LIQUOR SMUGGLING TAXES INGENUITY But Tourists Returning From | Canada Indicate Americans Are “Slick.” 4 @pecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, July 20.—Notes on l visit to Rous's Point and the Canadian | border: A big banner flaps in the breeze above | Lake street, near Stats. In white lett:r- ing, zgainst a blue background, is the legend, “U. S. Customs.” the street is the Rouses Point Kandy Xitchen; directly oppsite is' the cus- toms office. It is there that motorists driving down from Montreal, must stop and have their cars ransacked. Game Seems Fascirating. The little game of taking, or trying to take, Canadian botti-d goocs past the inspectors at the border town is one that seems to prove endlossly fascinat- ing to Americans who go holidaying in | Ninety per | the Province of Quebec. cent of the motorists who return to the States via Rouses Point go in for liquor smuggling. This smuggling is g2nerally of the piker variety. Sometimes a car | Wwill have a single bottle tucked away in th> lid of the rumble seat, or per- haps two or three. Motorists match their wits and their ability to hide their con- Yraband cargo against the sleuthing tal- ents of the border inspectors. When a customs man feels that he's really chal- | 1d the law generally ectors know all the tricks. Are Ingenious Race. The little hide-and-seck game to which Lake street has become Accus- tomed strengthens the impression that mericans are an ingenious race. The genuity of back-from-Canada New orkers in the their commission stores products is matched by the inspectors’ zeal in root- ing out bottles which have been so painstakingly concealed. Most of those who really slip something past are those who have that innocent look: the customs office’s grade A search. Some motorists strap_bottles to the | chassis; others secret them under the hood, or in dummy cusnions, or under the seat, or fasten them to the dash- board. Others leave them in their bags and take a chance. Often an inspector will take the engine apart in his effort | to unearth one bottle of Pommery Sec, but will leave the bags untouched. Darkness, it has been found, doesn't frustrate the Government searchers. They all have fluhllghys and good ones.
