 Guess I'll run out of gas about this time every night he grinned, glancing at her camera-like pro- file, with it's firm chin, it's per- feet mouth and it's slightly and saucily uptitled little nose.
 Once again those wide brown eyes, as clear and level as a boys, flickered over him irnpersonaHy. as though to classify him among the various kinds of men who es- saved wisecraeks on short acquain- tance. His towseled hair was short and Wavy. There was a faint smudge on his left cheek bone. His body, lounging easily in the thick upholstery, was rangy and broad shouldered, tapering to the waist like that of a boxer. His hands, large and capable looking, had been secured with sand soap and water, but still bore traces Of hours spent on balky machinery. No need to fear this man.

 A hot surge of rage went over Jerry like a flash of fever. After two years of fighting and flying in the kell-swept skies of France to be lined up on a peaceful Amer ican road like silly, cowardly sap!
 He was reckless and violent by nature, but knowing the deadly prowress of machine gun, he steeled himself to quiet He stepped out Of the car and helped the girl to descend. What a sport she was!

Delinquent Taxpayers
List of Them Will Be Published, in
Compliance with the Law

Town Manager John Foushee
announced yesterday that the
list of delinquent taxpayers
would be published for the fgdI
weeks beginning May 20. The
property of those who do not
settle their tax bills will be sold
at public auction Monday, June
13.
This procedure is required by
law. Some of the county and
municipal governments in North
Carolina have suggested that
the advertising of delinquents
be postponed, but Attorney Gen
eral Brummitt has rendered the
opinion that postponement would
be a violation of the act passed
by the 1881 legislature.
amy owner of property in
Chapel Hill who pays his taxes
by the 18th Of May said Mr.
Foushee yesterday, will there
by prevent his name from being
included in the published list.
If he pays after the publication
begins his name will be moved
from the list, but in that event
he will have to pay for the cost

Sad Joke
Baby Fed Salt by Tots to

IN months-oId Samuel Charlup
is fighting for his life today be-
cause some little children play
ing around his baby carriage
dropped a one-pound bag of salt
in it for him to eat, 80 he would
make faces"
Samuel ate handful after hand
full of the salt. 1t inflamed his
bronchial tubes, his larynx, his
left lung and trachea.
His mother, looking out of the
window, saw her child eagerly
downing the salt.
Rushing out, she found the bag
of salt broken open and spilled
all over the carriage covers.
Samuel was thirsty; he had
commissions.
The baby was rushed to the
hospital, where, despite the eff
forts of three physicians, it is
feared he will die.

This does not mean that
consolidation and elimination
of bureaus has been aban.
doned. Leaders in both houses
OF congress intend to con-
tlnue work on a far-reaching
reorganization, which they
expect will accomplish major
economies in the fiscal year
1884.
However, it is being recognized
generally that quick economies car
come only through slashing funds
OF existing bureaus and depart
ments.
Even if consultations are accom-
plished before the end of this ses-
sion, 1t will be impossible to pre-
dict accurately how much money
should be allocated to the new
agencies.

1t probably will be necessary to
make appropriations large enough
Tor any contingency and depend on
the consolidated bureau to return
excess funds at the end of the year
Such program would leave it
doubtful whether the budget ac-
tually had been balanced.
Representative Joseph w. Byrns
Dem., Tenn) pointed this out to-
day in connection with his plan for
uniting war and navy departments
in one department of national de-
Tense. The house expenditures
committee refused to report the bin
Thursday, but Byrns intends to
urge the economy committee to
do so.
"The bill is not intended to de-
crease the size of either the war or
navy department" says Byrns. ut
does not call for elimination of any
work done by either.
But putting the two under one
chief gives an opportunity for re-
ducing overhead, where there are
three recruiting stations in one
town. for instance, for reducing
civilian personnel, and for effecting
economies in purchase of food and
other supplies. 1 think the measure
will save $100,0000O0.
Cites Possible Savings
"But my bill merely creates new
secretary of national defense, and
gives him power to administer the
two departments as he sees fit.
think the measure would accomplish
economies in the coming fiscal year,
but we would not know the amount
until the end of the year"
Meanwhile, the increasingly ruth
less temper of the house was made
apparent in the first hour of voting
on the independent offices appro-
priation bill. No cuts were made in
the allowance for the President
penses, though considerable
criticism of his secretarial staff was
voiced; but an item of $4,000 for
completion of Arlington memorial
bridge here was eliminated. The
cuts continued as consideration of
the bill proceeded.

mittee is going ahead with its work
of looping off 10 per cent of what

of warnings from cabinet members,
Just made public, that no more cuts
