WC C. T1 U. Notes

THE BRAIT SYSTEM

The Bratt System of Sweden was

instituted in 1912. Under it the country is divided into districts and mmwpoly of sale of spirits is given in' each dstrlct to s zrouo of clu- Zen-S who asree to limit their prot- its. A. mot-book or permit is issued to citizens over 21 years of ago. ‘Beer is sold without e permit. Three results have developed and are now outstanding, and strange W SKY (hae results are already paralleled under Government Bale in Canada. The sales of spirits have increased under the system. the liermiis show that the number ol’ drinkers has increased the num- ber of women drinkers has also ln- creased.

Dr. Karl Ekman, Prime Minister,

iums up 'the results as follows: The Brett System fosters and s,.\'r.ads the drink habit instead of sillw-'vssillc lt." (Tempennce Ad- vocate).

THE EXPLOSION THAT PROVED A SQUIB

The attempt in the House of

Commons, sponsored -by Col. Syd- ney Robinson, member for West Essex, to repeal the amendment to the Export Act; which forbids ex- port of liquor to a prohibition coun- try, ended in a complete fiasco. Col. Robl.nscm alone spoke to the ques- tion. When it was put he was al- most alone in its support. “In s. silence so deep that the death rat- tle could almost be heard across the Commons' floor," to quote the per- liamentary correspondent of the Mau and Empire. the motion was killed.

Col. Robinson stressed the loss of

revenue he cited the ungracious treatment oi commuters at the border, and the assumed failure of the measure to restrict the flow ol' Canadian liquor to the United States; but he forgot, to remind the House that Csnada has been de- livered from the invasion of cor- ruptlonists and cutthroats with their demoralizing influences along our borders.

The treatment; afforded his m0t-

lon by the House was in accord with the general sense of the County, and for the rest- of it evidences the fact that when the liquor question is d\‘l»€8¢d into “W open where public attention is focussed upon it. few public men are willing to associate themselves with the disreputable business.

(The Temperance Advocate) The address of Sir George F06t~

er at the World W. C. T. U. Con- vention, Toronto, contained many stirring and forceful statements. Hs referred to the system of Ci°v- emment control of the liquor traf- rlc ,.5 at "mixing, fadinr experi- ment." “Pxohibiticn in Osnads is not dead," he said "is not even asleep. The temperance movement has not gone back.

‘Gulf Stream Study Reveals Influence On Northern Clime

BTOCKHOLM. Sweden, Dec. 18

-Careful observations of the Gulf stream for s period of years have revealed its remarkable influence upon the climatic conditions in Northem Europe. particularly in Norway and Sweden. The head of the meteorological hydrograph- icsl institute in Stockholm. J. W. Sandstroem. in a recent interview explains the 'cause o`i this inter- esting phendmsnapand how it ac- tually is possible to predict wea- ther conditions, warm or cold sum- mers and winters, practically three years in advance, due to the varying temperature of the Gulf Stream.

When in the summer of 1928

infomation was received from the other side of the Atlantic that the water of the Gulf Stream was unusually warm, it was observed during the next winter that this warm water had reached the Southern point of Iceland causing a low pressure condition., while n high atmospheric pressure was observed over Northern Russia ac- ccmpanled` by clear, cold weather. The same winter also was one of the coldest in the annals of Swc~ den. holding the country ice- bound for an` unusually long per-

iod.

The following summer, in 1929.

the warm water belt had moved

North of Iceland, bringing with it the some low pressure conditions. Now thc Southerly winds from Spain and the Azores brought their warmth to Sweden directly. causing in this country one of the wanncst of winters on record. The third summer the warm water current had reached the North Arctic Sea north of Norway. That year a heavy melting process was observed at the edge of the great Polar ice region, making possible the historic recovery of the re- mains of the Andrea expedition. The westerly winds caused a warm autumn that year, but the warm water current moved North and East towards the Spltzbergen and Franz Joscplfs Land bringing with li the low pressure atmosphere. The wind conseqqucntly turned morn and more and finally be- cunw north-westerly, bringing the c-hilly nil- of lcc-covered Greenland lo swf-rlen. The spring and sum- mer of i931. were, therefore, unus-

\n\1l_v cold and unpleasant.

Rccent information from the

United States tells oi’ a very warm c-urrt~ni in the Gulf Stream this _\-nor I-_‘list of New York and Bos- ton. Bl-fore the effects of that c\u'l'0uL :irc felt in Northern Eu- rope the old cycle of Weather clmngcs will reach its completion and it cold winter' may be expect-
