T got a notion, porter, to charge you with grand larceny or shoes, disorderly conduct, petty larceny of the shoe laces, hindering an officer of the law, delaying the administration of justice, vagrancy, gross negligence of duty, harbor- ing 8 notorious criminal-
 The sheriff became more red or face. The Negro's eyes rolled IT terror.
 The sheriff finally agreed to al- low the porter to get him the largest pair of shoes that could be purchased near the station. The cars would be in the shed for twenty minutes. The train wheez- ed to 8 stop and with a look Of extreme disgust on his face the sheriff watched the passengers file to the doorway. His blonde quarry was not among them.
 Rain was falling even with more fury and dripping from the huge ventilators overhead. Only one or two persons remained in the coach. The sheriff lit his cigar savagely and puffed in silence. He didn't even bother to go to the smoking compartment. His teeth bit into the cigar and 1t fell to the floor. He stopped and was about to pick the butt up. He saw trousers passing him in the aisle--but more than that he saw a pair of shoes. Not just shoes. Vast, Gargantuan affairs that only one man could wear; Sheriff Jones. It took slow wittcl Sheriff Jones fully a half | minute to realize the fact. Then nc sped down the aisle in his stock ing feet out to the rain-soaked platform until he collared a slim, masculine -attired person shuffiing ! in those shoes.
 Sheriff Jones leaped on the boy The cap fell off and revealed mass of blonde hair. Light blue eyes gazed into his. Then Sherin Jones realized 1t was a girl. He tugged at his pocket, drew out the picture of the girl he wanted. Then with an air of triumph he clasped handcuffs on her as she sobbed. A crowd gathered. The sheriff was babbling almost 1ncoherently.
 Look at my shoes. Ten sizes too large for her. Don't you know, young lady that no man nor wo- man nor beast can steal Lon Jones' shoes and get away with 1t? That's what the books call car dinal crime. How come, miss, you took my shoes?"
 The girl began sobbing as Sheriff Jones paved in her large purse and found the missing bank funds, all in large notes. Finally she said:
 "I took my brothers coat, trous- CTS and shirt but at the last min- ute when I got on the train for got I was wearing high-heeled shoes. I knew they would find me here in Chicago in that outfit so
 just had to get a pair of mans shoes.
 "I felt around In the dark and these I have on were the first l found. They're miles too big for me and terribly uncomfortable, too.
 Ugh. You can have them. I'd
 rather spend my life in jail than
 wear them another half-hour." Copyright 1895, The Chicago Daily
 News, Inc.

Bib, ambling Sheriff Lon Jones had never heard the expression, "Cherchez la femme" Ir he had he would probably have thought 1t was a new-fangled salad dressing his wife had got from the Tuesday Cooking Club. All he knew was that he was out to get his woman. The woman in the case that bothered Sheriff Jones at the present moment was pretty blonde absconding cashier of the Century Trust and Savings Bank of his home town. Thousands of dollars were involved. Jones was seated in the smok- ing compartment of a Pullman, en route to Chicago. His broad thumb tamped tobacco into his ill-smell- ing pipe. The hour was late and only the porter was up. Sheriff Jones was lonesome.
 "Got full house tonight, eh George?" he boomed genially at the porter.
 "Yas sah, we's full up. Young fellah jest took the last lower a way back"
 I'm sheriff of Barker county, Looking for young woman. Stole a lot of money. Here" said the sheriff, fumbling in his pocket for a photograph which he found among a wad of papers. Ever see a woman like this get on this train?"
 The porter squinted at the pho tograph and slowly shook his head.
 NO sah. She's right smart lookin, too, ain't she? Jest shows you never can tell"
 Sheriff Jones yawned, knocked the ashes from his pipe and saun- tered back to his berth. He had a hunch that the girl was on the train, but he, 6 small-town sher- fir, couldn't go jerking everyone from bed. Let it wait till morning.
 It was before dawn when the sheriff awoke. He dressed quickly and stalked to the washroom at the end of the car.
 When he trekked back to his berth in his stocking feet he recahed underneath for his shoes. He fumbled around in the dim light and then cursed. His shoes were not there. He looked in the little green hammock, under tho cushions, out in the aisle.
 "Porter! be believed with ris- ing wrath.
 The porter went into the differ ent coaches and Pullmans. But crestfallen he came back and an- nounced that the sheriff's shoes were gone. By this time the en- tire Pullman had been aroused.
 Sheriff Jones grew more wrath

full as the minutes passed.
 How can an officer of the law catch criminals in his stocking feet in the rain?" he challenged the porter.
 "'I's powerful sorry, sheriff and I feels bad" moaned the portre. Boss, there's a shoe store across from the depot and I'll run over and git yo' a pair of shoes tho minute we rolls in."
 The sheriff's wrath was mount ing. Do va think carry a dozen pair of shoes for these big feet of mine? Look at 'em, porter. Where do va think you're gonna get q pair to fit me at short notice? And that gal, if she's on the train, will be loose in Chi by that time.

THE famous Biblical story of the
 Deluge is carried over into stamp lore with Armenia's issue of 1920. on which Mt. Ararat is illus trated. It was on this snow-topped mountain, which rises 17,000 feet above sea level. that Noah, tenth patriarch in direct descent from Adam, brought his Ark to rest and started new civilization on earth.
 The series of stamps of which the Mt. Ararat design is one never saw actual postal use. They were printed in Paris. A large amount was lost on the way to Armenia, and the rest got to Armenia after the Bolsheviks had driven out the national government.

