NORWAY MAKES TEN
 MILE LIQUOR LIMIT
Marine Rum Runners Must Not Be Caught Inside of That Line

christiania. Nov s.--Liquor snug k gling into Norway, in violation Of the prohibition laws, has increased re- gently at such rapid rate that gov ernment officials are finding the work of suppression most difficult
 Smuggling on large scale Is going on all along the coast, the thousands Of islands and fiords furnishing ideal hiding places and operating bases for the Illegal traffic. The efforts of the smugglers seem to be concentrated about the inlet of the Christiania- ford, and here is established real market place at the outskirts Of the three mile limit swarming with Ger man and Danish liquor smuggling vessels.
 New Law Made
 A Norwegian law now allows rev enue officials to search and bring Tn suspicious vessels as far out as ten miles from the coast. This extension of the control district however has served only to increase the difficult work of the officials.
 So far other nations have not ofn- cialIy accepted the extension Of Nor ways water control to the lo-mile limit and opponents of the law point out that international complications could easily arise should a foreign boat be seized and forcibly brough' into . Norwegian port.
 Hundreds of thousands of gallons of alcohol and whiskey find their way into the country. and only very small percentage is being seized. The smuerlers have a thoroughly organiz- ed business, but use high powered motor boats to bring the goods from the storage ships anchored outside Norwerian waters. Submarine chas- CTS obtained from the German navy are ideal for the work of the snug RlerA These boats are equipped witn radio and smoke screen apparatus They are in constant wireless com munication with the shore, and are 4hus able to choose the right moment for a dash to the beach.
 People Help
 The most serious handicap the gov ernment has to contend with IS the coast population itself, which co operates in more than one way with the rum runners.
 A patrol steamer equipped with two guns has been put into operation hv the revenue officers. but the speedy boats of the smugglers are out or reach before damage can be done 10 them.
 Al the recent annual meeting of the organization of revenue officials a resolution was passed saying 1t was imnossible to stop rum running Tn Norway. even if the officials were on duty day and night and the govern ment appropriated 20 times as much money for the work as is now avail able.

NORWAY STRUGGLES FOR PROHIBITION Country Is Confronted With
 Unique Problem

christiania, Nov. 3.-Norway Is confronted with an unique problem In attempting to enforce the prohibit lion laws of the country, in spite of the commercial treaties which are in force with France and Spain. Under these treaties Norway agrees to im- port huge quantities of strong wines which are banned under the prohibi- ton laws.
 From France the government has agreed to import 100000 quarts of brandy. to be used for medical and technical purposes, and from Spain 800 900 quarts of wine which contain more than 14 per cent of alcohol. ln- cluded in this amount is 5o,ooo quarts of cordials which are of no use med ically.
 For medical purposes, according to census figures, there is use for only 100000 quarts of these imported goods, and no provision has been made for the disposal of the re mainder. The treaties provide that these wines may not be reexported, and the alcoholic content may not be lowered by mixing with water.
 At present there is a misunder- standing between Norway and Portu- gal over Norway's exports of fish to Portugal, and as a result Portuguese merchants have cancelled shipments entailing the loss of millions of crowns to Norwegians. Negotiations for a new treaty have been going on , for some time, but have made little headway, as Portugal is insisting that Norway import a million quarts of strong wines. port and Madeira, year ly in return for the fish trade of Nor way.
 According to the Norwegian pro- l1ibition law strong wines may be sold only in drug stores on doctors prescription. In this way not more than 15o,ooo quarts can be disposed of in year.

The other grinned and shook
his head. The quiet man sat
down and looked at him steadily.

the smart man said with a
sheer:
Don't you think you'd better

quiet man, there's no hurry.

has long been neglected and the alb
sence of proper signs is said to have
done more to discourage auto travel
ing in Arizont than any other factor.
Realizing this the directors have
launched road-signing program
which will take in every auto road in
the state.
All roads out of Phoenix for a
distance Of 80 miles have already
been signed. In addition to this signs
have been posted between Phoenix
and Prescott via Black Canyon; be-

different routes, and signs have been

routes to Globe.
Aside from its direct benefits to its
members the Automobile Club OF

Of cash bail up 20 the amount Of $25.
The club has instituted also deal
er membership open to garage men.
Such members are pledged to give

of a representative Of the club as
final. A similar arrangement is pro-
