GETTING MUCH VINE

WASHINGTON, May 22.-'Dry''
laws have not stopped the drinkers
Of sparkling French champagne.
Boat loads Of that rare old lux
ury are now being used by Ameri-
cans. This fact is shown by French
government figures disclosing large
increases in shipments Of cham
payne 10 the United States.
French champagne exported 10
American buyers last year, the first
u months Of national prohibition,
amounted TO S3S4,0O0.
In the preceding year, before the
Volstead act went into effect. France
expOred only S1,15S worth Of cham
payne 10 the United States
American Council General ThacI1-
ara, at Paris, called attention to the
heavier outflow Of French wine 10
America in his latest official report
20 the commerce department. He
said the movement Of champag ne
this year is equally large.
Government experts said the fig
ures disclosed that Americans there
fore consumed nearly 100000 quarts
Of French champagne after the dry
lid went on a little more than a
year ago.
French champagne and other
rare wines from abroad are now
coming into American ports under
special permits issued TO importers
authorized by the government TO
handle such liquors for medicinal
or other uses enumerated under the
dry statute.

BAR CHEERS KLINE
AS HE TAKES BENCH
Jurist Applauded as New SUI
perior Court Opens-Sat-
urday Sessions.

Members of the st. Joseph County
Bar association gave Judge Fred c.
Klein a rousing welcome when he
assumed Superior court bench No.
2 and opened the new court 10 func-
ton in this county. The lawyers
rose as Judge Klein proceeded to
the bench and applauded him as he
took his seat.
Formal ceremonies did not mark
the court opening. This was due to
the desire Of the bar to unveu
tablet to the late Asa c. Mathews,
representative from this county,
whose name the enactment creating
the new court bore. The court was
opened in Superior court No. l. but

ters will hear court cases in the
county commissioners room.
Bids will be received by the coun-
ty commissioners June for re-
modelling the court rooms and the
work is expected TO be completed by
the time the courts open in the fall.
Judge Klein explained to the as
sembled lawyers that due to the fact
that the commissioners occupied the
room on Monday his court would
not sit that day but would be in ses-
sion the balance OF the week includ-
ing Saturday, This marks a de-
parture from custom in local courts
as Saturday is usually a vacation
day. The late Judge George Ford,

cases on Saturday mornings.
