COURT RULES TIPS A LUXURY
Salesman Sues for $3.50 Spent in Get
ting Business, But Judge
Overruies.


White Plains, N. Y.-Is the tip to
the hotel waiter luxury or neces-
sity? Some time ago New York city
court ruled that the tip was a neces-
sity and therefore legitimate item in
the expense account of city employee.
The courts here. however, beg to dis
agree.
Justice Morschauser of the supreme
court has ruled that tips to hotel
walters are an expense which the en-
ployer Of a travelling salesman need
not pay.
The suit was brought by salesman
for $3.50 spent for tips during a three
weeks trip. The court decided that
the tips were luxury and not neces-
sary to the completion Of his employ
er's business.
The salesman argued that the tips
were a necessity, without which he
could not have lived at the hotel with
that peace and quiet of mind neces-
,sary to transacting business satisfac-
torily. .

"HE chief difference between
cooking for the sick and for

properly prepared and the one who is
perfectly we'll ought to have it proper
" prepared One is a case of neces-
eity in order to regain health: the 9TH
er is a case of prevention to ward of
sickness. There is no medicine more
important and powerful than the right
kind of food cooked and served in the
best way to make it easy OF digestion
and nutritious. Since this is true
there is no part of nursing more i'm
portant than that Of preparing the in
yalid's meals. Selecting and cooking
meals for one who has little appetite
mean more than choosing certain nu-
tritious foods and cooking them well.
They mean presenting the proper food
to the patient in such an attractive
way that an appetite will be awaken

possibly would pass unnoticed by the

RINGING cURFEW IN NORWAY
Church Bells Remind Christiania
Children to Get OF the Streets
At Night.


Christiania, Norway.-Curfew ring
ing in Norway is not custom Of long
standing, but while the practise seems
to be getting more and more obsolete
in countries where 1t was formerly
well known It has been taken up In
this country with great energy by
number of social workers, who argue
that ringing the church bells at say
eight O'Clock p. m. in winter and 8
p. m. In summer will prove the best
means of keeping children away from
the streets. And it is further argued
that their staying there after dark
has been one of the principal reasons
for the comparatively numerous Of
lenses by children which have been
reported during late years. The work
for introducing the curfew here In a
short time won good many follow
ers.
4 After being tried in some of the
smaller towns the practise has now
been introduced in Christiania. Al
though the press has done its best to
prepare the public for 1t, the first
chimes created considerable sensa-
ton. Ringing the church bells at
night has been something altogether
iunheard of here for years, and the
first night most of the daily papers
had number of anxious inquiries,
some calling in person and some over
the telephone wires, who wanted to
know if war had broken out or a
great fire had been discovered some
where in town.
1t remains to be ascertained wheth-
er the church bells will have the bene.
fetal effects claimed for them upon
the younger generation of Christiania.
Some people claim that the root of
the evil is the numerous books of the
dime-novel type stamp, which are

AvIAToRs MUST STAND TEST
Skill Of Air Navigators in France to
Be Ascertained Before Given
License.

Paris.-Driven to action by public
opinion the International Aeronautic
federation has decided hereafter to
examine the skill of every would-be
aviator before granting him the right
to drive machine The federation
holds that during this pioneer period
of aeronautics special care must be
taken not to allow appreciation Of
personal valor and willingness to sac
rifice life for science to blind those
in authority to the fact that many
half-trained or wholly unframed avia-
tors have been flying both in France
and Germany At the Rheims meet
ing. for instance, several men who
had been training only one week
drove machines, while one never had
flown.
Experiences at the beginning Of
automobile development ten years ago
show the danger Of sentimentality on
the part of the aero committee as we'll
as of the public The action of the
federation, therefore, is warmly re-
ceived.

New York.-After an absence OF
more than half century timber that
was felled on the mountains of Pike
county, Pennsylvania, rated down the
Delaware river, finally reached . New
York market. has unwittingly been
returned to its native mountains by
Harry Bragau. an old time baritone
singer and writer on musical topics.
Mr. Bragau 10 one of the descend
ants of John Brouchard, who. with
his wife, came from the Palatine more
than $50 years ago and settled in
what is now known as the old Sunny
side section of Long Island city.
Brouchard Is ancestor Of the Brokaws.
the Bragaws and the Bragaus Of the
present.
Many years ago Harry Bragau fell
heir to large section of the original
Brouchard tract on old sunnyside
hill. But the fertility Of the land was
gone and his inheritance was bleak.
stony ground.
Bragau took possession Of the IA
nous old Brouchard homestead and
sat down and waited. That was about
the only thing for him to do. for the
land was said to be worthless and it
was declared that he couldn't give 1t
away for nobody wanted to pay the
taxes.
This was the situation when the
big improvements Of a certain rail-
road with its tunnel system came
along. and one morning Mr.. Bragau
woke up to find an array OF real es-
tate spectators moving on his place.
His tract of land was right in the
heart of the proposed new railroad
yard, and when Mr.. Bragau got
through dickering with the railroad
he felt as If he had struck gold
mine.
With fat bank account to his cred
It he suddenly heard the call Of the
wild, and going to Pike county he
bought farm in the mountain fast
ness of that place overlooking the
winding Delaware river.
Then began the exodus from the an
cient Brouchard holdings, and more
out Of sentiment than anything else
he selected from the old homestead
which was being razed timbers that
were still sound Among them was a
load of roughly hewn floor beams,
with the bark still clinging in places,
which had been put under the old
house at one time when 1t was under
going repairs.
The car load of timber, together
with his piano. his paintings, his poll
parrot and his pug dogs. he had
shipped to his new home in Pike coun.
ty, where he later employed John
Smith, an old-time mountaineer,
hunter and woodsman to care for his
place.
It was In examining these timbers
a few days ago that Smith discovered
In certain of the timbers the identical
marks for identifying their timber
used more than fifty years ago by
lumbermen in the section, who RATED
their timber from the headwaters Of
the Delaware to tidewater.
Smith is something Of carpenter
and builder himself, and he was posi-
