tion. The applicant must write down
full information concerning his
birth, antecedents, residence and the
amount of his assessed income and
the rent he pays. If he Is short in
his taxes he will not get a book. and
II he has been arrested for drunken
ness his chances are slim. II his
application is granted, he fills out
a card with his signature and this is
filed in the store where he buys his
liquor. Each time a sale Is made. a
detachable slip. upon which the owner
signs his name, Is left as a receipt
for the goods received, and his sig
nature must be verified with the card
in the store bearing his name. His
book shows the record Of just how
much liquor he has bought up to the
time of each purchase and there Is
no chance for him to run over the
quota allotted to him. Only one of
these mot books Is given out to the
head of family, husband OF wife,
and none to any one under twenty
one years of age. The law also pro-
and cafes selling liquors, and there
are systems of recording all cases Of
drunkenness and poverty arising from
alcohol drinks.
I am told that the drunkenness has
greatly decreased since the Inaugural
tion of the mot book system and
that the amount of. alcoholic liquors
sold off the premises has dwindled
one-half. i have before me q card
giving a diagram of the decline in
drunkenness. hospital cases from the
use Of alcohol and chronic alcoholism
in the city of Stockholm from 1918
to 1921. The estimate was made for
each 10000 inhabitants. The street
drunkenness declined 81 per cent, the
hospital cases an equal amount and
chronic alcoholism was reduced. by
so per cent. The first figures were
taken from the police records and the
last two from hospital records.
A curious condition was produced
here by the almost absolute prohibi-
tion caused by the blockade during
part Of the war. Through 1917 and
1918 almost no liquor could be
brought In end legally sold This,
the authorities claim, acted in much
the same way as total prohibition
the drunkenness began to decline. It
! Is now far below what 1t was In 1918.
The people can get liquor legally and
the bootlesgers have vanished. DIR.
Ivan Bratt. the originator of this mot
book system. and at the head OF the
movement for the regulation of liquor
legislation in Sweden. tells me that
he believes a strongly controlled legal
ICED trace in liquors is better than
prohibition on account Of the illegal
actions that always arise out of pro-
hibition. He says there are many

The observer thought IL would have

Clothes with fur ornamentation dot
the pleasure landscapes. Let the ther-
mometer stand where 1t will, no
woman complains Of peltry ripping
over her garments. This is another
proof OF the power of imagination
directed as one wishes.
Black satin gowns without sleeves
and showing a bare neck offset this
effect Of coolness on a hot afternoon
by having the arm opening edged
with narrow beige fur. AS the open
ing extends from shoulder to waist.
there's a goodly splash of peltry.
The drapery on the skirt drops like

Is edged with fur. The thinnest of
summer capes have wide outstanding
collars Of beige fur.
Thankful are we that the dress
makers don't ask us to wear black
fur. They give US ermine in its two
seasonal shades, white and tan. The
animal that grows the fur is self
concealing, lending itself to the alter
mating snow and dust OF Russia.

When reformers ask women to hide
their bare arms and necks on the
streets these summer days we are
glad to retort that our colonial an
cestors trod this path Of fashion.
Never was there a season of such
public exposure Of shoulders and arms
as now. Gloves are taboo. So are
scarfs. And criticism has ceased
We are SO familiar with the appear
ance Of women over here that the
visitor to Paris and London writes
home that women's arms are covered
to the knuckles over there. That
seems strange to them.
The new French gowns have open
uecks, back and front, but sleeves are
long and important. Again, that's
suggestive of the Orient. Our new
autumn clothes will not be sleeveless.
Possibly the sumptuous evening
gowns will have sleeves in imitation
of the Indo-China costumery from
which we take our cue this season.
Therefore. it's well that women
make the best of their comfortable
habit while 1t lasts. The weather
aids and abets the fashion.

The country has assets of three or

only about one-tenth that amount.
The government has a surplus Of
more than 500.000.000 gold dollars.

