many experimental La Sale cars-somc with
mileage totals in the six figures. But on the
date mentioned, the first ten La Sales of

him as he desiredI At that mo-
ment woman passed their table.
She was alone, and her dangerous,
silken grace had something danger
Gus in it.
Every man in the room was con-
scious of her. Yet only to Arthur
did she lift her eyes. To Diana's
surprise she nodded with faint,
half-reproachful sriile. Her eyes
suggested secrets. And Arthur
acknowledged her recognition with
the color deepening in his hand
some face. 1t gave Diana the
queeret feeling to see him looking
like that. Although, Of course, it
was nothing to her. Absolutely
nothingI
She pretended not to notice and
chatted gayly on. But it compelled
her to remember something she
thought she had forgotten. The old.

all she needn't be sorry for him.
He asked about Vivian.

'No, indeed. Vivian telephoned
my offices and asked me to be sure
to call you.'
did she give you my address,
too" Diana asked, coldly.
"She did. But don't let IL dis
turb you. I shan't come to see you
without being invited"
Diana was furious. She resented
Vivian's high-handed methods. Also
it completely spoiled any pleasure
she had felt in her evening with
Arthur.
1.-THE dinner invitation was not
your own idea, them"
"Of course it was. What's the
matter with you. Diana?"
II won't have Vivian drumming
up dates for me-" she complained,
childishly.
Arthur looked pleased.
Don't worry. Wild horses
couldn't make me invite a girl to
dinner unless I wanted to-"
His eyes wandered to the table,
where the mysterious lady was sit
ting alone.
Altogether it was an evening Of
surprises. Utterly different from
anything she had expected. He did
not mention her return. He did
not ask to accompany her home. AS
he put her into a taxi he said,

to find him reading a letter. AL
though he crammed it into his
pocket she knew instinctively it
must be from his wife. And it
dampened her enthusiasm almost as
if the other woman had been there.
1t was ridiculous the way she felt
about his studio. That was hers.
He had no business reading any
other wornan's letter there.
Smiling at her own idiocy she
greeted him eagerly. But her first
intuition was right. The letter was
an intrusion. The spontaniety Of
their greeting was dulled. Both were
uneasy and self conscious. And her
work suffered.

Diana's first impulse was to re-

NEW EASTERN SHORE BRIDGE
Measure Granting Franchise Provides
Special Tax ExemptiOns-Referred
to Legislators and Road Committee

Providing special tax exemptions, a
bill granting a franchise for the erec-
tion of bridge across the Chesapeake
Bay was introduced Monday night of
last week in the Maryland State Sen
ate by Senator S. Scott Beck, of Kent
county, Maryland. The measure was
referred to the Senators from Balti-
more, Kent and Worcester counties.
After they report, it will be referred
to the Committee on Roads and High
ways. The bill provides for the erec-
ton Of bridge from "that part of
Baltimore county known as Patapsco
rive neck to a point in Kent county
between Rock Hall and Colchester
Beach," with a driveway its entire
length of at least twenty feet and con-
tanning two draws. Erection of an
other bridge over the bay is prohibit
ed within ten miles of the proposed
structure. The State Roads Commits
sion is given authority to pass on all
plans for the span and to check on
building costs, having access to all
books, plans and maps of the bridge
company. The company is given the
right to sell, mortgage or transfer all
or any part of its property, including
all rights, powers and privileges. The
bill provides that twenty years after
the opening of the bridge the State
has an option of purchasing the
bridge at cost, after giving two
year prior notice of this intention to
the company. The cost would be de-
termined by agreement between the
State Roads Commission and the COM
pany and, in case of a failure to agree
by a proceeding in equity to be insti-
tuted by the State in the Circuit Court
of Baltimore county with the right of
appeal by either party to the Court
Of Appeals. Unless construction of
the bridge is started within two years
after the bill is adopted and complet-
ed within five years, the authority
granted would be null and void.

FILING FEE LAW DEFENDED BY
PIERRE S. DUPONT AT DOVER
DECLARES BEFORE STATE BUD
GET COMMITTEE, AIDS SCHOOLS
Law Should Yield S33O,OOO Annually
Big Gains Made During the Year
1000 Delinquents to Magistrates

Pierre S. dupont. State Tax Com
missioner, appearing before the joint
Legislative Budget Committee yester-
day said that the penalties imposed
for the non-payment Of the So filing
fee have been extremely severe. He
explained the need of his department
for the next two years. The state
ment was made in response to a ques-
ton from Chairman Hail. Mr.. dupont
said that many of those who had fail
ed to pay the filing fee did so because
of lack of knowledge of the law.
Mr.. dupont was accompanied by Ger
aid Montaigne, who has been his as
sistant in the work of the tax com
missioner's office. Many members of
the Legislature not members of the
budget committee as well as numer-
Gus visitors crowded into the supreme
court room where the hearing was
held to hear Mr. duPont's statement.
The State Tax Department is asking
for $92,985 for 1928 and S88,905 for
1929 and the governor has recon-
mended these sums in his tentative
budget. In 1926 and 1927 the depart
ment was allowed an appropriation of
$4,000. Mr.. DUPONT stated that he
took charge of the office in November,
1925, and in the first year expended
$4,000, most of which sum was for
salaries, the increase in this item
alone being $4,000. Prior to his as
sumption of the office there had been
no auditor employed and no accounts
had been audited for four years. They
now employ an auditor and he engag-
ed a bookkeeper and an extra cashier.
The other items of expense were for
extra clerical help. He said all the
records of the office are now in order
and available at any time. He said
their chief difficulty has been getting
a list of the taxables in the state.
There are 10000 residents over 21
years of age subject to the tax and
10000 have received notice that pay
ment is due. Of these 10000 have
actually paid the filing fee. When he
took charge he found there were 90,-
600 taxaxbles listed of whom $1,000
had paid the fee. Their salary list for
1928 as estimated in their budget will
be $73,660 and in 1929 $69, $3.50. There
is much to be done perfecting their Of
flee records and covering up past de-
ficiencies. There are, at present, T.
900 names in the hands of magistrates
for collection. He estimated the fill
ing fee will bring the state a revenue
of $330,000 and he declared whatever
has been expended for its collection
has been a handsome investment for
the state. He said they have found
the filing fee of So has rot been
handicap on very many taXables.
However, when taxable permits him
self to get four years in arrears then
the tax with the penalties becomes a
hardship. He said he would recon-
mend that any person partly a de-
pendent be exempt The present law
exempts only those who are totally
dependent.
