Pacific Is a Paradise
For the Bold Smugglers

Cornwall was once the smuggler's
paradise, but the "title" seems now
to belong to Australia, particularly
the north coast of Queensland, ac-
cording to writer in Pearson's s
London Weekly.
Parts of Queensland coast are
wild and almost entirely free from
the prying eyes of officialdom. Also,
sheltered from the Pacific by the
Barrier reef, many of the isolated
harbors offer calm water in which
the smugglers' craft can work easi-
ly and safely. Truly, a smugglers'
paradise.
The japanese have been quick to
recognize the golden opportunity
and have been dumping opium and
silk piece goods on big scale.
Knowing that it is practically i'm
impossible to patrol the whole
Queensland's long coastline, the
Japs do not bother with elaborate
precautions to get the stuff ashore.
The most popular method is to
drop the goods overheard from
steamers and then pick them up in
motor-boats. When dropped in the
sea, the dope or silk is well pro-
tected by being wrapped in water
proof covers.
Once ashore, the stuff is sent down
to Brisbane and Sydney and other
cities, where certain shady whole
salers are waiting to buy it up as
salvage stock" from a supposed
bankrupt store in the north.
One manufacturer of women's
dresses boasted to friends recently
that he could buy dress material for
q quarter Of its true value. And the
worst of it is that many honest shops
are selling dresses made UP from
this smuggled cloth
The best weapon the authorities
have to fight the traffic is the dou-
decreasing nature of the crowd who
carry it on, especially as regards
opium. Often a dealer in Japan or
China will sell large consignment
Of dope and, when he has collected
the cash for it, cable information
about it to the customs police in
Queensland. He collects a reward
for the information and so makes a
two-way profit.

Somehow the hot biscuit and hon
ey had an insipid taste to Jerry, and
the tiny kitchen was hot and tight.
He felt strangled-was glad to get
out upon the veranda again. But
as twilight came on the mosquitoes
swarmed over him, and in peevish
discomfort he went into the house
to the tiny parlor. Stuffy here, too;
somehow this big man, vibrant with
animal spirits and physical vigor,
breathed up all the air in the little
house, so that the mother felt suf-
located and overwhelmed.
"If you were staying here, Moth

screened in? But then, what's the
use of talking, you won't be here"
"It's funny, Jerry, but the mos

laughed her little tirkling laugh,

mornings that she rocked there, the
sweet, cool sunsets she placidly

along the veranda up a post and
perched among the crimson rambler
roses, now drenching the whole
porch in their profusion of gor-
geous bloom and brilliant reflection.
The ribbon was always matched to
the color of the flowers, and the IL

a pendulum.

Seventeenth Centurx Pirment

During the Seventeenth century a
popular pigment was made from
the flowers of the common blue flag
or iris. The purplish blue flowers
were first allowed to ferment, then
the juice was extracted and mixed
with powdered alum. Later the pig.
ment was called iris green. The
flowers of the violet-colored pansy
were also used to make q similar
pigment.
