They asked and obtained so per

same time, the police picked UP
a beautiful and charming woman
who had been travelling between
Brussels and Paris with such reg
ularity that their suspicious were
aroused. One of her lovely blue
eyes was glass and it was loaded
with diamonds.
Smuggling was a godsend to
the German town of Aixla-Cha
pelle, with Holland, Belgium and
Luxembourg near by. The war
had ruined the little city, and un'
employment was nearly 100 per
cent. Virtually the whole town
goes in for smuggling. 1t tides
them over. Established citizen
behavior is for one to turn his
back to the wall when he sees
illicit goods moving-as in our
own moonshine districts.
THE CAUSE
Adam Smith gives much space
to smuggling in his wealth Of
Nations" He ascribeS it to sump-
tuary laws and high excuses. to
various causes blocking the free
flow of trade. He defines a
smuggler as follows:
"a person who, though no
doubt highly blamable for viO-
lating the laws of his country,
is frequently incapable of VIC
lating those of national jus
tice, and would have been in
every respect an excellent citi-
zen had not the laws of his
country made that a crime
which Nature never meant to
be So"
Estimates are that smuggling
costs the American Govern
ment about $25O,OO0,0O0 year
in loss of tariff revenues. About
80 per cent of the shipboard
smugglerS, bringing in jewels
and other small-compass luxuries,
are women. Increased watchful-
ness and effective organization Of
the Secret Service is cutting
down this kind of smuggling. but,
not only here, but throughout the
world, large-Scale commodity
smuggling goes on, as it did in
our early colonial days.
Respectable men, perhaps
church wardens and pillars of so
ciety, openly defied the British
navigation acts, tr a ding boldly
with France and Spain. Captain
Kidd engaged in a great deal of
smuggling before plunging int O
piracy, and rich New York Water
Street merchants were his bust,
ness allies.
Airplanes, automobiles, com,
municationS, swift speed boats
help the smugglers, even if there
is less lurid melodrama than in
the old days, on a dark night in
a cove, with the soft swish Of oars
and huddle of cloaked figures in
the brush.

plain why they are a pain-in-the-
neck to themselves and all who
try to do business with them.
Women insist that their brains
are "as good as mems" This Is
probably true. Science has found
as yet no slightest evidence that
the content of the male skull is
superior in either quality or guam
tity to that of the female skull.
Psychologically speaking, the
sexes are all-of-a-piece. But there's
one qualification that the average
man possesses and the average
woman lacks, and that iS-GAME-
NESS.
Of plain courage and spitfire
spunk, any woman has plenty

How long would the human race

and gameness in facing the tests
of public life is decidedly some
thing else.

THE OLD DAYS


Acknowledging and such mod
ern improvement may be max
ing softies out of Congress, but
they haven't dulled the memories
for the old days when the COM
forts and necessities of life had a
distinctly different turn.
Mute evidence, of course, are
the two lacquered snuff boxes in
the Senate chamber, one on either
side of the Vice Presidents dais.
They are always kept filled.
No one uses them now except,
perhaps, a page might try them
out. On occasions the imprint of
furtive fingers can be found.
The last Senator to use them
more or less officially was Sen
ator Overman.
Capt. Isaac Bassett, one of the
legendary figures of the odd
Senate, was the official custodian
of those boxes. He began as a
page in 1881.
COURTLY GRACE
Besides these receptacleS they say
that when Captain BaSSett was IN
his prime he was presented with
a silver box and gold box. He car
ried one or the other of them in
his pocket at all times. Frequently
a Senator would step up to him on
the Senate floor, bow with all the
courtly grace of that era, and say;
Captain, your snuffbOx,
please, sir"
Captain Bassett would produce
the box, the Senator would take a
pinch, touch it to his noStrilS, draw
out one of those large silk hand
kerchiefS affected in that period,
daintily wipe away the residue and
return to his seat.
The Snuffboxes, however, are
not the only marks of past
grandeur left behind.
Over in the Senate Office Build
ing there is swimming pool and
a nice shower room. In the office
building and in the Senate are up
to-date barber shops.
And, way down in the subway
below the Capitol is an old room,
not used for much these days, with
the first built-in bath tubs that
were made in Washington.
SENATORIAL BATHS
They are enormous marble Ro'
man baths, with steps leading up
to them. that used to be situated
in the old barber shop. Here the
Senators, that is some of them,
took their daily additions besides
having their f a CT S scraped and
their boards trimmed.
The tubs are cracked and out OF
date now but still remain tucked
away for future generations to
wonder about.
The Senate floor also bears wit
ness to the days of oratory that
made this country famous in its
youth.
When the Senate was moved
from the old Supreme Court cham
Der. the desks that were used by
the early legislators came along
Since then, when a desk has been
added, it has been made to con-

But, even now, the legislators sit
at the desks once presided over by
Clay, Calhoun, Webster Jefter'
!; son Davis, Charles Sumner, FRS
bee Hoare and Henry Cabot Lodge.
SAND BOTTLES
Proof of the strictness to which
furniture period has been adhered
is the fact that each desk still
contains a sand bottle for use in
plotting. When quill pens were
used these were a necessity.
