April 29, 1920 THE NORTHMAN PARAGRAPHIC BRIEFS FROM SANDINAVIA. The Norwegian-American Steam ship line has contracted for two new cargo vessels of 500 tons burden each. They are to be built at Vickers, Canada, and will be fitted with every modern equipment. They will burn oil and are calculated to make-11% miles with full cargo, The ships are to be delivered so early in the autumn 1920, that they can be chartered in Montreal for Norway before the season ends. The department of foreign affairs of Norway has been reorganized to meet conditions following the war. A committee of seven has been appointed, three and the chairman by the king and three by the storthing. H. Bryn, formerly minister of Nor way at Washington is a member of the committee. Mr. Olaf O.

F0rland, an engineer in Haugesund, has taken out a patent for a new method of producing non- carbonaceous molybdenum, extracted in a simple way from molybdenum chloride at a .low temperature. Ac cording to his method the metallic molybdenum is extracted by electroly sis from different melted components. The amalgamation of the molybde nite industry in Norway is under way, sixteen companies having allied them selves with the new organization. The industry suffered during the war when practically all export was shut off. With the return of the steel in dustry to a stable basis it is expected molybdenite will be in demand.

Experimente are being made in drying split-fish by electrical processes. Denmark has issued a temporary order forbidding the manufacture of beer containing more than three per cent of alcohol. The shortage of coal and the unfavorable condition of the exchange are given as the reasons for the order. It does not appear a very great hardship, however, to the Dane from this country going over to pay a visit. The coal shortage in Denmark has caused the government to issue an order fixing the degree of tempera ture to which churches, theaters, res taurants and public halls may be heated, one wholly unexpected good may result from this order. It may lead to the discovery of a cure for sleeping in church. Cattle buyers from Switzerland are reported buying heavily in the Danish markets. Three Copenhagen theaters will dispense with orchestra music next season on account of the renewed demands of the players for higher wages. THE NORTHLANDS. Prepartions are being made to im port oil on a large scale in Denmark to offset the lack of coal. A new oil port is under construction at Nyborg; three petrol tanks of 4,000 cubic meters capacity each are already completed, and four lamp oil tanks are nearly finished. Several large tanks for fuel oil are also to be erected. Large pipe lines will con nect these tank installations with oil tankers, for which berths will be pro vided by a mole about 1,300 feet in length with 30 feet of water on each side. The most up-to-date machinery and equipment is being installed. Malmo and Gothenburg are to be opened as free ports during the pre sent year, which with Stockholm, opened in 1919, will give Sweden three free ports. About 70 per cent of the vessels now under construction in Swedish shipyards are being outfitted with oilburning apparatus utilizing the Diesel motor. Swedish railways are also experimenting with oil as fuel in order to reduce the extremely high operating costs. In a recent trial run the cost of the oil burned was said to be only 6 per cent of that of coal. The Norwegian Red Cross reports that it has sent 100 carloads of food and clothing for the relief of Vienna. The supplies of five of the cars were used in Chemitz, Saxony, for the re lief of the people there. Besides food and garments, 400,000 crowns were contributed. Food was also sent to Archangel, and an effort made to send some to Petrograd. One hundred French babies were provided with layettes by the women of the Norwe gian Red Cross, and 2,000 children from Vienna were received in Nor way for a stay of four months. The postoffice department announ ces that, beginning May 1, parcel post packages weighing not more than 11 pounds and unsealed would be accepted for Switzerland.

Dak. “Jeg var meget be kymret over hende og vidste knapt hvad jeg skulde gjpre. Jeg besluttede at pr0ve Dr. Peters Kuriko og gav det til hende regelmsessigt tre gange om dagen. Hun begyndte lige straks at" blive bedre. Alt i alt tog hun en flaske af dette middel og er nu saa rask som nogensinde.” Dette for- klarer atter, hvorfor Kuriko er bleven saa popular som familiemedicin.
