Bis SUPPLY

HOWEVER
Despite Strenuous Efforts to
Halt Flow Prices Have
Risen Little

Local authorities and agents
of the National Prohibition Unit
are making an extra effort to dam
flood Of Christmas liquor which
lis headed this way. They have
set special watchers on all roads
leading from Maryland and posted
strong war parties at the Vir-.
ginia bridgeheads.
But the water approach to the
city is not so closely guarded
Some effort is being made to cut
off the supply that is finding its
way up the Potomac river, but the
Washington police and the Federal
authorities are not sufficiently
equipped with naval auxiliaries
to combat successfully this attack
on the city's holiday sobriety.

says a formal statement issued by
Deets Pickett, research secretary
OF the board of temperance, prohi-
bition and public morals Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. But
Mr.. Pickett admits rather sadly
that 1t is not such a model.
The biggest share of the blame, -
ne adds, is not with the police
and II certainly is not with the
prohibition unit
There seems to be very little doubt
that a serious effort is being made
this year to stop the Christmas
liquor rush. 1t is largely due to the
fact that the professional drys and
the Federal authorities are getting
restless because their efforts to make
the territory directly under their
noses even reasonably dry thus far
has failed. But, while there has
been and doubtless will be much
show of activity, and although some
good and very much bad LIQUOR will
be dumped into, the sewers, there is
every indication now that a goodIy
supply will be available in washing
ton all through the holiday season.
There has not even been an in
crease in the price of liquor since
the Christmas drive started week
ago.
