WOMEN AND LABOR IN WAR ON BOOZE Opposition to Liguor in Eu- rope Declared to Have Notably Increased. BY GEORGE R, WITTE. Correspondence of The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copsright, 1924 STOCKHOLM, Sweden, August 9.— Except in Finland, where the prohibi- tion law is as sweeping as in the United States, those countries of northern Europe that restrict the consumption of liquor exempt wines and beer from the restrictions. But they either prohibit “hard liquor” al- together, or permit its consumption only in small quantities. In recent months I have visited every country in northern rope and have observed how these coun- tries stand on the liquor question. In England the sale of liquor is re- stricted to certain hours. which vary according to districts. In the West- er district in London, for in- stance, liquor is on sale in shops and may be served in public bars and res- taurants from 11:30 a.m. until 3 p.m., and from 5:30 pm. until 11 p.m. on week days. There are no restrictions as to the quantity one may purchase or as to any particular kinds of liquor. Belgium Excludes Whisky. In Holland there are no restrictions. In Belgium the of whisky and brandy is forbidden. Otherwise there are no restrictions. In Germany and Denmark there are no_ restrictions In Sweden. under the Bratt temper- ance system., grown persons are al- lowed four quarts of “hard liquor” per month. but wine may be pur- sed in any quantity, with the ex- ion of sweet dessert wines. Per- having meals in public eating places are allowed seven and a half centimers for lunch and twice that quantity for dinner. There are no restrictions as to wines and beer. Tn Norway the consumption wines ‘and beers is permitted, but “hard liquor” is prohibited. (The government’s bill to abolish prohibi- n was defeated recently in the Storth ) In Finland hibition. except from 1 sale of there is complete pro- for beer contaming per cent of alcohol There . strong movement, headed by the woman's party, favors the adoption of the temperance sys- tem. Esthonia there are no restric- nd in Latvia, while there are rictions, there is a prohibitive tax on imported wines and hquors In Lithuania the same conditions prevail Poland forbids the sale of wines and liquor from noon Saturday until § a.m. Mond Otherwise there are no restrictions Labor Favors Prohibition. But even in those countries that have no laws to regulate the liquor traffic the question of partial or com- plete prohibition is being consid- ered earnestly. That is spectally true in the countries where the labor elements wield great influence. In Denmark, for instance, where vears ago the question of prohibition or temperance could not be brought up without provoking mirth, the new Labor government very likely will at- tempt to enact temperance measures. In Germany the Working Men's Temperance League, a socialist or- ganization, is rapidly galning in membership and it is more than likely th the question of part pro- hibition will be brought up in the Reichstag this year. Two or three ago, when a similar move was it laughed down. But, aloon League in the . this German organi- nacious and means to its fight. In the smaller Baltic states con- ditions are too unsettied to permit the importation of wines and liquor on a large scale, and the principal beverage is beer. Vodka and sweet liquors distilled in_ those countries are subjected to high taxatien, which has resulted in compulsory temper- ance, but also, to some extent, in an extensive traffic in “‘moonshine” liquor and smuggled raw alcohol, with much the same consequences as in the United States. MARLBORO COURTHOUSE ADDITIONS APPROVED County Commissioners Provide for $60,000 Work to Be Com- pleted by Spring. was zation s sontinue Epecial Dispatch to The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md..

