Under the old system, the patrolmen
took the brunt and had little hope for
reward. Now they know they can 90
places-and they are out to make rec
ords. That is why the smugglers are
on the run, more so than ever.
THE war against smuggling is on as
it never was beforehand for once

its very nature, of course, the capture
of smugglers is a hit-or miss PROPOSE
ton. 1t is practically impossible, for
| instance, to guard every mile of the
! Nations far-flung boundary line. AT
: best, the border patrol is small unit
and. for its success, 1t depends
largely on tips.
Those tips come from everywhere,
and nowhere. They come from repu-
table sources and they come from
the underworld. Those are the tips
that must be watched. A disgruntled
member of gang decides to play
false. He drops q postcard to the
authorities. They may be led into
a trap. So they are wary.
A man in Philadelphia, or Balti-
more, or New York gets first-hand
information that neighbor In the

prits.
A postal inspector In Washinrton,

working on q case that involves mail
robbery, comes across evidence that
shipment Of opium is due from
China-and forthwith the Custom
Service gets the information and goes
to work.
Take the border cases: The Gus
toms Service has a chart that shows
the owners Of every foot of property
abutting both border lines. This in
formation is exceedingly helpful. If
property owner on the Mexican
border, for instance, sells more of a
certain commodity than possibly
could be raised on his acres, sus-
picion naturally attaches to him.
Part of the total commodity sold un-
doubtedly came from Mexico, was
smuggled across the border And
the Customs generally proves this to
be so. Patrolmen come to know the
property owners who respect the law.
Likewise. they keep their eyes on
those whose cooperation Is doubtful
Along these lines. information is
obtained from friendly border resi-
dents, local officers. field personnel
of other enforcement agencies, and
authorities Of neighboring countries.
The border patrol co-operates with
the Mexican customs officials. Team
work Is particularly good between the
American patrol inspectors and the
Royal Canadian Northwest Mounted
Police.
With these two borders we'll in

whatever plane he was assigned to.
After few flights he discovered that,
when his compass was spinning like q
top after q sudden dip or turn, the
mechanical turn indicator always told
him the truth as to whether he was
keeping or deviattng from his course.
He gained confidence indt: confidence

rAte-of-climb indicator. which told
him the ships longitudinal position.
These three instruments today are the
essentials Of all instrument flying.
THE World War flyer thought he
piloted his plane by a mystic sixth
sense to which the mere idea Of me-
chanical aids was not only alien but
obnoxious. To dispel this belief in q
special "air sense" Maj. David A.
Myers, one Of the Army's early flight
surgeons, started giving q special test
in revolving chair. Blindfolding the
pilot he proved it was impossible for
any normal person to tell In which di-
rection he was turning when visual

border patrol usually cops highest
honors. There is q reason: Since the
days of Teddy Roosevelt. all vacancies
in the border patrol have been filled
entirely from the civil service roster.
Political pressure is not considered.
Previous service in CON rat unit, or
at least six months as peace officer,
is the rigid requirement. The border
patrol Is semi-military outfit. The
duties are comparable to those of a
soldier under field orders. The men
are required to wear uniforms, carry
certain equipment: a revolver. black
jack. handouts. field glasses and flash
lights at night. Former service men,
deputy sheriffs and Texas rangers
make up the bulk Of the organization
and can they shoot
Until some time ago, patrol inspec-
tors were attached to the Offices Of
various collectors Of customs. Re-
Gently. they were transferred to the
Customs Agency Service. the police
arm Of the Customs Bureau. The re-
suit, says Chief Shamhart, is better
coordination of the work of both the
investigative and enforcement units of
the service. Under this set-up, the
patrolman Is given a chance to ad-
vance to the position Of customs agent
which pays better.

yacht, with load of diamonds that
would have made her a small fortune,
but the lads of the customs service got
her and caught her with the goods.
AS a matter of fact, it was her hus-
bands yacht-and because of this, the
case was taken directly to the Treas
ury Department. where the husband
was given chance to clear himself.
When it was found that he was an in
nocent party, and that his wife was
the victim of an ill-advised scheme to
defraud Uncle Sam, everything was
squared up by the payment of ter

contraband. 1t taught lesson, at any

1t. Col. Ocker Corrects
Figure Which Enabled
Him to Enlist.
By Ben II. Pearse.

TINE United States Army has just
performed an official oper-
alton on the longevity of its
L oldest flying officer in point
of continuous service, 1t. Col. William
c. Ocker, Air Corps, who has more
than once been stationed in WASH
ington and whose innumerable trips
here, in the promotion Of blind flying,
have made him a familiar figure to
succeeding generations Of War and
Navy Department officials. After care
full consideration of the principle in
volved, and the circumstances in his
particular case. the Adjutant Generals
Office has granted q request by Col.
Ocker to correct" his ofiicial age.
For the first time. the Oficial United
States Army Register for 1898 will list
the date Of his birth as "18 June 80,"
turning back the official Army clock
four years in its flight toward the
inevitable retirement age of Ga.
This procedure, while not unprece-
dented, is extremely rare. In the case
of an individual fasifying his age to
gain entrance to the Military Academy
1t would undoubtedly mean instant
dismissal. Practically the only cases
considered in sympathetic light are
those Of men who overestimate their
age in the flush Of patriotic enthusi-
asm during wartime. Because Col.
Ocker was too young to be accepted
back in '98, he listed his age as ~
instead Of 18 on his enlistment papers.
1t is for that sin he Is now granted
absolution.
pvt. oCKER was on duty as an
armed guard at Fort Myer 80
years ago when the Wright brothers
plane was being assembled in q shed
near the parade grounds in prepara-
ton for the first Army tests.
Even when he saw the epochal flight
which sold the Army its first air
plane, he was not greatly impressed.
But four years later, after he had
transferred to the Signal Corps and
was serving in the Southwest where
towns and excitement were the ex-
ception rather than the rule, he asked
his company commander, the late
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, later
head Of the Air Service Of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force in France,
for transfer to the aviation section.
1t was granted and he went to San
Diego, where the Army maintained
two planes at q Glen Curtiss flying
school for training pilots.
There, while serving as grease
monkey to the two planes, nicknamed
Lizzie" and Julia" Pvt. Ocker
formulated plan. He got q Job after
hours working on the Curtiss planes
and kept strict record of his time.
When 1t amounted to q sufficiently
large sum, he presented his bill. Al
he expected, the school oficials were
unable to pay. He generously offered
to take his bill out in flying instruc-
ton, and his offer was eagerly &C
cepted. A few weeks later he passed
the tests and received his pilots
