land while using Black Silk stove pol
ish and that similar accident had
occurred in Washington. That stove
polish, he said, consists chiefly of
gasoline and is highluy dangerous.
The use of cloth or brush in polish

electricity that ignites the polish. A
serious burst of flame may result from
a small quantity of the polish and that
point was Illustrated by the speaker.

SMUGGLING IS PROBLEM
ON FLORIDA COAST

WASHINGTON, March g3.--(U.
P.)-The twentieth century orzaniza-
ton of modern smugglers-with air.
planes, speed boats and racing auto
mobiles-make up the minority of the
vast army engaged In transporting
liquor and aliens from foreign possess
sions to the Florida coast.
This class, working in conjunction
with fishermen, having supernation-
al knowledge of the Florida coast line
and with personal animosity toward
the eighteenth amendment. will con-
tinue to defy government efforts to
thwart the booze smuggling traffic i'll

nous patrol system is set up agains.
them, high government officials be-
lieve.
The proposed schemes for breaking
up this huge conspiracy now being
considered by officials include:
Establishment of personal sec
ret service system through which au-
thorities might obtain tips" on major
smuggling operations.
2-Organization, if possible of an
airplane, patrol boat and automobile
patrol, to which tho more obvious
rat holes along the coast.
3--Modified appeals to foreign Gov
ernments to require more strict en-
, forcement of their customs invoice
| systems.
"But there are objections to all
| these proposed schemes--objection
| that now seem insurmountable,' a
government official in charge of this
work told the United Press. IF we
could obtain the sympathy of citizens
in most of these South Atlantic coast
towns so that they would give us re-
ports Of smuggling operations, We
would have a good chance to stifle
the traffic.
| Strange to say, this seems to be the
only effectual manner in which We
can hope to enforce our law.
| "Organization of a big patrol sys
tenn which would be necessary would
cost too much money. Congress.
would never consent to huge appro

means of organizing this service with

our chances of enforcement will b.
materially increased

Cuban governments for stricter en-

can hardly hope, however. for com

1--WE should like TO fight these
smugglers with their own weapons
but it is too costly. They have none,
to finance their operations while the
government of the United States i;
not in a position where it can appro.
