(lliiet* Offender?? By EDNA M.IIIHHAI.I, (C??yTi|ht, IU4, By Th? AinnN) New York. Jan. 6.?The eternal quest tor excitement, springing from the school day love of break In* a rule and tho "kick" of get-i (Ing away with It. has led morel than half of the person? ??nt?>rinv America from abroad during the'l , last 12 months to engage in smug gling?as an Industry, art ?,r pas time. To Klip past the . uxtoins lines with something under rover , has come to be the greatest frame on earth-*?played most rrequ? inly by wealthy travellers with no Idea of being dishonest, but tilled with the love of "sport." (Nineteen twenty-four has been the record year for smuggling, ac Cal and innocent. It has also en the record year for "catch ?? by the shrewd inspectors who for each home coming vessel , at New York's steamship piers. Too wide a ?mile, too willing a manner, too anxious a look or a hesitating answer has turned the game in fnvor of the authorities. During the past year tens of thousands of Amerie&ns have re . turned from abroad. More than . half of that number have carried. 1 tucked away In some odd corner of a suit case or trunk, some few things beyond the official allot ment that do not appear on their ?- declaration lists. The large per ? centUge have done It "Just for the ? fun of putting something over"? IfMlUii "perfectly sure that t'ni *> Cle Sam would never tnlss those ? few dollars In customs." And a jr goodly number have been uncon r scious smugglers who have not k-Understood the rules of the Im .r porting gttme. */ The ladles togged up in hr.nd jj.- some furs, pearlc, diamonds and ^ silks are the most frequent of \ fenders. The better known the I pame, and tho more extensive the [ millions behind the traveller, the f Inore likely there Is to be "some i thing hidden." according to offi cials. The rich folk know a "lil ftle fine." if they should be caught. J* won't matter. Those who have II scrimped to make their trip can't Cffford an extra cent and so pay all they owe to avoid other bills. E Christmas, with Its attendant fe^ush for home by travellers brtng expensive giftsL always puts ?more gray hairs til the customs ^Officials' heads. 5 Silks In mattresses, narcotics in i olive oil, diamonds In soap, pearls " in tooth paste and other gems In 0 cavernous teeth?these are a few ? of the dally finds of the corps J wortling under Frederick J.

Frequently she J* wears it for the first time as she ? leaves the ship?to avoid declar k ing It as new. One opera singer. (? entering a few days ago. came ? trooping In with 58 trunks. ? about two third of whose new ?on to tents she had figured to declare. * The average society woman car * rles at least 20.

Is duty free, and troop away look F jng like the days when hoopsklrts were tho rage, have to learn and per- ' Recently a young man. filled with, righteous honesty and touched up with unholv llaoor. as sured the inspector that ho "had declared it all." Waxing c ?nfi denfal, he proudly boasted, "and you ought to see the gift for my tlttlo girl"?whereupon he of fered for unofficial Inspection a pearl necklace that must have been the pride of the whole oys ter family. "That Isn't on the list." re marked tho official. L/* "Why. that's to be n gift" the Kjour.g man replied.
