 Washington, Ocft. 17-There is am pie authority for the statement that not a single one of the "dry'' officials who are charged with being mot dry enough to hold office' will be remov- ed from office for mere expressions of opinion, even though such utter ances add a touch of jazz to the widespread pros and cons over en- forcement. And there is not going to be any snap judgment, or shot-at- sunrise decisions, on dry directors at the behest of dry enthusiasts what ever their shade of opinion.

 Washington, Oct. 17-Even in mat ters of rum, politics makes strange bed-fellows. The pith of the old saying comes home forcefully today to the dry law bosses There is tics and its workings are at the basis of their guessing over what will hap pen next.
 Cleverly devised programs for en- forcement, that appear to leave noth- ing undone in the way of tight regu- lations, are not going through in cer- tain important localities. Lack of success in strict administration of the VOlStead law in some states noted as big liquor sources, is blamed entirely on politics.
 In some of the large states dry en- forcement machines are presided over by men who are suspected by the drys of not being 100 per cent. drys. These men say the charge of the drys is true. They happen not to be in the category of professional drys.
 Little Official Weight.
 It is the private opinions such men ister the dry laws, in the view of the dry leaders. But that argument does

''VACS" DEFEATED BY
SILVER SPRINGS TEAM

The baseball team of Silver
Springs. montgomery county. took the
measure OF the nine of the Vagabond
Athletic Club, of Annapolis, in a game
at Silver Springs Saturday afternoon
by a score of Z 10 s. Both teams hit
the ball quite freely, each getting a
total of nine safeties. but the Mont
gomery ccuntians batted more timely
and took advantage of the miscues of
the VagaLonds That combination
was the decisive factor in the game.
for not only was each pitcher touched
for nine safeties. but each retired
nine men on strikes. and issued the
same number of free passes-two.
The defeat was the first the Vaga-
tonds have sustained this season.

JUNE WEEK" BROKE
TELEPHONE RECORDS
Volume OF Business Greater
Than Ever Before. Says
Manager Clemson
2,o5s CALLS IN ONE DAY

All records for volume of business
during a June Week" period were
smashed to smithereens last week at
the local exchange of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company, ac-
cording to figures compiled by Clar-
ence l.. Clemson. manager
The peak of the business was
reached on Thursday, Commence
ment Day. when a total OF 1875 local
calls were handled, in addition TO =
666 incoming and outgoing toll ana
long-distance calls.
Studying over the figures. consider
how many times the Hello" girls
must have said number, please or
have they answered" or ARE you
waiting, and the various other intri-
cacies and complications that often
develop in making telephone call
Anticipating the big rush of bust
ness. six additional operators were
imported from the Baltimore office
and assisted the regular force on duty
ct the exchange throughout the day
The Baltimore "Eiellos" were assign
ed chiefly 10 handling toll calls, as
they were girls and women trained
principally for that kind of service.
The maltituie of calls coming
through the Naval Academy exchange
made the problem more perplexing
one, but the combined working forces
at the ceal Office did themselves
proud in handling the unprecedented
business. A normal days business at
the exchange ranges between 10000
and 10000, so one can readily appre-
ciate what the extraordinary situation
meant

SUNDAY SERMON AT
TRINITY CHURCH, SOUTH

The Rev. A. F. Owens. pastor Of
Trinity Southern Methodist Church.
preached yesterday morning from the
text: He saved others, himself he
cannot save Matt. 81 24-42.
These words. said the preacher,
are the words of Jews as Christ hangs
en- the cross The JEWS repeated them
in derision They are saying to Christ
his own words and are throwing
them in his teeth They tell him ii
he he the Saviour OF men. come down
from the Cross and we will believe in
you. If you will save yourself
I'VE must not think that Christ fear
ed to die. 1t was not the cup of death
that he wished TO pass from him. but
he shrank from the great load and
faint OF sin that was u come down
upon him.
This cup could not pass from him
He was made to die for us Why we
do not know He took it upon him
self-a sacrifice for us-a sacrifice fo'
sin This is why we have this sacra-
ment this morning This is tbs
triumph of Christianity sacrificing
ourselves for others. This is the prin.
ciple that runs all through this life.
THE other life is the selfish life
Sacrifice is the very idea of service,
the preacher said. a service to hu
manity in the World War, in saving
freedom for the world"
