FRANCE FIGHTING
DETERIORATION OF
IT'S NOTED WINES

Paris.-Preventing wholesale and
retail wine dealers from watering
their wine is one of the new prob
lens Of the internal revenue de-
partment of the French govern
ment.
Every drop of water introduced
into wine means just SO much less
revenue to the government. Also,
it is argued by the department of
agriculture that the consumer of
wine has right to a pure prod
uct, il he wants it, and should be
protected. Furthermore. the con-
sumner is apt to put some water in
the wine after he gets it home, if
only for economy's sake, and it is
evident that il he is sold diluted
wine in the first place, the govern
ment will be defrauded Just so
much more.
Before the war, when wine was
very cheap in France, dilution was
unheard Of But during the last
year, out Of 10,472 samples Of wine
taken from suspected dealers, 1926
samples were found to have been
watered heavily, and 1910 convic-
tons for fraud were obtained.
In order to protect the good
name of French champagnes. there
have been many arrests recently
for misrepresenting sparkling wines
as champagnes. Any real cham
payne is always labelled with that
word on the bottle, it is explained,
and the purchaser can protect him
self when he orders champagne by
looking for the word champagne"
both on the bottle and on the cork.

MORE VEHICLE
TRAFFIC OVER
river BRIDGE
Pedestrian Traffic Is Decreased
More Than e60,eoO; No Seri.
GUS Accidents.

Vehicle and street car traffic
over the Rock Island bridge this
year increased, but the pedestrian
traffic, unlike last year, when it
took large jump, was greatly de-
creased in 1922. This year 4.121 ,531
vehicles crossed the bridge in COM
parison 20 S,74S,530 in 1921.
The Increase in the street car
traffic and the decrease in the Pc
destrian traffic this year is believed
to be due to tine fact that working
conditions have been improved and
more people were able to afford car
fare to Rock Island and Davenport.
The changing of the street car rates
encouraged more riding and less
walking. The pedestrian traffic
was decreased from 935,156 in 1921
to 701.07S in 1S2s-a drop of more
than 100000. The number of street
cars which crossed the bridge this
year, both Bridge line and arsenal,
was 1882. Last yARr there were
only 120,O42. :.
The decrease in the traffic on the
railroad over the bridge was small.
The number of passenger and
freight trains passing over IN 1921
was 31,492 and this year 31,147.
The number of cars on the trains
decreased from 557,996 in 1921 to
540.293 in 1922. The drop in the
rail traffic this year it attributed to
the strike which reduced rail ac-
tivities =
Boat Traffic Small.
Steam boat traffic this year de-
creased a third over that of last
year. Only 57S steamboats, passed
through the draw in 1922. while
1882 passed through in 1921. This
was an exceedingly large drop, due
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-12-30

to the lessenfng of commercial ac-
tivities on the river. The only
boats passing through this year
were few excursion boats and
United States engineering boats.
The number Of barges decreased
from 1888 to 571. this wear.
The figures also show that 50
per cent Of the vehicles over the
bridge this year were motor drawn
and two percent horse drawn.
Statistics are gathered every
eighth day by the guard on the
Davenport end of the bridge. This
is his only duty for that doy and
the yearly report of the traffic is
reckoned from his figures. The
bridge and guard service is per.
formed by IA men. L
Interesting facts and statistics
concerning the happenings on the
Rock Island bridge and the heavy
traffic days are kept from year to
year by Frank E. Robbins, super
intendent Of the bridges and police.
Zone Of the busiest days we had
this year." Mr.. Robbins said, twas
when the national grotto conven-
ton was held in Rock Island. On
one Of the three days when the
convention was in session more
than $1,000 vehicles passed over
the bridge. This was large
eount for one day. During the
months from June to November,
there was an average of $4,000 We
hicles across the bridge every "A
hours"
Largest Stock Train.
In commenting about the rail
traffic, Mr.. Robbins added: IAN
eastbound stock train in October
passed over the bridge with 80
cars of stock, a car of poultry,
passenger car for the accommo-
dation of the stock owners, two
cabooses and two engines. This
was the biggest stock train which
ever crossed.
A little book in which Mr.. Rob
bins keeps interesting happenings
for his own personal record yielded
facts about the river.

er in 1921 occurred Dec. TO-" Mr..
Robbins has written in the book.

indoor league which will play in
the legion hall during the winter
months.
A membership drive was con-
ducted in August, too. It was en-
gineered by Adjutant D. B. Berg

members Of the local post attend
ed the national convention Of the
American Legion in New Orleans.
November was red letter month
in the history Of the American Lee
gion department of Illinois. The

mitted, and owing to the energetic
work of the legionnaires all over

most a 8 to / majority. The Rock
Island post had representatives at
each polling place throughout the
day, and in this manner Influenced
many citizens to vote. favOrably on
the measure.

post is rather heavily in debt at the
close of the year, it is already MAX
ing plans to wipe out the greater
portion of this deficit. The local

committee sponsored a carnival in
the legion hall. This carnival was
fairly successful and a small prof.
was realized.
During February the true value
OF the American. Legion was shown
and the local post stood the test
in fine shape. when Feb. 10 to Ii
was set aside as Cleanup week.
Representatives Of the veterans
bureau were in Rock Island to To-
cate IL veterans who had legitimate
claims against the government still
standing. Twenty-Five men of the
local post assisted in this work, and
before the campaign was over, 70
cases had been located in the city
All Of these cases were eventually
adjusted in a satisfactory manner
In March a banquet was given in
honor of the state officers. Among
the guests were William McCauley
commander; Charles W. Schick,
senior vice commander, and Will
liam @. Setliffe, state adjutant. The

with the enthusiasm shown by
members of the local post.

During the same month the local
post sponsored moving picture
show, "The Man Without Coun-
try" This film is owned by the
department of Illinois and was
shown at the Fort Armstrong thea
tire.
InsMay the woman's auxiliary

presenting. with appropriate cere-
monies, some very handsome COL
ors. They were used at the Memo
rial day exercises.
In June came the big tragedy of
the year. During that month the
national convention of the Grotto
was helHin this city, and as a form
of special entertainment, the local
post sponsored a boxing exhibition
between Charlie White and Johnny
Dundee, and lost $500 as result
Of the venture.
Interest in the legion affairs were
kept up in variety of ways during
the summer In August the post
held a banquet at the Y. NJ. c. A.,
when a mock trial was put on BY
the members. A baseball league
was formed with teams captained
by Gale Philbrook. Ben Reidy and
Paul Preston. Two games were
played each and the schedule ran
through September.
A cup was to be donated to the
winning team, but the season ended
with the question as to who had
won the coveted trophy. As a re-
