ONE BAR FOR EVERY
81 PEOPLE IN FRANCE

The Chamber of Deputies has
begun the discussion of the Senate
bill to limit the number Of bars,
saloons and other establishments
for the sale of distilled spirits in
France. The measure fixes the num-
Der of bars at one per 200 inhabit-
ants.
Deputy Jules Segfrid in a report
declares that the consumption of
alcohol has made appalling strides
in the last half century. There is
one bar In France for every 80 in
habitants as compared with one in
$50 in the United States, one in
430 in England; one in 5000 in
Sweden and one in 5000 in Nor
way. The effect of the bill will be
gradually to reduce the number of
bars in France from 100000 to
100000.

cALLFoR LEGIBLE SIGNATURE
Business Concerns and Hotels, AZ Well
N Legal Firms, Find Themselves
Compelled to Insist on That.

kindly favor US with q legible sig
nature" r. an appeal now often en-.
icountered. 1t appears on the letter
heads Of many a legal firm and is
conspicuously printed on contracts
and other important documents. In
hotels this request Is sometimes used
as heading on each page Of the reg
lister or printed on a card. It hangs
jim plain view of the counter.
A room clerk In one Of the big
hotels declares that the task Of de-
ciphering signatures has reached q
crisis.
ut has got to the point where we
couldn't bluff on names any longer"
he said. I'm these days Of constant
telephoning and telegraphing we've
simply got to be sure that every
guests name is correctly entered on
our books OF there's bound to be
trouble.
"Of course successful hotel clerk
must have a gilt for deciphering bad
signatures just as he must have a
good memory for names and faces,
but when a man we've never seen be-
fore comes in and scrawls a long
wavy line on the register without q
single letter plain enough to even
guess at how are we going to call
him by name the next minute? He
may have important mail waiting for
him or he may be telephoned for any
minute, 30 our request for a legible
signature arises out of a necessity"
A member of a law firm on whose
letterheads is printed "a legible sig
nature Ia requested" says that these
few words have saved his firm much
trouble. Papers no longer have to be
returned for resigning, as was for
merly the case, because the first sig
nature could not be read. Before this
request for a legible signature was
made important legal documents often
had to be entirely rewritten because
one of the parties refused to accept
the signature OF some of the others
on account Of their ELIGIBILITY.
A large employer Of labor has made
1t rule recently to have all applica-
lions for work brought to him. He
orders each letter folded so that the
signature alone shall show. He goes
over these, picks out the signatures
that appeal to him and gives these
applicants precedence over the others.

BURIED ORCHARDS.
Peach Trees That Are Turned under
Ground to Escape Frost.

Ground to Escape Frost.
The burying of entire peach or
chards for protection against late
spring frosts is a common practice
in the intermountain valleys Of
eastern Colorado. In areas where
not more than one full crop in seven
or eight years has been previously
harvested annual yields are now
to be counted on, A net return of
$25 from each peach tree is not I'M
common.
Irrigation facilitates the task of
burying the trees. Just before a
hard freeze is due in the late fall
the Colorado orchardist digs a
trench to each peach tree which
he expects to clay down" and turns
on the water, allowing it to run
until the soil about the roots is
thoroughly soaked. He then can
undermine the trees and bend them
down with little difficulty. They
are held to the ground by heavy
plank or by ropes until a covering
of hay is spread over them and a
layer of dirt shoveled on top Of
that. Two inches of dirt have been
found sufficient protection in 80
below zero weather.
Orchards are left PROSTATE and
covered until the last bit of danger
from frost in the spring has passed.
In the higher localities this danger
period is not before the 10th of
May. When the hay and dirt are
finally removed mass of pink
bloom greets the orchardiSt. He
will tell you it is the prettiest sight
in the world. Sometimes, if the
season be late, tiny peaches will
show their green heads among the
pink blossoms.
After raising the tree a brace IS
applied and left against the trunk
through the summer. An orchard
of trees all propped in this manner,
their branches all leaning one way
and showing more foliage and fruit
on one side than on the other, pre-
sents a novel picture to the Colo
RADIO tourist.
l have been told that peach or
chardS subjected to this burying
treatment were short lived. Last
season saw one weighted down
with big, luscious peaches. 1t had
been buried for ten successive win
tiers and had yielded six full crops.
