world" within a distance of a mile
or so, while only recently the body Of
man was found on the railroad track
nearby, with many indications that
the man had been beaten to death be-
fore his body was placed in the path Of
a train. Residents of Vermont and
neighboring states are among the best
customers of these resorts, and the
evil effects of the Province of Quebec
saloons are thus forced upon the Unit
ed States If the Province of Quebec
continues to maintain the legality of
the sale of liquor. some arrangements
should be made through international
negotiations whereby these Zine
houses" shah be wiped out of exist
ence. Possibly a Quebec law prohibit
ing the sale of liquor within definite
number of miles Of the border would
have tendency to solve the serious
situation.
