NORTHERN EUROPEAN DRYS SEE REFORM PROGRESS
Temperance Forces of Six Countries Hear Reports
Work Going Many Lands Speakers From World League
Against Alcoholism Are Heard With Interest

Correspondent OF the American Issue
must be mentioned ono of DR.. Johan
Scharffenberg, on Methods in dealing
with drunkenness and the periodical
drunkards" He criticized severely the
general method OF fines applied to poor
people, who could not pay and therefore
had to take the arrest instead, an arrest,
where the poor men very often had to sit
in prison for weeks with no other food
than only rye bread and water. Such
treatment was inhuman the doctor said.
He showed by large statistical material,
that the same men very often are confined
in this way many times year, and that
there is very little hope of any reforma-
ton in their drink habits. He recon-
mended medical treatment of DRINKS. and
said that as other abnormal individuals
we're treated scientifically, SO should
DRINKS also be treated in the same man
ner. The lecture will no doubt call forth
a sound discussion on this important sub
ject.
The honorary president of the con-
gress, Svend Aarrcstad, spoke on the
subject: HAS the Temperance Work
Shifted in on New Lines?" This is very
often asserted by opponents of our work.
Mr.. Aarrestad's interesting lecture proved
to the full satisfaction of all, that the
work for individual temperance and the
work for legislation in order to obliterate
the liquor traffic, had always been COM
bincd and will so continue, until the great
aim of the temperance friends is reached:
a sober world.

DR.. Bergman Speaks

DIR. Johan Bergman spoke on "The
World War and TIE Temperance Work"
He explained very clearly how the world
war had greatly served the cause of So
briefly in many lands. He spoke at length
on American prohibition and proved the
great and good results it has already had
and pointed out the tremendous influence
that it will continue to have upon other
lands in order to strengthen the world
fight against the drink evil.
DR.. K. Hercod spoke on "The Temper
ance Work as a World Problem" He
pointed out the necessity of the temper
ance people to be fully organized all over
the world and TO stand in the best contact
to each other. The vets are working to-
gcther and are putting forth great eff
forts for their cause. In spite of the anti
movement as seen in several lands, for
instance, Sweden, Canada and also in the
United States, the dry work is steadily in
progress and will ultimately win
From a number of lectures touching
upon the temperance situation in the
northern lands, it was clearly seen that
the outlook is promising and that the
drys have every reason to take courage
and continue their work, which they all
expressed their Willingness to do.
Sunday. August II, church services
were held i'll connection with the congress
in four churches in Christiana: In the
Church of Our Saviour by Rev. Gunder-
sen, in the First Methodist Church by
Miss Dagnar Prior, in the Central
Church by Rev. Petersen of Odense, and
in the Baptist Tabernacle by Rev. David
Ostlund.
In the afternoon large temperance
demonstration was held when thousands
gathered in the beautiful St. Hanshaugen
to hear music and half dozen of good
speeches.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-09-05

There is no doubt that the Congress
was very helpful to the dry work in the
Northern European lands, and especially
to Norway.
The next Northern Temperance Con-
gress will be held in Reval, Esthonia, in
the year 1926.

friends in the Northern European coun-
tries was held in Christiania, Norway, Au-
gust 6-l0
About 200 representatives were in at
tendance. Six countries were represented:
Sweden. Norway. Denmark, Iceland Fin
land and Esthonia.
The congress was officially opened Att
gust O. by Arne Halgjem, who was chosen
president. The old and highly esteemed
Norwegian temperance leader, Amtmand
Svend Aarrcstad, was elected honorary
president.
That evening welcome reception was
held, where addresses were held of one
delegate from each participating country.
To the two representatives OF the World
League Against Alcoholism, DR.. X. Her
cod and Rev. David Ostlund, very
hearty welcome was extended on behalf
them delivered addresses. DR.. Hercod
spoke in French. lie expressed his graft
tudc for the hearty reception. The tenn
perance work must as soon as possible be
the subject for thought and action by the
League of Nations, in the same way a.
the question of the traffic in opium.
The Norwegian government was repre-
sented by five of its nine members, the
other four being prevented from attend
ing by sessions in the Parliament. The
prime minister, J. L. Mowinckel, was one
of those present at the welcome reception.
Rev. David Ostlund brought greetings
from the World League Against Alcohol
ism and the temperance friends in Amer
lea. He pointed out that the Scandna-
vians in America had taken a good part
in the dry work and paid special homage
to the memory of the late Senator Knute
Nelson, who did much for the cause in
America, among many others. Rev. Mr..
Ostund expressed his pleasure over the
progress of the temperance work in
Scandinavia and Finland. Specially he
said, the dry victory in the Parliament of
Norway and the appointment of a gov
eminent that was pledged, to real law
enforcement of the dry law, had been
hailed with enthusiasm all over the world.
And millions of temperance friends in
many lands were rejoicing over the
brave declaration of the prime minister
before the assembled parliament two days
ago, that the pational budget of Norway
shall not be balanced by revenue from
brandy
Prime Minister Speaks
This brought the prime minister to his
feet He said that he had been very
much touched by the greeting of the con-
gress. What had created the new Nor
wegian government was the strong feel
ing that law should be obeyed. This is
true of all laws, but especially of law
as the prohibition law which is not only
passed by the Parliament but has de-
cided majority in the nation. 81 can de-
clare on behalf of the government, that
we will endcavor to SO enforce the law
that the good results may be clear to ALL"
said he.
The declaration of the prime minister
has been much discussed in the press.
There is no doubt, it will have good eff
feet on the general public opinion that he
takes such a clear stand for nrohibition

BTLLBOARDS Are TO Be
BANNED in MINNESOTA
Beautiful Highway Cempaign Re-
moves HaIf-MiIIiOn Signs In
That State.

