of ita Wlckersham roninitemou
suggest. In annexes to the rum
tmKsion a report oa . prohibition,
ihm a modllnation of the Swed-
I I mat liquor control plan might
he feasible for the United Mate.
A lrripiioa of the Swedish plan
follows:
NEW YORK. Jan. !. (IT)
The sal and distribution of liquor
in Sweden has been regulated for
the past 10 years by a semi-offi
cial company which handles the
entire prohibition problem. The
government adopted the system
aa outlined by Dr. Iran Bratt.
' The Bratt system works, brief
ly, aa follows:
The semi-official company
(known as Vin Spiriteeniralen)
is privately organised, with share
holders, but the government ap
points majority of its board of
control. The government also
Barnes Its managing director and
half Its auditors.
COVPAVY 8ELL8
The aale of alcoholic beverage
to the public is in the hands of
ompenlee, of which there are
W16. Each controls a aeparate
district. These companies estab
Sleh stores at which liquor may be
purchased for home consumption
t not drank on the premises.
Liquor by the bottle cannot be
purchased anywhere else. They
also aeparate restaurants at wheih
liquor may be purchased, and sell
liquor to other restaurants and
hotels, where It may be aerred
only under the supervision and
regulation ot the company. These
companies are also prirately or
ganised by county and municipal
authorities name three ot the lire
members of their boards.
I Shareholders' proflu in the
wholesale company and In all the
(retail companies are limited to S
Iper cent. All profits above that
Hgur go to the government. It
as estimated that the Swedish gov
ernment averages about J25.000,
0 a year from this source
about one-fifth ot the total an
nua (.revenue.
JDRIXK AT HOME
As a result of this Bratt sys
tem, nine-tenths of the liquor
drinking is done in the home. In
order to buy liquor In Sweden for
Home consumption it is necessary
to have a pass book Issued by the
local companies, as noted above.
To obtain a pass book one applies
to the office of the company in
the district In which he lives. He
la given a questionnaire to ans
Vr. The applicant must not only
live his name and address, occu
pation, date and place ot birth,
but hs must also go thoroughly
Into the social aspects of bis life.
He must tell how many persons
there are in his family, if any. his
Income and whether or not he
pays taxes. He must tell the sixe
of his house ar.d whether or not
he has received charitable aid.
He must tell whether he has ever
been arrested, particularly wheth
er he has ever been arrested for
drunkenness or any crime In
which liquor figured.
JirsT DE 28 .
The answers are Investigated
thoroughly. It the applicant's
record stands, he is in a position
to receive a pass book. No youth
under 28 years ot age can get a
nasa book.
Swedish eitiiens are strictly
regulated even with a pass book.
None may buy more than four
liters (about 4 quarts) of hard
liquor a month. Officials point
out this represents whst the av
erage law-abiding working man
drank before the law was put in
to effect. But not every man may
be allowed to buy that much. The
authorities affix a maximum ac
cording to a man's income, his de
pendents and other considera
tions. Women are never allowed
more than two liters a month. A
wife never receives a pass book it
her husband has one, and Tic
verts,
BPYS IX ONE PLACE
The holder Is a-slgned a com
pany store nearest bis home. This
store Is the only place in which
he may buy liquor. He must pro
duce his pass book every time he
buys a bottle.
The restrictions apply only to
hard liquor. The holder of a
passbook may buy ail the light
wines and beer he desires. How
ever, a close watch Is kept on this
consumption and if the authori
ties feel a man is om-iu"'s"
too frequently, action may be
taken. They have the right to
revoke the pass book at any time.
On the other hand, if the holder
of a book is giving a party and
feels he should have more liquor
he will be permitted to make ex
tra purchases.
LIMIT PURCHASE
No liquor may be bought be
fore noon in publlo houses. From
13 until i P. in. small quantities
may be bought at the restaurants
designated hv the companies, and
tha quantities are larger as the
day progresses. But the limit of
one customer Is three drinks of
five centiliters each equivalent
to about throe normal drinks of
whiskey. None of these hard
drinks, however, may bo pur
chased unless hot food is also
served at the same time, to the
extent ot about a 40-cent meal.
Wines and beer may be served
lu hotels and restaurants without
restriction. Tut a hotel or res
taurant keeper is allotted only so
much wine and beer a month on
which he may make a profit. All
over that he makes nothing, hence
h does not encourage his custo
mer to drink.
Lack of the systematic brushing
which our mothers and grand
mothers gave their long tresses is
said to he responsible for young
women of today having gray hai'
I iva years earlier than their moth
er and ten years earlier than
their grandmothers.

KEKPtf EYES OPEN
A girl goea to collet prim

Federal Judse
Explains Stand
On Commission
SAN DIEtiO. Calif . Jan. 20
(CP) An explanation of his
rcasora for recommending a re
ferendum on the Eighteenth
Amendment and opposing Im
mediate repeal was made here
today by Federal Judge Paul J.
MrCormlck, member of tbo
Wlcksham committee,
Iln said that in his Judgment
tho amendment never had been
submitted dlrcllr to the rltl
rens. He believed, he said, that
a referendum would clarify the
views of the majority of the
poopie.
"The Elthteenth Amendment
was rntlfied by state legislatures
and few. If any, of the members
of the letislstttres were chosen
because of views on prohibition."
Juripe McCormlck said.
Although- ho favors a referen
dum, he is scalnst repeal at th's
time because, in his opinion, it
would result In the return ot the
saloon.
