PARIS.—The French government has angered the wine growers of the Midi by refusing to encourage drink- ing by the use of cancellation stamps on letters. Observing that the air mail, exhibitions of sundry sorts and other things were given publicity by the cancellation stamps, the wine srowers of Beziers had a stamp made vhich carried this formula: “Wine is the healthiest of drinks— Pasteur.” They presented the stamping ma- chine with their slogan to the post office. The administration ruled it could not be used. Curiously enough water drinking is gometimes adver- tised by French stamping machines. That, perhaps, is because certain min- eral water sources are state monop- FREE We Carry a Complete Line Standard Plate Products House Paint, Wall Paint, Roof Paint, Enamels, Varnishes, Lacquers—In Fact, Most Everything in the Paint Line.

PHILADELPHIA GROUP TOURS CITY STREETS Newspaper Men Study Paving Methods of Capital and Ob- serve Highway Conditions, A group of Philadelphia newspaper men came to Washington yesterday to study street paving methods and to observe the condition of the highways | here as compared with their city. They were accompanied by officials of the Portland Cement Association who wanted to show them hcw Wash- ington has used concrete in paving some of the main arteries leading out of the District of CDlum ia as well as on some of the new ¢ .reets in outlying Sections during the past five years. Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, Assistant En- glaeer Commissioner, in charge of highway work, accompanied them on the inspection tour in order to point out different types of paving. The visitors learned that in the cen- tral portion of the city the paving is a concrete base with an asphalt surface and that in the outlying sections the District is laying concrete streets at such a level that when a ne\ surface becomes necessary the existing con- crete can be made to serve as the base for a topping. The tour of imspection took them along Massachusetts avenue, Belmont road, Kalorama road, Connecticut ave- nue, Woodley road, Wisconiin avenue, Belt road, Davenport street, Forty- first street, Harrison street, through Tilden street to'Park road, along Six- teenth street, Alaska avenue, Georgia avenue, Illinois avenue, Rock Creek Church road, through the Soldiers’ Home grounds, Michigan avenue, North Capitol street and Rhode Island avenue.
