migration records 57,756 aliens legally
entering the United States from the
Republic Of Mexico during 1928. This
is almost 10000 less than the total for
the preceding year. In the vernacular
of this border country these immigrants
are denominated dry Mexicans-
meaning those who have come across
| international bridges or highways
through immigration channels.
No account is taken of wet" Mexi-
cans or other aliens, thousands of whom
are said to have crossed into the United
States during the last year, and in other
years, illegally. These are called wet"
Mexicans because they have come
through the Rio Grande or over inagi-
nary border lines, burro-back, by SWIM
ming, wading, in rough-hewn boats or
RATS and over perilouS paths.
Fishing in the Rio Grande is best at
night-so is smuggling. When darkness
falls the Mexican fishermen ferry aliens
across by the hundreds.
AT Rio Grande City, Tex, the river
Is shallow. One may wade it.
Once there was mean little burro
on the Mexican side of the river that
had q penchant for racing through the
river to the American side. His owner.
simple farm hand, together with a
few friends, would splash madly after
the animal. Once over the river, the
burro was easily corralled and the owner
led him back, cursing the burro's eccen-
tricity. But the man always went back,
leaving his friends to wiring out their
clothes on the American side.
Cotton growers have been known to
induce Mexicans to come across wet"
from Mexico. Some of these Mexicans
Jared badly at times. On one occasion
President Gales protested that "our ma
tionals have to defile in sad caravans
to foreign lands to be exploited and buff
feted about, finally returning as poor
and as miserable as they were when
they left.
The Europeans meanwhile continue
to flock to Mexico en- route for the
land of the free. American consuis
abroad have succeeded in several in
stances in obtaining the assistance of
local police in breaking up, for a time,
the smuggling and passport-faking
rings.
1t doesn't mean much. The traffic
goes on.
AS long as hundreds of thousands of
aliens are unable to squeeze into the
quota the Mexican traffic will go on.
There doesn't seem to be much, appar-
emily, that can be done about it. Espe-
cially now, when Congress is more in

ton men win tell you.
Suppose the European hasn't the
money to buy forged certificates and
Mexican passports. Then he is directed
by the syndicate's agents to Guaymas,
rendezvous of rich Americans who come
down to Southern Mexican waters for
the sporty deep-sea fishing. Guaymas
Is on the Gulf of California.
Many Cross Deserts.
Now the alien works north, either
overland or by fishing boat. If over
land he must travel through a desert
land, covered with sentinel cacti, over
waterIess mesas. along valleys sprinkled
with lonely ranches.
He may encounter Yaqui Indians, but
If he's poor he may not be- harmed.
Mexico is hospitable place. It's a
hobo'S paradise. The ranchers never
turn away a stranger. He can eat his
I'LL of tortilla, jerked beef, beans. He
can quench his thirst with tequila.
Sometimes you'll find a rather intel
ligent European located in Mexican
hamlet which is so poor it has only a
box car for railroad station.
What is this European, who may be
German or an Italian, doing in such a
bleak place? The general store is run
by Chinese. The eating house is a
'dobe hut run by native women. Well,
the European may be operating a ga
rage, with the skeletons of ancient motor
cars lying about his shack.
There may be only three or four au-
tomobiles operating in the district, but
the European seems to be content He
is very affable to Americans who hap
pen along that way. What is his real
business? Try to find out!
So the alien, bound for the United
States works his way north somehow.
Perhaps the mysterious European that
you inevitably find in even the
smallest Mexican village contributes his

food and road directions.
The weather is always pleasant, cool
at night, sunny during the day. Some

it so pleasant. Sometimes they make

Dangerous to Garry Money.
The bodies of Italians have been
found in the mountains of Sonora.
Other aliens have been spared, but
robbed of everything they had-even
their shoes. The border patrols have
come upon foreigners, rags wrapped
around their swollen feet, shutting
along over the sun-bliStered sand, lost
in a maze of cactus and palo verde.
If the alien can afford it he may take
a train to the American border. The
second-class coaches are cheapest.
There are no seats, but benches, painted
a modernistic red, on each side of the
coach.
He may be somewhat awed by the
sight of Mexican train passengers each

with a pearl handle and elegant gold
inlay. He'll feel at home, however
amid the odors Of Mexican second

Of garlic not unlike the terra claSSa in
Italy.
At Nogales, Mexico, there is q wire
fence. A street runs through this fence
into Nogales, Ariz., and there are GUS
toms guards on duty. The easiest way
to get through is to go to hotel on
the Mexican side for few days.
Then one day the alien can hire a
motor car from a citizen well known
to the watchers at the fence and ride
grandly into the United States. He'll
know he's arrived, because the first
thing he sees is a Woolworth store.
Sideline for Rum SmuggIers.
There is, it must be admitted, a bit
of risk going through this international
gate at Nogales. But the fence doesn't
run very far out into the brush. So
what's to keep the alien from being
led by smuggler across the unfenced
hills at night? 1t has been done, they
say.
The liquor smugglers work overtime
at Nogales. In fact, citizens on the
Arizona side don't bother about going
over to the International Cafe and
bringing back some choice Scotch or
wine. They telephone their orders to
the smugglers and deliveries are

customs authorities declare, do profit

AIR FORCES SLATED
FOR ) MANEUVERS
Join Army and Navy to Test
Strength of Coastal
DefenseS.

