The teachers’ pay bill had an oppor- tunity in the House last Monday. which was unanimous consent day, as did_also several other measures af- | fecting the District, but these were passed over because Chairman Focht and other members of the House Dis- trict committee were not present to explain them.

To show how it is disappearing, the amount under government con- trol and guard was 3,433,204 gallons less than on the same date in 1921. Here's how much there is: Whisky, 36,688,567 gallons; rum, 884,011; “gin, 987,884; high wines, 1,073; alcobol, 543,347. f any- body wants to check these figures o see if they gibe with the grand wet total, he is reminded that the amount of .neutral and cologne spirits were hot included. Dr. J. M. Doran, chief of the bureau’s inductrial alcohol divi- -sion, told the committee there ‘Wwere about 800,000 barrels of Wwhisky in 292 bonded warehouses, 170 of these warehouses being in Kentucky. Based on the old barrel content, this would seem to figure more than set forth in the table, but whisky, according to ex- perts, evaporates rapidly in the wood, when put aside to age, and develops the glow which made the Kentucky product famous throughout the world. _———— FAVORABLE STERLING BILL REPORT LIKELY Committee Seems to Approve Put- ting Dry Agents in Classified Civil Service. The sterling bill to transfer to the classified civil service the thousands of agents and inspectors employed in the prohibition service, including gen- eral prohibition agents and fleld supervisors, is expected to be reported favorably from the committee on civil service. A meeting of the committee, of which Senator Sterling is chairman, was held today to consider the bill. Those present were favorable to the measure, but a quorum did not de- velop. and Senator Sterling will poll the other members, and, after receiv- ing their assent, will report the bill. Senator Sterling said today that the ! purpose of the mearure really was the better enforcement of the prohi- bition law. He said that undoubtedly under the proposed change in the law it will be possible to get a higher type of men into the service. At present; the appointments are purely political. d there has been criticism in many cases. Senator Sterling said that the third section of the bill, which is designed to_exempt from the classified civil service executive officers in the pro- hibition force, will be amended so that the number of executive offi~ers exempted in the District of Columbia shall not exceed twelve and the num- ber of such officers to be exempted In the directors’ offices In the fleld shall not exceed five per office. —_— The fly-wheel on some types of motorcycle revolves at the rate of 4.000 revolutions per minute. ‘{ably the Ashurst INAUGURATION DAY - CHANGE FAVORED Impetus to Movement for In- ducting Newly-Elected Pres- idents in January.

It became known at the White House yesterday afternoon that the President does not look with favor upon efther the proposal to change the dates of the Inauguration of the President . and assembling of Coi gress, nor the proposal to do away with the electoral college.
