PAGE TEN" fr. * Border Line Is Peaceful But Strict Watch Is Kept Montreal, June 10.+-That curi- ous smell of wine-soaked corks with a suggestion of straw that recalls a wine-cellar! "Smells like liquor' said the pretty girl "Sure, the next room is full of if, --500 bottles odd." The Ameri- can customs officer smiled genial- ly, like a caricature of an older, wiser, clean-shaven [Uncle Sam. It was at the little border town of Champlain, a few miles off the beaten track through Rouses Point, on last Saturday's Lrilliant afternoon. The Canadian girl counted the bottles, There were a hundred odd vermouth, about 200. each of port and sherry, and eight bottles of Manhattan Cock- tail, But mark those eight bot- tles. They were the only ones of the whole batch which had come ori- ginally from the Quebec Liquor Commission, or hore the least trace of having been through the Commission's hands. In other words, the 500 had all been smuggled into Canada, hefore be- ing smuggled int, th? United Madame" Ho.

Opin- ion around the customs offices suggested St. Pierre or Miquelon as the source, but it seemed at least as likely that they Had been smuggled off ships in the St. Lawrence, Found in Haystack The customs agent explained: "We just picked them all out of a Haystack on Felion's farm, about a mile out of town. No, there has been no arrest. We'll go and have a talk with Felion in a few days if we want him to ex- plain. On top of those were 50 cases of stout, but we haven't bothered to keep them here. This is mot much of haul as they go. "You ought to have dropped in 15 minutes ago," the agent went on confidentially. "You'd have seen the end of a chase. Our pa- trol car picked up a bootlegger driving through on one of the lit- tle dirt roads out of town. There was a chase but the patrol car was too fast for him. Well the hootlegger is on his way to jail at Plattsburg, now. Come and look at his car." Beer Is Valued The pretty girl and her eom- panions strolled across the street to where a dark green medium size car was parked. There war no driver's seat in it, but instead half a dozen neatly sewed sacks, each containing a case of pint bottles of beer. There was no concealment, the whole floor of the sedan being packed with square sacks, 22 in all. Asked how it was that bootleggers found it worth while to drive in beer, which is a relatively cheap ~om- modity, the agent said: "Well, if he gets about $50 a case, as he probably does, for delivering the stuff, and if he makes two trips a week, then he's pulling down more money than you and me." The girl and her party left Champlain for a week-end In the Adirondack. Outside Plattsburg they encountered a motor-cycle policeman ushering a car into town making the driver go ahead, as one would march a prisoner. They got no hint of what the trouble was. At Rouse's Point, on Sunday night was the usual procession of week-end autoists. Rouse's Point is the great border thor- oughfare, the haunt of the petty offender who tries to sneak in 'an odd bottle, rather than the resort of the big bootlegger. But on the side roads near the town they have made a few hauls lately. On June 2, for example, they brought in a Buick sedan with 678 quart bottles of ale. On May 26 they captured a Hudson coach with no less than 1,995 pints of ale, and a Ford coupe with 240 quarts on the same day. But on the whole things have been quiet at Rouse's Point, ever since they made the record hanl of 2,600 Swiss watch- es last fall. by its proponents, but in the ten years since' its enactment, igs advo- cates had been resting on their lau- rels while 40,000,000 young people who never saw the evils of the Je- galized saloon had been growing up under the influence of wet propa- ganda. The time had come for dry workers to*abandon "their defensive attitude toward the 18th amendment and adopt an aggressive programme of education. In discussing the attitude of young people toward prohibition, he said that 14 of the 15 cssays entered by school children in a contest spon- sored by an American Legion post in a town withih 20 miles of Port- land referred to prohibition as the greatest hindrance to the realiza- tion of American.ideals. « These re ferenges, said the speaker, were in- dicative of the influence of the wet press and wet magazines. In proof of his assertion that present youth had been misinformed concerning prohibition, he quoted the statement of a high school en- trant in an essay contest conducted by the Christian Civic League that "large cities had as many as five saloons before prohibition" No young person today knew what the "Keeley cure" was, declared Mr. Smith. . Wide publicity given by newspa- pers to liquor law violations indi- cated they were infrequent enough to be considered news, continued the minister, He expressed the opinion that while present conditions were. far from approaching perfec- tion they were nearer that state than were conditions of the legal- jzed saloon period. Noisy Roosters To Be Tolerated No More Lynn, Mass.--Noisy "roosters will no longer be tolerated in Lynn, An edict prohibiting the king of the henyard from giving vent to his vocal azperations at an unduly early hour in the morning was issued re- cently by the new health commis- sioner, Dr. Walter L. Burns. Crow- ing roosters may. be useful in an- nouncing to the hen owners that the dawn has come, but there has been altogether too much crowing in the past and it must stop at once, or the roosters must go, the doctor's states ment. says. the city shows more than 700 hen yards, which he says is an excessive number, He added, however, that owing "to present conditions he would not move to cut down the; number of hen owners at this time, but roosters, unless they manage to do their vocal work in a more meloe dious tone and at a reasonable hour in the day, are'doomed, Matrimony has settled down te normal when she discards her ting embroidered aprons.

