NEW PLAN FORMED
TO CUT SMUGGLING
Lowman Announces Policy of
Cooperation With Mexican
Authorities.
BY the Associated Press.


Ell PASO, Tex, April IA new
plan of cooperation between Mexico
and the United States to stop snug
Cling across the international boundary
in the Ell Paso territory was announced
here today by Seymour Lowman, Assis-
tant Secretary of the Treasury, in
charge Of customs.
Javier Larrea, representative of the
Treasury Department of Mexico, con-
ferred with Lowman relative to details
of the new plan and confirmed his
statements.
The Mexican Government, he said,
would place soldiers at strategic points
to assist in stopping smuggling.
This Is being DONE" said Senior Lar
rea, "for the good of the Mexican peo-
pie and to further amicable relations
between Mexico and the United States. !"
Closing Border Resorts.
Mr.. Lowman said the Mexican Gov
eminent had taken steps to close GER
tain notorious "hole-in-the- wall" re-
sorts along the boundary in co-epera-
ton with the American Government.
One such place, a resort opposite Fa-
benS. Tex, was closed by Mexican au-
thorities yesterday.
Ramon Muela, chief OF the Juarez
Judicial Police, accompanied by two
carloads Of Mexican and American Of
ficers, visited the establishment yester-
day and issued orders it was not to
reopen.
/ The resort is situated just across the
boundary N Mexico, opposite Fabens
and about 80 miles from Fl Pase, only
an irrigation ditch separating American
from Mexican territory at that point.
Recently a number of automobile &C.
cidentS, in which at least one man was
killed, have occurred on highways
among parties returning from the re-
sort, and decision to remove the attrac-
ton resulted.
Five Full Time Ports.
Mr.. Lowman denied emphatically the
American Government contemplated
any general placing of ports between
the United States and Mexico on q "a
hour basis. He said five ports along
the lower Texas boundary-Brownsville,
Hidalgo, Eagle Pass, Laredo and Del
Rio-wou1d be allowed to remain open
"a hours daily ain the interest of pub
lie necessity and convenience" but con-
ditions affecting these places did not
affect any others along the boundary
from Texas to Lower California.
Automobile traffic has increased enor-
mously in the vicinity of these five
ports, Mr.. Lowlnan said, and bridge
conditions necessitate extending the
hours.
He denied that . desire to keep
parties of tourists from celebrating url-
til late hours moved the American au-
therities to refuse 24-hour openings to
other cities.

The Once Over
HOW TO DRAW BACK OFFICE
CUSTOMERS


Stock market brokers are complaining Of unprece-
denied dizziness. 1t Is 50 quiet In their offices that
you can hear a stock drop. Office managers are
keeping themselves awake by playing Backgammon,
customers men are killing time by drawing funny
faces on desk blotters, and the telephone operators
are wishing somebody would call UP. If only by mis-
take.
The investing public Is still in the cyclone cellar,
the man who used to take tips from anybody is now
going around with his ears marked "Non-refillahle."
and the confirmed Tape Worm who ~frequents the Of
fee in good times and bad may now be found snoring
beside the tape basket merely because it is so quiet
there.
In the meantime the broker does nothing to lure
back the customers. He doesn't seem to have any
shovmanship.
First OF all he should comprehend that he needs
new furnishings. The sleeping accommodations are
terrible. The brokerage offices are using the same
furniture today that they used in the bull market
when the customers wanted to keep awake. What
the customer wants when he visits the office these
days is q good sleep, and it can't be obtained In
straight-backed chairs.
ss
Secondly, the brokers should do something to divert
the customers in their conscious moments.
What can a patron do under present conditions II
he Graves diversion? Nothing. except listen to the
deadly drone Of a lifeless ticker or crack Jokes with the
office statistician.
Why shouldn't a brokerage office offer amusement
during dull times? How about using some Of the office
space for a Tom Thumb golf course? There's ample
room for at least three or four holes in most any
office, and under present conditions there is time for
a foursome between quotations.
Why not something in the line Of music7 A player
piano might do. but a smart orchestra with a crooner
grooming You're Driving Me Crazy" would draw pros
poets and hold them.
Then there is the matter Of refreshments. The
brokerage office does absolutely nothing TO satisfy the
inner man. Does anybody doubt that interest in the
market would be restored If the brokers put in a free
lunch and near beer counter?
Make the brokerage office attractive. Make II cosy
and comfortable. DO something to draw the trade.
Just because the stock market is dull Is no reason
for letting the office take on the atmosphere OF a
morgue. 1t is a time for action. The least the most
conservative houses could DO would be to put in bridge
tables.