1 \ Sweden. A country like this
cannot be permanently injured by any
temporary money depression. 1t has
farm products which bring in a half
billion dollars per- annum and 10000
factories which are annually making
goods approximating three-quarters
of billion dollars. The Swedes were
selling steel tools long before Tubal-
cain, the grandson of Methuselah and
brother Of Noah, worked at the forge.
The forest industries of Sweden alone
produce something like $100.000,o 900
per annum and from its waterfalls 1t
Is now getting about a million and a
quarter horsepower with upward of
100000 more horsepower yet to

than $S00,000.000, and before the
nually yielding about a half billion
dollars The income from them was
then equal to two and one-half times
the interest on the national debt. At
that time the national wealth was
increasing. and inasmuch. as it hes
largely in natural resources and ma
tfonal thrift it is bound to continue
to grow. ::
The new minister to Sweden, Robert
Woods Bliss, Is q professional diplo-
mat. He was appointed last spring
to this post in accordance with the
policy of Secretary of State Hughes,
who believes that our diplomatic off,
GERS should be trained in the business
and rise gradually from secretaries to
ambassadors Mr.. Bliss entered the
service shortly after he graduated
from Harvard in 1s0o.- He began as
private, secretary to the governor of
Porto Rico. A year or so later he
was our consul at Venice, and the
year after that was connected with
the embassy at st. Petersburg, He
has been stationed at Brussels,
Buenos Aires and Paris, where he
was counselor to the embassy during
the war and the peace conferences.
Later still he was charge d'affaires
of our legation at The Hague He is
now only forty-eight years old, but
his long experience ought to make
him q valuable minister.

for half the term OF President Hard
ing. He had a delicate position here
during the war. About half of the
Swedes sympathized with Germany
and the other half with the allies.
The masses were In favor of France.
England and Italy. while the nobility
and soldiers, who had been trained
after German methods. favored the
kaiser The Queen Of Sweden is a
German. She was Princess Victoria,
the daughter of Friedrich, Grand
Duke of Baden.
Before the Russians went bolshevik
the question OF involving Norway and
Sweden in war hung by a hair. The
Swedes have long hated the Russians
and they feared the czar while the
Russians were acting with the allies.
Russia was building military rail-
roads across Finland, and in case the
Germans were defeated the Swedes
feared the czar might seize the iron
mines of Lapland and Narvik, an open
port on the Norwegian coast. and an
mex all northern Scandinavia.
A warning to this effect had already
been issued in 1912 by Swan Hedin,
the Asiatic explorer, who published a
pamphlet of seventy pages. entitled
"A Warning Word" In this Hedin
pointed out Russia's ambition and ad-
vised that the Swedes make them
selves ready for war. The book
created a sensation, and with 1t as
propaganda about 100000 was
raised by subscription for battleships.
In 1914 Hedin published a. second
warning, and the excitement became
so great that $4,000 farmers elected
by the country population came to
Stockholm and in an address to the
king told him that they were willing
to stand any new taxes he might wish
to impose for the defense of the ma
tion. The king came out on the bal
cony of the royal palace and told the
peasants that he would not fail them,
and would not compromise in any
vital question regarding the father
land. He told them that this meant
a longer military service for the citi-
zens, hard winter training and a con-
siderable increase in the army and
navy. After that all party lines were
forgotten, and parliament voted a big
extra fund to maintain Sweden's neu-
trality, and make 1t ready should she
have to fight.
How much this situation meant was
hardly appreciated in America. The
Swedish army on a peace footing has
less than $4,000 men, but every Swede
from the age of twenty to forty-two
is liable to service and the total num-
Der on the rolls amounts to $4,000.
There were times during the war
when the Swedes were on the edge
Of joining the Germans. They were
angry at the allies and our minister,
had much to do in persuadlng them
to maintain their neutrality.

supplying raw materials in the way
Of. iron and timber, as we'll as steel
bars and other stuffs for munitions.
She sent cellulose to Germany, which
was made into clothing, and wrought
iron and also cast iron in pig.
The result was that all the indus
trials rose in value and speculation
was rife In 1915 500 new companies
were organized and in 1918 more than
1,600 flooded the market with new
stocks. During the four years Of
the war the bank clearings increased
