Tips.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
read in the Chicago Daily News an arti-
Gle culled from The Washington Star on
the matter of tips. I have not bit of
doubt that the first tip was gift by a
client who labored under the impression
that the employee had given him a par
ticular attention in preference to all others.
A striking instance is the raw recruit
''parvenue" at an extravaganza show pass
ing bouquets to an actress because he i'm
AGNES she was looking straight at only
him"
Certainly we cannot cut the generous
hand, but it would be better to cut 1t
than to force it. An "ante" with limit
may become an imperative necessity. In
China the tip is ST. and a gentleman gives
or ante which obviates a considerable an
noyance to citizens who demand a net
price in all services and purchases.

which we were travelling, and could not
afford to be reckless with it's many
turns. Better that L arrive a few min
utes late than not at all. Yet the pace
the giant automobile made seemed flu
rious to Fleischmann, for presently /

"Gott und Himmell! 1t is too fast"
"There is no danger" L shouted back.

Presently he spoke again:
"We shall be arrested at the chateau.
They will telephone from headquar-
ters."
1t was a disagreeable thought.
Should a suspicion arise at camp as to
my intention, the rear guard at the
c 3ateau would be ordered by wire to
crest us. But Fleischmann rose to the

of the road, two strands of wire were
supported on iron poles or on conven-

at work and knew the system. The
upper wire, of heavy copper, was the
through line, extending back across the
Mouse, into Lorraine, and thence, by
established lines, south into the Vosges
Mountains, where it connected with the
army Of the Crown Prince, operating on
the southeastern border. The other
wire, or iron, was a local" running
only from the chateau to the headquar-
tiers on the Aisne River.
1t was a daring act-deliberately to
sever this line of communication. Yet
we were well into the affair now and
must see 1t through.

Selection Of Variety OF Grape Vine
Calls for Careful Consideration.

A vineyardist has this to say about
planting grape vines: Had planted
fewer varieties and tested one, might
have been better situated Out OF 10
varieties OF grapes that l am fruiting.
l would not recommend more than six
for commercial purposes. The others
are only good for exhibition or for ex-
pertinent stations. This will hold good
in nearly all kinds of small fruits.
Straw berries are about the same. OF
the several varieties ] have growing.
fiye comprise the really good ones.
Soil and conditions OF culture must be
taken into consideration, for every.
one growing strawberries will find out
that they are very greatly influenced
by the locality In which they grow.
The strawberry that does well on light
soils may not thrive on the heavy soils.
The grower must study his soil as well
as his varieties. The best strawberry
/ ever grew would not sell on account

it. People buy fruit by the eve and
