PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
Last Words

WHEN woke this morning and thought
w of the coffee had to make hoped out
of bed SO quick that skidded and fell over
Rowdy and we both laughed, he with his
tail and I with my voice. Then I washed
my face and hands and put the coffee on and
stirred up the pancakes that we are going
to have all the rest of our lives. Before my
father came home from his night watching
Mr.. Carpenter knocked at the door and
wondered who had been lying about me-
He said, PATSY, Mrs Carpenter has been
hurt badly in an auto accident | said,
For cats sake hope you don't blame me
for that" He said, "She asked me to ask
you TO come and see her this morning" I
said. TELL her that's all right, but | must
get my fathers breakfast" He said, please
come right away" So l turned out the
fire and went with him.
He opened a door for Rowdy and me to
20 in a room by ourselves and there was
Mrs. Carpenter lying on the same bed they
had Wilbur on the day he got shot full
Of powder. She said, Patsy, / am going
to heaven and be an angel and / do not
want to go to heaven and leave any mis-
understandings here You have been
very bad little girl and I suppose you al
ways will be, but j want you to know
that my soul is at peace and that forgive
you for everything you have done" l said
For cats sake, what have l ever done?"
Sne Sdlu w e 30 Illlo uetdllS at d
time like this. You know what you have
done"
/ said, "Well, I like that, when you are
the meanest woman on the street and sit out
on your porch all the time to keep good
little girls from being played with. Who
told you that you are going to die and go
to heaven?" She said, 1.-The doctor told
me that am going to die and the minister
told me l am going to heaven, as ! should
after the life / have lived" ] said, "The
doctor may be right, but I'll bet all I've
got that the minister is wrong, What kind
of a place do you think heaven is anyhow?
Do you think 1t is place where a hatchet-
faced woman can sit on her front porch
and order the little angels to keep off the
clouds and not touch the setting sun and al
ways to wipe their feet and not dare to
play with her little angels? l should say
mott"
She just lay there and looked at me and
said, you need good spanking. l should
think your mother would turn over in her
grave You little savage if were not
dying l would attend to your case" So
stuck out my tongue at her and went out.
The doctor was on the porch talking to
doctor started away when / did and so l
went to his auto and said, ''Is she dying
sure enough. mster?" He said, "Why, no,
nothing like it. She has merely had a
shaking up So he went away and / went
back and told Mr.. Carpenter that | was
sorry for him. He said, what for? She
is not going to die" 1 said, That's the
reason"

JOHNSON URGES PROFIT
TAX OF 80 PER CENT
California Senator's Amendment
Due for a Vote in
Senate Today
HAS OTHER AMENDMENTS
Forty Per Cent Assessment Will Be
Asked for if Higher Tax Is
Defeated
WASHINGTON. Sept. I

Senator Hiram johnson, of California,
speaking his amendment taxing war
profits up to so per cent, this afternoon
threw all the vigor of his oratory In the
final plea for the conscription OF war pronts
to pay for the war
Senator johnson made II clear at the out
set that he was aiming directly at money
coined out of conditions created by the war
and that he did not propose to interfere
with normal peace time earnings. They
should be taxed under other provisions he
said. He emphasized his impatience with
tine argument for delaying application of
the heavy war profits tax until later in the
war
England is levying so per cent" he
said. "And yet we are so tmid that we
would take only 81 per cent despite the
fact that we are incurring $4,000 100000
of obligations for the first year of the war.
What do they want us to wait for? Until
the end of the war when there will no
longer be war profits? Why wait? You
didn't wait to take the men and the women
of this country and to break hearts and
break bodies and scatter them to the four
corners of the world
SEES NEED OF BIG TAX
Germans newspapers and people have
said of us that we have not the courage
to take huge war profits, and that our
corporations never viii volunteer them
They are saying it is n dollar war with us,
and that our heart is not in 1t. L say our
great weapon Is not our man-power alone,
but our man-power plus our money.power.
II we do what we should do here today we
will answer those who so scorn us"
The johnson amendment is due for vote
today. If defeated johnson will offer
another amendment taxing profits about 10
per cent He will press on. If necessary TO
seal as low so per cent. The Finance
Committee, confident of beating Johnson and
Borah's followers, believes 40 per cent is
enough tax on war profits, because individ-
ual incomes are taxed by the bill at rate
higher than that in effect in any other coun-
try.
The Johnson-Borah crowd says the COM
mttee will be forced to raise its proposed
profits tax even If the wealth conscription-
lists don't get what they want
LA TOILETTE HAS AMENDMENTS
La Toilette is waiting only for action on
the johnson group of amendments before
jumping into the fight for eight amend
ments evying fiat tax on war profits of
from IS to 72 per cent.
Division in the ranks of those opposing
the committee bill has stirred such conf
dence among the wealth conscripton foes
that they now predict the measure as finally
adopted will show virtually no change from
the committee draft. This would include
consumption taxes on tea, coffee and sugar,
but big fight will be waged to eliminate
these.

There is also another class of oyster that
does not observe "Oyster Lent" in the
orthodox manner. This IL the disspated

before retiring, and ends up by getting
picked" He is then "jugged" for dis.

the mast refined circles and anything goes.
This country's war prosperity has had
its due effect upon the oyster world The
cost of bell boys to arouse the oyster from
his winters nap is far higher than a year
ago. The wages of the Wallets to prepare
the oyster for his parties, and the ticket
scalpers' profit is soaring skyward accord
ing to latest reports. The stylish hotels

completes his course of instruction at the

Arsenal Commandant Says Care

Pershing's oversee troops for use against

factured by the Frahkford Arsenal and the
commandant, Colonel Montgomery, de-
clared today that carelessness played no
part in the slip-up. Thousands Of rounds
of cartridges have been found to be de-
fective.

I'VE do not talk about affairs of the

priation for the arsenal, it may vote
against it,"
These defective cartridges are not an
entire loss, according to dispatches from
Washington. The shell, bullet and powder
can be used again. The only loss is the
primers, the labor Of original manufacture
and the wasted shipping facilities. Even
after the return of ammunition sent to
France, the War Department annouces that