D. {. TAX DATA
NOW BEFORE
PRESIDENT
Comparative Figures For Other
Cities to Be Given In
Report to Congress

President Roosevelt has before
him today a mass of data on
taxes from various cities, which
he probably will send to Con
gress for use in determining the
amount the Federal Government
should contribute to the District
Of Columbia.
The information has been
made up by the Treasury De.
partment in the form Of large
graphic charts, and covers the
tax data in cities comparable in
size and finances to the District
Of Columbia.
40 Cities Studied
It is understood about 40 cities
have been studied, some larger
and some smaller than the Dis
trict. SO as to give middle"
view. This was the Presidents
intention when he gave the in.
structions to the Treasury.
The data went to the White
House from the Treasury three
days agG and are now in the
Presidents wire basket, where he
keeps papers waiting his atten.
ton. It is expected the data will
be made public soon.
Until the President sends the
information to Congress or makes
it public, the nature and trend Of
the information is known only to
a few officials.
Hazen Bares Problems
Several months ago the Presi-
dent was given an insight into
some of the Districts financial
problems by Commissioner Hazen.
Later, President Roosevelt looked
into the situation and came to the
conclusion that, to make an equit-
able decision. he should have more
facts relating to taxes and city in
comes and expenditures.
He asked Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau to obtain the
data, and a report was forthcom-
ing from the Treasury within a
few weeks; but the President sent
it back to the Treasury for GER
tain additional data.
This gave rise to a report that
the President had quietly dropped
the whole matter; but a week ago
the President personally stirred it
up again, the result being that the
report is now ready for Congress.
Has New Ideas
It is understood that when the
President sends this information
to Congress he may add some Sug-
gestions of his own on the methods
used in determining the Federal
contribution to the Districts
finances.
When the President first men
toned the study he indicated that
he was confused as to the proper
amount; and he referred to the
"hit-or-miss system" Of arriving at
9 lump sum or even percentage.
He preferred an "evaluated" tax.

HALT
OTE UPON
PINK SLIP
EaFoIIette and CouzenS Have
Proposals to Extend Tax
On Small Incomes
International News Service

A Senate vote on repeal of in
come tax publicity appeared long
way off today as friends Of the
pink slip" measure started drive
for higher Federal income and cor
poration taxes.
Senator Lafollette (PD Of Wis
conSin, author of the pink slip"
legislation, offered an amendment
to the repeal measure passed by
the House, proposing a new scale
of income taxes which would yield
260 million dollars. His amend
ment includes 2 per cent tax in
crease on all yearly income under
$4,000.
Senator Couzens (R. of Michi-
gan, who also favors income tax
publicity, said he will offer an
amendment providing for a heavy
excess profits tax on corporation
income. He estimated the tax
would yield 325 million dollars.
Senator Couzens' measure was
defeated in the Senate Finance
Committee yesterday by a vote Of
IL to S. The committee also de-
feated a substitute bill offered by
LaFollette for full publicity of in
come tax returns in place Of the
limited publicity called for in the
"pink slip"
This action was taken shortly
before the committee reported the
repeal measure favorably to the
Senate without a record vote.

UTILITY CURBS SAID TO COST INVESTORS $500 MILLIONS
W a.Ilace Urges
Imports to Aid
Farmers
international News Service

More foreign-made products
must be imported and domestic in
dustrial production must be
speeded to assure future prosperity
for the farmer, Secretary of Agri
culture Henry A. Wallace told a
House Appropriations subcommit
tee in hearings made public today
The limit Of increasing the
farmers income through crop re
Striction has about been reached
he said.
Would Aid Cotton
Increased imports are especially
necessary If the cotton farmers
are to continue to have market
abroad. Secretary Wallace as
serted. He added:
I'VE are not importing enough
stuff from abroad to pay for
the ordinary quantity Of exports
Of cotton.
I'VE have reached the con-
clusion, at the end Of this par
ticular year. that further action
along the line Of reducing pro-
duction will not greatly increase
the farmers share in the ma
tiOnal income"
Increased industrial production
in the nation, with cheaper goods
Is necessary to aid the farmer both
in increasing his buying power and
in providing a market for his
goods, Mr.. Wallace said. He
added:
II am very sure that, no mat
ter what Is done for agriculture
alone, true prosperity cannot
come here until there has been
q very material increase in the
output Of physical goods, in
duStrial goods"
A so per cent increase in indus
trial production would aid farmers
he added.
He suggested the farmers share
Of the national income, now 10.A
per cent, should be increased tt
about 13 or IA per cent. E.
Representative Cannon Angered
Angered by Mr.. Wallace's con
clusions. Representative Cannon
3D. Of Missouri asked if he die
not hold that I'VE people on the
farms may as well resign ourselves
to peonage" Mr.. Wallace denied
this.
The AAA cotton reduction pro
gram, Mr.. Wallace conceded, had
created a big problem with colored
and other share-croppers in the
South.
Southern planters, he said, are
beginning to hire labor and thus
do away with the share-cropper
who, under the AAA, must be
given a share Of the reduced cot
ton acreage.
Mr.. Wallace reiterated his op.
position to price-fixing for agri-
culture or any industry.
