a Michigan boulevard building
here today and routed club mem

Windows on the boulevard were
shattered for four blocks, leaving
displays Of jewelry, furs and

The explosions are believed to
have occurred in a Photographic

an investigation was begun to
find if the odor was caused by

and a policeman who is caught
in the rain one day can wear the
other pair the next day, with q
crease that will do the Nations S
Capital credit in the eyes of
visitors.
Major Pratt said he hopes a
highly gifted tailor secures the
contract for the new uniforms, as
his observation of most civilian
summer suits does not convince
him that they keep a snappy ap-
pearance for very long. The new
uniforms are to weigh IL ounces
to the yard.
Pratt said the measurements
of all members of the force are
kept on file at headquarters and
can be sent out of town if q
local tailor does not land the
contract.
Must Sweat Off Fat
Members of the force are not
supposed to increase in girth, he
said. No allowance is made for
such phenomenon, and the
measurements taken originally are
kept on file for a long period.
"It should be easy for those
who have taken on a few pounds
to come down to the measure
mentS of the summer uniforms -
he concluded. Summer time is
a good time to swelter it off"

the convenience of travellers.
The border patrol plan, recon.
mended to Congress by President
Hoover, has been virtually COM
pleted by Treasury experts after
consultation with the immigra-
tlon, customs, agriculture bureaus
and the coast guard.
While the major purpose of the
bill-unifying all Government en-.
torcement agents along the bor-
derS into one border patrol army
under the Coast Guard-haS
been well-known, the decision to
establish new ports of entry and
limit roads which may be used
was decided upon only after care
ful investigation.
Hampers Tourists
Already some members of Con-
greSS living near the border have
served notice that they will
oppose any scheme to halt the
rum traffic which involves incon-
venience to the hundreds of
thousands of tourists crossing
the border each year.
To satisfy the various depart
ments, it is proposed to have GUS
toms, immigration and agricul-
ture agents at the ports of entry
as specialists for their own de-
partments. The rowing border
patrolmen would enforce all anti
smuggling and quarantine laws.
