Officials Seek Pact Barring
Smuggling Yet Passing
Goods
WASHINGTON. Dec. 25. (By
Associated Press.) Smuggling
conditions affecting liquor, aliens
and merchandise, with" the possi
bility ot a liquor treaty with Cuba
as one result, are questions to
which representatives of th state
and treasury, departments will
address themselves within the
next few days.
.Assistant Secretary Andrews of
the treasury and Assistant Solici
tor Vallance of the state depart
ment left tonight on the first leg
rt a two weeks tour.during which
1hey hope-to obtain definite infor
mation as lo ways and means of
meeting the situation throughout
the south. The officials will visit
. half a dozen southern customs
ports of entry and wil also con
fer with officials of the Cuban
government at Havana. '
With his -reorganization of in-
. tornal prohibition forces as plan
ned last April ;nov completed.
Mr. Andrews has arranged to iron
rut kinks in the customs service, j
Hevproposes first to study condi
tions in the south with a view' to
facilitating passage of merchan
dise through the ports' and at the
same time establish a "more com
plete liaison between the customs
coast guard and prohibition, ser
vices 'against liquor smuggling.
Mr. Andrews has control of all
three units for the treasury and
his thought from 1 the-start of his
official duties has been : to work
out a closely knit system of oper
ations. " '
As for the Cuban visit, little has
been officially disclosed. There
have bwn rumors, recurring from
time to time of a move to arrange
a -liquor treaty with Cubassimilar
to- those already filled with Can-
ada and Mexico.
.Mr. , Vallance has had much to
1 with negotiations of the liquor
treaties, and with Mr. Andrews
drew up the agreements wifh Mex
ico and Canada. The assumption
has not been controverted, there
fore, that a liquor treaty with the
Havana government will be given
consideration through the confer
ence there next week.
-It is expected also both officials
plan to confer at length with Am
liassador Crowd er while in Ha
vana to obtain from him formal
suggestions on the several phases
of the international problem.

aST-WEST MEET
Benefit Match for Crippled
Children Brings Out All
Star Lineups
SAX FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.
(By Associated Press.) East and
West - meet here tomorrow in a
battle that is expected to determ
ine the gridiron supremacy of the
two sections of the United States,
for each team numbers some of
the greatest players in the coun
try, many of whom have won
places on all-American elevens.
The contest is being put on by
the Shriners as' a benefit for the
crippled children's hospital.
Both elevens went through
strenuous workouts today and the
individual practices .left an im
pression that tomorrow's game
will be a slashing, hard fought
affair with the outcome in doubt
until the closing whistle. The
eastern squad received one cas
ualty since arrival hero Wednes
day. It was Davis, left tackle
from the University of West Vir
ginia, who suffered an Injury to
his ankle during practice yester
day. Bill Ingram, captain, -and
coach of the easterners said to
day it was improbable that Davis
would get into1 the game. y All
other members of the squad are in
first class shape. ;
Coach Pesky Sprott of western
team put his squad of all-Pacific
coast stars through a stiff prac- i
lice today and immediately after
said the. team was ready for the
hardest kind of playing. Injuries j
have failed to make an impres
sion on the j westerners. The

NEW STEEL PROCESS IS
INVENTED BY. PROFESSOR
( Continued rum ua;i- I.)
Dr. Patrick said a steel mill in
Fngland is using the process suc
cessfully and that the United
States Steel corporation has plans
under way to install the new sys
tem in ne of its plants, that a
New England company is manu
facturing refrigerator cars based
upon the use of silica gel. and
that I ho Paulshoro, N. J., plant of
the Standard Oil company is us
ing tne new material in the re
finement of petroleum.
Silica gel is made with water
glass and acids. It forms a sub
stance wtnen resembles coarse
sand, but contains innumerable
pores so fine that they cannot be
;een under the best microscope
Prom the absorbent qualities of
he substance he estimates that
.urfaee of these pores in one gram
nf silica gel would cover half an
tcre.
Dr. Patrick said the new prod-
i t would also make it possible
o obtain gasoline from natural
?as at slight expense and benzine
rom coke oven gas. These uses
by no means exhaust its possibili-
ies, he said.
In the manufacture of steel, he
aid, silica gel had increased out
put 10 per cent and decreased the
ost of coke 15 per cent.
