SCANDINAVIA PLANS

Neutral States Join With War
ring Nations In Their
Liquor Fight

STOCKHOLM, September 24-lCor
respondehce Of The Associated Press -
In company with the nations at war
the neutral states of Scandinavia have
made some effort recently to restrict
the liquor traffic. II may be added
however, that the regulations so far
in effect cannot be clsssed as in any
sense oppressive.
The greatest restriction enforced il
in Norway whore spirits may be bought
only on tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thurs
days and Fridays and then only within
specified hours, which vary slightly in
different sections of the country. Beer
lies and light wines, including cham.
'agne, may be bought at almost any
time. The consumption Of the latter
has materially increased since Norway s
wartime prosperity set in.
In Denmark the effort 20 restrict
thinking has not progressed very far
II has been deereed, however, that in
rural communities all drinking places
must close at eleven in the evening
While in Copenhagen the closing hour
has been placed at one in the morning
Here in Sweden there is quite strict
control over bottled spirits with more
pr less complicated regulations as to
restaurants and cafes, the saloon in tn,
American sense being unknown. Be
tween the hours of noon and three, no
liquors can be sold except with food.
In GOthenberg and other communities
the drink cannot exceed a certain per
centage Of the price spent for food On
Sundays no one is admitted to the cafes
between the hours of eleven in the fore.
poon and one O'Clock and between six
hnd seven in the evening, these hours
being set aside for churchgoing. All
cafes are supposed to stop the sale of
liquors at midnight, but there are q
great many which seem to have a dis.
pensation, rs to this particular rule.
The sale Of whiskey, gin and other
spirits in bottles is under government
regulation. Each adult wishing 10 buy
spirits must provide himself with a
book. In this all purchases are enter
cd and no one Swallowed more than one
quart a week. As in other European
countries a strict line is drawn between
spirits on the, one hand and beer and
wine on the other, no limit whatever
being placed on the amount of the lat
