u WOULD POSTPONE BONE DRY STATE! I .Moon Suggests Deferring of Effective! Date. Claims Liquor Dealers ShouU j Have Opportunity to Adjust Their j Business. ., Washington. Feb. 22.?Postpone ment of the effective date of the "bone dry" prohibition amendment to the postoffice bill adopted yester- ! day, until October 1, 1917, is pro- : posed in a concurrent resolution in troduced late today by Representa tive Moon of Tennessee, chairman of the postoffice committee. Mr. Moon. announced he would press it through j as soon as the postoffice bill itself is i tinally disposed of. During debate on the amendment in! the house there were urgent appeals on behalf of liquor dealers who ship; into dry territory that they he given time to dispose of stock and readjust i their business. Prohibition leaders j turned deaf ears then, fearing that J any change in the provision as it! passed the senate might mean its de- j feat, but many of them are disposed, to vote for a postponement once the! ^ * v - -? a Anf y+ uin nas aeui iu uuc ^icaiucui ivi his signature. The preamble of Chairman Moon's resolution says: Should Give Them Time. 'The States which have passed laws prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors and the storing of the same within their borders have rec ognized the fac* that such business had therefore been legal and have in vjrw of this by their enactments . given to dealers a reasonable time within which to -dispose of their stacks or remove the same from the "State before becoming effective of such laws. The course followed in this respect is clearly right and just and it would be a manifest injustice and would work a great hardship for5 the federal government to deprive these parties of the rights guaranteed by the States by immediate denial of' interstate commerce for the ship-' ment of such liquors, which effect will in its present aspect automatical-j "ly follow the enactment of the prohi-! fcition amendment.'' j More Work Todar. Differences between the house and! senate on other features of the bill be taken up in conference tomorrow. The house rules committee agreed today to consider tomorrow a special Tule to bring up in the house the senate bill for prohibition in the Dis trict of Columbia. The committee will first "have a hearing and then an ex ecutive session to determine its ac tion. It is said to stand eight to three in favor of the rule. Reresentative Gallivan of Massa chusetts introduced today a bill for a prohibition referendum to tne peopie of the District. It is identical with the T'nderwood amendment rejected by the senate.

National prohibition is a matter of vital interest to many people in the country, it was a matter of such deep interest to the prohibition societies of Washington that they turned out by ine tnousanas wnen tney were asKed to assist in one of the scenes for "The Man Who Forgot," the latest World Picture Brady-Made, in which pro hibition is an important factor. The members of these societies are seen parading to the capitol to aid a national prohibition bill, which is being urged by the hero of this new drama. The members of the society were aengmea to give tneir services for the picture and their appearance in the drama is effective indeed. But this film is filled throughout with equally effective scenes and altogether it is a striking and very successful production. "The Man (Who Forgot" will he seen at the opera house on Tuesday.

T?<_ V. f)C lOT? r\ew, lurii, rcuruai^ a.u, It has been a matter of conjecture whether coat suits would return to favor with the spring, or whether the long coats by which women have stood firm and steadfast all through the winter would continue to satisfy their needs in spring. One would naturally conclude that a coat suit in spring would be wel comed by most women after the heavy, long coats of winter. But the ques tion is still to oe seiueu. m mi i-uu babilitv there will be as many coat suits as separate coats worn when spring comes. Some very jaunty models are being shown now, and many of them have coats in Norfolk or semi-Norfolk effects with plain or pleated skirts. The dresses suits are made of silk and satin with touches of embroidery in the same or some contrasting color. The coats are generally midway be tween the hips and knees in length. For 3ports wear there is no doubt that hip-length coats with contrasting skirts will be very smart, and there will be more interest in sports clothes this spring and summer than in any other styles, if one may judge from the present demand for them. Plaid skirts with co^ts of a solid color hav ing the collar and cuffs trimmed with the plaid are considered exceedingly chic. The striped and checked ma terials are employed in the same way vrith coats of one color. ^<2 ^ iTTl m X\ Smart Spring Model Developed li Jersey Cloth. Besides the Norfolk coats, the loose straight-hanging box coat is one o: the models that promises to be ver] much favored. Some of these ar< quite short. They are very stunninf made up in velvet and worn witl white serge skirts. Dark blue or old rose velvet, witn large wnue pear buttons for contrast, is used for t.hes< Not strictly Norfolk, but resembling this style in many points, is the smar model illustrated in the sketch. I1 is of orange-colored wool jersey an< accompanies a skirt of black-and orange check, making an exceptional ly smart costume. The coat is twic< belted, part of the lower belt form ing straps at the top of the larg( patch pockets.

AT OPERA HOUSE WEDNESDAY Virile action and romance fill the' * l five acts of "The Brand of Co-rrardice.' the latest starring vehicle for the two! popular stars, Lionel Barrymore and ; Grace Valentine. It is a dashing 1 story of the Mexican border. Charles Maigne, a retired officer of J \ the regular army, is the author of j ( both the story and the scenario, and I c John W. Noble, also former army offl-M i cer, is the director, so that this stir-. \ ring photodrama is correct in every/' i detail. The colorful-life of the Mex-. i ' ican border is carefully reproduced. I I Skirmishes and guerilla warfare are''i shown in such a way as to make the i heart beat fast with excitement.

Navarette, the .Mexican bandit chief' who is in love with Marcia and has j been repulsed, but he triumphs over; both. Marcia accompanfes her fath-, er and mother to the border. Nav- j arete captures her and Cyril follows,j barns the Mexican village and savesj ilarcia, killing Xavarete with his bar9 hands. Marcia and Cyril escape, but they are pursued by the Mexicans, i The fugitives put up a brave fight! until they have only one cartridge' left. Marcia, now freely acknowledg ing: her lover's courage, tells him to' kiss her in farewell and then use the cartridge to kill her and save her from the bandits. Just as Cvril is | about to press the trig'ger he himself ! is shot down. How the two are saved by Col. j West and the United States troops, j how Cyril, though dangerously wound-' ed, recovers to claim Marcia as the reward of his courage, is told in a ( graphic fashion. i The cast of favorites supporting the stars includes Robert Cummlngs, Kate Blanke and John Davidson, all well know to Metro patrons. m The March American Magazine.

CARELESSNESS AT GRADE CROSSINGS SHOWS In view of all the agitation which ha3 marked the safety-first movement tn recent years it is rather surprising, to ??ay the least, to find that of those nersons who nass over grade rail road crossings probably one-half, or; more, fall to look to the right or' left before moving across the tracks, j This estimate is based on the report-J ed findings of investigators for the: California Railway Commission. In | observing the drivers of 17,000 motor i vehicles it was found that over 60 per cent looked neither way before! crossing railway tracks. Something j over two per cent looked in one dl-1 rection only, while the remainder, less than 2S per cent, looked both to the right and left. Of 6,300 pedestri-! ans 49 per cent looked neither way sna jo per ceui iwivcu umj vuc naj. It is believed that these figures may be taken as fairly typical of the coun try as a whole. They indicate both the menaee of the grade crossing and the need of educating both drivers and pedestrians to greater caution.? From the March Popular Mechanics Magazine. Railway traffic in Spain is to be placed under the control of commit tees headed by the director general of the public works.
