Reports have been prevalent In official circles for several weeks that administration approval of plans to spend ITiO.OOO on poster dry propaganda would be withheld and these have been revived with the announcement that the duties of Miss Georce Hopeley, woman prohibition ngent. who has been peaking before women's orgsini- tntions on benefits of prohibition, had been abolished, Under the $11,000,000 prohibi tion appropriation for this fiscal year, $f0,000 was set aside for the dissemination of Information and appeals for observance and enforce ment of the dry law. For more than a month artistically Inclined employes of the prohibition depart ment have been pointing posters with catchy slogans appealing for law observance.
