Germany Returns to
Real Old Lager Beer
Berlin.— America's*- human camels,
sojourning in European alcoholic cafes,
assimilating a reserve-*supply of beer,
wine and cocktails for their return to
the great Volstad desert, are rejoicing
over Germany’s return to 13 per cent
beer. Thirteen per cent! Count ’em!
After the war. when everything
from soup to nuts in Germany was an
artificially producer substitute, Ger
man beer made an American tourist
homesick for an American ‘‘near
beer.” German beer tasted like what
in America is known as “pop,”'or soda
water. The Government first raised
tlie alcoholic limit to 8 per cent for ex
port purposes; then followed with a
limited allowance of “full beer” for do
mestic use The new order permits
one-quarter of the beer manufactured
to contaiu an alcohol percentage up to
13 per cent.
Jack Johnson Would
Fight Jack Dempsey
Kansas City.—Jack Johnson, former
heavyweight pugilistic champion, who
was released from Leavenworth Fed
eral prison some weeks ago after serv
ing ten. months of a year's sentence for
violation of the Mann act, told news
paper men today that he would go into
the .liDg soon and declared he- would
seek to wrest the championship from
Jack Dempsey.
“It doesn’t make any diffrrence what
Dempsey says about drawing the color
li-ue, the public wants Dempsev
whipped,’’ the negro fighter said.
“And,” he added. “the public knows I
am the one to do it.
“I have a war record to be proud
of,” Johnsofi continued. “I offered
myself to the Government for military
service during the war, but L wasn’t
accepted.”
Jean Valjean Again.
Every little while a case of Jean Val
,’ean in real life turns up. All who
have read “Les Miserables” will be
startled by the parallel presented by
Leon Bardier.
Sixteen years ago a young man!
robbed a jewelry store in Paris. He
was convicted and sent to the French
Guiana penal colony for a long term of
years Within twelve months he es
caped, and was not tFaced.
A few weeks ago the proprietor of a
big automobile establishment in Rio
Janeiro, more than fourteen years a
respected resident of that city, and the
accumulator of a large fortune, Leon
Bareier, was accused of being that es
caped criminal. The proof was con
clusive. France extradited him, and
he has been landed at Marseilles to be
resentenced. All of which serves to
recall twot old, old, truths, “the way of
the transgressor is hard,” aud “be sure
your sin will fiDd out.”"

Exports and Imports.
Our exports last vear amounted to
$8,228,000,600, and it wasn’t such an all
fired good year for exports at that. An
swering the question “Who are our
best, customers?” the United States
Chamber of Commerce shows that the
United Kingdom heads the list, taking
more than 22 per cent, of our products,
or nearly $2,000,000,000 worth. If Can
ada’s purchases are added to this
total, 34 per cent of the exports is ac
counted for. France is a poor second,
taking only 8 per cent. Then come
Cuba, Japan, Italy, Germany and Bel
gium. * As for our imports. Cuba’s
sugar puts her in first place at 13 per
cent. Twelve per eent of our imports j
we secure from Canada. Then come !
the United Kingdom, 10 per cent; ;
Japan,. 8, with Brazil, Argentina, j
