Wine Liable
 oConfiscation

Thousands of gallons of home made wine in Bridgeport is subject to confiScation, and the manufacturer liable to arrest and prosecution. Fail ure to comply with certain require ments of the prohibition laws makes the private manufacturer liable to prosecution. A ruling to this effect has been received by Internal Reye- nue Collector Robert O. Eaton from Prohibition Commissioner Roy A. Haynes.
 By the provisions of the liquor laws, heads of families are permitted to manufacture at home for personal consumption 200 gallons of taX-free wine each season. To make this home brew taX-free, however, 1t IS necessary that the home manufac- turer file declaration of intention a. the internal revenue office at least five days before starting to manufac- ture.
 Failure to file such a statement doubles the regular tax rate, and causes a forfeiture of the wine to the government. In addition, the maker is subject to a fine of 5000 and a five year term in a Federal peniten- tiary.
 Commissioner Haynes ruling, which was made in reply to a query py Collector Eaton. follows:
 .'The 200 gallon exemption is ap- plicable only in cases where the pro ducer registers his declaration of m tention with the collector of internal revenue. Failure to register such declaration causes the tax to attach to the entire quantity produced

TAMPIC0 FIELD
 REPORTS OIL GUSHERS
New Wells Are Said To Be Producing 15O,OOO Bar rels Daily - May Help Tidemex.

Mexico City, Sept. 7-If all reports coming here from Tampico are true, great numbers of important new oil wells are being brought in at Amat- Ian and elsewhere in the oil district. Some of the gushers are reported to be producing 150, ,000 barrels of oil a day. It is nothing to hear of new wells yielding 3o,0O0 barrels a day.
 Practically all of the new wells are on properties belonging to the great producing companies. It is known that these companies have been do- ing much drilling, and oil men here believe that the reports concerning new wells are substantially true, with the possibility of some exaggeration as to the amount of the daily produc- tion.
 One of the companies which is re- ported to have brought in a spectacu- lar gusher is the Tidemex, and this was particularly interesting news to oil men because of the rather unlucky history of this company in Mexico. It is allied in way with the Tidewater Oil Company and entered the ram pico region with almost linitless financial resources and with oil eX- perts of every description
 The company acquired extensive and valuable property and outlined an ambitious program, which includ- ed the building of Q railroad, pipe lines, an extensive terminal, tank farms and refinery.
 Because the oil property of the company was looked upon as valuable and because the Tidemex managers were recognized experts in their line it was expected that the Tidemez would quickly become one of the great producing companies of Mexico But the first we'll of the company was a disappointment. The drills reached salt water. and work was stopped This was at the time of reports that the oil field was narrowing to a small strip and is said to have caused changes in the plans of the company Drilling was continued, however Now comes the report that the Tide mex has brought in a gusher, pro- ducing 1So. 900 barrels a day If the well is as great as described oil men say, the Tidemex probably will go ahead with it's extensive plan: which call for the spending of mil lions

GREAT PARADE
 IN BALTIMORE

The very few Connecticut men from this section, members of the 29th., and 79th., divisions, whose reunion came to an end at Baltimore, Md, Monday night, have returned home, with the story of a remarkable parade held Labor Day morning, headed by General Pershingl the United States Marine band, and delegation of the G. A. R., who made the entire seven mile hike on foot immediately in front of the seriously wounded vets who were unable to march and who were carried in automobiles and army trucks.
 The parade was described as re- markabIe from many standpoints, es- p.ecia1ly as to the military bearing which seemed to come back so natu- rally to all of the men, though more than two years out of the service they had no real authority over the men, but the marching order and bearing the parade were as nearly perfect as when the men were in the service, in spite of the fact that many were in civilian clothes.
 Fifteen bands were in line, among them the famous Saliva ton Army Wo-
 mems band, which received an inno- vation all along the line. The mos
 dramatic moment during the march
 ing, not excluding the reviewing of the paraGe by General Pershing, was the
 instant when the famous 313th., Inf
 of the 18th, division, swung into Ba1ti more street. This regiment, with the

DIVERSIFIED TRADE
 CITY FEELS PINCH

Syracuse, N. Y. Sept. 7-syracuse, with it's numerous and varied indus tries, for nearly a year has been undergoing a gradual decline in pro- duction. Its great chemical, blow, automobile, typewriter, steel and oth- CT industries have, and are still, ser iously feeling the curtailment of de- mand for their products
 The steel and allied industries have suffered the most. Busy to the very capacity, and beyond that, of their plants during the World War, these fields of activity are now compara- lively at standsti1l. The number of men employed in these mills and fac tories number well into the thousands.
 In wartimes, those workers, pushed to endurance, received wages which scared high above their fendest dreams. Now they are out of work. Their Liberty Bonds, bank savings have been drawn upon until, in most cases, there is remaining but a small balance. Grocers, the butcher, the landlord and other merchants are try ing to "cs,rry'' them until the tide of depression turns.
 The last Go feel the reaction in busi- ness in this city are the automobile, pottery and typewriter industries.

 It was suggested to the champion that he make a pilgrimage to the tomb of the hero of the fighting arena of twenty-five years ago. Such the modern Dempsey was told, is the custom rigidly adhered to by all great pugilists visiting this city.
