MORE FEBRUARY FAILURES,

NEW YORK. March 4.-Business
failures in February established a
new high record for the, month in
number. but the total of liabilities
was smaller than it was in February.
1921. AS reported to Bradstreet's, the
number was 22.7 per cent less than in
January and the liabilities declined
40 per cent from the January total.
Compared With February, 1921, the
liabilities declined 1872 per cent:
The previous maximum of failures
in February was reached in 1915 and
it was exceeded in February of this
year by II per cent. The comparison
with February, 1921, is made all the
sharper this year by the fact that the
second month of last Year brought
the smallest total for the period in
twenty-eight years.

The closing was heavy. Sales ap-
proximated 100000 shares.
Much Uncertainty.
Price movements reflected much un-
certainty in the mind of the financial
community as to the immediate posi-
tion resulting from the weeks specu-
lation The only weakness. however,
occurred in the wheat market, which
was still under the influence of the i'm
western states. For the moment the
fear that damage to the winter wheat
crop has been exaggerated Is of more
account than the active export demand.
Foreign exchange had further
period of unsettlement at the start of
the day. but rallied generally before
the close. The one exception was the
German mark. and the reason for its
decline below the 40 level was readily
apparent in the weekly statement of
the German reichSbank.
German Finances.
More striking than at any time
so far was the desperate condition
forced upon German finances which the
succession of ten-day reparation pay
ments brought forth. Note circulation
which for nearly a month had remained
stationary, giving some hope that in
flation had been checked, suddenly
jumped another 100000 marks to the
huge total of 120,O26. 900. 900 marks.
In view of this the advocation will
certainly increase to have Germany
balance her budget, even if to do SO
involves additional taxes and enor-
nous forced loans.

SWEDEN FACES TEST
ON PROHIBITION
Medical Board Opposes To-
tally Dry Regime for
Its Country
CAN'T DISPENSE
WITH STIMULANTS

Bratt System of Personal Restriction
Has Greatly Reduced Drunkenness
Vote ON Liquor Question Comes on
Aug. %, This Year.
STOCKHOLM. June 10-"To deprive
the majority of citizens, who do not mis-
use alcoholic liquors, of what is for them
an innocent stimulent because a small
number of people abuse liquor seems to
be rather a Draconic decree"
This opinion is found in the official
report Just issued by the medical board
of Sweden ON the proposed introduction
Of total prohibition. 1t has aroused in
tense interest throughout the country
which is now in the midst of a nation
wide conflict between the prohibition
forces and those who want to maintain
the present so-called Bratt rationing sys-
TEN, whereby only those who have
openly shown their abuse of alcoholics
are deprived of its use. Sweden Will
vote on the liquor question Aug. q of
this year.
The medical board points out further
! that a large number of physicians be-
| lieve that under certain circumstances,
4 and in the case of certain diseases. al
/ Cohol cannot be dispensed with without
great disadvantages, and it says that
not only the fatal consequences of the
ABUSE OF aICU0Ol SnOuiu De tOHSlhtItu
but also those effects that cannot be
characterized as harmful. 1t declares
that most Of the so-called primitive races
used alcohol and expresses doubt thai
a cultured community can suddenly dis
penSe with stimulants. If the aim is
to produce nOn-aicoholic community
this end must be achieved through legis
lation imposing gradual restrictions, Sc
that the present and possibly the mex
generation may be afforded time tC
| change their habits.
In conclusion the board, while empha
sizing the necessity for vigorously fight.
ing the misuse of alcohol. recommends
that the personal restriction system now
in force in Sweden be further tested,
developed and improved.
Sweden has used the Bratt system for
seven. years Under it the country's in
cbriate record reached the lowest figures
| since 1913 during the first quarter of
this year. according to the Swedish so
cial board. The drop in the inebriety
| record has been especially marked in and
about Stockholm where ii amounts to
no less than 36S per cent compared to
the last quarter of 1921. In some Swed-
sh provincial towns drunkenness has
decreased % to 60 per cent.

The Passing of the AdnabrOwn.
YRallows Falls Times.(
At 10 O'Clock A. NJ.

The report comes out of Springfield
that the Adnabrown Hotel in that vii
lage is to be closed July l, that the lobby
is to be converted into a store and the
rest of the building into offices. This
change IS to be made by the owners of
the block LaFountain, Woolson & Co.
in order that greater revenue may be
realized from money invested. If the re-
port is true. what shame! A splendid
hostelry like the Adnabrown in SPLEEN
did village like Springfield converted into
a Store IA order to secure a few more
dollars is indeed a sad blow to all greater
Vermont propaganda. The hotel men Of
the state have started a campaign tc
bring business into Vermont. We have
been told that more and better hotels IN
Vermont would bring more business, but
what becomes of the argument when a
first class hotel like the Adnabrown
closes its doors Springfield without a
hotel is unthinkable.
