Washington, Dec. 19. (A. P.)
A detailed picture of federal pro
hibition enforcement machinery
long the Canndian and Mexican
Borders, the sea coast and Inland
wnterways was presented In tes
timony nt hearings by a house ap
propriations sub-commltce, made
public today.
Rum row on the Atlantic was
represented as "effectively scat
tered," the effectiveness of the en
forcement arm In the treasury de
partment as materially bolstered
and leaks nlong the two borders
as checked but not wholly plug
ged. Testifying as to border smug
gling, Ernest W. Camp, director
of customs said a day and night
patrol cut down the chances of
success, but that he did not "be

"When the year
la senr,
And the woods forlorn,
And the swallows have fled away.
When the erow in the draggled
fields of corn.
Hoarsely call through the day
Then Is the time we arc needing
cheer,
And that's how It is that we always
hear,
Ever eo faintly and far away,
When the year Is growing old,
The tinkle of bells on Santa's
sleigh,
And his shout on the air so cold.
And thut's the reason the reindeer

Scamper and caper and briskly
dance! -The
dreary old earth
Nccdti Sunta'a mirth,
And hearts grown eear
Need Christmas cheer,
And that's what brings Kris Krin-
Without fail, every year!
Tall Yarns
Joe Meek used to enjoy telling
of the time when he was in the
Pierre's Hole country where rend
ezvous of the trappers was held
annually. A terrific storm camo up
one day and chased Meek to the
shelter of a ledge of rock, but he
bad no sooner gained this ledge
than rattle-snakes in wtos, threee,
dozens and finally hundreds began
coming in to the shelter of the
oamo rock. Meek preferred. to ba-
tle the storm, and so mounting
rode swiftly and safely over and
through the snakes.
Historic Adventure
Dr. Mackay and Mrs. Barkley.
Tho historian who. has a passion
for the study of 'first things' must
necessarily take great interest In
the career and history of Captain
Charles William Barkley, a Brit
ish fur-trader who in the year 1787
made a voyage to the coast of the
Pacific Northwest.
Nothing Stirring
At this time there was literally
nothing stirring' in the Oregon
country, if wo except tho activities
of sea-enptnins along the coast;
Gray had not discovered the River
of the West. Lewis and Clark 'had
not so much as taken thought of
an jexploratlve westward overland
Journed. The era of which we are
speaking, was insofar as the Inter
ior of Old Oregon was concerned,
actually prehistoric Only that his
tory made by native tribes, time
lmmemmorial was extant, and this
was a history unwritten.

Mackey, a Surgeon
But the facts of the case, aa re
corded in Mrs. Bark ley's diary, are
that Mackey appeared alongside
the ship with the Indians in their
canoes, that he was dressed shabb
ily In dirty skins, and at first was
mistaken by the white woman for
a savage. Tho story given by the
wandering physician was that ho
was there for the benefit of his
health, and had a few years prev
ious to this time been set ashore
at his own request by the trading
ship, Captain Cook.
Apparently Dr. Mackey was in
good health and spirits. In fact,
so well did he like the comrade
ship of red inhabitants of the isle
that in 1780 he had actually re
fused a free voyage to England
by a sea-captain who wanted to
take Mackey away from his bar
barous associates. That the Indians
were fond of the white man was
probably tho result of the aid ren
dered them in this capacity of
surgeon, and also by reason of his
willingness to adopt the ways of
the aborigines.
An Eye To Business
Evidently the Baric leys and Dr.
Mackey struck up qui to an ac-
qualntnnceshiPn for history "records
that through the efforts of the lat
ter, the doughty fur-trader was
able to corner the fur market on
tho island, so that other sea-captains
who arrived In the vicinity
that season were virtually out-of-luck.

Why do so many women drive
e OAKLAND SIX?
Women choose the Dew Oakland Six in preference to nil other
cars in its price 'class, not only because it is more beautiful tod
comfortable, but also because it-is safer and easier to drive.
Threading through traffic in this car is a joy rather than a task.
Steering and gear-shifting are pleasingly free from effort. Oak
land's proven FourAVhecl Brakes respond to incredibly slight
pressure. Night driving is made simpler and safer by tne con
venient dimmer on steering wheel.
All of these features combine to make the Oakland Six the
favored car among women, just as its outstanding mechanical
advantages, including Air Cleaner, Oil Filter, Full Pressure Oiling
and The Harmonic Balancer and new prices 70 to '350 lower.

PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS
Cdnquerdr Of The- Mongolian Wilds
Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, who startled the
world a few years ago by discovering a nest of
dinosaur eggs ten million years old, arrived in
New York on November 9th from his Third
Asiatic Expedition under the auspices of the
s American Museum of Natural History.
Again he attributes much of the success of his
expedition to the astounding performance of his
five Dodge Brothers Motor Cars.
Following is a direct quotation from an official
statement .by Dr. Andrews upon his return to
America:
The Gobi Desert in Mongolia, is the most
extensive undeveloped and unexplored re
gion now left in the world. Until a few
years ago it was retarded by the impossibly
slow traffic of camel trains, the only means
of communication. -
But now it is being crisscrossed in every
direction by motor cars, or, more correctly
by one motor car, the Dodge. Sixty or
seventy Dodge Brothers cars are making
regular trips far into the interior of this vast
waste, bringing out loads of sables, precious
furs, wool and other products.
No other car except the Dodge ia found there
because we have tried it out on each of our
three expeditions and have had it demon
strated to our satisfaction that the Dodge
is the only car that will stand up under the
strain of the roadless desert and do every
thing we ask of it.
Few people have occasion to subject their motor
cars to punishment of this severity. It is reassur
ing, however, to know that in emergencies Dodge
Brothers Motor Car is built to meet the test
These dependable and sturdy qualities, also ac
count for the fact t1 ' more than 90 of all the
motor cars Do-' . . jthers have built during the
past eleve- ..vs, are still in active service.
