NORTH EUROPE HAS NUMEROUS LIQUOR RULES Restrictions Apply to Hard Drink; No Limits on Wines and Beers. BT WALLACE CARROLL I'nited Presi Staff Corespondent LONDON, Dec. 6—The American tlr'-wt is not the only one restricted W law. A United Press survey of Europe has revealed numerous regulations and also has shown that methods of evading the liquor laws which Americans consider peculiarly their own are in vogue in half a dozen continental countries. In Helsingfors, the capital of “dry” Finland, the bootlegger still visits the hotel room of the thirsty traveler despite .enforcement laws and anti-smuggling treaties with other countries on the Baltic. In Brussels, where the law frowns on public drinking of spirituous liquors, the right kind of wink will get a cocktail at a bar run by an English cockney. Closed Sundays And In Riga, the man who is persistent can secure a bottle for a week-end party, although liquor theoretically may not be sold in Latvia between Saturday noon and Monday morning. The “Volsteads” of northern Europe have directed most of their attention to spiritous liquors, leaving beer and light wines practically unrestricted. The Swede with a taste for whisky, gin or 2 brandy must have a spirits book.” Those who own a book may purchase a limited supP V of spirits monthly from the alcohol monopoly. Sell "Spirits Book” Any one whose habits are above suspicion is allowed a took. Nevertheless, evasions are frequent Rumrunmng from the Baltic ports is a profitable occupation and holders of the spirits books hav e been known to sell their surplus.

FALLEN CULTURES WARNING TO U. S.

Study of Ancients Will Show Moderns How to Last, Claims Scientist. Bu Science Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The decay of the old Indian cultures of America contains a warning and a lesson by which modern Americans may profit—if archaeologists can only succeed in reading the warning. Dr. A. V. Kidder, director of archaeological activities of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, stated in a lecture at the institution Tuesday night. Civilizations grow up and flourish and fade as individuals do, but the cycles of civilizations are very little understood, Dr. Kidder pointed out. The great problem of history is to understand the causes of these cycles that cultures follow, for if we pected Iceland to buy Spanish wine. Iceland still has a dry law, but Spanish wine is the life of an Icelandic party. Wood alcohol almost became “popular” jn Holland for a time. To save the nation, the government cut in half the excise tax on gin. Now the Dutch connoisseur is proud of the quality of his liquor, while the price fits his purse. The British Isles have an elaborate system of liquor control. In Glasgow the “pubs” close at 9 o’clock. In Edinburgh at 10. All the “pubs” in Scotland and Wales are closed on Sunday. Premier Mussolini of Italy is a water drinker. The number of saoons in Italy has been reduced unler his regime. Wild high school parties are unknown in Italy, for no ulcoholic beverage may be served on vchool premises. ANCIENT CLOCK WORKS Timepiece Made By Indiana Man Ticks On at Age of 104.

could trace the insidous deterioration of Greece and Rome or of the Pueblos and the Mayas in America, we might better stave off the period of decline which will befall the American civilization, he said. It is assumed that America Is somewhere near the crest of Its (utilization, though whether we are still on the upgrade or whether we have started downhill is unknown,” he continued, “if we want to stay up and preserve our race and its culture is behooves us to stimulate’ fundamental studies of this problem.” The American phenomena offer an admirable starting point for such studies because they are simple and clear cut, he explained. The Indians lived in this country for some thousands of years and built up their cultures undisturbed by outside Influences, until the white men finally came. Relics of their existence, the clews to their rise and downfall, are well preserved in some parts of this continent. The period of their decline is particularly clear in the southwest where the bones and possessions and homes of the Indians are found near the surface of the soil and where some records from historic times are available by which archaeologists can check the data they unearth.

THE INDIANA* tjLIS TIMES

HARSH MUSIC MADEJFfIRCET Firm Is Formed to War on Helen Kane Type. Bu United Fret * NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—A company just has been formed here which has pledged $6,600,000 to convince Americans that the "vo-do-dee-o----do" school of popular music should be supplanted by “A-night-in-June-beneath-the-moon,” school. Incorporation in Albany of the Radio Music Company has brought out the fact that the National Broadcasting Company was playing a prominent part in the campaign to restore melody to the place it occupied in the days when Viennese waltzes were as popular as, say, “Button Up Your Overcoat.” According to present plans, the war on harsh and strident music will be waged by means of phonograph records, talking motion pictures and radio. It was announced that the radio music company had a working agreement with Victor-Radio Corporation and Radio-Keith-Orpheum by which the air could be filled with melodies of the Rudy Vallee type. Pushing the Helen Kane branch of minstrelsy from the prominent place it now occupies.
