HELSINGFORS, Oct. 26.—Fin- land, plagued by liquor smuggling during its experience with nation: al prohibition, finds this illegal traffic still its worst problem ir a new “wet” era. Illegal trade in liquor grew by leaps and bounds in the long 3 of prohibition. It suddenly col- lapsed when prohibition was re pealed April 5, 1932, only to rear its head again. Finland's legal alcohol trade i centered in a monopoly company. in which ths state has absolutc control. It has the sole right t manufacture alcohol, which it sells at retail in its own stores. Can License Premises It has also the sole right tc carry on trade in liquor for con sumption on the premiszs, though it can grant this to private restau- rants. Likewise, it can grant rights of manufacture to private firms. In every community there i an inspector appointed for sup vising the traffic in alcohol, and some places have temperance boards. Intoxicants are allowed to be sold retail freely, except to min- ors, to soldiers unless they have permits from their officers, or to intoxicated individuals or mnon-in- toxicated persons in their com- pany. No Personal Limitation Personal limitation, one of the essential points in the Swedish law, is not contained in the Fin- nish legislation. The alcohol company may graml cerving licenses to individual com- panies or cooperative societies for any kind of intoxicants, the advis- ory board deciding the terms and conditions of serving. To prevent competition for pri- vate - profit, intoxicants may only be sold on licensed premises at prices fixed by the advisory board.

You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleas- ant to take. Creomulsion is & new medical discovery with two-fold ac- tion; it soothes and heals the in- flated membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized py high medical author- ities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion centains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membrares and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, and attacks the seat of the trouble. Creomulsion is guaranteed sat- ijsfactory in the treatment of per- istent coughs and colds, bronchial 7 thma, bronchitis, and is excellent >r building up the system after olds or flu. Your own druggist is authorized to refund your money on the spot if your cough or cold is not relieved by Creomulsion. adv jboree at Budapest.

Because of illicit sales and of| smuggling, however, it is con | that the latter average does not| represent ths actual consumption. | Analyzed as to consumption of| kinds of liquors, the company’s fi- gures show corn-brandy represants 74 per cent of the total, c:her‘ strong drinks form 16 per cent., )| malt liquors (reducsd to pure al- ~ohol) 37 per cent., and wines only | 3 per cent. Nearly All Domestic The importance of the new al-| cohol legislation from the domes- tic economic point of view is in- | dicated by the fact that home | production accounts for 80 per cent of total sales. Even wine, which was almost {wholly imported last year, may | advance in domestic industry as | tasty liquors have been produccd from ' berries. Crime statistics of the ministry of justice show cases of drunken- | ness have fallen off by 11 per cent ;as compared with the Iast year of prohibition while actions in such cases have decreased 23 per cent. | The net financial surplus of the alcohol company for the last nine months of last year amounted to 102,000,000 Finnish marks ($2,040- 000 at par). The import duty on aleohol brought in 50.000.000 ad- ditional marks ($1,000,000) while the manufacturers’ fax amounted to more than 20,000,000 marks. Tomorrow — Norway and Sweden.

And to make the situation more piquant, it just has dawned on Jim and Caroline that they love each other! Chapter 34 AT PACKHAM HALL S Caroline followed a tall young footman up the imposing stair- case of Packham Hall, she looked about her with interest. She had not been in the house since she was a little girl The footman handed her over to Mrs. Van Berg's maid. Caroline came back to the present with a jerk and took a good look at the “’inting 'ussy.” She saw a middle-sized per- son of very discreet appearance with a manner nicely attuned to what might at any moment become a house of mourning. As they turned into a long corri- dor, one of Elmer Van Berg’s nurses passed them, going in the direction of the stairs, a pretty, rather hard- Outrageous Fortune look. Her hands kept plucking at one another, and from time to time, a mnervouc tremor shook her. Yet her nails were carefully reddened, | her pale hair immaculately set, and ‘ her lips made up in an artificiall | curve. She had a lost, tormenteq look. i Caroline’s soft hearf was a good deal moved. She put her hand on the twisting, plucking fingers and said: “Whgt can I do for you, Mrs. Van Berg?” e Van Berg drew her hands | “It doesn’t matter—nothing mat- | ters. Why did you come?” You wanted to see me.” “Yes—it was good of you. But it's no use—nothing’s any use.” There was a pause while Caroline tried to think of something to say. What could she say to unhappiness like this? She didn't know. Susfe Van Berg flung round with outstretched hands. “What shall I do if Elmer dies?’ “Perhaps he won't.” “But if he does—it he does!” HE jumped up with a sudden sur- prising energy, ran to the door and opened it. For a moment she stood looking out into the corridor. featured girl with bright blue eyes. What could Carolinc say to guch unhappinesa? They turned again. Loulse opened a door and announced “Miss Leigh—" Caroline passed into the small sit ting-room and heard the goor softly closed behind her. The room was very warm; that was Caroline’s first impression. It was like coming into a hot-house. There was a fire on the hearth and a scent of pastilles fn the @ Though it was not yet six o’clock, the cold, wet daylight had been shut out, Two lamps with pale biu shades filled the room with a light | that was rather like moonlight. The room was most unmistakably that of a pretty, spoilt woman. Susie Van Berg herself lay on a couch in front of the fire, banked up with cushions. There was 1. silve cushion under her head, a pale pi pouffe behind her shoulders, an three-cornered viplet cushion just| slipping to the floor as she made startled movement. Caroline was startled too. Sh didn’t know what she had expected. but not this. The setting was so elaborate, 8o artificial. Susie Van Berg herself looked like someonc in a play.

But the eyes which she fixed on Caroline as she made that movement to rise were the eyes of a frizht- ened child. A dry, bot hand clung to| hers, and the voice that she ha heard on the telephone said: “Caroline Leigh?” Caroline nodded. “Won't you sit down? Where will gou sit? Come here beside mo o1 the sofa so we needn'’t talk loud.” She slipped her feet off the couch as she spoke, pulling herself into a sitting position. IAROLINE took off her tweed coat and sat down. “It was very good of you to come,” said Susie Van Berg. She spoke as it ‘ ghe had not quite enough breath for what she wanted to say.

Susie went on speaking in a des- | perate, fluttered voice. “It's awful not to have anyone to | speak to. That's why I asked you to come.” “Did Jim talk to you about me?" Susie nodded. | “He talked about you a lot—he } thought the world of you—he want- | ed us to meet. Men are funny like that—it two women are fond of | them, they can’t see why they won't be fond of each other. Elmer’s like | that too.” A little animation had come to her as she talked, but with the last word a nervous shudder took her again. “What is 1t?” said Caroline gently. “I felt I'd go mad if I hadn’t some- one to speak to. I thought you would | | be safe because, whatever I told you, you wouldn't want to hurt Jim.” “Jim—" Susie looked at her out of panic- stricken eyes and whispered: “I've killed Elmer.” Caroline straightened herself. She said, “Nonsense!” and her own voice comforted her and made her feel sure that what Susie had iuass said could not possibly be true. usie shook her head. “You don’t know. He was jealous —1 made him jealous—of Jim. it was only monsense. You said nonsense, didn’t you? That was all it was. One oughtn’t to be punished like this Mllu for a bit of nonsense—it isn't & wouldn't want me to be punished like this” " “What did you do?” said Caroline, (Copyright, 1983, J. B. Lippincott Co.)
