With rents going up and apart
ments getting scarcer 1t looks as
though Wen have to move into one
of the air castles we've built.
Some men are so lazy that they'll
let somebody else build their air
castles for them.
After a guy spends four or five
months dreaming a home he wants
a lot of rent for 1t.
All You need to build one Of these
castles Is place to dream and
nothing to do and lots Of time to do
il in.
An ambitious man can dream dur
ing his spare hours and have his
home finished in a short while.
II he dreams steadily for two or
three weeks he'll be able to move in
in no time.

materials in air castles. If you run

Says 1t Doesn't Cost You Anything to Build
an Air Castle and Furnish it with
Dream Furniture
By John p. Medbury

short of lumber all you need is a
lazy feeling and some tree to dream
A boss sees n clerk sitting Mt his
desk looking into space and he
thinks he's loafing when the chances
are he's just installing the plumbing
In his new cloud bungalow.
OF course after you think house
for yourself. you have to dream 1t
full of furniture.
A good dreamer ought to be able
to furnish the living room and sun
porch during the day at the office.
One boss woke a clerk up and the
clerk lost a whole lot Of furniture.
One college boy wanted to furnish
an air castle for the coed he intend
to marry. She wanted a William
and Mary suite but he dreamed in
the wrong period.
Then he had to 20 back to sleep

Stockholm, November 10.-[Cor'
respondence of The Associated Press
Rum running into sweden from
Germany has developed into some
thing like public scandal, say Swed

of the coast line and the thousands
of small islands dotting the sea ap'
proaches are all in favor or SNUG
Cling enterprise.
The craft engaged In this trade are
generally small, fast sailing schoon
ers, captained as rule by OK OFFICERS
of the imperial German navy. Many
of the shippers bear names Well
known in. the records Of submarine
activity. Their daring and exper'
fence makes it very difficult for swed'
ish coastguards to stop them.
From Reval, Rostock, Stettin, Lu
beck and other German ports these
vessels put to sea, their cargo always
consigned, according to the ships pa
pers, to some Finnish port. Once

pers are full of stirring stories about
smugglers and their doings. They re-

Lately the police has started 6

lice boat, camoufaged as smuggling
craft. boarded Germap schooner anc

schooner's hold. unconscious of the
fact that the schooner was just out
side the territorial limit. When the
policemen tried to leave the schoon'

threatened to throw them overheard
and there was nothing for them bu
to pay for the liquor.
In another case, the correspondent
was told, gale blew up soon aftel
the coast guards had boarded shiI

three mile limit and. owing to the
DANGEROUS coast, the ship had to put GU
to sea, taking the Swedish guards
away to Germany.
In Sweden and in Finland many o
the coast population get their livins
by smuggling and refuse to go fishing
and carry on their legitimate trades
In Finland, where total prohibition
prevails, conditions are even worse
than in Sweden. Fishing there ha.
entirely ceased, 1t is said, because
hum running is far more profitable
