OF NIGHIHAWK5 THE BORDER
A warm, humid evening in midsum-
mer found an airplane winging its
way southward out of Canada. The
pilob glanced over the side and grin-
ned as he recognized a cluster of
lights below. They marked the head-
quarters of the custom inspectors, im-
migration ofiicems, and border patrol-
men assembled to protect the United
States from illegal invasion at that
point.
'For this pilot, however, the lights
served not as a thread but a beacon.
.Another twq,.hours and he could put
his ship down on the old farm in In-
diana, far inland where there were no
prying federal agents to examine the
contents of his plane; no one but the
olive -skinned boss who used the farm
as a hang-out. Tucked in the invisible
cockpit up front were three very
frightened human beings, aliens of
the same South European breed as the
boss, at -present just so much freight.
The boss would take then in hand,
see that they got jobs—and that they
paid him handsomely out of their wag-
es. A rotten system.
'But a sudden fog spoiled every-
thing. It forced the pilot to land near
the border, and since he was to near
the line to risk a search with his pas-
sengers aboard, he had to turn their
loose. Next morning the border of-
ficials picked up three bedraggled
creatures who finally admitted that
they had been smuggled in from Can-
ada by plane, landed in a dark field,
led out to a road, and waved on their
way.
More and more the old roads over
which the smuggler once slipped in
aliens, rum, and dope are beingclock-,
ed. So now the smuggler uses the air- I
plane which can hurdle surface bar-
riers. Hundreds of machines are bring-
ing in contrabrand, not only from
Canada but from Mexico, the Ba-
hamas, Cuba, and from ships along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Most smuggling is carried on by
highly- organized syndicates with un-
limited funds, political connections,
and all the resources of the under -

v rltl,IG!overnrenit agents recently
turned up evidence that the most no-
torious efgaing in Chicago had a whole
fleet
'
lion dollars' worth of i liquor twothin a
year.
One flying bootlegger coming in
from Canada with a full lead was
forced down one night by a clogged
gas line. He released a parachute
flare which lighted a square mile of
surface and showed him where to land
safely; but the flare burned up the
finest haystack in New England, so
the owner said. He wanted to know
about payment. Here was a poser.
The flames had attracted the neigh-
bors, who would back up the farmer
in any direet action. The pilot said
he was carrying mail and offered a
cheek. It was refused. Finally he took
the farmer aside':
"I owe you about $600 for that hay;
but you haven't a chance to collect
unless you accept my propostion. I'm
not flying mail but liquor. When the
crowd leaves I71 unload enough to
cover your loss.Squeal, and the gov-
ernment will get the booze and the
ship. I'll go to jail, and you—well,
you can raise more hay. What say?"
The farmer saw the point. Next morn-
ing the bootlegger repaired his ma-
chine and flew away.
Less fortunate was the lad forced
down in Texas. To the curious who
gathered about his machine he said,
"I'm flying mail. Don't get too close
or touch therehip."
A constable offered to hold back
the crowd. There was no stopping him
He backed up against the plane, alert
to repel all comers. Suddenly he jump-
ed. An agonized sneeze had issued
from the "mail" compartment. From
the machine the constable dragged two
bewildered Japanese. They were turn-
ed over to federal agents and the
aviator was in trouble.
Canada supplies the larger quanti-
ties of Scotch whisky flown into this
country. During 30 days of feverish
activity along the Detroit river, when
extra government forces were trying
to stem the tide of contrabrand, the
Walkerville airport, near Windsor,
Ontario, cleared 62 American planes,
their cargoes aggregating 983 cases
of whisky. The pilots refer to their
"game" as "Hop-Scateh."
A party
of men
fishing through the
ice on Lake Osakis, Minnesota, re-
ceived a shower of whisky out of a
clear sky. Looking up they saw two
planes, the upper machine with a long
hose dangling from it and the other
swinging about trying to restore the
broken connection. Evidently a boot-
legging ring had taken its cue from
the record refueling flights. To hood-
wink the police the local plane was
never sent out at night or up for
more than an hour or two; but it was
able to fly out aver sparsely settled
country- and meet another machine
which transferred the liquor in mid-
air.
"I was hired to fly for a man nam-
ed Smith. He promised to meet me
here." said a pilot caught in the North
West with two bags full of morphine
and heroin. "Mr. Smith sent me the
baggage checks to get these 'ergs out
of the railroad station at S okane,
fly them here, and pick him up. I
thought they held clothing."
The•pilot got away with it, though
Mr. Smith never claimed his baggage.
Many of these smuggling birds mi-
grate to Florida for the winter sea-
son, bringing in liquor from Nassau
and Bimini, and, if the returns are
sufficient. taking a big chance and
running in aliens from Cuba. One pil-
ot went so far as to sport a uniform
and pose as a prohibition officer as-
signed to spot rumrunners from the
air. His ruse was successful, though
he was really flying liquor from Mim-
ini. Several months later he was ar-
rested in the North and proved to be
a bootlegger.
Government officials admit that they
are puzzled as to just what to do a-
bout this illicit traffic which, with im-
proved planes and airways, and saf-
er flying conditions generally, prom-
ises to grow rapidly.
At the request of the American gov-
ernment the Canadian Parliament re-
cently passed a law against clearing
from the Dominion when they carry
cargoes of liquor consigned to the
United States; and that also applies
to airplanes. This action is bringing
back the rurp rows along the coasts
and on the Great Lakes. Running the
stuff ashore is increasingly difficult
because the Coact Guard has been ade-
quately built up. So now come air-
planes which drop alongside a rum
ship, take on a load, and are off again
before the prohibition navy can reach
them. A winged machine making two
miles a minute can quickly disappear
and go far inland. The Coast Guard
has been experimenting with air-
planes, but setting a plane to catch
a plane, while picturesque in theory,
does not work out very well.
-Some kinds of smuggling can be
curbed, possibly. Other governments
may be persuaded to stop the illegal.
manufacture and exportation of liar,
codes which they now permit, or
wink at, providing the tax is paid.
With that supply cut off there'w'ill be
no dope to smuggle. -
With aliens there is the oft -repeat-
ed suggestion that everybody be com-
pelled to carry an identification card.
Then all foreigners can be picked' up
and departed if they are not in the
country legally.
But as to liquor -airplanes can now
fly across the continent in a single
day, often without being sighted from
the surface. What, then, is the chance
of bringing them down when they pass
overhead at night?
GOSSIP FROM MOTOR ROW
Search all you want, there is no
other task you'll find that motor car
executives would rather tackle than
the one that is facing many of them
these days --that of revising May pro-
duction schedules upward. Orders are
streaming in with an encouraging im-
petus, and output must be geared to
meet them. Every indication seems
to point to the fact that this month
will be one of the highlights in 1931
car production.

