Denmark

Queen Alexandrina, suffering from a slight internal trouble, was operated on at St. Lucas Hospital, Copenhagen.

King Christian and Queen Alexandrina will celebrate their silver wedding on April 26. The doctors attending the Queen predict that she will have completely recovered from her operation by that date.

Bootlegging is a source of great concern to the police. Although the country is not dry, alcoholic beverages are saddled with exceptionally high duty, which acts in some measure as an effective prohibition law. The smugglers buy the spirits in Germany at one crown a liter and sell it to Scandinavian countries at six crowns or more. The perplexed police are biting their nails with anger at the baffling tactics employed by the smart rum-runners.