The highways in Minnesota are to
be adVsftisingless and unmarried by
billboards. Authorities in Dane coun-
ty, which has orderel all signs down
by May 1, phrase the keynote of the
statewide campaign thus:
Unrestricted outdoor advertising,
as it is developing and spreading
along our highways is not only often
sive, but in many cases a menace to
the safety of the public and a mar to
the beauty of our community"
The State Highway Department has
removed more than half a million
signs from Minnesota highways, in
campaign in which newspapers, rail-
roads, housewives and civic Organiza-
tiOns have united. A state law pro-
vides for a 66-foot right of way un-
marred by signs, applying to the sew
en-thOusand-mile state road system.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railway Company announces it
will revoke all permits for billboards
along the road right of way encircling
Lake Calhoun, one of Minneapolis
beauty spots.
Housewives of Crystal Bay, Lake
Minnetonka, near Minneapolis, have
voted to boycott all articles advertis-
ed on billboards in their vicinity.
According to the Minneapolis Jour-
nal "it sto be hoped that these ex-
amples will lead to further orders re-
storing scenic beauties now ruined by
roadside boarding. Owners of vacant
property along the main Travelled
roads may we'll cooperate in banning
the billboards to which they have Civ
en- asylum at small rentals. They have
thus become accomplices in the gar
ish crimes against the eye that are so
freely committed in city and country"

There was a girl in our town,
And she was wondrous fair
Until she went to a barber shop
And had them bob her hair.

She screamed loud at the sight:

time in order to. obtain a license,
and then answer a QUESTIONABLE,

people here, who do not care to have
their plans made public. They just
get into car and 90 across the
Florida line and find a justice of
the peace or the ordinary and get
the knot tied without any prelirli-
nary program.
Several couples from Thomasvilla
have been down to Monticello, Fla,
this week. and been Accommodated by
Judge Bird of the court of ordinary.
who seems nothing 10th to extend
his services in helping along Tie
work. In fact, he says, he doss
not object to any number coming
across the border for this purpose.
Few couples seem to care to have
the notice Of their coming marriage
posted up for the idle to gaze at
and comment upon and in conse-
quence many Georgia couples will
go cover the border" for the tying
of the nuptial knot.

New York City, on plans for the
proposed 81, 100000 Winter resort
hotel to be built in Macon, will
meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock at
the Chamber, it was announced yes
terday by A. 0. B. Sparks, chair
man. Besides the chairman, mem.
bers of the subcommittee are Jesse
B. Hart, G. E. Paine, Harry S..
Stroller and Marshall J. Ellis.
Mr.. Brown, who is expected to
meet with the committee today, and
with whom members of the Macon
Development Company, owners Of
the proposed site, have been negoai-
ating, has suggested BurtonF
White, operator of the Bon Air
Vanderbilt Hotel in Augusta, as the
possible lessee of the Macon Resort
hotel, and it is possible that Mr..
White will come to Macon in TIE
near future to confer with the com
mittee.
Present plans call for the erection
Of an ultra-modern and exquisitel3
appointed hotel of between 800 and
400 rooms, and the building is to lie
located on a tract beyond North

PROFITEERS IN EXILE;
CABARETS GROW DULL

MOSCOW, Sept. 16.-The whole
sale deportation to Siberia and the
north of prohteers and others, has
had a bad effect nthe Russian res
taurants and night-life resorts.
Whereas a year ago Moscow was as
gay with smart restaurants, cabarets
and cafes as the liveliest American
city, it is today as dull and depres-
sing as q New England village on a
Blue Sunday.
1t is not an uncommon sight now
adays to find more walters in a Mos
COW restaurant than actual patrons.
This is due. partly to the disappear
ance of the profiteers, who were the
most regular and LIBERAL frequenters
Of the restaurants, and partly to a
fear on the part Of those left behind
that they may share a like fate if
they give evidence of having suf-
fcient money to patronize the more
expensive eating places.

COULDN'T MAKE
AEROPLANE BEHAVE

Take 1t from Kenneth Harlan that
an aeroplane is a tricky toy to plav
with unless you know what all the
levers means. When you see 1.-THE
Broken Wing" a Preferred Picture
now playing at the Rylander, last
showing tonight, you will probably
remark on his talent as an aviator
but the truth, is that Kenneth had
fright when he climbed into a
plane at a flying fields near Los
Angeles in the company of Miriam
Cooper to enact an early sequence
in this comedy-drama of an Ameri-
can filler in Mexico.
For there hours Kenneth had
been Schooled by "Loop-the-Loop"
Murphy in the delicate art of pilot
ing an aeroplane around on the
ground which was as far as he was
supposed to carry the performance
without the presence of a profess
sional. He cranked the engine and
started taxing around, somewhat
nervously, when all at once some
thing in the vicinity of the motor
roared and the plane leaped off the
ground. Happily, however, it soon
returned to earth as abruptly as it
had decided to shoot heavenward.
Little Miss Cooper was very near
fainting and had to be helped off
the field.
Il don't know what happened"
the actor explained. l pulled
something and away she went.
remembered Murphy telling me to
kick off the switch if anything
went wrong, and believe me, broth
er, that's just what l didp'
Practice makes perfacet, how
ever, and by the time "The Broken
Wing" was completed, Kenneth had
become such skilled aviator that
he soon took out license as pilot.
