Curiosity, not Bust
ness Controls Traffic
CONGESTION in Boston

Boston, Nov. 1S.-Nehicular traf-
fic congestion in fashionable shop
ping thoroughfares is more a mat
ter of curiosity than of business. the
police traffic squad has reported to
the street commissioner. Transfers
and chauffeurs use these thorough
fares not SO much because they need
to be there as to see the passing
show, the report says.
The conclusion that some drivers
make long detours in order to join
the stream of vehicles that flows
past the shops, with their currents
of smartly- attired women moving in
and out or pausing to gaze at show
windows. was based by the traffic
squad on percentages. Questioning
of 1925 drivers during several pc
RODS in the course of a day re-
Gently developed that only % per
cent of those canvassed had any
real reason for being on fremont
street. or the n percent that could
save time by using less congested
streets, some were on a direct route,
but many were found to have gone
out of their way to be in on the
fashion show.
Drivers of horse drawn vehicles
were found to be most numerously
out of place, and their numbers in
cluded types as different as a city
dumpcart and a victoria. One truck
gardener, driving his own team, told
the police he was bound from
Faneuil Hall to Medford. The cor
ner of Boylston and fremont streets
where he was questioned is mile or
more south of any possible direct
line between those points. Il just
wanted to look them over" he ex-
planned.
The traffic squad and the street
commissioner are now trying to fig
ure out a way of separating the
traffic sheep on business bent from
the goats.

EUROPE HAS RUM
 RUNNERS GALORE
America Not Only Continent so
 Infested

Copenhagen, Sept. 3o.-Europe has its rum-runners. as we'll as America. Fifty percent of Danish shipping ia still idle and many smaller craft arc employed in organized smuggling of whisky, gin and other alcoholic bev- erages to wet inhabitants of dry coun- tries like Norway and Finland and in a smaller degreo to Sweden.
 A yachtsman who has been cruising in Norwegian waters told the corre- spondent that the price of a drink has doubled or trebled in Norway, where prohibition rules.
 Just outside the three mile limit are anchored ships. mostly Danish and German. but also few British. with cargoes of prohibited drinks and round every one of these ships are dozens of small Norwegian boats waiting their turn to get part of the costly cargo.
 To assist Norway in enforcing her prohibition law, Denmark has prohib- tied the export and re-export of spirits. This merely means that the smugglers go to German and British ports to buy whisky and gin and return once more to their trading stations just outside Norwegian territory.
 The yachtsman said the Norwegian police and custom officials were pow erlcss to deal with this industry and that practically every owner of a sail ing or rowing boat in the little towns on the Norwegian coast is a smugg1er.
 The smartest of the rum-runners have turned the saloons of their ships into cabarets and do a roaring trade selling drinks over the counter.

It declare the signcrs are ready to support in the Far East n democratic republic with n national assembly elected on the basis of gen. erai voting with proportional repre- sentntion and without conditions as to religious. national or political views.
 Tho memorial continues:
 Tn tho circle of economic prob iema. tho poasntry does not want a general standardization of industry or the unlimited predominanec of the capitaiists. who arc mostly seeking un- limited profit. despite the real needs of the country and of the laborers oc- ~upied in their business.
