Back across the river we find Rus

which countless art treasures have
long been stored. Whole rooms filed
with original Rembrandts, Rubens,
Van Dykes and other old masters, sew

Michael Angelo are here with count
less other treasures. This collection
has been greatly enlarged by works
taken from various private collec-
tions. A passage leads into the Win
ter Palace which is rapidly being con-
verted into a modern museum of Rus
sian art. Thus in a very real and
practical sense the workers feel that
all this wealth flched from. their fore

In SO competitive sales the average
rate was $2.40 per thousand.

CLAIMS PROHIBITION
FAILURE IN FINLAND

BERLIN, Aug. 81. Prohibition
has proved to be a complete failure
in Finland
This is the judgment of Evenska
Pressen. a Finnish newspaper which
made a survey Of the effects of pro-
hibiton on the seventh anniversary
of It's Introduction.
Consumption of alcohol may no
have increased under prohibition, the
paper says. but it has become much
more dangerous in physical and espe-
cally moral effects
The paper lists the evils of prohi.
bition as follows:
The Finnish people, formerly
known as the most law-abiding in
the world. have now become one of
the most lawless.
Nobody pays any attention to the
prohibition laws. Everybody drinks

to Mobiles participation in the flight
from the outset"
Under the agreement, Mobile was
to write a technical appendix" Mr..
Ellsworth said, but this has been
changed to read technical and aerial
part of the flight"
This change was made without
the knowledge or consent of either
myself or Captain Amundsen," he
said ut was a high-handed pro-
cedure. When I showed the clubs

thing to me. | have tried to com

answer"
The Alaska daily empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1912-1926, 1926-08-21

Honesty and uprightness have been
replaced by hypocrisy and lies.
Enormous sums are spent in boot
leg bu4 ness and liquor running.
IT, state has lost the revenues
from licensed alcohol sale and must
spend millions besides in trying to
enforce prohibition.
'''rhe seventh anniversary OF the
in'faiurtion of prohibition should be
q ea5 of prayer and penance for the
whole country the paper concludes,
but especially for the adherents of
prohibition
Uniortunately, the sense of shame
has not yet awakened in these people,
or else they woa'd not talk of new
rigorous laws, more supervision and
still more drastic interference in the
freedom of our fellow citizens"
