for an average of about $5 each; some had even been stolen.
 The protests were vociferous = these people already had been milked repeatedly Of smuggling fees! But Barro was hard.
 Then pass on without, and be killed!" he parked at them, and his interpreters translated in kind.
 Most of the men paid and took their guns, forced into 1t here at the showdown. A few of the women aliens bought arms too.
 By 8 D. m. horses had been led out in strings from the corrals in the rear, and the aliens were being given further last-minute mstruc- tions.
 "Iss no saddle he-e-e-ere!" one thick European rumbled, discovering that fact.
 Bareback" Barro snapped, also in English. Translate 1t for all of them, Gonzales!"
 That brought more growls of protest. But when leaders began to move of, the aliens all mounted as best they could. There was great deal of confusion for the ensuing half hour. Some horses bucked and had to be discarded. Some women began crying from fear and from sheer nervousness. three men, wrought to the break ing point, began fighting and one gun was discharged. Barro's hench- men moved swiftly to quell these disturbances.
 And yet, in the end, Barro's genius as leader was manifest. By g o'clock the cavalcade of armed aliens and smugglers was filling of into the night, heading south.
 Soon after dark on this same Sat urday night, the radio opperated by the United States Border Patrol from it's headquarters in Fl Paso cracked a call for which every fed eral officer in the upper Rio Grande area had been waiting.
 "Alabaster Alabaster All cars, alabaster All cars, alabaster Equator :. Equa- tor Equator"
 The voice was the same toneleSS drone to which the Border Patrol Force was accustomed, but the code information it gave was far from routine.
 The cryptic message was a quiet but highly significant mobilization order, for men who had been in- structed as to their procedure since dawn.
 Betty Mary Jordan, sitting near the radio man in his headquarters room, realized that his drawling words would bring about 35 cour- ageous men together within an hour, and that commanding them would be Sheridan Starr.
 "Oh, God, please take care of him!" she whispered there, too low for anyone to hear.

CHAPTER XXVI

For a full half hour Sherry, Hope and Betty Mary talked and argued earnestly about whether one of the officers should go back to Mexico in disguise. It was Betty Mary who argued, almost desperately, against either of them going.
 Tt is not worth it!" she insisted. we can take our chances on this side of knowing when Barro starts across, and where. Your lives would be in grave danger over there, tell you!"
 No doubt said Hope, laconi- cally. "You might, uh, mention to Washington, when you get the chance, that patroling the MeXi- n-American frontier is not a pink tea enterprise"
 It was the first hint of sarcasm she had ever heard from Hope Kildare, but she realized that she had it coming. She who had been sent out to reprimand two coura- geous officers for inefficiency!
 Her glance turned down at the table between them. For a long time she said nothing, then finally whispered "Yes. Do whatever you men think duty requires"
 And now" Hope resumed, T am the one who should go to Mex. ico. You, Sherry, were seen as the old woodman. Barro's outfit will have reasoned by now that you took Betty Mary away in the kitchen trash, whereas the butcher in the truck - who was really l. went by everybody unsuspected."
 T could change my disguise!" Sheridan protested.
 T look more like a Mexican, naturally. My features do. A little mtistache, and I look like a stranger even to myself. can slip over there, posing like a lazy peon or maybe a wood hauler or pros pector or something myself, and signal you when Barro starts to move. See?"
 He would be in no more dan- ger, Sheridan, than you would directing the fight against Barro." Betty Mary said that quietly. And they all realized it was true. Hav- ing been assigned to get" Barro, Hope or Sherry would doubt less be placed in charge at any showdown.
 "All right" Sherry agreed, finally. "Take some of the flares. Strap them to your body under your shirt. Red ones and white

