baggage. Recently there has been con-
troversy whether liquor had been
brought in through this procedure.
Senators and Representatives, AS
sistant Secretary Lowman said today,
frequently write the Treasury asking
freedom of the port on returning from
a trip abroad and when they say that
the trim is an official mission the Treas
ury has no recourse under the law than
to grant the request. But unless a
member of Congress says he is on an
official mission the freedom of the port
cannot be granted.
When a number of members of Con-
gress recently went to Panama several
of them asked for freedom of the port,
I,owrnan said, saying that they were
on an official mission. AS the Treasury
had no evidence that they were on
an official mission the freedom could
not be granted, but they were extended
the courtesy of the port" and their
baggage was expedited. Representative
Morgan of Ohio was one of the number
who cabled for freedom of the port
and when it was not granted demand
ed the privilege on his arrival saying
IT am not familiar with the facts
brought to the attention of the Fed
eral grand jury in New York with rel
erence to free entry" LoWman SAID.
''Foreign Ambassadors, naval, military
and other attaches of embassies COM
ing into this country, and American
diplomats, are accorded free entry.
Contraband Ban Not Lifted.
"The regulations provide that high
officials of the Government and such
distinguished visitors as the State De-
partment may designate are entitled to
free entry. 1t has been the policy OF
the Bureau of Customs to accept the
statements of both Senators and Rep
resentatives to the effect that they have
been abroad on Government business
when they make application for free
entry. Free entry relieves persons from
paying customs duties and examination
of their baggage.
Possibly there have been some abuses
of the privilege. Free entry does not
legalize the bringing into the country
of contraband such as liquor and mar
cotics."
FREE ENTRY PRACTICE HIT.

corded Officials.

Nobel Awards Growing
Into Small Fortunes

Nobel prizes are growing so rapidly
in amount from year TO year that be-
fore long recipient may literally be
able TO ''rest on his hOnors." The
prizes TO be awarded in 1929 will each
amount TO $46,192. according to a re-
port issued by auditors of the Nobel
foundation, while those for 1923 were
only S4l,937 apiece. The proceeds from
the main fund are calculated at S342,-
100 per annum ar the present time,
one-tenth of that amount being COM
pounded with the principal. The re-
nainder of the fund is placed at the
disposal of the prize committee, one
quarter of the amount being allowed
for general expenses and the balance
for prizes. This gives new meaning
TO the old saw. 1.-The higher the
branch, the sweeter the cherries" and
those who are disappointed in the
prize awards one year may content
themselves with the thought that they
may receive a very substantial reward
for their patience.

Acidity

The common cause of digestive diff
culties is excess acid. Soda cannot
alter this condition, and it burns the
stomach. Something that will neu-
tralize the acidity is the sensible
thing to take. That is why physicians
tell the public to use Phillips Milk of
Magnesia.
One spoonful of this delightful prep
aration can neutralize many times its
volume in acid. 1t acts instantly; re-
lief is quick, and very apparent. All
gas is >dispelled; all sourness is soon
gone; the whole system is sweetened.

of bulkhead across the King street

SILVER SPRING, Nd, August q
Concrete evidence that 1t is poor judy
ment to let the spirit Of competition
get the best of you when driving along
the Montgomery County roads at night
was produced last night by Montgomery
County Policeman Joseph c. Nolts Of
the northern district station here.
Officer Nolte started to go alongside
of car last night, but the driver
thought 1t was some one who wanted to
show a little speed. So they went neck
and neck down long grade and
around turns on the Colesville road be-
tween White Oak and Burnt Mills.
There the chase stopped. and finally
ended at the police station, when Nolte
