D. c. BONE DRY"
IN A FEW WEEKS
Reed Amendment to Become
Operative When President
b. Signs Revenue Bill.
WHAT THE LAW PROVIDES

The multiplicity of prohibition laws
enacted by Congress has bewildered
the man with a thirst'-there still
are some of them in the District
as to just when Washington will be
bone dry" or when it will be impos-
sible to bring alcoholic beverages
into the District for personal use. .
The action of the conferees on the
war revenue bill in agreeing to the
Senate amendment extending the
Reed bone dry law to the District of
Iumbia-hitherto it applied only to
the states and territories-makes ii
certain that the District of Columbia
will be bone dry" within few
weeks. AS soon as the revenue bill has
been approved by the President the
Reed bone dry amendment Will eX-
tend to the District.

Cites Success of Plan.

Examples of schools working along
lines of educational progressivism at
Baltimore. near Boston and at other
places were cited by Mr.. Cobb as more
than substantiating all claims made
for the new system.

ing to be held March l are to be out

Teachers New Duties.

Primarily. Mr.. Cobb said, progress
siyism in education implies freedom to
develop naturally and without undue
restraint or repression Teachers, he
said, are to be guides, not taskmas-
ters. They will encourage the use of
all the senses, training pupils in both
observation and judgment. Instead of
bearing recftations only. the teachers
will spend most of the time teaching
how to use various sources of infor-
nation. including life activities as
well a. books.
Greater attention, Mr.. Cobb said. is
to be given to all that affects the
childs physical development. teachers
observing closely the physical condi-
ton of each child, in. cooperation
with school physician, who is to ex-
anime the pupils at stated intervals.

What the Law Provides.

Here is what the Reed bone dry law
says:
whoever shall order. purchase or
cause intoXica ting liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce. except
for scientific. sacramentai. medicinal
and mechanical purposes, into any
state or territory (the District of CO.
iumbia is about to be includsd) the
laws of which state or territory pro-
hibit the manufacture or sale therein
of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes, shall be punished as afore-
Said"-that is, fined not more than
$1,000 or imprisoned for not more
than six months, or both, and for
second offense shall be imprisoned not
more than one year.
The District of Columbia prohibit

portation of liquor for personal use,

law will apply

prohibited the manufacture of dis
titled spirits during the period of the
war, and gave the President author
ity to limit or stop the manufacture
of beer and wine.
In the SO called wartime prohibition
act, which became law November
II, 1918. Congress further provided
In effect for making the entire nation
dry after June so, 1919, for the period
of the war and of rehabilitation of
the armies of the United States.

Will Go Dry to Stay.

On top of all this legislation, the
states now have completed the rati-
Hcation of the nationwide prohibition
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. The thirty-sixth state
ratified the amendment January Is
and on that date next year, or at the
latest, January rs, anniversary of the
northumberland the terms of the
amendment, the country Will go dry
TO stay. unless there should in the flu
ture be another change in the Con-
stitution. or unless the Supreme Court
upholds the objections raised by
liquor interests to the legality of rat
ifcation.
AS the period of rehabilitation of
the armies undoubtedly will extend
until January 10 of next year. war
time prohibition should carry the
country through to the date the con-
stitutional amendment becomes effec-
tive.
To recapitulate: under the war reve-
nue. law the District will become bone
dry under the Reed amendment with

stipulations of Wartime Law.

The wartime prohibition law pro-
hlb1ts the sale of any kind of alcoholic
beverage in this country after June 20
1913. The food control act already has
put an end TO the manufacture of dis
titled spirits, so the wartime prohibi-
ton act ends the manufacture of heer
and wine May 1, 1919 The importation
or any alcoholic beverage into this
country was stopped by the same act
the date of its approval, November p
1918. The President by executive or
oer stopped the manufacture of beer

1t has been estimated by Treasury
experts that about $4,000, 900 gallons
pono 1t is expected that of this
amount some 65,000,0OO or TO- 00,
gallons will still be in bond Julv
next, when the wartime prohibition
law becomes effective. After the new
revenue law becomes effective. a tax
OF $40 a gallon will have tn be maid
on all distilled spirits when removed
from bond. With such a high tax. il
is believed that a large amount of the
liquor will not have been removed
from bond by July /. A large quantity
OF distilled spirits already has been
taken from the bonded warehouses
and the market, il is said, will not
stand between now and July the

Disposition of Liquor Puzzle.

The question arises, however. as to
what will be done with the liquor
that remains in bond. II the per-
manent prohibition law, under the
constitutional amendment, becomes
elective before the wartime prohibi-
ton law ceases to be effective. then
this liquor can never be sold in this
country or exported for beverage
purposes. 1t is possible to export il
under the wartime prohibition act.
but not under the constitutional
amendment
Even il IL were possible to export
the distilled spirits under the per-
manent law, it is likely that would
not help the situation much, it is
said, since other countries have their
own favorite beverages and there is
not much can for American LIQUORS.
No proposal has yet been put for
ward in Congress for dealing with
the distilled spirits in bond after
tho nationwide prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution becomes eff
fective- In some quarters it is be-
1feved that the government will have
to purchase this liquor and destroy
#, perhaps using some of it for medic
fna1 or scientific purposes. It has been
said the spirits might be redistilled
and the alcohol extracted to be used
for mechanical, scientific and indus
trial purposes. But it would cos;
more to do this than to make the
alcohol in the first instance. accord

PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR SPEED

On trucks engaged in delivery serv- ice where quick deliveries are impera- tive. many owners are changing over from solid to pneumatic tires. Mr. Clay Uric, who is the distributor of the Toledo News-Bee is one of the men engaged in auto delivery service who notes a decided increase in speed and a notable reduction in fuel and repair expense since making tn change. Up to the time this truck had travelled 13,650 miles all four Goodyear pneumatic cord tires were in service and appeared capable of much nor service. And further. this truck ran on schedule during last winters heavy snows. which tied up many solid tiI-.l trucks.

TIRES GIVEN SEVERE TEST

One of the most exhaustive tests ever given is the one that for IS months has been conducted by the Chicago Motor Bus company on it's fleet of 90 motor buses, equipped with Goodyear solid tires. Of 342 S-N tires on which final records are available, 22S were used on the front wheels, which in this case are the driving as well as the steering wheels. An az gregate of 2,301, ,401 miles over 20- mile circuit have been run at tire cost of less than F cent per mile.

SEIIlNG MANY CARS

Automobile dealers, who always talk prosperity regardless of whether the records bear them out, are really en- titled to their optimistic tune these days. An indication of the way cars are selling was the report from the Los Angeles branch of the Chevrolet Motor company, of California, that II cars were sold on the first business day of 1919, January }. All these were taken by retail buyers residing within the city limits of the Southern metro nOliS

SERVICE MEN EAGER FOR WORK

From camp and field our boys are returning to their homes to take their places in the great industrial army that must now fight the great battles of peace times in turning out the prod ucts that the world must have in it's reconstruction. That they are eager to get back to home and work is in- dicated daily in the many applications made at the big plant of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company by men in blue and khaki. Many of them got across" and are now returning wear ing overseas caps and gold service stripes.
 The Goodyear experiences in hiring in'' the soldier boys who left a year ago at their country's call, shows that the boys are not ''fussy'' about the kind of work they take up, nor afraid to buckle down to d hard job. Most of them want the kind of work where they can perform the best service and earn the most money.
