supposed to be pally with the rancher, a railway telegraph op- orator in a lonely whistle stop station or housewife on a re- mote farmhouse will have a chance to see things or hear things which the border patrol ought to know. GUN PLAY,
 AND PLENTY
 The dodges by which aliens are illegally brought into the coun- try are many and varied. Along the Texas border, the patrolmen not long ago found that what appeared to be a perfectly ordinary auto- trailer had a secret compartment in which a couple of aliens were being smuggled over the border. On the coast, aliens may be brought in (almost frozen stiff, sometimes) in the ice compartment of a fishing tug. In the desert, couple of cars parked in the form of a T may indi- cate to an airplane smuggler that it's safe to land and unload his car- go.
 Service can be pretty hazardous, at times. The forces records con- tain 6 long list of gun fights. Thirty one patrolmen have been killed in action during the last IS years. When a patrolman sur- prises . group crossing the Rio Grande in some isolated place, his quarry is as likely as not to shoot 1t out with him. Hence the em- phasis in the training courses, on the use of firearms.

SNOW TRUCKS HIT
 BY PASSING CARS
Need for Great Caution in Driving During Bad
 Weather Emphasized

Hartford, Dec. 13.-Accidents to State snow removal equipment dur ing recent snow storms indicate a need for greater caution in driving during bad weather, State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox be- lieves. Three vehicles, using the left side of the road, hit the fronts of snow blows at work. One vehicle travelling in the same direction, col- lided with the rear of a blow truck, while another hit a blow blade in passing. Another blow truck was hit at an intersection and a sand truck was hit while 1t was parked for loading.
 In view of these accidents, Com missioner Cox has requested that the i.lntoring public reduce speed during 1pow or ice storms. Further he has asked that careful watch be kept for indications of snow re- moval equipment on the roads. In this connection, he pointed out that 1t is impossible to have every foot of highway completely plowed every
 minute of storm. Instead, snow removal equipment patrols fixed beats, removing snow and sanding, hills and curves.
 He pointed out that there are several factors indicating lack of caution. First there is the known hazard of slipping or skidding on ice or snow, which is considered suf- ficient reason for lower speeds. In addition, State Highway Depart ment trucks are distinctive both in daylight and after dark.
 Tn daylight hours the structure of the blow supports, and the sem- aphores that mark the width of the
 blow blades, clearly indicate the presence of highway blow trucks. At night special lighting is used to identify these trucks. Over each cab there are three lights showing to front and rear. These consist of two fixed red lights with a flashing green light between. The two sem aphores, extending to the approxi- mate limit of the blow blade, are 1 lighted at the outer ends. These lights show green to the front and red to the rear. In addition, the blow trucks have two spot-lights that, while primarily for illuminat- ing the blow blade at work. also serve to identify the vehicle at night.
 Private vehicles that collide with snow equipment, not only endanger all persons concerned. but frequent ly cause serious delays in the plow- ing and sanding work. These de- 1 lays in turn increase the dangers 10 other drivers In the vicinity.

This outfit is the border pa trol of the Immigration and Ma turalization Service and Naturali- ization Service of the Department of Justice.
 Its 1400 trained men have $500 miles of land border to patrol and an equal mileage of sea coast although on the sea they get help from organizations like the coast guard. The patrols force has been doubled during the past year, and plans have been drawn up for tripling the present force on 8 mo- ment's notice in case the country should get into war or other dire emergency.
 With that tripled force, the ra- tion's borders could be closed air. tight. They aren't sealed that way now, but a viligant watch Is kept at all times especially along the Mexican border, where half of the whole force is concentrated.
 HAVE TO BE
 HANDY GENTS
 Border patrolmen have to be 8 little bit of everything - sharpshooters, handy barroom fighters, gum shoe detectives, horsemen, radio experts and heaven knows what not. They get stiff course of training before they go on duty, and are taught practically everything from jiu-jitSu to first aid.
 The patrol works in close CO., operation with the FBI and with the army and navy intelligence services. It also keeps in close touch with U. s. consuls abroad, especially in Mexico, so that it may know who is lurking outside the country waiting for a chance to sneak in. Its men wear natty, Northwest Mounties tpye uni- forms of forestry green, when they're out on patrol; yet some of them prowl the borders in the guise of tramps, hunting up the hide outs of alien smugglers, while others hang around sea- ports as fishermen, >longshoremen or merchant sailors.

CHRISTMAS CAKE

Take pound or so of raisins,
 Chop em mighty fine, Add molasses, nuts and brandy,
 Hew close to the line. Beat up half dozen eggs,
 And some entrants for good measure Nutmeg, allspice, sugar and milk
 Must go into this precious treasure. Before you start the operation
 Clear the biggest table you own, Follow your recipe closely
 As in illustration is shown. To continue: salt, soda, bread crumbs, Measure and sift your flour, Be accurate as to measurements,
 Allow for baking more than an hour Stir in order as given,
 If batter is still don't take alarm, Beat all ingredients thoroughly
 With strong right arm. All set? slip into oven
 At correct degree fahrenheit, Don't vary the stove temperature
 Or the cake will look a sight. Now it can be told-youve guessed it,
 Give 1t all the time 1t will take, And if luck is with you the result
 Will be swell Christmas cake.