Thorough E ination : On the Canadian side of the line, at Lacolle, customs examina- tion is much more thorough than on the American side. The tar. iff is being enforced, all right, even though the ordinary run of transgression is merely the petty smuggling of cigarettes and silks, There is not the same bhig-boot- legger problem on the Canadian side. At the moment, the Canadian immigration officers are as busy as the customs men. About 25 would-be-immigrants a week are turned back from Champlain and 150 a week from Lacolle. Most of these are Russians and Italians, according to one of the officers. If a foreigner has a job all fixed up in Canada, that constitute con. tract labor and he is not admitted. If he has no job then he must be able to support himself. Taken all in all, the "three . thousand miles of undefended frontier" be- COFFEE TRIO tween Canada and the United States is bristling with more act- ivity by preventive officers on both sides than has heen seen for a long time. Peace reigns as easily, but the frontier is more of | a barrier than it has been in the past. Refined Casual Wards Shunned By Knights of Road In Britain London, June 10---The Ministry of Health is solicitous over the va- grant tramp. It has circularized municipal authorities urging more comforts be provided in the casual wards, It advises spring mattress. es, shaving mirrors in the bath- room, a shower spray, footbaths and ablution basins with hot and cold water, and that central heat- ing should be maintained until a sufficiently late hour. "Coarse nightshirts that are sometimes issued should have their pristine stiffness removed by a good hoiling and should be sent to the laundry daily," the circular adds. All of which inspires the Daily Telegraph Monday to comment: "The official reason is that the more refined the casnel ward be- comes the less attractive the tramp finds it. The logical conclu. sion fs that the argument would. be complete by extinction of casu- al relief by turning every casual ward into a hotel-de-lux." Urges South Africa | as Farming Country | (By The Canadian Press) London, Jume 10. -- Urging South Africa as .a good farming country to which prospective Brit- ish emigrants could turn their at- tention with a fair assurance ot success the Earl of Athlone, who, | with Princess Alice, Countess of | Athlone, recently returned to England after having been Gov- ernor-General of South Africa, at a recent dinner held by the South African Luncheon Club in London dealt with the question of settl- ing in the far Dominion as .one who knew from, personal experi- ence whereof he spoke. He point. ed out however that only those who took the large view were of any use there. Lord Athlone referred to the fact that at a dinner in London a few days previously he had warn- ed his audience uot ty take too literally all the news on South African affairs received in Eng- land, tinged as it often was by political bias. It was in a mea. sure due to such reports that peo- ple were inclined to doubt the wisdom of settling in South Afri- ca, and there was another reason as well which was hampering the work of the 1820 Settlers' Asso- ciation, The association had dur- ing the last few years placed some fine types of farmers on the land, who were doing well. Unfortu- nately, a certain number of young fellows had arrived in South Afri- ca who had neither the aptitude and, after trying their hands on the land for a few months, drifted into the towns. where most likely they worked in a garage or be- came advertising agents for some firm for a short time, and finally returned to England penniless and disgruntled. This did not encour- age others, who might be more suited to this type of industry, to tear themselves away from the at. tractions afforded by the cinemas, racing, and dirt-tracks. In South Africa all those forms of amuse- ment were equally available, and added to them one had opportun- ities of excellent shooting, both of big and small game. It might be true that few mil- lionaires had made their money out of farming, Lord Athlone said, but he had met men who, af- ter starting with the proverbial half-crown and a wage of $10 a month as learners under an ex- perienced farmer had made for themselves and their families comfortable homes and had lived to a great age, thanks to the heal- thy lives they had been compelled to lead. The present. moment was not a propitious one for any- one'to embark on new undertak- ings but when the crisis was over he e¢onld recommend this form of healthy outdoor exercise to his young friends. He had been told that the idea of having to learn Afrikaans was a great stumbling block to many. cept in out-of- the-way places in the back-veld the Dutch South Africa spoke English extremely well, and the young people realized the impor- tance of knowing the English lan- guage as well as 'Afrikaans. Nor was Afrikaans a difficult language to learn. A subject on which there was a great divergence of opinion was the native problem. 'It was a vit. al question for South Africa and one that must be earnestly consid- by all serious-minded men | superior women, use in allowing the whole sub- ject to slide till circumstances forced it on the publie conscience, It most certainly résted with the and Christian race to give the native peoples a lead to show them where and how they could best progress for the henefit of South Africa as well as of | themselves. Canada Loses As Japan Gains Market For Shoes in Africa Johannesburg, South Africa, (By The Canadian Press) June 10.--Under the heading "Japan comes to the Platteland," the Rand Daily Mail recently pub- lished the following editorial: "Japanese rubber shoes, it is stated, can be sold at such a price in South Afriea that no other country can compete. Incidental- ly, the veldschoen Industry has re- ceived a severe blow. The rea- son lies in the fact that working costs in Japan are extremely low, wages amounting tg something like $1.50 a week. "Canada in particular, has been hit, In 1929 she sent cheap foot. wear to this country worth $420,- 000. This trade is now doomed; shipments have already been stop- ped. Canada, of course, maintains a white standard of living, to which South Africa pays a great deal of lip-service while taking the fullest possible advantage of the sweated wages paid elsewhere, "Then there is the veldschoen indutry. South Africa manufac tured 633,085 pairs in 1928-29, and they wepe valued at $1,041,- 500. Today the business is in a pearilous state. Japanese shoes have already reached the back- veld and are replacing the local article. "But the Union Government has concluded a trade agreement with Japan, that will enable the Japanese still further to exploit this country and damage its in. dustries. The Union is also striving to build up an export trade with Canada while depriv- ing that Dominion of a market which it ralready possesses. It is a curious kind of fiscal policy to take to Ottawa." ISLANDS ATTRACT CITY GANGSTERS St. Pierre and Miquelon At- tractive for Liquor Smuggling / Portland, Me. -- Gangsters from large cities attracted by opportuni- ties for smuggling liquor from the French islands of Miquelon and St. Pierre, are beginning to establish headquarters in Maine, Rev.

Maine, with its 2,500 miles of rug- ged coast, constituted a paradise for bootleggérs who have turned to the French Islands as a source of liquor since the Canadian Government rohibited export to the United tates, Mr. Smith asserted.
