e Stars Used By
Border Patrol
Service

Like the Canadian Northwest
Mounted Police the Pennsylvania
Constabulary and the old Texas,
Rangers, the United States I'm
migration Service is noted for its
ability to "get it's man," yet not
even the Canadian Northwest Of
ficers work under so heavy
burden of difficulties.
Particularly on the Mexican
border is this the case, for down
here the mileage Of paved roads
is a minimum; the heat is often in
tense; there is always danger of
stirring up international diff
cuties through clashes with the
Mexicans, and there are not only
smuggled Cinnamon and and other
aliens to be considered, but the
boot-legger and the dope smuggler
often combine the smuggling of
humans with their regular profess
sion of bringing in dope and
| liquor.
This condition makes the choice
of the u. S. Immigration Service in
pu1 chasing a fleet Of twenty
eight Star cars for use of the
Border c;trol" the highest POS
sible tribute that can be paid to
any automobile. These cars are
being operated out of the Patrol
headquarters at Nogales, and the
Star fleet has zone of operations
that extends for many hundreds
of miles east and west of this
point. a
The choice of the Star for this
fleet on the Mexican border natu-
rally was mighty pleasing to off
cials Of the Star car organization,
because of the tribute to Star
sturdiness and reliability. Accord
ing to officials of the Star COM
pany the duties of these Border
Patrol officers carries them over
seldom travelled roads and rough
country where speed and extreme
reliability and power are neces-
sity. The fact that the Star

vice was made only after the Star
had won recognion in an open,
competitive demonstration of
power, speed and flexibility before
New York city officials. For four
hours the official tester drove the
Star car through the streets Of
greater New York in one of the
most strenuous tests to, which an
automobile was ever subjected.
It was due to the wonderful
showing of the Star in this sup
RENE test by the New York police
that the order was placed for
this large fleet by the country's
metropolis-one of the largess
ever placer by a municipality in
the history of the automobile in
dustry. E. L. JUillerat of the
local Star agency says that the
Stars now being used ly the Ini~
Service Border Patrol,
were chosen only after series Of
tests even more severe than those

cars are standing UP well under
this severe usage, they declare
speaks volumes for the quality OF
their product.
The power Of the Red Seal
Continental motor enables the
Border Patrolman to climb the
steepest grades without difficulty
and to pull through deep sand over
long stretches of desert country,
where the heat is intense. 1t is
a recognized fact that Star cars
60 not overhead under the most
adverse conditions, and this, ac-
cording to officials of the Star
car organization, had much to do
with the Governments choice of
the Star for this strenuous SER
vice.
This story of Stars adoption by
the Governments Border Patrol
comes almost coincident with an

sixty-one Star cars by the New

Progress in a Soviet Factory

Overcoming Obstacles
Ny disappointment however, changed 20 almost
Acredulous surprise after talking to the workers.
They had a full realization Of how bad their equip
ment and of the need for new, modern machin-
cry, but they also knew Of the great progress that
had been made, even with this old machinery, since
the revolution. This they explained to IN detail
The machine shop they said. (and we later found
out for OurseveS) was mot exception the machin-
cry In all of the departments of the factory had
likewise been imported Is or more years ago. Dur
ing the period Of the the capitalist owners had
run the factories to their utmost capacity with
minimum OF shutdowns for eepairs. In the period
of revolution and civil war practically no repairs
were made and repair parts tor this imported
machinery available because of the capitalist
blockade. Whole departments stood idle, In many
cases with the windows broken the roofs leaking,
and the machinery not adequately protected. The
major attention Of the country directed towards
the defense of the revolution from its internal and
external enemies.
After finally defeating the counterrevoluton in
1921 they set about task of rehabilftating the
industries Repairs Of both buildings and equipment
were undertaken on as large q scale as the avail
able capital would permit. Workers who had left
the Industrial centers in search of food had been
drawn into the army, were gradually drawn back
into the industries. The most effective way Of show
ing the decline that took place Immediately after
the revolution and the rapid progress that has taken
place since 1921 is to quote the following figures
on the Nikolsky factories:

workers? These the natural questions that
should arise and their answers show the superior

ROOSEVELT CHARGE
Declares CoIoneI's Attack on

BY the Associated Press

| NEW YORK. November 3.-With
challenge that evidence be produced
to substantiate charges of vice In th'
county in which New York's Capito

back at Col Theodore Roosevelt in g
statement published today. The gov

In speeches before the Republican
State convention at Rochester and ir
this city Col Roosevelt attacked Tam
many as corrupt and blamed Tam

in Albany.
"Col. Roosevelt has little interest In
the welfare OF the State of New York
when at the height of campaign for
constitutional amendments he uses VI
the time of the public to make per

ernor's reply.
One Of the amendments the governor
referred to would provide for the cleo
ton of governors in presidential! years
a measure fostered by the Republicans
and similar to one recently defeatec
in New Jersey.
Gov. Smith said that Col. Roosevelt
.'is entirely without understanding OF
the States fiscal system.
Roosevelt's charges that police raios
on Tammany Hall clubhouses had re,
vealed open gambling were admi',e.
by the governor. who met them with
a counter charge that similar raids
had been made on Republican c'uo'
houses, In one of which police en-
countered gunmen with police reeords
who were in the employ OF the he
