TO STOP TIPPING
IN ISLAND CASINO
Aid. Sherman Littlefeld Plans To
Introduce an Ordinance Pro-
hibiting the Practice.

Aid Sherman Littlefeld, Of the
Twelfth ward, would do away with
tipping in the Belle Isle casino He
has consulted the corporation coun-
sells Office with view of having an
ordinance drafted that will prohibit
both the giving and the receiving OF
top In the casino. SO far as he
has been able to learn there are no
legal difficulties in the way OF such
an ordinance. He expects to sub
init 1t to the council at an early date.
"The casino ought to be on place
where tipping is not necessary to OBJ
tain good service" said the alder
man. THE taxpayers pay for the
they go over there for meal they
are held up. There's nothing fair
about that. II seem to me the tip
ping business Is something entirely
within the city's control, as far as
Belle Isle Is concerned. II It Is, then
we ought to control 1t. II not. this is
a good time to find 1t out AS II
stands now, you have to give the
walters almost as much as your
meal costs or none of them will look
at you when you come again"
The aldermen agree that women
walters would be the best solution
OF the problem, were 1t not for the
liquors served in the casino. No one
has been brave enough TO suggest,
however, that the liquor privilege be
abolished.
There is a possibility that Aid. Lit
tlefleid will have his ordinance ready
to submit to the council by the next
meeting.

AUTO MAKERS TABOO
HALF-M|LE TRACKS
Also Discuss Regulation Of Mile
Courses in Meeting Here-N. A. A.
M. May Take Charge Of Racing.

A most important meeting and one
that will have much bearing on the
future of the automobile racing game
is being held in the Pontchartrain,
by representatives of the Manufac'
turers Contest association, composed
of 81 or the large automobile manu-
facturers of the United States.
Several big questions We're discuss.
ed informally In a preliminary meet,
ing, presided over by Howard Mar.
mon, president of the Marmon Co.,
Thursday morning. II was practical
ly agreed that there shall be no more
automobile racing on half-mile tracks
These have been tabooed as too dan
gerous, for many reasons. The mile
track proposition was also discuss
cd and II was the general opinion
that certain changes would have "a
be put into effect or they, too, would
be put under the ban, unless con
structed purposely for automobile
racing purposes. One OF the changes
urged in this connection was that the
track owners be required. TO take OF
the. top rail OF the fence around the
treck II Is this rail that causes al
the fatalities when cars leave the
track, experience has shown.
Howard e. Coffin, OF the Hudson Mo
tor Car Co., suggested that the Ma
tional Association OF Automobile
Manufacturers, composed of both IL
censed and unlicensed manufacture
ers, should take full charge OF the
racing game hereafter and provide
the necessary finances. The sugges
ton found much favor with those
present, who hailed II as the mosl
logical plan yet proposed. II seems
likely that II, will go through.
Another important change discuss
ed was the advisability of preventing
novices from entering races in which
professionals are also entered. A nov
ice, was defined as a driver with one
years experience. This would mean
of course, separate races for noyices
and professionals.
Those present at Thursday morn

More Sugar Trouble.

1t looks as if there would be more
trouble in store for the housewife
on; the sugar proposition. It still
sells at - pounds for Sl.00 but local
merchants understand that in the
city it already has been advanced to
1 / pounds for $1.OO and the Bemidji
sellers expect that they will be
forced to increase the price to this
amount within the next few days
and they say there will be no re-
lief in sight for at least another
month. A shortage of the sugar beet
in Germany is given as the cause for
the present skyward fight in the
sugar prices, although the consum-
ers look upon the sugar with sus-
picion.

These little coats are made of fig

plain skirts, or vice versa. Others
are of cloth, velvet, marquisette,

deeper shade is employed in building
a ball gown of extreme beauty.
An innovation this season are the

hundreds of tiny frills looks at a
short distance like a mass of soft
feathers.
Satin bags covered with shirred
tulle are hung over the arm, bows
of it are worn with effect at the COL

around the bare throat, fastened with
diamond slides, and a small chou
