1904 Driving Permits
Revoked, Suspended
Here Last Month

October suspensions and revoca-
tions of automobile driving permits
were the highest in its history, the
Board of Revocation and Restora-
ton Of Operators Permits announced
today. The total was 1904. During
September 1908 motorists received
suspensions or revocations.
One of the features OF the report
was the large number of out-of town
motorists whose privilege to drive
here was suspended. The board
does not have the authority to sus-
pend the licenses of out-of- town
drivers but it can withdraw the
privilege given them, by reciprocity
to drive in Washington. Almost half
of the suspensions were for out-of-
town drivers, mostly from Virginia
and Maryland.
The privilege to drive in the Dis
trict of 400 out of town drivers was
suspended.
Speeding was the principal cause
of suspensions. There were $50
cases last month. OF these 546 were
first offenders, 1856 of them being
Washington drivers, while almost
double that number-360-were out
of-town drivers. Second speed Of
tenders totaled 90, of which 76 were
Washington drivers. Charged with
a third offense of speeding, four
District drivers had their licenses
revoked.
Accidents were next highest on

the list Of offenses which resulted
in suspension of drivers licenses. OF
these 176 were Washington motor
lists, while 70 out-of- town drivers
had their privilege suspended, for
periods varying from Is days to in
definite suspensions. Eighty-one Dis
trict drivers were among the indefi-
mites.
Forty-one motorists had their IL
censes revoked on a charge of driv-
ing while intoxicated. On a charge
that they were of "unsound mind"
six District drivers had their permits
indefinitely suspended and one was
revoked.
In addition to the suspensions and
revocations, the board sent out

Sex Hormones Are
Obtoined From Swedish
SuIphote Pulp

STOCKHOLM, January 6.-(By
airmail) In the manufacture of
sex hormones and certain other
substances the pha ~maceutical in
dustry has hitherto employed al
most exclusively cholesterin as the
basic material. This product, eX-
tracted from the spinal cord OF
calves, is at present difficult to
obtain. One of the by-products
obtained in the manufacture of
sulphate pulp is the so-called ply
tosterin group, which serves as a
basic ingredient for the manufac-
ture of many remedial agents,
among them hormones.
The Swedish Pulp Company
therefore recently started the man.
ufacture Of phytosterin from
Swedish pine, and the finished
product seems to be able to re-
place cholesterin in many cases.
The problem of how to extract
the phytosterin groups in a pure
state and on a large scale has been
subject of research in the
Swedish Pulp Company labora-
tories for many years and the
manufacturing methods now en-
ployed have been developed by the
firms own chemists and engi-
neerS.
The consumption of phytosterins
is relatively limited. especially if
compared with the quantities
which it is technically possible to
produce. The company, therefore,
expects to be able to cover the re-
quirements OF the entire world for
a long time to come.

All Space, Sun,
And Sparkling
Water

Stockholm, loveliest and most
lovable of cities, is a perfect eX-
preston of the Swedish tempera-
ment and charm, blending Viking
strength with French grace. Mag
nificent, yet never overpowering;
dignified. yet intensely friendly;
it is captivating in the tonic fresh
ness of its atmosphere, and the
exquisite, almost unbelieva b e
cleanliness of streets and build
ings against the vivid blue of sea
water and the softer blue of Lake
Malaren. The maSsed green of
trees, the brilliance of flowers,
and the marvellous golden blue-at-
mosphere, give it a charm never
seen elsewhere, and as alluring as
it is hopelessly impossible to de-
scribe.
Air, space, sunlight, and spark
ling water Those are the domin-
ating impressions; for the wa
terways of Stockholm are spa
cious, unlike those of Venice to
which it is so often and SO mis-
takenly likened; and the city is
spread over a very great area of
enchanting wooded islands and the
high cliffs of the mainland. Those
who sit on a terrace high above
the city and watch the sun sink in
a golden haze behind the hills
bounding the immense lake with
its myriad islands are caught up
in the enchantment of scene
that no other city in the world can
offer. Yet perhaps there is an ev-
en- more breathtaking quality in
the soft blue of Stockholm un-
forgettably lovely summer nights,
when the moonlight turns the ci-
ty to a dream-like beauty; or in
the ethereal, almost unreal. en-
chantment of Stockholms winter
snow and ice.
There are many ways of ex-
ploring Stockholm, and many diff
ferent opinions about the best it
inerary. Perhaps the happiest
idea is to take a flight over Stock
holm, to gain a realization; of its
wonderful situation; and visit
Skansen, to see the early ideas of
Swedish architecture, which have
found their final expression in the
splendid modern buildings of the
city.
No city in the world is so well
worth seeing from the air as
Stockholm. with its maze of wa
terways and it's wooded islands.
Set at the point where the wa
tiers of Lake Nalaren rush and
swirl under many bridges to reach
the Saltsjon, the long arm of the
Baltic Sea, the city is spread over
islands and peninsulas, and sur
rounded by green countryside and
sparkling water stretching away
to the horizon.-From In Praise
of Sweden" by Maxwell Fraser.
