Lands on spot Indicated BY
Circle Of flashlights in
Hands Of Six Men.

El Paso, Textile idea of carrying
liquor into the United States by air
plane probably originated In the City
Of Hermosillo, in Mexico. There one
day wealthy American met young
Mexican aviator who owned a very
fine plane. The Mexican was active,
energetic. and full Of pep and desire
for adventure. With him II was not
matter Of violating any law, but
rather OF experiencing the excitement
Of running into danger. With the
American It was plain case Of max
ing money.
They discussed the pros and cons for
q long time, with the result that the
Mexican agreed to establish himself
near the American border and place
himself under orders from the Ameri-
can.
The American. visited one Of the
largest cities Of the West and had
no trouble In getting orders for
liquor. A day and hour were fixed
when the plane should deliver the
goods, and the landing place, some dis
lance from the city, was decided on.
The American then returned to the
border and bought the liquor. causing
it to be transported to the hangar.
The aviator had made one expert
mental trip to learn the topography
Of the country, and was ready TO take
on his cargo.

liquor, but instead he met prominent

mobiles, who slowed their respective
shares into their cars. paid the money
and drove away. The landing place
was over ten miles from the city for
which the drivers were bound. The
aviator then took on a supply Of gaso-
line, which had been left for him, and

Question Of Which Arm a Man Should

Paris. Whether a man should offer
his right or left arm to woman is

Andrew de Fouquieres, the accepted
arbiter Of social customs, has not
settled thef question.
He said, Always the right arm III
DOORS" custom surviving from the
days when all gentlemen carried
swords and wanted to be quick on
the draw. Outdoors, he said, no man
ever offers his arm to a woman "ex-
cept in case of danger" which the
newspapers hold is the normal con-
dition in Paris streets.
Therefore regardless of good form,
those debating the matter generally
agree that a man should take hold of
woman's right arm with his left
hand, instead of offering his right arm,
because the women, consulted said
they intended continuing to carry their
purses, parasols, packages, ETC., In
their left hands. And the men insisted
