FRENCH 'CHAMBER'S BA'R ' BILL
By United 'Press '
PARIS, Juno 3. Tho French
chamber of deputies "has it .over"
the American House of Representa
tives in at' least one respect. It has
a bar. And during 1020, tho 626
members of the chamber spent over
the aforesaid zinc tho neat little
sum of 949,147 francs and 20 cen
times. Which Is the record to date.
Even during tho hectic year of 1911
the deputies only drank to the
amount of 317,069 francs and 71
centimes. And back in 1876, tho
year the Chamber first began to
function, the Chamber bar bill was
only 18,564 francs.
The reason? They blame it on the
