U.ed Telephone in Hunt.

Of all the thousands of ways in which the telephone contributes to the needs and luxuries of mankind. the most remarkable one so far recorded is it's use as an auxiliary in hunting coyotes.
 Leroy Moreland, says the Gridley (Colo.) Herald, of Gridley Colony No. 3 saw a coyote sneaking up toward his chicken inclosure. He procured his rifle and shot at the animal, break ing his leg. The coyote is fairly nim- ble in a getaway with only three legs and this one was making good prog ress out of the country, when MT. Moreland went to his house and tele- phoned Harry Turner to pick up the "varmint," as 1t was going hia way.

One Of the leading New York news papers is waging a war on the tipping system in the quarters Of the city em- hracing the swell hotels and restaur- ants. and the East Side Walters Un- Ions announce their intention to be- gln general campaign against the system immediately. Their idea Is to demand a minimum wage of s2.50 per day in lieu of a lower wage and what tips they can gather In. There Is no doubt better chance to abolish the tipping system in the cheaper places, because there the tips rarely exceed a quarter, and probably average less than a dime. In fact. taking into ac- count those who breakfast or lunch or sup and get away without giving the waiter anything. the average is probably much less than 10 cents The tips are very uncertain reliance for the waiter in the moderate-priced eat. ing place. A steady living wage would be much more to the general advan- tage Of the employees. But at the swell places the case Is entirely different
 Here the tips sometimes range so high and are so constant as to hold out to the accomplished waiter a glittering possibility. Very few of the patrons of these establishments possess the nerve to brave the contemptuous stare of the seryitor by withholding the tip or making 1t so small as to look mean. There Is little danger of the walters in the high-priced hotels and restaurants uniting to abolish the tip. This Is true of all cities of considerable size as well as of New York. If there is anything that the fairly prosperous American shrinks from 1t Is posing as a cheap guy" in the eyes of the pub lie or Of those whom he regards as his interiors; hence many a man, when eating or getting any service at a pub. lie place strains his resources to give as a gratutty to those who wait upon him more than he can afford The tipping system will never be abolished in the United States so long as 1t Is considered the fashion to tip. The best that can be hoped is that Ameri
 cans will some day come to use the custom In the sensible fashion that Europeans do, and limit themselves to reasonable tips. A London waiter will take sixpence with as much thank fnlness as New York waiter of the same position would bestow upon half collar. and the Englishman or Frenchman who tips in half-pence or sous does not necessarily become an object of scorn and contempt.

r.nes: and 1t has let the shipbui1ders understand that a fixed number of these ships will be started each year until they are all built. and that twen- ty years after the first battle ship Is begun, work on It's successor will be started. Thus all the original battle ships will be replaced. The life of the cruisers and smaller boats will be shorter. At the close of 1917 fifteen battle ships are to be finished, besides nine cruiser battle ships and eighteen small cruisers. As soon as the naval policy was announced the ship build CTS and gun makers began to enlarge their plants with the confident hope that for many years to come they would have all the work they could do. As steel is needed for the ships and as coal is needed to make the steel. the coal and iron business of the countr. Is prosperous with greater prosperity than it has known for years.
