‘BOOTLEGGING’ OF FOREIGNERS IS INCREASING Federal Official Gloomy Over Smuggling of Aliens, By LARRY BOARDMAN NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Jujy 23—“ Bootlegging” of aliens is increasing since the new and stricter immigration law went into effect. * The new border patrol cannot begin to stop it, either. Last year I*2oo foreigners were permitted to enter the United States. Five hundred thousand more were smuggled in. That means 1,700,000 gained access to this country'. Under the new regluations only 161,000 will be admitted this year. 405 Guard 5,000 Miles “You can make your own guess at how many of these will attempt to come in anyway,” says W. W. Sibray. assistant commissioner general of immigration. • There probably will be less obvious smuggling, but a lot more of hidden smuggling. “It used to be carried on right in the open at hundreds of points before we had the border patrol force. Such flagrant violations, of course, ■will be checked considerably now. “But 450 men, guarding 5,000 miles of border, cannot begin to cope with it all.” Immigrants are sneaking into the United States all along the Mexican and Canadian borders and the Florida coast, Sibray declares. Carry Chinese Across "On the upper Rio Grande, where the river is shallow." he explains.

“scores of Mexicans have been in the business of wading across with Chinamen and others on their backs. “The Mexicans usually charge 50 •Tents a person for this service. When about ten feet from the Amerioan shore they dump their human cargo into the water and scurry back another load. “With miles of unguarded border
along the*~Canadian side, all the aliens had to do was to stop across, in the past. They were flocking in by automobiles and farmers’ wagons. We even have found several coming in under loads of hay. “Most of the smuggling Is carried on along the Floriad coast. They come first to Cuba, then board tramp steamers which run them ashore in
The flow of crude oil is uncertain. It follows, therefore, that the resulting supply of gasoline is unsteady. The most essential feature of the broad and comprehensive service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in the ten Middle Western states is to turn an uncertain flow of crude oil into a steady, dependable supply of gasoline. t Reliability of supply is the vital need of the millions of automobiles whirling over the hills and the tens of thousands of factories whirring in every great metropolitan center. Consumers, too frequently, think of crude oil in terms of gushers. • i % They do not realize that the gusher is only a temperamental display of nature and utterly unreliable for the purpose of doing the world’s work. Only through vast storage facilities, maintained at great expense by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and other companies in the oil industry, can the motorist rely on a dependable supply of gasoline and lubricants for his car during the height of the touring season. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a huge investment in farms of steel storage tanks, located at strategic points throughout its territory. These enormous tanks, filled to capacity in the off-season, are mute guarantors of a dependable supply in the rush season. The experience of 1923 is indicative of just how expensive is maintenance of oil storage. During that year the prices of crude petroleum were changed 105 days out of 365, due to fluctuations in production. From April to December every price change was a reduction—this period covering the heaviest motoring season of the year. When it is considered that the oil in storage in April went in during the off-season, before the decline in price, it is evident that storage imposes a heavy burden on oil companies. , Holding crude oil and refined oil in storage is merely one of many items of enormous expense that are necessary to complete the cycle of service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). That these expenses are reflected but slightly iri gasoline prices is due to the scientific efficiency entering into all the operations of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). i Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.

