Finally the last article was taken out,
and apparently nothing remained un-
explored. However traditions In the
Customs Service are to the effect that
many an innocent-loOking trunk has
false bottom. and il was upon this
last and tinne-honOTed theory that the
agents and inspectors next set TO work
They tapped the trunk on the bottom,
both inside and out. but the sound was a
solid one. and hope was giving out
when suddenly one OF the experts dis
covered a little opening. The false bot
tom was discovered. 1t was quickly
removed. and the searchers saw their