Five joint Army-Navy maneuvers, in
which aviation forces will participate
are to be conducted during the first
six months of 1890, according to a
schedule of operations announced by
the War and Navy Departments.
The first Of these maneuvers will
take place at the Panama Canal Zone
from February rs to March 10, with
the battle feet participating as the
naval unit, against the Army forces in
the zone, under command Of Mai.
Gen. Malin Craig.
The season, for which the date has
not been set, will be held in the Philip
pines, with the Asiatic feet as the
naval unit, and Army forces under
command Of Maj. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur.
The third maneuver. in Hawaii, will
involve the naval forces based on
command of Maj. Gen. Fox Conner.
The fourth, in May, 1880, will test the
harbor defenseS of Long Island Sound
and will involve the scouting feet and
Army troops commanded by Maj. Gen.
Preston Brown. The concluding man
euver, In July, 1890, will be an attack
on the harbor defenSes of San Fran
cisco by the battle feet, the Army
forces being under command Of Maj.
The maneuvers will test the existing
defense projects and plans, and are ex-
pected to solve problems presented in
the coordination of air. anti-aircraft
and harbor defense forces of the Army
in the defense against the elements of
an attacking fleet; to improve tactics
and technique of the defense arms;
and to develop efficient communication
and team work among all elements Of
the defending forces.
The exercises vii continue day and
night, actual war conditions being sim
ulated, as far as possible. Posts will be
darkened at night and simulated air
combats viii occur between the two air
forces.
It Is expected that the exercises will
assist greatly III the solution Of many
problems arising in connection with

BYRD AND MANLY
AWARDED MEDALS
Naval Man and Inventor Are
Placed in SmithSonian'S
Hall of Fame.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A man who fathered aviation before
1t was fledgling and another who
has ridden the skies to world fame
have been honored with the Langley
medal for pioneer achievements.
The late Charles M. Manly and
Admiral Richard z. Byrd are placed by
the Smithsonian Institution in its
aviation hall of fame" with Wilbur and
Orville Wright, Glenn Curtiss, Gustave
Eiffel and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
Presentation of the medals will take
place on Admiral Byrd's return next
Summer from Little America, at the
bottom of the world.
The poSthumous award to Manly. to
be delivered to his oldest son, honors
the achievements Of the builder of the
power plant for Langley's famous
aerodrome.
He was associated with Langley, third
Smithsonian secretary, from 1898 to
1905, and in 1902 evolved the engine
used In the full-sized plane whose two
plungeS into the Potomac River broke
the heart Of the inventor.
Manlys engine has been charac-
terized as the first modern" aicraft
engine in the world, q power plant
made without a single example on
which to base the design.
Admiral Byrd was granted the medal
for his pioneer flights over the North
and South Poles, his transatlantic
flight and the scientific achievements
that resulted.
The medal itself, 3 inches in diam
eter and of gold, is the design of a
famous French sculptor, M. j. c.

network covering 1876 miles. The
longest Of the foreign air mail routes
operated by American contractors is the
Pan-American Always line from Miami

TAILLESS PLANE FLIES
OVER HIGH MOUNTAIN
Germany's Storch Proves It's
Quality by Successful Drive
Over Tallest Peak.

Germany's revolutionary tailless air
plane, the Storch. has proved that 1t
can fly by crossing the highest point
of the Rohn Mountains, according to a
report to the Department Of Commerce
from Consul r. w. Heingartner, Frank
fort-on-M Main, Germany.
Because of the lower air resistance
claimed for the Storch and the fact
that its supporting and control surfaces
are contained in a single unit, it can
be powered with very small engine,
the cross-mountain plane having been
equipped with an air-cooled 10-horse-
power motor cycle engine.
The plane has total weight of only
500 pounds and a cruising speed Of
about 80 miles per hour. It is steered
by horizontal and vertical stabilizers
attached at the ends of the wings. The
horizontal stabilizers are used for climb
ing and diving and the vertical stabil-
izers cause the plane to bank and turn
when operated singly. Operated to-
gether they serve as a brake. The pro-
peller is Of the pusher type, mounted
in back Of the wing.
