vehicles that have never left the
country.
"It must be a source of great incon-
venience and annoyance to people traV-
cling the highways of the United States
to be suddenly stopped and held up By
some man on the roadside. This has
many times led to serious shootings.
With a border patrol at the border this
difficult situation will be remedied.
THE concentration OF attention on
the border also will have the result OF
eliminating the evils which have arisen
out of the attempts to detect smuggling
on interior roads.
Examination of persons and property
at the designated border crossings can
be careful, thorough and certain. In
the very nature of things the accom-
plishment of this end by scattered In
terror patrols is almost an Impossible
task, and it Is not surprising that
errors and misjudgments of these Off
GERS have occasionally had unfortunate
consequences and that there have been
many protests against the working OF
such a difficult and uncertain method
of regulating entry into the country.
1.-The men of the border patrol are
loyal public servants. They are in con-
slant danger at the hands of the enc
mics of law and order, as well as from
exposure 10 Ine elements On laIlu dllu
sea. The mortality among them Is
high. even for police officers.
Some are failures, as is to be ex-
pected when the human element Is
involved.
1.-The briber. the tenpter. is ever on
their track, and the fact that but Few
fall is most commendable.
Travel over the borders is increasing
all the time.
Good roads and the automobile &C
count for this, no doubt.
"It is estimated that 25,000,000 people
and 1000, 900 automobiles will cross the
borders this year.
Some attribute this enormous trave
to the supposed American thirst fol
booze.
However, to buy booze in Canada you
have to have permit to purchase, anc
the records show that less than three
out of every 100 American visitors quail
ify as buyers.
Canada Has Many Lures.
1.-THE good roads, the fine hospitality
of the Canadians, the beautiful scenery
and the quaint foreign atmosphere OF
parts of Canada will always lure the
traveller to the land Of the Lady Of the
Shows.
"In proportion to population, more
Canadian cars enter the United States

ment results from efforts to Smuggle
things into the country.
These are not the cases that interest
me much. 1t is disagreeable business
for the customs, because the unlucky
person puts up a big howl when told
that wearing fine fur coat on the
boat does not make it exempt from
duty, even when an old American
dealers label has been Sewed onto a
new foreign garment.
1T is almost uncanny the way Gus
toms inspectors are able to spot a
passenger who is trying to put over o
job of smuggling. They seem to know
just which end of a fur collar to rip
open to find diamonds that have been
sewed in for safe keeping.
Most travellers are honest, but all
have to submit to examination as
preventative measure for the protection
of American labor and industry.
THE real thrills of the service come
in dealing with snugglers for profit.
They often battle some Of the keen
est minds to be found in the Govern
ment service.
The customs agents usually get their
man. They never let up until they do.
SmuggIers Use Three Methods.
"Smugglers for profit use three meth
DDS in their work-first, they trust to
Lady Luck and try to get by the guards;
second, they bride some Government
employee to let them through; third,
they use intimidation and force, even
sometimes resorting to shooting.
80 lie idea of the size of the task
of guarding our borders can be seen by
recalling the fact that, exclusive of the
Great Lakes, the distance to be covered
is more than $500 miles. To be exact,
it is 1880 miles along the Canadian
border and 1877 miles along the Mexi-
can border
ON the land borders the Department
of Labor and the Public Health Service,
as well as the Department Of Agricul-
ture, are also involved
THE immigration Service of the De-
partment of Labor Is concerned in keep
ing cut aliens who attempt unlawfully
to enter the country.
Bringing in aliens is a thriving
branch OF the smugglers' business.
Many a foreigner who has safely
landed in America after having paid a
handsome fee to some smuggler for
helping him over the line has later
been confronted by an immigration in
spector and deported back to his old
home, sad but wiser man.
Some of them do not get off as
easily as that, for there are many well
authenticated cases where the SNUG
glers have deliberately thrown some of
these unfortunate people into the Great
Lakes or the waters off Florida to
drown when they have been too closely
pursued by a Government boat.
THE Public Health Service is con-
cerned with keeping out disease, and
often establishes a quarantine at some
point along our border. Likewise the
Department of Agriculture guarantees
against diseases of domestic animals or
plant life.

President Hoover in his last annual
message to Congress recommended that
the border patrols Of all these various
services be consolidated into a single
force in the interest of efficiency in
| protecting our borders and preventing
unlawful entry Of persons and mer-
chandise.
MANY wild and misleading stories
were circulated as to what might result
from such a force. The border was
pictured as bristling with cannon and
other warlike equipment. Peaceful re-
! lations with our Northern neighpor were
to be sacrificed.
Free intercourse for social and bust
ness reasons were to be made impossible.
such is not the plan at all.
Representative Hudson introduced
the bill for a unified border patrol.
Hearings were had before commit
tee of Congress, and the bill was finally
passed by the Lower House, and Is now
pending in the Senate.
THE present patrols are functioning
as we'll as can be expected, but the pro-
posed bill would undoubtedly be much
more effective. The proposal Is to move
the patrol right up to the border, and
all persons would be required to enter
and leave the country at regular sta
tons on the border.
This should prove a convenience to
the travelling public by giving service
at the actual point Of entry.
To-day q man comes along the high
way which he Is accustomed to travel
from Canada, we will say. He comes
into the United States. There Is no
customs station. There is no ONCE at
the border. He then has to make a
wide detour perhaps and report to some
customs station way inland. The patrol
now operates very often well away from
the border. AS consequence they stop
not only vehicles that have come from
! foreign countries but they also stop

at not more than per cent of our total

INCREASE

An increase of approximately
IL per cent in the number of
motorists purchasing automobiles
on the inStallment plan is shown
by an analysis of the annual re-
ports filed for 1929 by the 4fl
largest automobile financing com
panies in the United States.
The analysis, made by the
American Motorists Association,
shows that during the year there
was a total of 3,441 ,629 automo-
biles financed by the All com
panieS, the total financing in
volved aggregating $1,586,819,550
or an average of $461 per vehicle.
Of the total number of cars
financed, approximately 1916
662 were new cars, the average
financing per car being about
$500. The remainder, 1895, ,967,
were secondhand cars, the aver
age financing per car being eSti-
mated at $305 per vehicle.
The best comparison, showing
an increase in installment pur-
chasing of automobiles, the A.
M. A. survey points out, is gotten
from comparative figures COM
piled from the reports of 325
identical automobile financing
concerns for the last half of 1928
and 1929.
y The reports for the last six
months of 1929 show a total of
1,540,369 automobiles financed by
these 325 concerns, an increase
of 400,490 transactions over the
last six months of 1923. The
1929 period involved "a total
financing of $709.573,318, an in
crease of $162,515,000 over the
six months period of 1923.
