FRANCE. FINE COUNTRY FOR
VISITOR, BUT NO PLACE IF
you WORK, SAYS tCY' RINCK

Ii you want to visit France. all
right. but IL you're going there to
work, you are all out OF luck.
This Is the experience and warn
ing OF J. Cyrus Rinck, 1928
twelfth avenue, who returned last
week with his wife and son, John
Leon, after spending a year in
Nantes, France, former home OF
Mrs. Rinck. Mr.. Rinck went to
France for his health, which was
impaired following gas attack
south of Scissors, France. July Is.
1918.
There is no work in France for
the foreigner, and the wages for
such work as there is, are very
low, about Is francs a day, or $1.50
In American money. All foods, with
the exception of bread and vege-
tables, are very high, SO that the
average working man makes his
meal a simple diet of bread and
potatoes, Mr.. Rinck found, in max
ing comparisons of prices with
those prevalent during the war.
During the winter butter was 50
a pound. now it is $40. Meats
vary from so cents to s1.3O a
pound, and sugar remains at the
extreme price of 80 cents a pound.
However, the price of bread is reg
ulated by the government and sells
at 10 cents. Potatoes are only j.
cents a pound.
The Frenchman also figures
that it is better to have a half a
loaf than none at all, and so ne
works at any trade for any amount
of compensation, just so he works"
Mr.. Rinck said. Every Frenchman
has little saving They are
thrifty. However, there is little

LECION To ASK
FOR ITS SHARE
OF STATE FUND
Post to Vote Whether Ii Should
Requisition Money Entitled by
Needy Veterans.

Petition for part of the fund
granted to Civil, Spanish and World
war veterans by the state through
the county will probably be made
by Rock Island post No. 200, Amer
lean legion
Sentiment of legion members will
be sought at the meeting tomorrow
evening. A bill passed by the Illi-
uois state legislature some years
ago provided certain fund dis
tributed through the county board
OF supervisors for needy veterans of
the Civil and Spanish wars. Two
years ago this bill was amended to
include World war veterans. Lo-
cal camps of the Civil and Spanish
veterans have been receiving their
share, but the legion has never re-
quested participation.
A vote will be taken tomorrow
evening on what step the legion
shall take. The fund will be dis
tributed among the unemployed
where there are cases of need.
Plans for house-to-house can
vass to get a complete war record
of ex-service men, so that all infor-
nation will be on hand when re-
quests are made for adjusted COM
pensation, will be discussed, too.
D. B. Berquist, legion adjutant, to-
day received the service blanks, on
which each ex-service man will be
asked to put his record.
The city will be divided into dis
tricts for the canvass. Arrange
ments as to time and plan for the
canvass will be made tomorrow. Ad-
mission to meetings hereafter will
be made only on presentation of
1922 membership cards.
Memorial day plans will also be
discussed at the meeting. Follow
ing the business session, there will
be an initiation of about 25 candi-
dates.
Complimentary banquet for all
ex-service men will be given by the
legion April Il, in the Y. w. c. A.
The banquet, entertainment, and
stag which will follow will be free
to all ex-service men. This is one
of the many get-togethers which
the entertainment committee is
planning.

money in circulation. You ind that
most of the savings are put in gov
eminent bonds, thus avoiding pay-
ing the government interest. No
gold can go out of the country. A
person leaving the country may
convert his money into paper bills
or certificates, but no gold can
leave France, not even American
gold money.
Another interesting feature OF
foreign life in France, which has
been created since the war is that
after three months residence in
France, the resident is under the
surveillance Of the police and each
month an officer visits the home
to see If any have removed. No re-
moval, even within the city, can be
made without notifying the police
headquarters"
To Take Training.
Mr.. Rinck returned to this city
TO take up vocation training. My
wife and 1 prefer America to
France. France is different than il
was several years ago. The cities
are open until the morning hours.
and gayiety again reigns in Paris,
as do the same old prices. Among
the changes I found in battlefield
districts, was that Chateau Thierry
was all built up. 1 also saw Pont
Roosevelt, the bridge built and
dedicated last spring to Quentin
Roosevelt
Mr.. and Mrs. Rinck brought back
with them an Alsatian Burger dog,
which they had raised since it was
five weeks old. The dogs grand
sire was champion of Germany in
1913 and its sire won the Jardin
reclamation in France in 1918.
