IMPRISONED FOR SMUGGLING

To defraud the government of the
United States of it's customs coming
here from the old world has been the
darling wish of many women ever
since Americans have been able to In
dulge in the luxury OF an ocean voy-
age. Miss Multimillionaire, secure In
her social position, did not like to be
held up on the dock and made to pay
large sums for being caught trying to
swindle the government. But when
she is caught finally she chafes under
her treatment. but society stands by
her and that encourages others to fol-
low her example.
To remove this prop from the fash
ionable woman the authorities have
decided to Jail those caught In de-
frauding Uncle Sam Of his dues. This
penalty, it ia thought, will prevent rep
utable women from engaging IN the
business.

to witness developments of great
importance on that range. More
money will be expended to develop
new mines on the Vermilion in the
next few years than ever BEFORE"
