ENFORCE HE Multiplying LAW.

The travelling men OF Iowa can. il
they will. enforce the anti-tipping law.
1t IS OF more interest 10 them than TO
anyone else TO have the custom stopped.
To a man who is constantly travelling
about the tipping custom is heavier
tax than ne pays 70 his county, state
and nation for the support of his var
ious governments. II often amounts to
IS much = year as his hnnse rent
It was FOR his protection perhaps pri-
marty that the anti-ttpping law was
enacted.
Law enforcement of any kind is the
simplest process On earth if the evil
dence OF violation is available. The
travelling man can get the evidence as
TO those who tip. Let the state asso-
citation take It up, appoint or delegate
a score OF men or more to obtain EVIL

Likewise fine or two announced in
the newspapers for tipping and the
knowledge that the travelling mems as
sociat!ons were out cunning for those
who violated the tipping law would
soon put stop to the custom in Iowa
Once stopped ard the custom reversed
there would then be no temptation for
anyone to tip.
Tipping, like ladies' millinery, is reg

best because it seeks to establish the
caste relationship of master and SER
want between the Upper and the tipped

next patron for service in the unvill

rated as a pike. Sociologically tipping

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Setting itself right, the Times at
Mason City explains: The Marshall
town Times Republican failed to read
the Times correctly concerning betting
at horse racing. The Times is not in
favor of betting of any kind, but ii
does not believe in knocking out horse
races because men and women attend
the races and engage in betting"
In Mr.. Hardings interest the Sioux
City Journal insists that The sue
cess of prohibition as statewide
policy in Iowa depends more on the
efforts of the attorney general than on
those of all the other state officers put
together. Quite aside from the politics
of the situation. The Journal believes
that as attorney general Mr.. Cosson
would do better job of enforcing pro-
hihition than any man who could be
named for the office
The Mason City Times, speaking Of
Harding. says that His only hope is
that fight of such magnitude will be
stirred up between the Cosson and the
Allen supporters that will make sue
cess sure for third candidate. Hard
ing is man of considerable strength
individually and is a good cam
paigner."

ROUT OUT THE JUDGES.
IDavenport Democrat


While it is the traditional privilege
of the judge to mod upon the bench"
some of the papers Of the state are
asking, if the state house at Des
Moines is as overcrowded as they say,
why should sleeping quarters be pro-
vided in 1t for the judges of the SUI
preme court?
The law requires the judges to live
in Des Moines, during their term OF
office, and in view OF this provision
some one long time ago felt that it
was but just to provide sleeping quar-
tiers for them in the capitol. But
Des MONIES paper is ungrateful enough
to suggest that If the law provides they
should live there, it probably contem-
plated that they should spend some OF
their $4,000 a year salary for lodgings,
and that the problem of how to house
the new insurance department and
other new officials would be easier to
solve if the judges would move to
hotels.

THE ANT-TIPP1NG LAW.
r1 NEx;-1o rorf$o1

The only way to enforce the anti-tip-
ping law is for the tip giver to re-
strain his generous motives and with
hold tips.
Granted that he has the right to
spend his money as he pleases and
that there is no law to prevent a per-
son from accepting pay for services
rendered, the fact remains that Iowa
has a new anti tipping law and that
it should be enforced.
Tipping has come to be an evil thru
abuse. The giving of gratuities has
reached such stage that many times

FLYING FOXES OF INDIA.
During the Day They Sleep In Trees,
 Hanging Head Downward.

OuFIn9 tuo 0dy su0y 0'SoP sH ''SoSi
 Hanging Head Downward.
 People who have lived in India are familiar with the long strings of flying foxes which can often be seen vending their way in single file from their sleeping places in remote trees to the fruit gardens upon which they prey.
 These curious creatures, says writ CT in the Wide World Magazine, some times measure as much as four feet across the wings and have reddish brown fur and mole colored wings. After their nocturnal depredations they fly away with the dawn to tree ill some isolated place and there rest dur ing the day, hanging head downward from the boughs in the manner of bats, clutching the branch with their feet.
 As the flying foxes gather on the tree selected there is tremendous commo- tion, for each newcomer is vigorously driven off from one place after another until he eventually manages to secure a perch for himself. Those on the tree meanwhile keep up an incessant wran- highest and best place to rest on. Sometimes many hundreds of these de- structive creatures may be seen hang- ing from the branches of large tree.
 When opportunity offers they are of ten shot, and some of the natives con- slider their flesh delicacy, though it hardly appeals to Europeans.

