CHAPTER W.
ChiId-Raisinu on Mars.

After breakfast, which was an ex- act replica of the meal of the preced- ing day and an index of practically every meal which followed while I was with the green men of Mars, SOla escorted me to the plaza, where I found the entire community engaged in watching or helping at the harness ing of huge mastOdonian animals to great three-wheeled chariots.
 The chariots were large, commo- dious and gorgeously decorated. In each was seated a female Martian loaded with ornaments of metal, with jewels and silks and furs, and upon the back of each of the beasts which drew the chariot was perched young Martian driver. Like the animals up- on which the warriors were mounted, the heavier draft animals wore neither bit nor bridle, but were guided entire ly by telepathic means. This power is wonderfully developed in all Mar tians and accounts largely for the simplicity of their language and the relatively few spoken words exchanged even in long conversations.
 As the cavalcade took up the line of march in single file, Sola dragged me into an empty chariot and we pro- ceeded with the procession toward the

tie Martians scampered, wild as deer; being permitted to run the full length of the aisle. where they were cap tured one at time by the women and older children; the last in the line capturing the first little one to reach the end of the gauntlet, her opposite in the line capturing the second, and so on until all the little fellows had left the enclosure and been apprO- priated by some youth or female. As the women caught the young they fell out of line and returned to their re spective chariots, while those who fell into the hands of the young men were later turned over to some of the women.
 I saw that the ceremony, if it could be dignifed by such a name, was over, and seeking out SOla I found her in our chariot with hideous little crea- ture held tightly in her arms.
 The work of rearing young, green Martians consists solely in teaching them to talk, and to use the weapons of warfare, with which they are load ed down from the very first year of their lives. Coming from eggs in which they have lain for five years, the period of incubation, they step forth into the world perfectly developed ex- cept in size. Entirely unknown to their own mothers, who, in turn, would have difficulty in pointing out the ia thers with any degree If accuracy, they are the common children of the community, and their education de wolves upon the females who chance to capture them as they leave the in- cubator.
 By careful selection the Martians rear only the hardest specimens of each species, and with almost super natural foresight they regulate the birth rate to merely offset the loss by death. Each adult Martian female brings forth about thirteen eggs each year, and those which meet the size, weight and specific gravity tests are hidden in the recesses of some subter- ranean vault where the temperature is too low for incubation. Every year these eggs are carefully examined by a council of twenty chieftains, and all but about one hundred of the most perfect are destroyed out of each yearly supply. At the end of five years about five hundred almost per feet eggs have been chosen from the thousands brought forth. These are then placed in the almost air-tight in-

HIGHER EXEMPTION ON INCOME TAXES
 IS NOW PROPOSED
Dry Goods Men Would Raise Family Man s Minimum To
 S5,OOO.

Washington, May 2o.-An entirely new basis for levying national taxes, with exemptions on personal incomes substantially raised, was submitted to the Senate finance committee by C. B. Clark of Detroit, Who said he spoke for the National Retail Dry Goods Association, the National AssO- citation of Retail Clothiers,, the Ma tional Retail Shoe Dealers Associa- ton and the National Garment Re tailers' Association.
 Concretcly, the plan would divide all incomes into three classes, and would carry virtually the entire rev. cnue burdens. MT. Clark proposed raising the exemptions on personal incomes from the present $I,oOo for single persons to $2,5oo, and from $2,Ooo for married persons to $5,OOO, with an additional $500 exemption for each child or dependant, instead of the present $2oo. The witness also would lower the higher rates on in come surtaXcs.
 Mir. Clarl's plan divides all in comes, roughly ,as follows:
 CD Income from salaries and wages; (2) income from all business, individual, partnership or corpora ton, and (3) all other income which chiefly would be unearncd," and taxed higher On salaries and wages, the tax proposed is a normal rate of pc rccnt on the first $4,ooo above the exemption and per cent. on the remainder. The sccon dclass would be taxed 10 per cent. with an cxcmp- ton of $5,ooo. A normal tax of 10 per cent. is proposed for the third division, with surtaxcs ranging from per cent. on incomes between $2o,- 900 and $5O,ooo up to 6 per cent. on incomes of 5Oo,ooo or more.
 Adoption of the program, Mir. Clark said, would permit repeal of excess profits and excise taxes, many luxury taxes and the tax on transportation. Repeal of the latter tax, he said would be reflected noticeably in re- tail prices.
 In using the sales tax and the new basis for assessing income taxes, Mr. Clark contendcd the government would be collecting revenue on "a practical party of the proceeds of a profit dollar"

