STOCKHOLM. Aug. Lesislatlon
in Sweden against drunkenness ' ami
consequent heavy taxation on liquor
nnd beer has resulted In very liiKli
prices for alcohol of every kind. So
much so that smuggling, of drink into
Sweden has developed all alow? the
coast, and It is usserted that aliout
6000 gallons from , tho lialtic are
landed and sold in Snellen every
day.
Recently a Clermari ship was said
to be unchored outside territorial
waters with a cargo of spirits lor
sale. In order to establish the truth
of this alleged rum-runnlntf, the cor
respondent of tho Associated l'ress
decided upon a personal Investiga
tion. "With a friend he embarked on
a six-ton cutter for this German
boat, which was expected off Snnd
hamn. and after a pleasant sail in the
moonlight enme up with the vessel,
which was riding at anchor with the
usual lights showing.
On hailing thu vessel we were re
quested to go aboard and were re
ceived cordially by the captain. "J list
waiting for somebody else," he said,
"but you are welcome anyhow."
Asked down to tho cabin,, the visitors
explained they were neither buyers of
alcohol nor in the service of tho cus
toms, but only wanted to learn
something first hand about selling
spirits on tho high seas.
The captain was a young Ocrrann,
about 30 years old. "You tuko me
for a smuggler," ho said, "or boot
legger out for business beyond the
law. but you tiro nulte mistaken. My
nnmo is LudwlK Woirr, formerly of
the C.orman navy. I do no business
which cannot bear examination, nnd
would not tor anything In the world

I have the beHt Danish schnaps for

' Wolff, referring !to himself, ex.
plained thnt ho had been paid off
from' tho. navy when tho armistice
wns declared, and on hearing of the
llauor trado with Norway, ho decided
to Join in. "1 am not dealing for my
own account," he said; "this business
Is organized In Hamburg by big cnpl
tallsls. Liquor In Germany is very
cheap and Scandinavian currency
vory high, so although wo sell much
cheaper than do rogislered dealers
UBhore. tho profit for us 1b nearly fiOO
per cent." Ho added ho exported to
get rid of his present cargo within a
week nnd return for more. Ho made
ten . trips last year to Norway, and
with tho samo number to Sweden this
year ho expects to clean up enough
, for a five years rest.

Hammond business men last yenr
when sho understock to agltute
the sale of cigarettes to minors.
The W. C. T. U. backed her
for n time. Somehow or other
though, just as It seemed as if
Bho were "to boo victory, tho
union withdrew Its support. Mrs.
Forrest was defeated, nnd, It Is
whispered, sale of clgarettos to
minors continued.
Mrs. Forrest learned her lesson.
This year sho has made a con-
cession for tho sake of tho men.
She continues to bo opposed to

DETROIT, Michigan, Aug. 15
Swarming like bees to a hive, tax
payers besieged the desk In the lob
by of tho city hall here, where sat a
golden haired blonde, Mrs. C. Terel-
Ing, engaged. In, the prosaic task of
receiving municipal taxes.
.Many eyes were fixed upon her,
shapely hands; her hazel eyes, beam-
lng with vivacity, hypnotized others,
while ninny additional onlookers
were mesmerized by the pink of her
shell like ear. But others and they
wero mainly men fastened their
gaze on the floor beneath the desk,
where repo3ed two dainty feet and:
two dainty ankles.
Other clerks lolled. . The b'g bus
iness went to the blonde: The city
treasurer, indignant that one clerk
should do so much work, decided
that action was needed to make the
other clerks earn their pay. A large
pasteboard map was placed in front
of the lower part of the blonde's desk.
Other clerks are now doing their
share of the work.