Lincoln the Lowyer

LInCOiIl tIlS COWvS'
 THE full story of Abraham A Lincoln's career as a lawyer has not yet been written. Nor will it be written until the great mass of documents he handled. now scattered over the country. are brought together for one ex- haustive study But there is great deal known about Lincoln the attorney. and the legal pro. fession would have reason to hon- or him. even had he never occu. pied the White House.
 This is because the Lincoln who rode the circuit in his early days represents the whole integrity of the law. He was a great creative lawyer. and as such he left deep imprint on the field. There was no difference between the clear reasoning. human Lincoln in his Springfield law office and the Lin. coin making momentous decisions in the White House.
 His White House decisions. in fact, reflect more than any other the full character of Lincoln the lawyer. Here he was called ups on to interpret the war powers, delicate questions of legal and constitutional nature. questions of state and federal relationships. questions of emancipation. resto- ration of eon1scated property and countless others. The teslk, theres fore. was no less than hereuiean. but the wisdom of Lincoln was steady. How steady is evidenced by the fact thnt with but one exs eepslon every disputed act and policy for which he was responsIs bic ultimately was upheld by tho highest courts,
 So Lincoln leaves . peculiar mark on American law that outs Issls time. The Civil Waf pfes- ideBi Is shown above on c stamp q the u. c. series q iDel. lseent brown, enlarged.

ones. If Barro's force starts toward New Channel, as planned set three red flares of about 50 feet apart. I'll be watching with glasses in the tower here. Okay?-
 "Okay," said Hope, nodding. T can slip up to a spot on hillside and shield the flares with rocks SC they won't be visible from his house They burn about 10 minutes, so you shouldn't miss them"
 Right. Make it two reds ano one white, if Barro starts in an- other direction. But don't think he will. I think he may change the date. but not the place. New Channel is ideal for him, really And it is far enough down that it has not been used much if any, so he'll knew we wouldn't nor- mally be guarding there, in any force"
 "It's where the Rio Grande left its channel a while back, Betty Mary" Hope explained. Tt cut out. in flood, and moved a quarter mile eastward for almost a mile. There's a lot of rock and tree shelter, and not far from the highway where aliens could pc picked up in cars on our side It's an ideal place, right enough For Barro."
 For Saturday night supper. total of 126 men and women, most ly men, were served in the rooms and patio of Luis Barro's ranch house. of this number, 1O8 were for eigners who had paid heavily to be smuggled into the United States Several of them had been solicited by Barro's agents as far away as Honolulu. At least half of them were Tsiatic, few were European, the remainder Mexicans. Barro's hired interpreters had been kept busy for a week, as had his servants. The polyglot assembly had become dis. tinctly restless from sheer inertia and impatience, and Barro knew he must move them as soon as poSSi- ble. Each one or each group seemed to distrust the other, and yet each was admittedly in Barro's hands. h. sistently they urged him to hurry with his promised "easy' transpor- tation into the famous land of free dom and ease.
 "Gonzales!' Barro snapped, i'm mediately after the Saturday night meal. "Tell the interpreters it is time to move. Explain with care Nobody is to shoot unless the officers happen to appear. Nobody is to talk, or make noise. The river there is shallow. Wade right across, go direct to the highway Twevle cars, one bus, one truck will be there to take them right on eastward. But at once now they come single file through the locked offices, for the guns"
 Gonzales, Barro's lieutenant passed the word, and immediately a subdued murmur of excitement crept over the foreigners. The talking rose in a slow crescendo so that Barro had to order il stopped. But tension was in the air. Even the humblest servant felt it by the time Barro began issuing rifles and side arms.
 The price is $50 each, Amer ican money" Barro coldly in. formed each man in turn. Ac' tually the guns had been obtained

Auto PeddIers
Henceforth Must
Have Licenses

Itinerant merchants and pedd-
lers who transport their wares in
motor vehicles along public high
ways, must file bond and obtain
a license from the state railway
commission after September 19.
Railway commissioners asked the
county board of supervisors for a
list of peddlers who heretofore had
been licensed by Imperial county.
A new state law governing the oper-
alton of the so-called itinerant
merchants will become effective
September Is, the commissioners
said, and the commissioners want to
start notifying them of the re-
quirements.
Apparently the new law does not
apply to the peddlers who carry
their wares picka- back or trundle
them around on push carts.
Collector Dan West, who
collects all county license fees OF
this type, said he has no such list
to give the commission as he has
issued no licenses permitting itin-
Grants to peddle Cities. however,
usually require peddlers to pay a fee
before granting permission to sell
fro,,, doo,. tn door within the nluni-
cipal limits.

