WINES PASSED
 UP IN FRANCE

PARIS, Nov. GA French hotel director, who has made study of drinking habits, says the ice water is the favorite drink of Americans who come to France, and not cock tails or wine.
 As an example, he cites group of Americans from 25 states who stayed at his hotel for a week. Out of 125, only Is drank anything but water, he says, and some of these iced tea.
 During prohibition" he says, great many Americans believed it their duty to experiment with the wine card. Now that Americans can legally drink whatever they wish in their own country, they have re- lapsed into their water drinking ha- hits.
 When Americans dine alone in Paris, water is usually the beverage on the table although you see milk and iced tea occasionally. When they are accompanied by French friends, a bottle of wine is ordered, but the Frenchmen usually drink it alone"

 AT F MILES

CHICAGO Nov. G. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, Nobel prize winner and internationally known scientist, to- day declared that man will never penetrate beyond twelve miles into the stratoSphere.
 This view was expressed as he and Mrs. Millikan passed through here from California en route to London, where he will lecture be- fore the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, which will begin a five-day session.
 Discussing the value of man flights into the stratosphere, Dr. Millikan said:
 There will be more stratosphere flights, but their scientific value is not comparable to the expense in volved
 12-Mile Limit
 However, we have good results from the Fordney- Settle flights, the recent Eight of Kepner, Stew ems and Anderson from the Black Hills, and the Piccards from De- troit.
 We scientists now have about two-thirds of what We seek as the result of the flights.
 Free balloons have scared six teen miles up, but man will never go higher than twelve miles,

With mining given a new impetus by the increase in the price of gold, the territory included in the Yukon Basin as well as other sec- tions of the interior of Alaska is experiencing an era of vigorous prosperity unknown for many years
 This is the word brought by C. J. Rogers, Comptroller of the White Pass and Yukon Route, who has just returned from an extended tour through the northern country
 When I last visited Dawson in 1917 the spirit of the people in the territory was at low ebb, Rogers said yesterday T found conditions at the present time ex- actly the reverse with the old pioneer spirit of 1904 apparent everywhere. Placer m iners are working in pairs-one man on a creek while his partner with job or small business in town grub stakes him.
 "Old acquaintances from the early days I met while in Dawson on this trip, would take me aside and from safe hiding places bring cut small pokes of gold, dump them out and stand back watching me with the old proud gleam in theh eyes.
 "The Yukon Consolidated Cole Company of Dawson is pushing de. velopmens of gold dredging opera tions and in addition large number of individual placer miners art bringing in up to 200 ounces O gold for their seasons work.
 'These pannings are beginning to bulk large in the total outpu of the country and from what
