Subterranean Line From House

FABULOUS PRICES PAID

BAsLE. July 22.-Hunger is the mother
of inventions. German hunger invented
n great smuggling device. which did a
booming business until discovered by
customs officers. Some Germans. living
in Baden, near the Swiss frontier, built
/ pipe line across the frontier 1t ended
in a house rented TO German family
What this family consumed in the line
of food, clothing. shoes. soap and other
necessaries was really astounding. How
ever. these people bought things in the
open market. which is still possible in
Switzerland. paid cash. never grumhled
no matter how high the price and no
questions were asked
One day last week two men were seen
digging up the ground near the frontier.
Customs officials became suspicious and
nosing around soon made valuable dis
covery. The two men were engaged in
repairing the pipe line which had been
used for smuggling. The machinery had
become clogsed and an opening had to
be made to get at the seat OF trouble.
The officials saw an opening had been
made into a spacious tunnel built OF
concrete. Inside the pipe were long
wires. These wires were wound around
spools at the end stations and could
DO pulled either way. Goods, such as
meat. cheese, hams, shoes, clothing, SC.
were tied to the wire and pulled across
the border through the subterranean
channel
1t seems the subterranean smuggling
trade was to be increase considerably
Houses facing the road nearest the Ger
man frontier fetched fabulous prices. A
widow who owned a house which she
would not sell. was offered 5000 francs
for the use of the cellar only. No doubt
German smugglers were TO build an
other pipe line from that cellar.
The Swiss Government is now after
the smug2lers. The fourishing bust
ness" is killed. The Government in
tends to clear the whole street along
the frontier. Most OF the occupants of
these houses are Germans who came to
Switzerland after the war began. AL
most all OF them are engaged in SNUG
Cling.

They had almost forgotten that the
land was not their very own. They
had no expectation that the real owner
would return to claim the harvest: on
the other hand they were looking envi-
ously at the smiling fields further on.
Suddenly they had to quit the soil
and its yield. When the order for the
retreat was given and discipline wac

At the same time insight into the
homes and social conditions of the
classes among which the work of police
women and patrols Is most likely to
fall is given by practical work such as
visiting, interviewing and visits to in
situations.
Bristol is an ideal city for such prac-
teal work, and the Bristol civic League
gives every help and facility to the po-
licewomen trainees. Patrol committees
may send patrol leaders or patrols for
special trainings in short course.

At the present time twenty non.Com-

GREED CAUSES DOWNFALL

BASEL. July ga German professor,
several years. recently received a call
from a German university. lie accepted
the position and returned to the land of
his birth. His wife stayed behind to
arrange for shipment of the furniture
and household goods. Also. the frau
professor was eager to take along some
good things TO eat which she still could
get in the land OF comparative plenty,
but which were only a memory in the
kaisers domain.
So the frau professor pried open the
rear wall of her piano and filed the
interior with a number of hams and
sides of bacon. Then she took the
covering of her sofa, lifted one of the
springs and placed some more hams,
some more bacon and some other good
things inside. lacking the covering on
again after the interior was loaded
After notifying the express company
and the customs authorities, the woman
left for Davos. where sbe tried to forget
the pangs of her guilty conscience.
Soon the servant girl. who had been
left in charge OF the house, notified the
frau professor that the customs official
had been there and found everything
o. X. co..
When the frau professor returned to
her house and found how easy the GUS
toms officials had been duped, greed
drowned the voice OF preCaution. If
those men in uniform could not find ten
hams, they would no more find twenty
hams, the frau professor said TO her
self. So she opened the rear wall of the
piano once more. unmindful Of the fact
that the officers had put seals on the
boards that were liable to be pried off
Thus the lady stored away some more
food in the interior of her bulky pieces
OF furniture.
When the goods reached the frontier
It was discovered that the seals had
been broken, An investigation of the
piano and other pieces revealed the
presence OF large store OF provisions.
The frau professor lost all her tooth
some wares and had to pay a fine Of
more than $1,000. Finally she was ar
rested. and will have to stand trial for
violating Government seals.

sums the situation up very neatly:

characteristics OF their race, they