The latest of the many rumors re-
garding the plans Henry Ford has up
his sleeve for a new car is a startling
one, but has a ring ofgreat probabil-
ity about it. Briefly, it is being said
that the great motor mogul is plan-
ning to bring out three new series of
Fords and another Lincoln in the early
autumn. The Ford line, the rumor
says, will consist of a little four to
compete with the midget car class; a
'slightly changed version of the pres-
ent Model A, and a series of light
eights. T'he new Lincoln series will
supplement the present one and will
be offered as a smaller companion
series. At best, this is only a rumor,
and, like all rumors affecting Ford
cars, will not be confirmed or denied
by the company, but it seems such a
Logical step for Ford to take that the
writer' is backing it as his favorite in
this rumor race.

For the first time in history, Can-
ada is going to send over entries for
the famous International Tourist
Trophy motorcycle races, to be held
on the Isle of Man in the middle of
,Tune. The two Canadian contestants
for this greatest event in the world
of motorcycle racing are Leslie Mars-
den of the British Empire Motor Club
of Toronto, and Russell Moodie, of
the Sports Motorcycle Club of Mon-
treal.
j The race consists of.seven laps, of
,seven times around the island, a to-
tal distance of 268 miles. It is gruel-
ling, terrific experience for the drivers
with moments of wild exultation as
difficult corners are successfully tak-
en. The race furnishes one big day
in the year for populace of the li
isle, who turn out in full force for
it. Speed enthusiasts from the British
Isles and the continent come over for
the classic, with the total attendance
generally reaching the 200,000 mark.

Something that many motorist+
have felt has been seriously missing
from the automobile now makes 'its
appearance in the form of an acces-
sory to go on the market in the near
future. It is an automatic door closer
which gently swings the door closed
as soon as anyone enters or leaves
the car. This one operates through a
specially designed spring and arm,
and will not allow the door to slam,
but swings it to with sufficient force
to engage the latch. It is compact,
and adjustable to any tension, and is

Not so many days now and the most
famous of all auto speed events in
Canada and the United States, the
Indianapolis speedway classic, will be
under way. This year seems to be
shaping up to be a big one, and mare
than 70 applications for entry have
already been received by officials of
the track. Only 38 of these can be
starters, so speed preliminaries will
take place before the big 500 -mile
event is run off.
This race is being closely watched
by the men who make motor cars,
for it is a favorite crucible in which
to try out pet engineering theories,
although few stock o'ar's are running.
A 500 -mile grind at the pace they
burn up the track in this speed dem-
onstration can reveal the weaknesses
of any car, unit or oil that is being
used.