point by which I had entered the city the day before.
 Every one but myself-men, women and children-were heavily armed, and at the tail of each chariot trotted Martian hound, my own beast fol- lowing closely behind ours in fact, the faithful creature never left me volun- tarily during the entire ten years I spent on Mars.
 The incubator, as it proved, was the terminal point of our journey this day and, as the entire cavalcade broke in- to a mad gallop as soon as we reached the level eXpanse of sea bottom, we were soon within sight of our goal.
 On reaching it, half a score of war riors, headed by the enormous chief tain and including Tars Tarkas and several other lesser chiefs, dismOunted and advanced toward it. I could see Tars Tarkas explaining something to the principal chieftain, whose name was, by the way, as nearly as l can translate it into English, Lorquas Pto- mel, Jed; jed being his title.
 I was soon appraised of the subject OI LuOlE COuNorSdLlOu, dS, CdllllS lO SOla, Tars Tarkas signed for her to send me to him. I had by this time mastered the intricacies of walking under Martian conditions and quickly responding to his command I advanced to the side of the incubator where the warriors stood.
 As I reached their side a glance showed me that all but a very few eggs had matched, the incubator being fairly alive with the hideous little devils. They ranged in height from three to four feet, and were moving restlessly about the enclosure as though searching for food.
 was permitted to remain close and watch their operations, which consist ed in breaking an opening in the wall of the incubator large enough to per init of the exit of the young Martians.
 On either side of this opening the women and the younger Martians, both male and female, formed two solid walls leading out through the chariots and quite away into the plain beyond. Between these walls the lit

GETS $500 FOR
 LOSS OF AN EYE

Compensation of SIS a week for IoI weeks was awarded to Benny Kozlowski of New Britain for the loss of one eye in an accident while he was employed by Landers, Frary X Clark of that city. The man was paid all hospital expenses and $455.I4 back compensation. He had returned to work at the factory and sought to have a commutatiOn of his compensation to a lump sum to enable him to return to his native country, and the settlement of this claim was left in the hands of his employer with the right of appeal for him should the decision be unsatisfactory.
 John Rozycki of New Britain was denied compensation on a rehearing of his case in which it was found that there was no existing disability be- yond psychic condition. He was instructed 10 go back to work and forget about it." Dr. J. J. DOnOhuc of New Haven, compensation commits sioner for the Second District, heard this last case.

EMPLOYERS ARE URGED TO RESIST
 LABOR TO LIMIT
National Manufacturer Associa- tion Advised To Take Offensive
 For Open Shop.

New York, May 2o.-Manutacturers and business interests of the country are urged to take the offensive and resist the alleged attempt of labor leaders to dominate industry, i'll the report of the committee on industrial betterment, health and safety pre- sented here this week at the annual convention of the National AssOcla- ton of Manufacturers.
 "The leaders of labor cannot and apparently do not care to hide thelr determination to rule the industry ot this country" said the report, and aspire to govern 1t politically, as we'll. The business existence Ot the members of this association Is in volvcd in defeating their aspirations.
 The report charges that union labor spent $I,377, ,2o4 during the year end ing April 30, 1920, for administration, politics and strikes
 The committee urged the "opcn shop" movement be stimulated by the extension of plans for industrial rep rescntativcs, explaining:
 If plans for it's adoption arc wisely introduced, industrial representation should become the most approved method of dealing with labor. Such plans can be inaugurated where mem bers of labor organizations, as well as independent workers arc em- plOved."

seriously of discarding their horses
