into res
taurants, using to a great extent the
fixtures that had been installed in the
drink emporiums.
Z one OF tlS peculiar plldSeo W Ihe
local option law under which Texas
operated until the new laws were
adopted, was that while a brewery To-
Gated in Dallas was permitted to man
ufacture beer, it could not be sold in
Dallas county. The law prohibited
sale but not manufacture. A man liv-
ing block from the brewery sent his
order to Fort Worth for a case of Dali
las beer. The beer was shipped thirty
two miles to Fort Worth. new ship
ping tag attached and in few hours
it was on the way back to Dallas billed
to the man, who lived in the shadow
of the brewery.