SHIP CREEK NAMED. F0R PRESIDENT
Coast Survey Bulletin Changes Ship Creek To Woodrow Creek-
 City Named Anchorage.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey bulletin just issued gives the name of Woodrow Creek to what has formerly been called Ship Creek, in Cook Inlet, Alaska. The name has been changed in honor of President Woodrow Wilson, who has by the stroke of pen changed the small town at it's mouth from small viii lage of few huts to terminal for the railroad to the interior, and es- pecially for the vast coal deposits of the Matanuska coal fields.
 The Postoffice Department has call ed Ship Creek village, Anchorage, which will hereafter be the official name of the city so far as the Post office Department is concerned.
 The new names are to go into eff feet at once and hereafter all off cial documents will show Ship Creek as Woodrow Creek and Ship Creek anchorage, as Anchorage.
 The engineering commission have made 8 protest against the change in name for the city, insisting that it had better be left as Ship Creek rath- CT than to make unnecessary confu sion by change at this time.

TRIALS OF A PARSON.
Efforts of Some of His Flock to Keep
 Him Meek and Humble.

Him Meek and Humble.
 Do not be a parson unless you are blessed with a strong sense of humor and a thick hide. advises an English clergyman in Pearson's Weekly.
 I was asked by friend who had been offered living near me to go and see the vicarage and church and re- port. I did so. and the clerk showed me round. As we neared the end he turned to me and said:
 Be you our new parson, sir, if l may make so bold" l assured him that I was not. Il be main glad to hear that, sir" he said, with relief. We've always had good uns so far!'
 In scattered parish l called upon an old couple about tea time. Would you like cup of tea?" the housewife asked. I confessed that l should like it very much The dear old soul pre- pared one and kept apologizing be- cause she had no jam or cake. as- sured her that it did not matter in the least. Well, sir" she said, brighten ing. after all, 'tisn't as if you was one of them that feed high. Any one can see that"
 One more. A friend of mine had got job for a man who had been for long time out of work. l guessed he was getting pretty shabby, so looked up q suit-we were much of size and took it round. The mans wife took it, and 1 waited in the room, ready to be overwhelmed with thanks. She came back and said
 My 'usband thanks you kindly, sir, but he don't hold with parsons clothes. But if you've got anything as d suit a man he'll have a look at it!'

ORIENTAL CARPETS.
Some of Those Made of kashmir Wool
 Strongly Resemble Silk.

Generally speaking the carpets of India can never excel those of Persia, as the materials used in the former are not of the same superior quality as those employed in the latter country. The wool of which many of the best carpets are manufactured is obtained from Kashmir. Sometimes carpets which are mistaken for silk are really of an extremely fine quality of wool known as "pashm." This is obtained from the goats of Kashmir and grows close to the skin, being protected by the long and coarser wool. It is as smooth and lustrous as silk and is used for the beautiful soft shawls for which Kashmir is famous.
 Peculiar methods are employed by the Indian weaver in converting his original design into a textile. Instead of working from colored drawing or diagram, the weaver has the pattern translated on paper into rows of sym bols, each of which expresses the num- Der of stitches and the color. With this written "key" in his hand the head weaver sits behind his subOrdi- hates and dictates the pattern to them, one row at a time, all through the breadth of the carpet.
 These weavers-generally small boys sit ill front of the warp strings and tie in the requisite number of stitches of each color as called out to them by the reader from his ciphered scrip. These boys, who perform the actual process of weaving the pile. follow day by day the dictations of the head man, knowing nothing of the pattern they are preparing, but gradually building up in mechanical way the carpet on the strings before them.-Argonaut.

RUIN IN A CHINA SHOP.
A Crash That Spelled Agony For the
 London Curo Dealer.


 George Robey, the comedian, ire quently drops ill for chat with a dealer in London. In the outer room are vases and jars, cups, groups and sets of pieces valued at anything from 50 to 500 guineas. Inside is the pro- prietor's private apartment. To reach him you gingerly pick your way through the thousands of pounds worth of valuable china.
 "One day not long ago." Robey says, q had been chatting within, and a friend was waiting for me in the outer room. As I bade the dealer Good morning and was about to pass into the outer room there came dreadful crashing of broken china. My friend turned upon me an eye glassy with an- guish. Never shall forget the pro- prietor's expression of supreme horror as he rushed from his sanctum and saw my friend and myself standing amid the debris of broken chinaware which lay strewn around our feet. He was speechess-choking.
 Legal proceedings? Five thousand pounds? In word, what was the damage, you inquire Well, am sorry to have to confess it, for the proprietor was in bed for a week as the result of the shock, but it was a gag prear- ranged.
