Soop SnorIs Traffic
BY Edqor Rice Burroughs

MILWAUKEE, R.-Police got q
lesson in super salesmanship today
and retaliated with q lesson of their
own-in sales resistance.
Investigating a traffic tieup that
extended four directions from busy
downtown intersection, two detec-
tives left their cars and walked
more than a block before reaching
the center Of the jam.
There they found soap sales
man, a box of wares under each arm,
in the middle of the street admins
tering sales talks to each passing
motorist.
He rang up mo sale" and accom-
panied the detectives to the station.

After her wedding in Colombo.
Ceylon. Mrs. George Lamont Watt
admitted that live cobra had been
found in her cabin trunk during
her voyage to Europe last July to
buy her trousseau. AS Miss Anthea
Hollick, she had previously aroused
the Ceylon natives by posing for a
photograph sitting in the lap of a
sacred statue of Buddha, which they
said def1led the statue. The man
who took the picture is now her
husband. During the wedding cere-
mony a man attempted to incite the
watching crowds by exhibiting a re-
production Of the photograph, but
police seized the picture and tore
It up.

let that slip out.
Prickly Porky dropped a piece Of
bark right down in Busters face.

you will enjoy it,"
Peter Rabbit laughed right out

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS,

Buster Bear looked up to the top
Of the tall tree where Prickly Porky
was contentedly chewing a strip
of bark. Come down." roared Bus
ter. Come down, you prickly nui-
sance, that may shake you out Of
your skin!"
Busters voice was very terrible
to hear. All those who had gathered
around to see what was going on
backed off a few steps farther.
Peter Rabbit was there. OF course.
So was Jumper the Hare. Happy
Jack Squirrel and Striped Chipmunk
were on hand. Uncle Billy Postum
and Bobby Coon were right where

them. It's a mighty lucky thing for
you that can't get to that tree.
I would shake you until you hadn't
a spear left. Then perhaps you
would be more careful in the
future"
Prickly Porky looked down and
there was queer light in his
usually dull little eyes.
If that's all you want of me.
Buster Bear, I'll come down." said
he.

sharply every inch of the ground.
AS he walked he took great pains
to limp. Presently he saw what he
hoped to see. He saw several Of
Prickly Porky's little spears, his
quilts, you know. They had fallen
out of his coat and lay among
the leaves at the foot of the tree.
"Oh, I would come fast enough
but for one thing" he said, glaring
up at Prickly Porky. I've got one
of your little spears in one of my
paws now, and I don't intend to
get any more. My feet are pretty
big and if I should come close
enough to that tree to start to
Gimp it, I'm afraid that I would
almost certainly get another Of those

Wood Mouse, Sammy Jay, Blacky

curious circle, because, you know,
all the smaller folk were where they
were sure the larger folk could not
catch them.
Prickly Porky kept right on eat
ing, just as If he hadn't heard a
word. Buster Bear might have been
miles away for all the notice Prickly
Porky took of him. This made Bus
ter angrier than ever. His two little
eyes fairly glowed with rage.
If you don't come down I'll come
up after you," he roared. Then once

automobile described therein has
not been stolen. Although the lien
Is mentioned on the certificate
wherever the Department Of Vehi-
cles and Traffic knows about 1t, it
distinctly states that since the de-
partment is not an Office Of record
there is no guarantee on the lien.
Because Of this situation 1t Is en-
tirely possible for innocent third
persons TO suffer considerable em-
barrassment, inconvenience, and loss
of money.
Here is what Richard J. Murphy,
manager OF the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association has to
say.
/. The Department of Vehicles
and Traffic, Washington, D. c.,
during the calendar year Of 1887
issued 91,597 certificates Of title, and
liens appeared upon 61.5 per cent
or 56,392. In the same period In
1888 5000 certificates Of title were
issued and liens appeared upon 527
per cent or 39050 of them.
2. At the present time, the record
OF chattel mortgages, deeds of trust
and conditional sales contracts to
be of valid notice to third persons
must be recorded in the office of the
recorder of deeds of the District of
Columbia, who charges a fee of
S1.50 for recording, and a like sum
for releasing. In view of this high
charge plus the time involved in
sending or taking the papers to the
recorder of deeds Office and the fact
that less than per cent of the
liens that are now recorded are
motor vehicles are released, a large
number of firms who are engaged
In financing motor vehicles in the
District of Columbia do not record
their papers covering transactions,
but set up on their books as q re-
serve the sum of $1.50 for each
transaction; and then in the event
OF the property getting into the
hands OF an innocent third person,
they simply charge any loss they
sustain against the reserve.
3. 1t is my honest and sincere be-
lief that the recorder of deeds In the
entire year of 1887 did not record
more than $4,000 papers covering
liens on motor vehicles, and did not
release more than 100; consequently
the revenue that the District of
Columbia received was $18,150. One
OF the reasons for small number of
! releases Is due to the fact that the
average purchaser of a motor We
hicle after he has paid off all of the
lnstallments will not spend $1.50 for
the releasing of the lien.
A.. know for an absolute fact
that the Department Of Vehicles
and Traffic could become an office of
record with additional personnel
cost OF about S15,0OO I also know
that they could prof1tably record a
lien for Is cents and release it for
the same amount. It is my recon-
mendation that there should be a
charge of so cents for the recording
OF lien and no charge made for
the releasing, and make it manda-
tory that every lien must be re-
leased; IN other words, there is COL
lected sufficient sum at the time
the lien is recorded to pay for the
cost of releasing.
5. At the present time the GER
tiflcate of title on motor vehicles
issued by the District of Columbia
is nothing more than a guarantee
that the automobile described there
IN has not been stolen.