A new safety device for cars soon
to make its debut on the market
should fill a long -felt want. It is a
safety switch which immediately outs
off the ignition if the car overturns
or is in violent collision. The switch:
does not ground the current and kill
the engine, but cuts the ignition en-
tirely, thereby stopping the engine.
Rough roads or sidesway will not
cause the devise to operate, however.
It can be attached to the dash under

falls forward, thus stopping t h e

Her Backache Relieved
After Using Two Boxes
SAYS MRS. R. RICHARDSON OF
DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS
Ontario Lady Found Them to be Just
the Remedy She Wanted.
Levant, Ont., May 17.—(Special)---
It is with true enthusiasm that Mrs.
R. Richardson, a resident of this place,
gives her opinion of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
"I have been suffering with a lance
back and after using two boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills 1 was entirely re-
lieved. Many thanks to Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills. They are the best remedy
I know of for Lame Back."
Dodd's Kidney Pills have become
popular all over the country because
people have tried then and found the
people have tried then and fount
them good. They are purely and
simply a ,Kidney remedy.
To enjoy good health your Kidneys
must function properly. Do you re-
alize what an important part your
kidneys play in your bodily health
and length •af life? Sluggish kidneys
permit waste impurities to remain in
the blood and cause slow poisoning
of the system.
Stimulate the kidneys with Dodd's

been winning new friends for over a
third of a century. They are endors-
ed from coat to coast.
NOTORIOUS GAMBLER EXPLAINS
HIS METHOD
• Alva Clarence was obviously no
suitable Christian name for a profes-
sional gambler so early in life it was
shed by the owner who is now knower
as "Titanic" Thompson. He is one of
the most notorious of American gam-
blers• and is the subject of a sketch
in Collier's by Ruth Ridenour. In the
underworld he was a well known
character for many years before the
public was aware of him; and it was
in circumstances extremely unpleas-
ant to Thompson that his name fig-
ured in the newspapers. He sat in
that famous high spade game which
preceded the murder of Arnold Roth-
stein, and benefitted to the extent of
$30,000. But he would gladly have for-
feited this profit if he could have
maintained his obscurity. The public-
ity the case gave hint made it almost
impossible for him to make a good
bet with anybody. He had the reputa-
tion thrust upon him of always win-
ning, and naturally, nobody wants to
bet with a man who always wins, for
as somebody has wisely remarked he
would rather play with a bad loser
than with any kind of winner.
Thompson is a man of 36, tall, lean
and well buiit. He never drinks or
smokes. He has a fascination for wo-
men but this merely annoys him be-
cause he says that a man cannot be
a good gambler and pay much atten-
tion to women. His wife divorced him
and collects alimony. He plays cards
every night, and that is his chief way
of earning a living. One supposes that
it is a pretty good living for his main
bank roll is composed of thousand
dollar bills. His minor roll is more
than a thousand dollars but he con-
siders it no more than he does the
loose silver in his pocket. Wherever
he goes he is accadp'anied by a large
revolver. It is more than a protector,
it earns him money, for one of his
accomplishments is that of expert
marksman, and he is always ready to
bet a large amount that he will be
able to perform incredible feats with
his revolver. He performs them too,
for it nay be taken for granted that
Thomp does not' bet unless he is
sure. That is laow he makes his liv-
ing.
!Thompson does not consider him-
self a great gambler, but merely a
pretty good one. He admits that he
thinks faster than other people and
that this gimes him the edge in bet-
ting as it docs in other respects. He
has a vast ingenuity in thinking up
what he calls "little propositions"
which will seem to favor the enemy
and yet which actually gives the pro-
poser a considerable edge. Some of
the bets which seem to arise with
the utmost spontaneity have really
been prepared long in advance. For
instafice, he was once driving along
a road with a friend,. and when they
passed a certain sigs post offered to
snake a large het that he would drive
to town in d certain time. The
friend, knowing tate' dicta eel to town

