Ruthless Criminals Active
on Border of Brazil, Say
Reports,
RIO PR JANIEUO. (AP) Fron
tier activities that brlns to mind the
Btirrlnff 4in.es of Daniel Iloonc arc
beiniy reported in the local press
roin the Brabiliun regions which
porder on Venezuela und tho Guinus.
According1 to these stories, und to
reports thut have been mude from
the trouble zones to tho government
contruband runners, clandestine gold
miners, and various kinds of des
porados have been crossing tho fron
tiers Into Brazil in increasing num
bers and have been leaving trails of
blood and ruin.
Tho vast regions of the Amazon
valley, which arc but sparsely in
habited, contain many forms of
wealth that aro within the reach of
ruthless outlaws who act In. small
groups, as well as In big and power
ful organizations. It is reported
that fortunes in gold and precious
clones have been panned from the
gravels of tho northern streams of
Brazil by outlaw miners; thut rose
wood, mahogany, ebony and other
precious woods have been stolen
from Brazilian forests, that cattle
haven been run off the poorly pro
tected ranches, und the crops of out
laying settlement furms boldly pil
fered by raiders. Tho reports udd
that these outluw activities havo re
suited in many bloody clashes bo
tween local inhabitants und bands of
frontier runners.
Tho fact that boundary lines run
through trackless wilderness makes
it utmost Impossible to establish ef
fective police protection.' Tho few
military posts of the Brazilian gov
ernment and her neighbors are lost
in the vastness of the zones they are
supposed to patrol.
Tho outlaws aro escaped convicts
from tho penal colony in Kronen
Guiana, negroes- from Barbados, Mar
tinique and Trinidad, riff-raff from
Kngllsh and Dutch Guiunu, and ad
venturers from Venezuela. French
Kngtish, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese
and Indian dialects are mixed Into
a general regional language. The
slzo of the outlaw organizations is
governed by the kind at outlawry In
which they are engaged. Tho gold
mining and smuggling gangs, for in
stance, are said to be large und
powerful, with headquarters in coast
towns.
As a moans of taming the frontier .
zones, tho Brazilian Ministry of Ag-i
riculture, commerce and industry
plaining to fill up
strip of land along
tho boundary
lines with Indian reservations and ug-k
ricultural colonies. The Ilruzilianf
Indians are hardy and warlike, and!
It Is believed that they would sooni
rid those regions of foreign invaders
if they were given property to de
fend. Both tho Indian Service and In
terior Settlement Departments of the
Ministry of Agriculture arc engaged
in the enactment of these pacifica
tion plnns.

EVERY good ship, ncaring port, takes on a pilot Usu
ally, the law requires it. The pilot knows the chan
.' '.nel. With his capable hands at the helm, the vessel is safe.
Without him there is danger of the shoals.
: When you set sail on a shopping tour you, too, should
,; t have a pilot. Everybody needs one. And well-informed
- shoppers always have one advertising.
Advertising keeps you off the rocks of extravagance
and waste. It takes you straight into the port of economy.
It tells you plainly where, to go for what you want. It
shows you how to save steps and money and time. By
watching it carefully, each day, you are able to buy to the
best advantage.
Often, the advertisements will keep you from making
. an unwise purchase by pointing out just why one article
suits you better than another. It points out for you tho
pick of the country's market and the selection of the par-
ticular kind, shape, size and color that best suits your
taste and fits your pocket-book.
. '.
Whether you'" want food, clothing, f ;irniture or a toy
for the children, the advertisements can help you.

It's Up To
You can make yourself just what you want to make your
self. But it is up to you. We can give you a formula for
success that has never been known to fail. You must ap
ply it. ..
"Work faithfully, spend wiseJy and save regularly." Just
common sense, but the cornerstone of all success.
