By the Associated Press. ! ‘The diamond squad of the United Btates Customs Service, alert watchers of the New York water front, made the National Treasury richer by $664,564 in the 1930 fiscal year. The annual report of this superdetec- | tive group, just received by Commis- | sioner F. X."A. Eble of the Bureau of Customs, showed 118 non-commercial selzures, for which $453,397 was collect- ed in fines and $33,748 in merchandise not redeemed. It showed 16 commercial seizures, petting merchandise valued at $115,- 559. An.item of $61,860 was added for recoveries made in other districts on in- formation furnished by John W. Rob- erts, chief of the diamond squad, and his wary men. The previous year & total of $732,520 was collected from these sources. Smuggling Grew After War. | Rising in the wake of the World War, syndicated diamond smuggling had assumed such proportions by 1928 that organized -legitimate diamond dealers and the American consul gen- eral at Ant , center of the industry, united in testifying to tariff commit- tees that one diamond was smuggled into this country for every diamond that went through customs. George W, Messersmith, the Antwerp consul general, testified the syndicate was 80 firmly entrenched and so sure of results. it ished security for safe delivery equal to the value of the dia- mond. Five or six smuggling brokerage offices operated openly in Antwerp, he sald, and honest diamond dealers were “crowded to the wall.” U. S. Buys 80 Per Cent. *Before 1914, Russia, Central European nations, India and the Orient were heavy purchasers of diamonds, but war out those markets. Prosperity’s turned to the United States, and her citizens became purchasers of 80 cent of the gems. w;h 1913 the diamond duty was raised from 10 per cent ad valorem to 20 per cent. Smugglers discovered they could operate profitably on a 6 to 8 per cent lon th a product so con- venient that *$10,000 worth could be carried in an inoffensive-looking foun- tain pen."

Regards Prohibition Law Greatest Problem of U. S. People Today. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. ‘The last rung on the ladder of legal practice was attained Monday by Mr: Alean B. Clutts of Detroit, Mich., when with 19 masculine “comrades in law," she was admitted to the Supreme Court of the United States upon the occasion of its opening session. Mrs. Clutts is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Detroit and has practiced her profession in every classified court in the State of Michigan. More than 16 years after she had left school, dur- ing which time she took a prominent part in the social and civic activities of Detroit, Mrs. Clutts entered upon her law studies at the university. “My civic work,” saild Mrs. Clutts, “showed me how often women and chil- dren needed legal help and yet were financially unable to obtain that help. It was principally with the object of | helping women and children that I took | up the practice of law. More than half of my cases are taken gratuitously,” she added, “and in all the years I have practiced I have never lost a civil case.” Holds Prohibition Failure. Mrs. Clutts from observations made throughout her own State, believes that prohibition has proven a failure. “The argument is frequently advanced,” she said, “that children are now cle and fed properly, whereas in pre-prohi- bition days, they were hungry and ragged. Persons who advance this al gument, lose sight of the fact that chil- dren are fed and clothed not because of prohibition, but because most prob- | ably their mothers are now in the in- | WoobpwARD 10" L™ F anp G Strrers These Are Fashion Favorites of ter than invisible Zemo Always keep this family antiseptic on hand. | Use it freely.

I also believe that their husbands should be made to support them.” Favors Adopting Children. Mrs. Clutts strongly advocates child- less married couples adopting children. “1 have found,” she remarked, “that people_hesitate to adopt children for | fear of how they may grow up, believ- ing that undesirable inherited traits may develop in the child. Inherited tendencies rarely cause harm, if the environment of the child’s upbringing is the proper one. My observation has been, that in families with children of their own, where another child has been adopted, the adopted child shows more gratitude toward parents than the for Coast Guard. Four more destroyers have been turned over to the Coast Guard, the Navy Department announced yesterday, and there will be used in rum-running activities off the Atlantic Coast.