watches every card, every draw, every
expression. ,'lie has no expression him-
self, for his beady 'black eyes remain
insertftabie. He bets all round 'the
table on every card .drawn so that
often has more ori side bets than as
in the pot. "I have to think fast and
figure my percentages," he says, "I
can't relax for a second. Some. folks
think I bet too fast. They'll take
me because they figure I'm not stop-
ping to think, but I can't help think-
ing fast. These fellows that stroke
their chins and say, 'Now what was
that proposition again?" are marks
for me. I figure so far ahead of them
that their money is gone, before they
know they have . been betting.'
Thompson'Is code is that it Ls all right
to bet on fixed horse races, ball games
or prize fights. Ile would prefer to
do no other kind of betting if the fix-
ing could be depended upon, but he
recalls that there was a fixed horse
race at Tijuana on which he stood to
make $119,000 when the horse fell and
brake his leg.
Wherever he goes he makes gamb-
ling. He will bet with strangers or
casual acquaintances on his coin and
match tricks, his, sleight-of-hand with
cards; his ability to throw a stone ev-
er a six -storey building, his
expert-
ness with hiss revolver. Recently he
has gone in for golf, and as a rule
there is more money at stake in any
golf game he plays than any prize
for which 'professional golfers com-
pete. He will bet $20,000 that he or
his opponent can or cannot sink a
putt. He began to play golf as the re-
sult of a bet. He watched a friend play
and offered to 'bet $2',100 that he
could drive ry a ball as far. It looked
Iike easy money to his friend, and the
competition was set for the follow-
ing day. So Thompson bought a gunny
sack full of cheap balls and spent the
day driving. He found that he could
get distance, and he did not try for
direction, since it was not involved in
the terms of the wager. It was this
fact upon which he had counted, and
which as a matter of fact helped him
win the bet, for the more experienced
golfer was unable to shake off his in-
stinct to drive straight down the fair-
way One fixed principle is never to
bet on an even chance. Another is
that if a man wants to play roulette
he should own the wheel. He works
on the principle that all commercial
gambling reveals a high percentage
it favor of the house and that most
of it is crooked. But for all that, he
prefers to play with professional
gamblers 'nice himself rather than
with ambitious amateurs.
ONE NEEDN'T LOSE THEM
"Friendships for sale"—that is the
sign people- virtually hang out who
allow themselves to get out of touch
with their friends. Partings --distance
—needn't matter. Nowadays it's a
simple thing to retain friends, near
or far. By using Long Distance the
old intimacy is never lost.
REPAIR BRIEFS
A stiffer accelerator spring may
prove the very remedy for that un-
e,vennes•s which is so annoying when
the car is travelling at a low speed.
* * *
Not very many motorists are in-
clined to experiment with brake lin-
ings. Some do, however. One of the
experiments is to use different lin-
ings between front and rear wheel
brakes. It is not advised.
* * *
New car buyers should know the
purposes of the various tools in the
kit accompanying the car. Many, for
instance, offer a special wrench for
the water pump packing nut, yet some
owners, thinking they have not the
tool for this simple job, have to have
it done outside.
* * *
Wheel wobble or tramp, that phen-
omenon which makes high speed driv-
ing difficult, if not dangerous, is par-
tially a product of unequal or low
front tire pressure. Especially is this
true of all save the latest cars, in
which a special unit is used to keep
the wheels from marching. To keep
front tire pressures at the recommend-
ed level is especially important on
long trips when high speeds will bs
made.
FINAL CHAPTER WRITTEN QN
THE DREYFUS AFFAIR
The final chapter has been written
in the Dreyfus case. If it does not
contribute much to what has hien a
matter of public knowledge, it clari-
fies and sets upon it the official seal.
The Genian archives have been op-
ened and some facts brought forth
bearing on the case, and Colonel Max
von Schwartzkoppen has contribuSed
a posthumous note. It was the
colonel who, al military attache to
the German embassy in Paris, car-
ried on negotiations with whatever
French traitors he could find. But
among them was not Dreyfus. The

HE WAS :irritable at the ,office,
and grouchy at home. His
enemies increase his friends
became fewer.. Then one day
his doctor ` told him the troth.
He 'had been handicapped by
constipation for years. It had
brought headaches and con-
stantly irritating ills, to make
him "touchy." It had stolen
his energy and good nature.
His doctor suggested eating
Kellogg's ALL -BRAN regularly.
And in a few days he was a
changed man, cheery, ambi-
tious—and on the road to suc-
cess and happiness.
Constipation is so unneces-
sary. It can be ovcrcone so
easily, so pleasantly by eating
delicious Kellogg's ALL -BRAN :
a delightful, ready -to -eat
cereal.
Two tablespoonfuls of
Kellogg's ALL -BRAN daily are
guaranteed to prevent and
relieve both temporary and re-
curring constipation. In stub-
born cases, serve ALL -BRAN
with each. meal.
Use this natural method and
avoid the dangers of habit-