hidden bays and coves. “At the large seaports our greatest trouble is with deserting seamen. Thousands of contraband aliens ship on various vessels, then desert upon arrival. The average is about forty a boat.” Many Loopholes The new law, Sibray thinks, Is full of loopholes. “The biggest is that all students can eonre into the country without bond,” he says. “Now, a student is anyone who Is going to attend school—and, after a country’s quota is filled, just about everybody from that country becomes a student. “All we can do with travelers is to use our own discretion. An alien applies for admittance, says he is a traveler and that he is returning to his own country in a few months. If he looks like a bona fide traveler, we let him in. Tourists Stay “And once in, he usually stays in. “One English woman denied admission, went up to Canada and came back'on a sight seeing tour to Niagara Falls. She didn’deven carry a hand bag. We couldn't very well refuse her a look at the Falls, but once in she made for the interior.” Sibray sees two solutions to the problem —increasing the border patrol and enlarging the Interior force. NEW AUTOMOBILE LAWS Photos of Owners on Licenses Required in Bill. By \FA Serrlce PROVIDENCE, R. 1.. July 23 Rhode Island promises to introduce to the country a few innovations in auto legislation. A bill is pending in the legislature here requiring photos of auto owners or drivers to be attached to license cards. , Another bill forbids passing another vehicle to the left, at intersections, bridges, sharp curves, or on steep hills. A driver is forbidden to leave a line of vehicles to pass others ahead, if he has to pass more than three autos to do so.
How to Care for it BY E.H. SCOTT
Why Repair Bills Are High on Some Cars The heading of this article will look interesting to a large number of automobile owners. Some owners are in and out of the repair shop all the time, while others only require to make a visit at long intervals. As a certain large food manufacturer tells the world “There’s a reason.” Every car requires a certain amount of regular care and attention, but there is such a thing as giving, it too much attention —of the wrong kind, just as it is possible to not give it enWugh attention —of the right kind. An engine overhaul bill is generally a large one, and few automobile owners enjoy paying it. The writer has driven the .same car for over three years, yet the engine is still in good condition and has never been out of the frame for an overhaul. Oh, I can hear you say, but you are a mechanic. Let me tell%you that you do not require to*be g mechanic to keep down repair bills on the engine or any other part of your car. All that Ido practically any other automobile owner can do. Take this engine overhaul. The principal reason why the engine in my car is still in good condition, is because I drain out all the old oil from the crankcase every 500 miles in summer, and about every 400 miles in winter. In this way I always have fresh lubricating oil in the crankcase. If you find that your engine appears to use very little oil, that when you examine the oil gauge it always shows the crankcase with apparently // c^t > plenty of oil, it is NOT a good sign. A little thought will show you that ISE £’ * I | TyVV while your engine is operating oil I __ [Sf IfW^W is being used, and the fact that the FS ‘IJJ I _| jmßF* level of the oil in the crankcase I "I— off does not appear to go down, \ —J PROVES that the dilution of.the lub- ~rTrTfUIN~ —— ricating oil in your crankcase with J£— gasoline very heavy. Drain off some of the old oil and you will find 4 Jknr that it shells strongly of gasoline S and if you rub a little of it between . ... „ .. your fingers you will find It has no CUAHKCA* 5 DRAIN ED EVERT 500 MILES body compared with a flngerful of ENGINE GVtRttAUI 61115 Will Bt tiIGW. fresh oil. How does this dilution occur? The gasoline supplied today is very difficult to vaporize properly, and the heavy part that is not burned on the power stroke finds its way past the piston down into the crankcase, diluting the lubricating oil. This gasoline thins out the oil to such an extent that It will not lubricate the engine bearings or cylinder walls causing them to wear rapidly and very soon your engine becomes very noisy and has to be taken down and overhauled. If you want to keep your engine In good condition and prevent early engine overhaul bills, change the oil in the crankcase at least every 500 miles. Take as another example the lubrication of the rear axle. This Important unit should be filled to the proper level with lubricant every 5,000 miles. If you give the rear axle this attention, it will be lubricated perfectly, and will give no trouble. Suppose, however, in your zeal you keep on pumping in oil past the proper level, what happens? First you notice that oil begins to ooze out on the brake drums and the brakes refuse to act promptly bee se of the oil on the brake linings. This means that you have to remove the rear wheels and fit new washers. You also have to remove the brake bands and wash them in gasoline then readjust the brakes. Now all this trouble and expense would have been avoided if care had been taken in the first place to find out how you should have filled the rear axle with oil. This kind of thing is done every day and is one of the reasons why you have high repair bills. A few moments study of the instruction book you received with your car would have told you just how much oil to have put into the rear axle. A study of the instruction book now and again will tell you a number of things about your car that you have forgotten. Read it carefully, then follow the instructions given, and you will find you will save yourself a lot of grief, and keep your car out of the repair shop. I am sure the average owner can save himself fully 50 per cent ■ of all the repair hills he now has if . * he would give regular attention to k oo * the lubricant of all parts of the car THAT that require it. Take the chassis. q j. f SMOUtD have You can drive a long distance before rr u *’ - attention wiu lack of lubrication causes the var- “LfT’ 8t fOR&OTTEM ioua bearings and pins on such parts T'inlHl ■ [ > as the spring shackles, steering con- 5 ? ■" £**s^ nections, etc., to show signs of wear.

Give your car regular attention, don't tinker with any adjustments that should he made by a mechanic, keep all parts clean and all nuts and bolts tightened up and you will be agreeably surprised at the reduction in your repair bills.

MOO IST DO HIS STUFF First Baby Born After Convention Is Namesake. By TimfS Bprcial NEW YORK. July 23.—William Alfred Kasper, who was the twentyfifth baby and the first hoy born at the New York Nursery and Child Hospital after the Democratic National Convention, has had his mother write to William Gibbs Me Adoo and Governor Alfred E. Smith asking: that 'hey st'nd letters of congratulation to him. His mother wouldn’t wait until the end of the convention before naming him, and she Is naturally resentful of the fact that John W. Davis MeEoughlin, several days his junior, lias been tho rfe.pient of note from the Democratic presidential nominee. She thinks UlO two leading candidates prior to the nomination of Mr. Davis ought to come through. The Democratic Mothers’ Club of the hospital agreed with her at a meet ing yesterday afternoon and when Mr. McAdoo returns from abroad he will be asked to do his stuff.
