REGARDING HAT TIPPING
Yes, no doubt it is merely a prevail

to a woman, but whether or not
man conforms to this custom, that
does not prove either his mental or
moral efficiency. know some spIen-
did men who observe the prevailing
custom and who tip their hats to
women they know; then again
know men who are shiftless or lack
ing in mental equipment or scoUn-'
drels and they also observe the same
custom. On the other hand, 1 can
say the same thing of men whom l
know who do not observe the hat
tipping custom. So there you are.
You can take your evidence on either
side.
However, why waste time and
space discussing a mere custom"
No doubt there. is a possibility that
sometime in the near future it will
go out Of fashion. What if it does?
There is no reason for any one to
get excited about it or to lay claim
to being an advanced thinker merely
because he is one of the first to dis
card a time-honored little custom.
For my part, do not care if a man
tips his hat for me or not. But I
would care if any man refused to tip
his hat for me and then Dragged and
boosted about it and threw up his

But all the rest have been swallowed up.

 Naturally, this addition to England's working force is going to have effect upon the future.