BRAN also supplies iron, which
builds up the blood.
Serve ALL -BRAN with milk
or cream, with fruits or honey
added. Delicious when com-
bined with canned peaches.
Use in cooking too. Sold by all

would have been to convict the trai
Esterihac,r, tvi• o was in bis ern
K
ploy. The aiser, personally appe
ed to, refused to permit the myster
to be'cleared• up, even at a time lin
after Esterhazy, thoroughly discredi
ed and no doubt a haunted man, ha
become an exile in London, where h
was to die in poverty as "Count d
Voilemont" in 1923.
One point now finally settled is
that Count Munster, the German
ambassador to France,
knew nothing
of Schwartzkappen's relations with
Esterhazy. This he had publicly de-
clared, but his denial had not been
accepted. Nor did the denial of the
German chancellor that he knew
anything about Dreyfus have any
weight. France was determined to
punish Dreyfus, mainly because he
was a Jew and unpopular. The agi-
tation was fanned by politicians and
it was' noted that many of those
aligned against Dreyfus were Jesuits
or graduates of Jesuit military
schools. That is the view of Walter
Littlefield, who . has written much
about the case and sums up the final
evidence in Current History. The
chief (villain in the piece was, of
course, Esterhazy. It was he who
trafficked with the secret documents.
It was undoubtedly he who wrote the
famous bordereau, or list of docu-
ments whose discovery precipitated
the scandal.
This bordereau, or covering letter.
was brought to the French Intelli-
gence department, with the story
that it had been found, torn up and
apparently overlooked, by a char-
woman in the German embassy. But s
Schwartzkoppen wears that he never
sawn it. His theory is that it was
stolen ,from his letter box. The,
point is unimportant, Schwartz-
koppen admits that both he and the
Italian military attache had been buy-
ing military documents from a carto-
grapher named Dubois. The French
Intelligence department knew of the
existence of Dubois merely by the
initial "D" which was later to be us-
ed as evidence against ,Dreyfus. It
seems certain now that either Sand -
herr, chief of the French Intelligence
or Henry of the sante department, re-
cognized Esterhazy's writing on the
bordereau, and to protect him mutilat-
ed the document, and then reassembl-
ed the pieces. It was in this form
that the document figured through
the interminable Iength of the trials.
Whether Dreyfus • was deliberately
selected out of all the French army
as the victim or whether he merely
happened to be one of a number of
suitable victims, we do not know, In
any event, forgery was liberally re-
sorted to in order to prove his gguilt
At the first trial there was a dif-
ference of opinion about the h'and-
wri'ting of the bordereau, arta the
judges were about to acquit Dreyfus.
This came to the ears of Gen. Mer-
cier, Minister of War, who imme-
diately ordered that the contents of
a secret report about Dreyfus be
presented to the judges. Regarded
dispassionately, this secret dossier
no!was nmore evidence against Drey-
fus than against any ether officer in
France. But the court found him
guilty and he was sentenced to penal
servitude for life. But there was
also some suspicion of Ester -hazy
who, at the time, was suspected of
being one of Dreyfus'& accomplices.
He was tried, but the French army
industriously forged documents in his
behalf and he was acquitted. Then a
card sent to Esterhazy by Schwartz-
koppen came into the hands of Col.
Picquart, then bead of the Intelli-
gence department, `who happened to
be an honest man. He began an-
other investigation, which convinced
him that Esterhazy was the prime
criminal. But his supporters, checked
him when it seemed that Ester -
hazy was about to be unmasked and
another of the gang took Picquart's
place.
The next step was taken when
facsimiles of the bordeau were sold
in pamphlet form on the streets. One
purchaser happened to !be a stock-
broker who -knew Esterhazy's hand-
writing. He told the Dreyfus people,
and once more the nation rocked to
the reverberation of the scandal, Fin-
ally the accumulation of evideence,
and the flight or suicide of SIMS of
the plotters who had' worked up the
case against Dreyfus could no long-
er be ignored and a clew trial was or-
dered. This was the court martial at
Rennes which brought in the rather
curious verdict of guilty "with ex-
