SMUGGLING GOODS TO
GERMANS IN MEXICO
(tty Associated Press!
EL PASO. Texas. Jan. 11.—AH of
the tricks which smugglers have used
in the past to get contraband goods,
ammunition and jewelry in and out
of Mexico are now being employed
to get contraband foodstuffs into Mex
ico through this port. False bottoms
in trunks, wagons and automobile
trucks with two floors and peddlers'
carts with false partitions are some
of the devices resorted by the men
who would evade the food embargo.
Recently a large quantity of lard and
sugar, prohibited articles, were dis
covered under a pile of merchandise
on a commission broker’s float. The
goods were confiscated and the brok
er’s license revoked. It is believed
much of the smuggled contraband is
being sent to Germans in Mexico.

BROKERS CONSERVING
THE NATION’S FOOD
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., .Ian II
The annual grain fight, which featn '>‘d
the closing session for the year on the
floor of the merchants exchange, from
time immemorial, did not take (dace
, this year. Instead of throwing grain
at each other and showering the vit il
substance around the floors and gal
leries of “the Pit,” the brokers in
dulged in other pleasantries.
The change in the costum came as
the result of an edict issued by the
federal food administration that grain
should not be wasted. The brokers,
however, declared they needed nc
edict as they are alive to the neces
sity of conserving the nation’s food
stuffs.
