piece before leaving the scene.
That night he told the folks how he
had had his pocket picked while help
ing stranger on a lonely road and
how he had dashed back and retaken
his watch. This recital, Of course, elic-
tied admiration for his heroic perform
ance. and he retired rather proud of
his valor He would tell the men at
the Office about his experience, and
thev. too. would applaud his courage.
The next morning while dressing he
happened to glance over the top OF his
chiffonier. and 10 and behold there
was his watch. Searching frantically
night before. he discovered the watch
he had taken from the man on the
road. Actually he had robbed the other
fellow.
When he left the house the night
before he had forgotten to take his
timepiece with him, and when he found
that 1t was missing Immediately sus-
pected the owner of the fat tire, who
gave up his own watch in the belief
that he was being held up.

with the restoration Of the watch to its
rightful owner Even though 1t may
not be true. it sounds probable.

FISCAL RELATIONS
IN CITIES STUDIED
Bureau of Efficiency Making

Statistics Of Is outstanding cities ~
the United States are being studied bv
experts of the Bureau of Efficiency in
the course OF their survey of the fiscal
relations between the Federal snd

conclusions have been reached, it was
said today, and none will be made pub
lie by the bureau itself.
The is cities. it was learned. com
prise that group of principal cities of
the country somewhat larger and some
what smaller than Washington. exclud-
ing the three largest. New York.

Rochester and Jersey City.
washington IN size falls between the
cities OF Buffalo and Milwaukee on
the list.
Officials of the Bureau of Efficiency
were firm in their statements TODAY that
the status of the study had not hy auv
means reached the stage where conclu-
Slons maye be drawn. A mass of ma
terlal has been collected not only from
the is cities and Washington. hut also
from the States of the Is large cities
as there are certain interlocking figures
between the States and cities. which
must be taken into consideration.
The experts in charge of the inquiry.
Herbert H. Rapp and Y. P. Simmons
are known to be adjusting their mass
OF material to draw up records of COM
paratlVe taxation, comparative receipts.
both from taxation, and from sources
other than taxation, and comparative
expenditures. One difficult question
being worked out through both State
and municipal figures is the problem
of adjusting records of what is called
in most States subventions. usually
consisting of moneys collected from the
taxpayers. paid into State Golfers. and
then turned back into the city funds
for local expenditure.
One OF the largest problems faced
by the bureau, of course, is the prin-
cipal question of trying to establish
here in this city the liability of the
Federal Government to the District of
Columbia government.
No Conclusions Reached.
Absolutely no conclusions on any ono
phase OF the many problems have been
reached. 1t was stated at the bureau
today. but ii is believed that steady
and satisfactory progress is being made.
The report. which was requested of
the Bureau of Efficiency by both the
Bureau of the Budget and committees
of Congress. will not be made public
by the Bureau of Efficiency. il was said
but will be submitted to the agencies
requesting it. The committees asking
for the report were the District of Co
lumbia subcommittee of the appropri-
ations committees of both Senate and
