GETTING THEIRS"
Many Women Returning From Shop
ping Visit To Windsor Searched
in Customs Office.

Uncle Sam Is just now collecting
his annual smuggling toll from De-
troit women VINO 90 over to Windsor
tor their Christmas purchases OF silks,
woolens, kid gloves. ETC., and try u
bring them back to this side without
paying the duty. Whole bevies OF
women are chased" into the customs
ofiice at the foot of Woodward-ave.,
on the arrival OF each boat from Wind
sor. and search seldom fails to re-
yea, large quantities OF dutiable goods.
With the forfeiture of the goods, the
smugglers are allowed TO go, being
warned. however. by the officials, 70
make no further attempt to cheat their
good uncle" who really needs the
money. the officers explain.
The wholesale examination OF wo
men Is proving humiliating and en-
barrassirg to the Windsor women
who cross to Detroit to visit or
shop. The officials show no discrim
ination, the Windsor women. whose
faces are well-known tn the customs
officers, being sent In to be searched
with the strangers. Windsor women,
who have been crossing back and
forth for many years complain that
they have been subjected to the ex-
animation process during the past few
weeks.
II Is also reported that a represen-
tative OF the customs ONCE is even
following Detroit women to Windsor.
watching their movements over there
and then coming back to Detroit in
time TO spot them when they make
the return trip. This system was prac.
ticed by q Detroit Official a few years
ago.. His spying was not tolerated
very long, however, the police Of
Windsor having chased him back
across the river. Similar treatment
Is threatened the spy who is now said
tn be abroad.
On the Windsor side the customs
authorities are also active, but the
officials at the dock exercise the great
est care in picking out supposed
smugglers. the Canadian law giving
the public much protection under such
circumstances.
Unusual efforts are also being made
by the postoflce officials In Windsor
for the purpose Of preventing goods
purchased in Detroit and mailed in
Windsor from going through the Can
adian mails without duty thereon be-
ing paid. Every package lacking a
customs stamp Is being opened and
held, pending the payment Of the duty.

he does not show the effects of his
