"The Intense straight I Cashes are

Swedish Riksdag Acts
To End Lkjiior Running
(My the Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, July 1S. A severe
blow has be.Ti dealt Die rum-running
fraternity of Sweden I h rough 'lie
adoption In I lie Itiksdig of two bills
which aim to carta il Hie activity of
smuggling, one hill culls for the ch
laldlslilnj; of a special pollen force

and archipelago of Stockholm, air)
he oi her Involves Increased severity
of punish meat for viola t ion of the
liipior Import laws.
The creation of ft special patrol for
Stockholm, and the appropriation of
about S.'i.aiHf i hereto wail passed on
ly after considerable debate. The
amendment to Him smuggling law pro-
ides a maximum penalty of one
yenra Imprisonment) at hard labor for
offenders found guilty of extensive
smuggling of unlawful Import, for
commercial gain. In certain case.i
also (he master of a ship upon which
smuggling has been attempted can be
held legally responsible.
These restrictive measures by the
lliksdag have been necessitated be
cause of the preslstent smuggling
which has been curried on across the
sea coast of Sweden. Ijuge uuantliies
have been brought In illegally, the
principal purveyors being Ksthnniu
and Germany. Although Sweden is
not a prohibition country, the illegal
list rlbutlon of liquor has become
profit able because, under the "I trait
system" of lluuor rationing, Swedish
subj.ftH are not legally entitled to
more than a prescribed (plant ity of al
coholic beverages a month.
Since Mr, KdUon is so wrought un
about colleges not teaching men to
think, why doesn't he invent some
kind of an electrical process that
will do the stunt?
It is probably too much to -hone
that government ever will celebrate
