A BEAUTIFUL BURGLAR

The flash of a face, a puff of breath, and the candle, suddenly entinguished, choked him with it's reek. Rigid he stood, peering into the engulfing darkness. every fac ulty keenly alert, until there stole to him vague rustic of stealthy movement. Dropping the candle stick, he leapt-to grasp draperies that tore in his fierce clutch-to hear faint cry, stumbling fall.
 Uttering a smotiered exclama- ton, he started backwards to the door, locked it, groped feverishly for another candlestick, took out finder box and struck a light.

And was it, in deed, the face of an evil man? In puckered brow, grim mouth and indomnitable chin was there not an air of latent power-and more, a hint of something nobler?

 She viewed him serenely, from his disordered wig to muddy riding boots; his sombre eyes deep-set be- heath thick, black brows, his domi- nant nose, the sardonic bitterness of curling lips, the grim line of jaw; middling tall man, all lean strength and supple poise despite the careless slouch of broad shoul- ders.

DELINQUENT TAXES
MAY AID SCHOOLS
New Law May Result in Suf-
ficient Collections to Allow
Requested Increase.
BY LESTER INsKEEP.
Staff Correspondent of The Star

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va. March 2s.-Through the
new law which permits the common
wealth's attorney to bring suit for the
collection of delinquent real estate taxes
and the efforts of Freeland Chew, COL
lector Of delinquent taxes, it should be
possible to raise sufficient funds for in
creased school needs without resorting
to a raise in the present tax levy, 1t was
said yesterday.
Criticizing the method of tax collec-
ton that has permitted real estate taxes
Of more than 100000 to remain un-
paid for number of years, this Of
fetal said that 1t would be possible to
reduce the rate instead Of increase It.,
been forced on these taxes Just as soon
as they became delinquent.
In addition to the real estate taxes
there are now unpaid nearly $4,000 in
personal property taxes. Since he
started his work year ago, Chew has
collected approximately $4,000.
The $4,000 increase requested by the
school board Is, in comparison to the
delinquent taxes due, a very small
amount.
Because of the suits recently filed by
commemorative Attorney William G..
Cloth, a number of land owners. many
Of whom inherited their properties from
former residents and have never made
any effort to pay the taxes on them,
have called at the courthouse and ex-
pressed their desires to make an I'M
mediate adjustment.

TATT0OING CONFINED

NORFOLK, Va. LAo).--The popularity
Of tattooing is waning. This is the
opinion of the needle and ink artists

"Tattooing has seen its best days"

Russia was tattooed and there was a
time when many society folk took TO

to sailors"
Designs of wide variety adorn the

girls heads. representative Of many
races; caricaturesi vignettes of clumsy
steamers sinking in heavy seas; reli-
gious images; arrangements of hearts
and doves with the word mother" or

ties; butterflies and battleships.
The veteran needleman believes
people get tattooed because they are
still savages underneath, and they like
to get themselves up to look pretty
He says, however, it is lust sort

RICHMOND, Va, March 29.-The

$685., 900 during the last fiscal year on
the defective, dependent and delinquent
classes, or about one-sixth of the

ing a total of $685., 28455. This sum.
it was pointed out. Is exceeded only in
two other fields of government, these

cies, while private organizations report

Tax Problem in Prince

UPPER MARLBORO. Md, March
2o.-Plans for the park development Of
Prince Georges County under the direc-
ton of the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission will not
be lnaugurated this year, although the
county commissioners have given def
mite indications that they hope some
day to carry out park developing pro-
ject.
The commissioners Signified their in
tention of postponing developing park
plans in the county for at least another
year on Monday when. in signing the
annual levy. they again failed to in
crease the apportionment for parking
and planning. The levy for 1929 Will
remain as it was in 1928 at cents per
$500.
5000 Is Available.
Definite indications that the county
heads have no intention of abandoning
the park projects sponsored by the plan
ming commission IS seen In their effort
to have the coming ordinance amended
in such a way - TO give them greater
authority in the physical development
OF the county.
In spite of their best efforts. and even
in spite of the fact that the levy Itself
was really cut, it was necessary TO IN
crease the tax rate cents.
The park plans which the Maryland
Commission will eventually apply to
Prince Georges County form integral
parts Of the regional program suggested
by the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, which was framed for
the purpose of caring for the ordered
Washington region.
The projects suggested include the
extension of Rock Greek Park toward
Rockville in Montgomery County and
the extension of the Anacostia Parks OF
the District of Columbia up the North
west branch and the Eastern branch
in Prince Georges County toward Bal
tin1ore.
The Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission has $4,000
available from the funds of the State
of Maryland for expenditure in the
purchase of park areas in Prince Georges
County.
Boulevard Planned.
The money may be partially applied
to the purchase of rights of way for
riverside drive along the upper part of
the Anacostia River, If plans contem-
plating the extension Of the road from
Hyattsville to Bladensburg, to connect
with the park development Of the upper
part of the Anacostia River within the
District of Columbia are put into effect.
This plan would enable the motorist
coming into Washington to drive di-
rectly south into the city instead Of
turning right at the Peace Cross at
Bladensburg He would pass east of
Fort Lincoln Cemetery and along the
River road, pass the National Arbore-
tum, now in progress of formation at
Mount Hamilton, finally reaching Fiji
tenth and H streets northeast, along
an extended Maryland avenue.
The proposed parkway bordering the
drive would cross the river frontage Of
the National Training School for Boys
At Bladensburg the landscaping would
be carried out in such way as to pre-
vent the periodical floods there.