that HB784 be taken from the un-

ty for damages inflicted by a school

The motion was adopted, the bill
was placed on the calendar, and
after being amended by Watchdog

vide that payment be made only if
the school commission should find
it to be a fact that the school bus
was entirely at fault and that the
victim was not guilty of any de-
gree Of cOntributOry negligence, it
was passed. The sum appropriated is
about $684.
Thus was fulfilled once again the
prophecy made by Taylor Of Wayne
and others early in the session when
the bill came in to pay Mr.. Williams
in Nash county for his mule Cicero.
The House was warned then that
many other such bills would follow.
and there has hardly been a day

Cigarette
Paper Plant
About Ready
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April AIN the not very
distant future, cigarette addicts will
be able to. enjoy an ALTAR Heel
smoke, representative Pat Kinney,
Of Pennsylvania county, is telling
around Raleigh.
The neWsy smoking pleasure will
come with completion Of the huge
$2,000,0OO cigarette paper plant now
under construction in Mr.. Kimzey's
county on the Davidson river not far
from one of the most popular of
Western North Cardinals resort CEN
ters, Brevard.
For many, many years North Car
olina has been the largest cigarette
manufacturing State in the Union
and its fields have grown most of
the tobacco used in leading brands;
but there has always been one for
eign element-the paper. Heretofore
that has come from France and there
has been more than a little skep-
ticism about the possibility of fab
ricating it in this country.
But after years of testing, the
Ecusta Paper Corporation has come
to the conclusion that the flax grown
in Western North Carolina, to be
combined by use of the sparkling,
pure water of the Davidson will pro-
duce papers equal to the finest i'm
ported from the "Land OF the Frog
and the Cinquante Centime".
The plant has been in the making
for several months and should be
ready for production within a very
few more. Several buildings now
stand completed on the 2O0-acre
tract and a 225-foot brick chimney
carrying the name of "Ecusta Paper
Corporation" built into it with light
er bricks, towers over the main
structure.
1t will give employment to more
than 400 men, and it is estimated
that at least four -fifths of them will
be chosen from residents of the i'm
mediate Brevard section.
To begin with, its staff of tech
nical experts and supervisors will be
imported from France.

Employment
In Fajctories
Up For March
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April 4.-There was a
substantial, though not startling, in
crease in factory employment in
North Carolina, according to prelim-
mary figures and reports made to
the Department of Labor from 346
manufacturing establishments for the
month of March.
These figures show that in the 436
factories, there were employed a
total of 98,723 workers against 97,-
80 in the same factories during Feb
ruary.
Increase in the number Of work.
ers was accompanied by a CORES
ponding increase in pay rolls with
the average weekly figure for March
totolling 81, 1,428,955 against 81 ,419, 400
for February, an increase in pay roll
totals of $9,146 for the average week.
Average paid each employee per
week was almost stationary, increas-
ing from $1451 for February to
$14.58 for March.
By industries the trend was gen.
orally up, both for employment and
pay rolls in cotton, furniture, knit
goods and miscellaneous manufac-
turing plans, very slightly downward
in silk-rayon and tobacco plants.
Commissioner of Labor Forrest
Shuford said that the upward swing
in March was somewhat surprising,
as indications prior to receipt of the
real figures had led to the impress
sion there would probably be slight
decline, rather than an increase.
The reports, are the preliminary
ones for March, but these first in
dications are usually true indexes of
final returns from all industries.

passed the Senate bill authorizing a
commission of insurance experts to
study the whole structure Of public
liability insurance rates and to ad-
wise the commissioner concerning
the fixing of premium charges.
The amendment offered by Rep
resentative Efird of Stanly provid-
ing that the commission should de-
termine maximum rates was OppOS-
ed by sponsors of the bill, but was
adopted by a $3.50 standing vote
Wilson of Forsyth had attempted
to amend the measure to provide
for some others than insurance men
to sit on the fact-finding commits
sion, but there wasn't much SYM
pathy for the idea.
The bill as it had passed the Sem
ate had the Wnole-nearted support
Of the department of insurance, and
was commended as a long forward
step toward lower insurance rates.
Taylor of Wayne, in discussing the
bill admitted that in about one per
cent of the cases, where few COM
panies selected preferential risks
only, the bill might result in higher
premiums, but that upon the whole
it would mean materially lower
costs to operators of cars and trucks.

ed it would guarantee continued ex-
orbitant charges by insurance COM
oanies. However, the general men,