G . Caged Lion Proves Fine Patient for Berlin Veterinary Ty the Associated Press. HAMBURG, Germany, August 9.— A veterinary recently lanced and treated a big boil that had devel- oped between the eyes of one of the lions in the zoo here. The at- tendants feared trouble, but the lion submitted quietly "to a 15- inch incision, suffered the veteri- nary to clean the wound and when released calmly resumed its cage life. On subsequent visits it met the healer with every evidence of pleasure, and without being roped submitted to the application of disinfecting and healing ointments. ECONOMIC 0UTLO0K HEARTENS MEXICO Makes Quick Recovery After Revolution—a0il Qut- put Heavy. BY HARRY NICHOLL Correspondence of The News Forel MEXICO CITY, August officialdom is frankly optimistic re- garding its all-important asset, the petroleum situation, and, indeed, re- garding the general commercial situ- ation of the republic. Considering the recent financial cr which had its climax in the suspension of payment by the government of the interest due July 1 unger the Lamont-De la Huerta agreement, optimism might reason- ably have been regarded as unjusti- fled; but optimism is characteristic of Mexico and is made possible by the extraordinary recuperative power of the republic. Revolution after revo- hition has dealt staggering blows to the country, but with a vitality dom evidenced in other countri Mexico has invariably got down to or- nary business again after a very short period of convalescence In a recent interview the secretary of the government depart- ment of industry, labor and commerce stated that petroleum production was running at about 12,000,000 barrels a month, or a_slight increase over the d Chicago Daily Service output last November, or prior to the | De la Huerta revolution. He claimed with confidence that the current year's output would be at least 150, 000,000 barrels and would ins ico’s retention of her record as oil producer in the world. Building Up Stocks. Another proof of Mexico's recupera- tive power is found in the fact that the stocks of Mexican merchants, de- pleted during the revolution, are be- ing replenished fast. Official figures show that during May Mexico bought from the United States $11,875,000 worth of goods and exported to the United States $15,050,000 worth of its products, including ofl, but excluding gold and _silver. For the eleven months ended with May, Mexico's cus- tom' to_the United States averaged nearly $10,250.000. During the revo- lutionary period, or from November to March last, Mexico's monthl chases from north of the Rio Grande dropped as low as $8,000,000. In less than three montha she has recovered to normal : A conservative estimate.of Ameri- can capital invested in Mexico is $700,000,000. Most of it is in oil, but doubtless most people will be sur- prised to learn that there are §19.- 500,000 of American money invested in_American factories in Mexico. With the money available in the Mexican treasury, through the non- application of it to the interest on the foreign debt, the government has been able considerably to reduce its in- debtedness to- federal employes. ~The result is that there is more money in circulation, and although this relief may be temporary, it has helped the situation materially Provided the recent elections have not conceived any further uprisings, Mexico may well be said to be head- ing again for that prosperity which her natural resources warrant.

Warm sun, satin wave- lets, breezes that confine themselves to gently fanning the fevered brow. “But they ought to get some new records,” said a bored member of the rum patrol. The rum-runners beyond the 12- mile limit lead lives so irreproachable as to be deadening. Nothing to do except rock upon the gentle waters, save when a smuggling boat snuggles in for its supplies. So far as possible rum-runners are selected from the dry element, for a drunken rum- runner properly fed up with monotony becomes a sea peril.

Just inside the 12-mile limit rock the boats of the rum patrol. The only entertainment that reaches them is the phonograph music. Hence the complaint. Harry Connor exhibited with pride a $90 malacca cane. One learned from Mr. Connor that it is almost impossible to get a good malacca for less. This came as a shock to one who has always held that $4 is the extreme limit of cost for a stick not banded with gold and set with precious stones. The place to get canes,” said the Possessor of this bamboo gem, learn- edly, “is from the manager of a good hotel.” Patrons often forget their canes and after a decent interval they are disposed of.

By the Associated Press. TALLAHASSEE, Fla., August 9.— The far-sightedness of Florida's leg- islators of the nineteenth century is disclosed in an old law unearthed in the archives of the State capitol here. It is an act which became effective in January, 1865, and provided heavy penalties for employes of railroads found guilty of being intoxicated while in the performance of their duty. "Aithe time of its enactment there were no railroads in Florida. The act, however, imposed upon the General Assembly the duty of ascertaining the proper objects of improvements in re- lation to railroads, canals, and navi- gable streams; and indicates thé pre- sentiment the lawmakers must have had that liquor and locomotive com- bined would not make for public safety. —— GIRL’S DEATH EXPLAINED.

MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS BY HERBERT COREY. everyone “earnestly One of dogs, trying to better his condition. found a moral in their conduct. “None of them are street dogs,” said an attendant treet dogs are disposed of and_at once. The waifs the Hide-a-Wee's cages have had homes, ‘but their subscriptions have expired. The homes have gone out of print. No room In the new apart- ment, perhaps, maybe a hasty snap at the baby, perhaps complaint from a neighbor.' So thg dogs have been subtracted from lives of luxury and put in what amounts to a peniten- tiary And every one is trying to sell him- self to a new owner. Not one is whining. Not one down on his luck. Somehow the knowledge has penetrated their doggish brains that now and then an affable and accom- modating and gentle-spoken dog is taken out of the cage to a new home, where dog love and gratitude is appreciated. And, somehow, they know that isn't done by whimpering. They say that Colonel Tillinghast Huston, who put the Yankees on the map, is in the market for another ball club. But I doubt it. The col- onel had his fun in building up the Yankees. He took that club when it had a chance and that was about all and made it the league leader. “Constructive work 1s bull said he to me. “But the routine work of administration is no fun at all.” He thinks new ideas are needed in the game. No team, he says, ever profited by farming a man to the minors. The team is lucky if the farmed one comes back as good as he was before. ‘“They must find some new way of handling the surplus stock,” said he. One catches a glimpse of the off- side profits of ball in New York. The advertisemerits on the Inside fence of a New York park net $20,000 a year. The programs net an equal sum. Best of all the sale of pop is worth $35,000 on the right side. “Properly managed, a New York ball team should get its rent free," says he. (Copyright, 1924.)

By the Associated Press. San FRANCISCO, August 9.—De- spite the fact that gold placers In California have produced more than $1.000,000,000 since their discovery in 1848, they are not exhausted, accord- Ing to a statement issued by the State Mining Bureau. The bureau has completed an inves- tigation of mining conditions cover- Ing two years, and finds that the principal placer area of the state lies in the Sierra Nevada Mountains be- tween Susanville on the north and Mariposa on the south. This area is tributary to the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, which are classed as navigable streams. There aiso is a big yardage of avaMable gravel re- malning on the tributaries of the Klamath River. The district within the Sierras, however, is deemed the most important from an economic viewpoint. Distribation of Gravel. According to estimates based on the investigation, there is a total of something like seven billion yards of gravel distributed among the differ- ent drainage areas. Not all of this is practicable for working, but-th bureau considers it safe to assume 6 per cent is feasible for mining. It should yield an average of about 15 cents a vyard, says the report, and under hydraulic mining approximately $600,000.000 could be recovered from these drainage systems alone, The report says: ‘A perfectly fea- sible plan for the working of this ground, under the provisions of the Caminetti act, 1s now suggested, and is to some extent being carried out by private corporations. Should the work be amplified to cover the whole drainage system, it should properly be under the control of the Nationa} and State governments in conjunc- tion. DANCER IS OVERRULED.

PILOT THOUGHT DEAD WHEN FALL STARTED Plane Accident Believed Due to Body Falling Against Con- trol Stick. By Consolidated Press. AKRON, Ohlo, August 9.—Investi- gation into the death of Harold J. Kullberg, World War ace, who was killed in an airplane crash at Stow Aviation Field, near Akron, this week, seems to point out a danger in aviation which has not been stressed heretofore—the danger of the collapse of the pilot rather than of his plane. Kullberg fell 2,000 feet to his death while instructing a fly- ing student, Henry Dunker of Cleve- land, an executive ot the Garland Paint Company, who also was Kkilled. The first explanation of the accident was that the control stick broke in Kullberg's hands just as he was about to transfer control of the plane to his student, scated behind. This would have let the plane swerve from the horizontal into a nose dive, in which position it landed. But the latest theory is that Kullberg col- lapsed or died at the controls and that his body fell against and smashed the control stick. The machine was so constructed that either of two persons could con- There were two control one in front with the pilot and the other behind. These sticks were of the strongest ash wood, and had been carefully tested an hour before the ascent was made. This fact aroused a suspicion in the mind of officials here of the Commercial Air- craft Asociation, and a special in- vestigation was started. The result of this was the announcement that Kullberg was probably dead before the plane became unmanageable and that the accident was the direct re- sult of his body’'s falling against the control stick.
