EUROPEAN CUSTOMS
MEN SEEK CURRENCY
Money Inspectors Active at
Every Frontier.
Vienna.—It used to be—back before
the world economic nightmare begun—
that your baggage was thoroughly
searched and mauled over every time
you crossed a European frontier,
which was every few hours in this
neck of the woods, writes William
Shiver in the Chicago Tribune.
Not any more.. Today, it's your
pocketbook the frontier officials want
in tlie scramble for your money—es
peelully if It Is ’‘gold” money, that Is,
dollars or francs—they have forgotten
about your luggage completely.
In Germany and the states of cen
tral Europe ami the Balkans it lots
become a grave offense to have one
of them with more than a little pocket
money on you. Only with‘a special
permit from the national bank or a
special stamp in your passport show
ing how much yon have brought in
(which most frontier guardsmen con
vcnently forget to give you) can you
get by with as much ns you brought in
or indeed with enough to last you *n
the next capital.
Side Step Czech Border.
1 recently ran the gauntlet from Bu
charest to Berlin. I crossed three
frontiers, the UumanianHungarian,
tlie Hungarlan-Austrlan, and the
Austrian-German. At tlie last, going
from Vienna to Berlin, It would have
been shorter to go via Prague. But
that meant meeting Czech officials
coming in and going out and ttiose
with business to do had been duly
warned that the inspection of one’s
purse in Czechoslovakia was some
times very severe. One frontier
skipped may have meant days and
money saved, not to mention trouble
The Orient express coining from
Bucharest to Budapest reaches the
Rumanian-Hungarian frontier at 8:15
a. m. Since It is an all sleeper train,
many passengers are attempting to
sleep at that hour. The Joke is on
them as It was on me, because I was
trying to sleep, too. ,
There were loud hangs on the com
partment door. Swift kicks from

couple of uniformed officers behind
them crowded Into the tiny compart
ment. I told them I didn't have any
thtng to declare, but that they could
take a look at my bags and a type
writer If they wished to. They didn’t
wish to.
‘‘Your purse,” shouted one—in Ger
man.
“Your purse,” shouted the second
one—In Hungarian.
The third said If In another lan
guage, probably Rumanian.
Anyway, I got the idea. They want
ed ray purse.
“VATiiit’s this? A train robbery,” I
cried out sleepily in the first language
that came to me, probably a mixture
of English, German, French.
“No, It’s not a robbery. It’s cus
toms Inspection. Give us your purse.
We want to see your money," one of
them explained.
We jawed back and forth In what
Seemed like hours, hut probably was
only a few minutes. The train porter
came in to help us, adding a few new
lan ‘JPV’ which had not been Intro
du ^%>re. But we were no match
for f frontier men and finally In
sliejfs^xhaution I gave In, reached
for my pants, grabbed my pocketbook
and turned It over, glad for a chance
to rest and sleep even If my money
was gone.
Money Is All There.
That really is ail there Is to It.
After a while, about the time you are
really asleep again the officials come
back with your pocketbook. You wake
lip. Yon count your money. It Is all
there.
The train moves on a few miles.
The Hungarian officials climbed In.
Tlie attack was renewed. This time
I handed over my pocketbook meekly.
The officials did not bother me much
this time because l had the proper
stamps put on my Hungarian visa
when I left Hungary a few days be
fore.
So you Journey on through Buda
pest. And then you come to the Hun
garian-Austrian frontier. The old story
repeats Itself.
And so to Vienna. By this time
you are used to handing your pocket
hook over to the first man that asks
you for It. This Is quite a dangerous
frame of mind, because the streets of
Vienna swarm with singing beggars
who ask for your money.
Siicb are the pleasures of European
travel in these dark days. They are
hard on tourists or business men or
newspaper men. But they must be
great for smugglers. Nobody ever
thinks to look in your hags any more.

I T probably never occurred to
you that fish can climb ladders,
but since salmon has come into
so great prominence as a source
equal to cod liver oil for vitamin
A and approximately twice as
good as a source of vitamin D,
more trouble than ever is being
taken in the cultivation and
propagation of these fish.
The latest thing is fish ladders
which are enabling Columbia
River salmon to get over the great
Rock Island Dam across the river
near Wenatchee when they come
home to spawn after years In tho
ocean.
These ladders consist of a series
of pools twenty feet wide, ten feet
long, and rising one foot above the
next. The total rise is fifty feet
In a distance of five hundred feet,

Young Girl Dominated
by 16 Personalities
l/ondon.—A medical officer of a hos
pital it ere lias revealed the eerie storv
of a young girl in whom 16 person
alities struggled fur dominance. At
present she seems normal, but the ter
rible siftdow of being possessed hangs
over her.
Fntil the age of thirteen tlie girl
was comparatively normal. Then she
suffered an attack of meningitis. The
illness passed, hut tlie presence of a
strange “second self” Is said to have
manifested itself. Tlie girl began to
write backward.
After a few months her period of
normal life became shorter. She com
pletely lost her own personality, and
from time to time 10 different “egos”
took possession of her. The following
are a few of them :
She called herself “th'ng.” Her
mind was vacant, and she could not
stand. X
She called herself “Old Melt.” She
give in to fits of passion and was also
mischievous.
She went through a period of cata
lepsy and deaf muteness.
She became obsessed with seizures
of nameless terror as though haunted.
She called herself ’’good tiling,” and
was a docile child, although she could
not move her hands and feet.
In the Sixteenth stage she drew
beautifully, although she had never
been known to draw before.
Fall Planting
Several reuders ask whether rasp
berries and other hruuibles may be set
in fall. This is practical, and often
more convenient than in spring. After
tlie leaves have dropped in fall, a plant
is iu condition to set. The earth may
tie made very firm aronml tlie roots
when setting, which Is good advice
with regard to the handling of most
herbaceous plants and trees. One dis
advantage in fall setting is that in
very windy places they may be racked
around in winter before getting a root
hold. Firming the earth around the
roots helps avoid this. Cutting hack
as much as the tops will stand also
gives less- surface for the wind to
work on. A- forkful of manure scat
tered arontuf on the surface is use
ful, both as mulch and for fertility.—

Lespedeza Coming North
Korean tespedeza Is pushing Its way

is reseeding itself as far north as In

as the Michigan line. This legume has
Its chief value as a pasture crop on

a man can walk up the adjoining

Don’t Lose Breath
The fish don’t even lose their
breath an they rollick up the lad
ders, but the word “breath” re
minds us of the French word
“souffle.” Here is the recipe for
a delicious
Salmon Soufjli: Turn one 10%
ounce can of strained cereal into
a double boiler, and heat. Then
add the flaked contents of a oae
pound can of salmon and three
tablespoons butter. Add three
well-beaten egg yolks and salt to
taste. Fold in three stiffly-beaten
egg whites, and pour into a but
tered baking dish. Bake in a
moderate oven, 350°, for thirty to
thirty-five minutes. Serve at once.
