WATCHING
ship LIQUOR
Leviathan Decision Likely
To Bring Matter to At
tention of Congress

WASHINGTON, April 12.-(P-
The question of the right of Ameri-
can vessels to serve liquor as a
beverage at sea is regarded by Of
ficials and observers here as almost
certain to be brought vigorously to
the attention of the new congress
when it meets in special session next
week.
The pronptness with which wet
and dry organizations and spokes-
men for the prohibitionist view
point expressed themselves on the
decision of the Lev.athan's new
owners to abandon the dry policy
which governed the liner under the
shipping board made such an out
come q foregone conclusion.
Prohibition enforcement author
tiles meanwhile have shown con
siderable interest in the statement
Of the public relations department
Of the United States lines, which
operates the liner. that it would be
fair to assume that, while the ship
would be dry on its present east
bound voyage and wet only on the
return trip, liquor would be served
going both ways hereafter.
The ship. they said. can possess
liquor legally within the American
three-mile limit only as medicinal
stock under a federal permit. Such
liquor can be sold, they held, only
to fill prescriptions issued by ply
sicians. That applies, it was de-
clared, whether the liquor is issued
on the outgoing or Homecoming
voyage or in a foreign port.

DIPPING BILL
TO Be PUSHED
Cameron County Interested
In State Bill, Plans
To Aid Dairying

Cameron county will take a hand
in efforts to pass the Parr bill re-
lating to dipping of cattle against
fever tick infestation at the special
session Of the legislature, County
Judge 0. G. Dancy announced Fri
day.
The Parr bill, which provides that
the state employ necessary inspec-
tors and purchase the dip vas killed
in conference at the reg dar session.
AS a move to encourage the dairy
industry Cameron commissioners
are contemplating a campaign to
free the county of ticks, and for
that reason are interested in the
bill.
Under the Parr bill counties will
be required to furnish and maintain
all dipping watts. There are between
Is and 80 watts in the county now
and these are in fair condition. G.
A. Monahan. state inspector, has
informed Judge Dancy after a visit
to all Of them.
Although some of the watts have
not been used for a considerable
time, it mas been found that they
are preserved by the dip used in
them.
Some new watts would be required
before a rigid campaign of dipping
all livestock in the county could be
inauguratd, Judge Dancy said. but
this would be a comparatively mex
pensive undertaking.

Aged Negro Singer Dies

SCHOOL TELLER
AID To THRIFT
staff Photo

The use of the automatic re-
ceiving teller as a means of pro-
noting thrift in the Washington
public schools has proven a great
success, according to DR.. E. G. Kim
ball, supervising principal in charge
Of school savings, today.
DR.. Kimball said the teller had
proven "eminently satisfactory" in
the schools and that its use had
developed a competitive spirit in
pupils savings. The pupils, who
were shown the weekly reports of
their own school and other schools,
Immediately decided they would en-
deavor to splace their school highest
in the point Of saving.
During the school year, 1928,
So schools made use of the auto.
matte teller. OF this number, 81 Of
the schools were elementary and the
other four were junior high schools.
Forty.nine of the schools we're in
the white divisions and the other
nine were In the colored.
Washington public school pupils
saved 5S,644.19 during the fiscal
year OF 1927-2s. The elementary
school pupils saved $51 ,s7S.43 cf
this amount and the junior high
schools $6,965.76. White pupils
saved $56, ,350.21 and colored pupils
saved $2,293.SS.
The number Of student bank ae-
counts maintained by the use of the
automatic teller was set at 6,436.
In one school is students in the
fourth grade had maintained ac-
counts since the first grade without
withdrawal. One boy, in another
school, who worked after school
saved $50 between February / and
June 80, 1928. Another in thu ee
years saved $26 toward his ex-
penses at college. Two girls saved
$50.s5 and $66, respectively, during
six years.
DR.. Kimball said today that no
other system had been demonstrated
in washington that enabled pupils
to save their money that had given
as good results as the automatic
teller. He said q great deal Of the
credit for the service Of the tellcrs
should be placed on the banks who
made the collections from the tell.
ers and handled the accounts.
