Sir Launeelot saw his former little com

cried ont in a loud voice:
Welcome, comrade. Where have you
tarried this long while?"
"At the castle of my Lord of Carabas, -
replied PLss Junior, and then he sprang
up lightly behind the noble knight and
together they rode across the bridge and
out upon the Kings Highway. And
after they had gone for many miles they
came across Little Miss Muffet, who sat
on a tufret. But this time she wasn't
running away from the big, cruel spider,
who had sat down beside her.

The war had been his life for over three

his very life and live IN a lotus land

herself.

said slowly, "but do you think you
need to tell me what a wife and hus-

It was abominable of me, but she
didn't get angry. She only looked at me
with an expression that seemed almost
plying.
Mrs. Jimmie, there are soma things

She leaned forward earnestly. I felt

CHAPTER NJ.
Well, Just as Puss Junior was placing
in his tie the diamond pin, which the
dwarf had given him in the last story,
you remember, n gruff voice called out:
Il am a robber fierce and bold,
And 1 love to steal another mans gold.
SO give me that beautiful diamond pin
Or I'll put you in prison till you grow
thin.
Till you grow thin as wisp Of hay,
So hand me that diamond pin, 1 say"
But, do you think Puss Junior handed
that bad robber the beautiful diamond
pin? No, stree, he didn't. Instead he
drew his sword and said fercelyi
II am the son of Puss in Boots.
So beware Of my sword so bright.
Be of or III run you through and
through,
For I'm not afraid to fight"
And would you believe it, that robber
turned and fed, he was so frightened,
and this made the little owl laugh so
loud that he lost his voice and couldn't
say a word for a week. And the little
dwarf, who hal COsed the cave door and
locked il, came out and said:
You are indeed q brave cat. Stay
with me and protect my treasures and
1 will give you half"
But Puss Junior replied that he must
seek his fortune IN another way. for said
he: Il must win my treasure and not
have it given me-" Which is the right

Senator Harding completed his in

day with visit TO the Notifications at
its eastern entrance and calls on sew
eral military and naval stations in the
vicinity OF Cristobal.
Studies Problems in Detail
AS in the examination of the de-
fenses at the Pacific end Of the canal
Friday, the President elect took great
interest IN small details, asking many
questions to familiarize himself with
the strategic situation.
The fact that the Atlantic fortifica-
tions boast only one siXteen-inch gun,
aud That the largest guns on the Pa
cific side are fourteen-inch was
brought to the Senator's attention. He
was advised by military experts that
modern naval vessels equipped with the
latest Guns could OutshOOt thesa land
batteries and from the Pacific side
could even destroy the Mirafores locks
OF the canal without coming within
range of the American guns,
impressed by these details, the
President-elect is returning to the
United States with q determination to
so Improve the canals defenses as to
make them~as nearly impregnable as
possible.

Believes Single Men Will Be

Wants Immediate Change
Says People Need Relief

BE Taxation and Finance

United States Senator James w
Wadsworth, in passing through this
city to Washington yesterday, said
that he believed that the Federal in
come tax on small incomes would be
htted, and that single men would be
exempt up to $4,000 and married men
up to $4,000. At present, incomes
above $1,000 of single men and in
comes of married men above 1000 are
taxable.
Senator Wadsworth said that there
must be Immediate changes in the Fed
eral tax laws to bring relief to the peo-
pie and to restore the country to a
peace-time basis.
The chief concern Of the new Ad-
ministration in domestic affairs" he
said, Twill be taxation and finance. The
present tax laws are unsatisfactorv.
his is true of the excess profits tax.
which will prove to be q grave disap-
pointment as revenue producer.
Luxury Tax Unsatisfactory
Then, too, the so-called luxury tax
is hit-and-miss affair, and is neither
wise nor consistent Many Of the So
called luxuries that are taxed under
this law are really necessaries, and
these taxes may more properly be called
consumption taxes. There is consider
able discussion of tax on gross sale.
to supplant all other taxes on business.
There is general feeling among
Republican legislators that people of
small incomes should be relieved of the
exactions Of the Federal income tax
act. The disposition seems to be to
make the maximum Of exemption 81 600
IN the case OF single men and $4,000 for
married men,"
Legislators believe that such an
amendment by Congress would be fol-
lowed naturally by the passage Of a
similar amendment in this state,
where the state income tax law is,
with respect to exemptions, patterned
after the Federal income tax law.
Senator Wadsworth sad that the
heavy surtaxes now imposed should
be reduced in order to release money
prises.
ACO Many departments
SIT will take two or three wears 70
work out the problems of reconstruc-
tion," said Senator Wadsworth. "Much
will be done through departmental or
ganization. There are too many de-
partments and commissions, many of
them overlapping and duplicating the
work of others.
Then, too, there is too much un-
necessary centralization at Washing
ton, and halt to this sort Of thing
should be called. Simpliication, rather
than elaboration, should be the watch
word"
Senator Wadsworth said he believed
the budget bill would be one of the
first acts of the coming session Of
Congress. That, he said, would mark
the first step toward reorganization on
peace basis. Thousands of useless
jobs, he added, would be eliminated.
When asked about the League Of Ma
tions, the Senator sa d he hoped that

in III Months Represent
Over So, 1000 Loot;

ing Every Third Day

The crime wave that is sweeping
New York City shows no sign of re-
ceding. On the contrary, there is
every indication that it is growing
and that never before in the city
history have its criminals been so
daring.
Figures compiled by The Tribune
show that since the first Of the year:
There have been 325 hold-ups,
robberies and thefts, representing
property loss of more than S3,-
100000.
The unsolved murders alone IN
the greater city total more than
100 and killings have gone on at
the rate of one every third day.
Many Crimes Not Listed
The list Of these depredations
printed in to-day's Tribune Is in
complete, because the police have
failed to list many Of the crimes and
have admitted others only after the
victims made them public.
In view of these facts, The Trib-
une has undertaken an inveAigation
of the present organization of the
Police Department-its general
force, the patrolmen, whose duty it
is to prevent crime, and the detec-
tive bureau, to which is given the
task Of running down criminals.
This Investigation indicates:
First-That many sections of the
city, including the more important
ones, are under -policed.
Second-That the detective or
ganization built up by former
Police Commissioner Arthur Woods
has been broken up.
Shortage of Pafrolmen
The disclosure that the city ia
under-policed is the result of an III
quiry into the number of patrolmen
turned out on the midnight tour, ad-
mittedly the most important tour of
the day, as it embraces the favorite
working hours Of the criminal class.
This showed that in many instances
policemen are required to cover two
or three posts because Of the short
age of men. A detailed account OF
this phase Of the investigation is
printed to-day.
The breaking down Of the detec-
tive organization built up by Arthur
Woods includes such moves as the
shuftling Of the special squads and
the abolition of the branch detective
bureau system. This will be treated
IN detail in later article.
