1--WE still have the problem OF
rum running to contend with on
the Atlantic seabOard. Alcohol
is still being brought iii, and We
must maintain q watch over
rum row.
IF smuggling Of commodities
continues to grow, Of course we
shall have to take steps to curb
It. Our only hope Is that be-
cause of the bulk Of tho COM
mOditles and the comparatively
small profit as compared with
alcohol or narcotics that the
bOOtleggers will not find the
business profitable. But we DO
know that 1t Is being carried
on"
The Coast Guard Is cooperating
with the Customs Service in at
tempting to curb this form OF
smuggling, since both organiza.
lions work under the direction OF
the Treasury Department.
Coordination Plan
Coordination between these two
of the service is being
worked out, and all reports OF
smuggling are sent to both serv.
ices so that a concerted plan OF
action may be effected.
While admitting the current
smuggling of foodstuffS over the
Canadian border has struck a
blow to the business of some
traders and storekeeperS on the
American side, officials Of the
Bureau of Customs characterize
the present attempt to defeat the
customs laws as petty"
One of the chief difficulties IN
enforcing the customs laws along
the 3,OOO-mile stretch from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coasts
officials pointed out, is the lack
of personnel. There are about
100 customs posts along the vast
border, spokesman for the Bureau
of Customs said, and it is physi
cally impossible to police every
section where smugglers might
possibly operate.
Most of the contraband which,
according to Bureau Of Customs,
includes dairy products, meats,
wool, live stock, wheat and vege'
tables, is being brought into this
country in private trucks.

Test Yourself.


HAS your interest in yourself In
creased? If so, you have begun
to investigate yourself. You will, in
all probability. find ways in which
you may stabilize yourself in your
world.
/. What are your habits? Make q
list Of your eating, drinking, walking,
sleeping, working, reading habits.
These are the big ones. Study them
carefully, and you will discover that
second nature" which men have
talked about for the last 100 years.
You might even want to exchange
some Of your old habits for new and
better ones. ANY change is likely to
be an improvement.
2. Would you like to be different
from other people? If so, for what
reason? These companion questions
take you into the very heart of psy-
chology. For it is the difference
among individuals that create the
problems Of psychology. A mere recog-
milton Of these differences helps you
to get along better with your fellows.
Somehow, it creates more tolerance on
your part, and as result, you will
be better liked by your acquaintance.
3. Do 20 learn something new

Forrest

THIS surname, which Is and has
been borne by so many distin-
guished Americans, originated from
one of two sources, a resident in q
forest or near one, or from the place
names Of Forest, which are fire.
quently found In many counties In
England. The name of Forest is par
ticulariy well represented as local
names In the counties Of Durham and
Brecon. The name Is also found as
place and surnames in Scotland, but
Of later date than those in England.
The coat Of arms here displayed is
accredited to FORESTS or Forests Of
ComieSton, Scotland. It was borne
by Edwin Forrest of Philadelphia in
1906. The blazonry is as follows:
Argent, three oak leaves issuing out
of the ground vert. Crest: An oak
tree proper. Motto: 'Vivient dunn
virent." This coat Of arms bears out
the theory that the name originated
through residence Of some ancient
ancestor in a wooded place. The
name Forester is derived from the
occupation of superintendent Of the
forests.
There are several distinct branches
of this family in America, conse-
quently those bearing this name do
not all use the coat of arms given.
