Stockholm, Aug. lo.-Legisla-
ton in Sweden againBst drunk
enness and consequent heavy tax
alton on liquor and beer has
resulted in very high prices for
alcohol Of every kind. So much
SO that smuggling of drink into
Sweden has developed all along
the coast, and it is asserted that
about 5000 gallons from the
Baltic are landed and sold III
Sweden every day.
Recently a German ship was
said to be anchored outside ter
ritorial waters with cargo of
sports for sale. In order to es-
tablish the truth Of this alleged
r'Im-runnlng, the correspondent
OF The Associated Press decided
upon a personal investigation
With q friend he embarked on q
six ton cutter for this German
boat, which was expected off
Sandhamn, and after a pleasant
sail IN the moonlight came up
with the vessels whcils was rid
ing at anchor with the usual
lights shoWing.
On hailing the vessel we were
requested to go aboard and were
received cordially by the Cap
tain. "Just waiting for some
body else,' he said, "but you
are very welcome anyhow.
Asked down to the cabin, the
visitors explained they were
neither buyers Of alcohol nor IN
the service Of the customs. but
only wanted to learn something
first hand about selling spirits
on the high seas.
The captain was a young Ger
man, about 80 years old. "You
take me for smuggler,' he
said, 'or bootlegger out for bus
mess beyond the law, but you
are quite mistaken. Ny name IS
Ludwig Wolff, formerly Of the
German navy. [ do no business

kies, English and American at

best Danish schnaps for 3 krone

Wolff, referring to himself,
explained that he had been paid
off from the navy when the arm
istice was declared, and on hear
ing Of the liquor trade with Nor

DEPENDABLE HIGHWAYS

Philadelphia, Pa, March 6:-ihe
Bureau Of Highways OF this city mas
concluded it's eight year study OF
the Byberry- Bensalem test ROADWAY
and announced its findings as to the
comparative wearing qualities OF the
various types OF pavement with wncn
the highway was surfaced In l91o'
According to the report the sec
tions paved with vltrltled brick nave
cost the least in annual repair ana
maintenance, and the sections covered
with different varieties OF cement
concrete have cost the most. Inc
actual figures on up-keep cost per
square yard per year are, for WITH
fed brick, cight-tenths OF q cent ana,
for cement concrete, II cents. bl-
luminous concrete types have cost II
cents a square ard each year Tor
maintenance and bituminous maca-
dam, seven cents.
These figures, il stated on the b2-
sis of a mile oil 16 foot roadway,
would result in the following yearly
up keep costs; cement concrete
$l,1245S, bituminous macadam $685.
~ and vitrified brick $7G.3S.
The Byberry- road is the
beginning OF the main thoroughIare
between this city and New York. 1t
was constructed in 26 sections as fol
lows: Seven Of vitrificd BRICK, five
oil cement concrete, six OF bltun!nous
concrtc and eight Of bltumnous mat
adam. Care was taken, because OF
the Importance of the highway, to
construct each section in d suhstan-
tial manner SO as to withstand the
heavy traffic. Regarding iris traffic
the report says:
The road was obliged to carry
practically all Of the heavy CONNER
cial truck between these two cities
in addition to the countless trains
OF gorrnment trucks during the war
"a sum cosl which in weigh and in
tcnsity was sufficient to constitute a
severe test Of the durability of the
most substantially constructed city

The certificates would not be redis-
