Waters Tips In Paris.

The old familiar problem of how
much TO tip the waiter at restau-
rant mas puzzled most people at one
time or another, so possibly the fol-
loving system of reckoning the
amount, which Is practiced by a
good many experienced Parisians,

The principle Is to reckon a pen
nv head for each person in the
party plus penny for every shil-
ling in the Dill. OF course If the
party dimes very economically the
waiter Will not come of very well.
But it is found IN Paris that TIP

AN HISTORICAL SCANDAL

The presidents rancour over the
campaign roorback about an alleged
swindle in the Panama canal deal is
understood In view OF the future The
Panama canal project is one Of the
great achievements OF Roosevelt's ad-
ministration. II will figure in the
history of the country, and future
generations OF muck rakers might
gain access to the archives of the OPP
position press and there find hazy
reference to an alleged swindle. with
the bald statement that documents In
the case were lost. The New York
SUI, and the Indianapolis News gave
currency TO a story that a number OF
American financiers secured a major
fly stock Of the Panama Canal COM
psny before the United States paid
$40 600 900 for the canal zone, and
that the records were destroyed. The
inference was that the United States
did not buy the strip for a ship canal,
