PARIS, February S.--France is rae
ing a shortage of wine. and many
Frenchman is melancholy at the pros
pect of having less drink and paying
more for 1t than ever. Wine has
doubled in price in the past three
months and the dealers say that
there will be further rise Of 90 per
cent before Spring.
The ordinary F'renchman no longer
complains that prohibition In America
has cut off one of his countrys most
profitable markets. He now Is afraid
that there won't even be enough wine
to keep everybody in France con
tented, even If all the rest OF the
world goes dry. Today he is paying
4 francs for a carafe of red wine such
as was sold for francs last Autumn
and next Spring he is going 10 nave
to pay s francs for it, the dealers say.
There are three principal causes Tor
this rise The first is that the 1870

CONNECTICUT PREPARING
TO MEET COAL STRIKE
LEGISLATURE Considering Creation of
Fuel Commissioner for Possible
Crisis in Spring.

By the Associated Press.
HARTFORD, Conn, February s.
Leaders in the Legislature have COM
pleted plans for giving the right of
way to legislation recommended by
Gov. Trumbull to protect Connecticut
in the event of a fuel crisis resulting
from a possible strike of bituminous
miners this Spring.
The judiciary committee today will
take under consideration a bill author
izing the governor to appoint a State
fuel commissioner to work under his
direction and appropriating $4,000 for
expenses of the commissioners. A ia
vorable report on the bill is expected.
1t must be passed upon by the appro-
priationS committee.

Wine Shortage and Higher Prices Ahead
Cause Melancholy Outlook In France

crop was short, amounting to only
~ .000.000 hectoliters as compared
with $4,000. 900 in 1925. Consumption
amounts to $4,000, 900 hectoliters
annually, which means an average of
almost $50 quarts to every man,
woman and child in the country.
Foreign countries absorbed most of
the surplus of the 1925 crop, so there
is hardly any left over to make up
the shortage.
The second cause is that the
French are drinking more wine than
they did in pre-war days.
The third cause is the postwar
law prohibiting the makers of lIqueurs
from using anything except grapes
and other fruits in brewing their prod
ucts. Before the war they were al
lowed to use potatoes, beet roots and
grain.
