viii enter the country free Of duty,
but they are not to be taken into
the interior OF the Republic.
Articles that r taken to the in
terror Of the Republic must pay the
regular duties. Many border cities
are undeveloped because OF the high
price occasioned by the heavy du-
ties placed on articles. People Of

greatly develop. To the American
cities. those located on the north
ern banks Of the Rio Grande, the
free zone means more trade with
their sister towns, more stock turn
over, greater facilities for trade and
consequent prosperity.
How The Zone Works
In the days when Pofirio Diaz
first became president and dictator
OF Mexico, "El Caudillo." tIhe
LEADER as he was known, estab-
lished q free zone from BaEdad.
the extinct border city on the
mouth Of the historic Rio Grande.
to Tiajuana and Ensenada in Low
er California.
During Diaz's regime, goods were
admitted duty free to the Mexican
border cities, armed patrols being
always on duty outside or the free
zone limits to see that no SNUG
Cling took place. A Gordon OF SOL
diers from the Gulf OF Mexico 10
the Pacific ocean was always on
duty. The free zone was abolish
ed. however, due TO the large snnuR-
Cling activities that developed,
mainly due 20 the lack OF commu-
nication facilities. making ID easy
Tor smuggling bands to operate.
New System Adopted
A system has already been work.
ed out, and in case the free zone
system is implanted by the Mexi-
can government. the system will b.
put into effect.
Motorcycle patrols along the
principal highways, mounted armed
patrols. flying sqdadrons OF SOL
diers and a vast flotilla Of airplanes
will be used to curb smugglers.
Radio stations vii be installed in
all Of the border cities, air planes
will be equipped with radios. as will
the motorcycle and mounted pa
trolls. "A strict vigilance win be OBJ
served and with all the modern
means Of communication at its dis
posal, and with an efficient admin
istration the Mexican government
expects no trouble in establishing
and maintaining the free zone
that lei Caudillo" tried unsuccess-
fully to perfect.
a petition for the establishment
OF the free zone will be sent 70
President Pascual Ortiz Rubio next
week and an early reply is expected.

Learned Mathematician
Gets 30-Day Term; Acted

BIZ United PREF
CHICAGO, March 20.-The spec
tacle of a dignifled college professor
going to jail for hiding his wife's
clothes is in prospect here today
after DR.. Joseph Synnerdahl,
mathematics authority, was SEN
fenced to thirty days imprisonment.
Mrs. Synnerdahl, it seems,
brought suit for divorce last De-
cember, charging her husband with
being too busy with his algebra and
other such to pay any attention to
her. She also threatened to leave
him. Whereupon her clothes dis
appeared and she couldn't.
So she had him hailed into court
couple of weeks ago. DR.. Synner-
dahl denied having stolen her
clothes. Mrs. Synnerdahl insisted
he had.
Judge Robert E. Getsel promised
that he would investigate the dis
appearance of the clothes, then
would sentence either hrs. Synner-
dahl or her husband to Jail for
perjury.
Judge Getzel completed his in
vestigation, and without further
comment, sentenced the professor,
we'll known to the mathematics
world, to thirty days In jail
The divorce suit still is pending.
