TIP AS A %cIVILIzER.


The general popularity that the home
used to enjoy before the days Of taxi
cabs and cabarets may have a renals-
sance II the hotels and cafes keep Oh
pillng UP their charges with the wild
abandon that now characterisss them,
says Philadelphia Bulletin. More and
more people have been cultivating q
habit Of eating In restaurants rather
than at home. and II must be said. to
the credit Of the restaurant men, that
they are doing their utmost to discour-
age this tendency by putting dyna.
mite under their prices or every posi-
BILE and impossible occasion. A very
wise man, misplaced In the cutlery
business. said not long ago that 1t
was the tip rather than the talk In
barber shops that drove millions Of
men to shaving themselves. The bar
Der shops still cultivate f%rlghtfulness.
But they have grown to seem like
charitable institutions Ia comparison
with the pretentious modern hotels and
restaurants and the hordes of amateur
banditti who Turk In their Hobbies and
in every dark corner with palms turned
up and q pretext or another for ac-
quIring money that they DO net earn.
II Is this ssrt Of thing that may keep
the home from going out Of style alto
gsther In a day when Its influence 10
so sore,y needed. The tip mania may
be one Of those mystical reactions Of
fate that occur now and then to keep
humanity on a straight path when It
seems determined to steer for the
bitches.

WILL ASK EXEMPTION
FOR SHOPS EMPLOYEES

The Monon officials will apply for
exemption from military service for all
its men drafted under the conscription
act on account Of the great need Of the
men employed at the shops to keep UP
engine and other repairs that are essen
tial to the operating department Of the
railroad. The draft list in the various
departments will amount to fully 100
men and this will greatly cripple the
work at the shops if the men go away,
owing to the scarcity Of expert work
men in railroad work. Exemption sheets
are now being distributed among the
men drafted to state their cases and
when these are filled out the company
officials will lay their claim before
the national exemption board for action.

a result Of recent conferences here and
abroad among allied diplomats, and
bears more or less directly on Italy's

against Austria. Italy's irritation had
subsided TO a marked degree today and
Russia has sided with her in a demand
that the q. s. declare war on Austria.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. b
Nearly every mothers son in Indiana
who has gone before an examining
board under the draft law thus far has
claimed exemption for one reason or
another Il begins to look as If the
government will have TO call out every
man, woman. child and dog in the
country to get an army. II the present
ratio Of exemption requests continues.
Not only in Indianapolis but in other
PARTS OF the state the same story is
told. Some Of the men present what
NAV be regarded as valid reasons for
exemptions. but it Is reported that
some OF them present excuses that
cannot stand under any circumstances.
There is story going around also
that in some Of the larger places in
the state men have registered false ad-
dresses. in the hope that they can thus
escape the draft. But there is a
suspicion that II any such are found
II will go hard with them. 1t is very
evident that the government does not
propose to stand for any foolishness in
regard TO the formation of the national
army.
It will be several days before the
examinations in all OF the districts Of
the state are in full swing. although
they are IN progress III A4aHS PAeoSs
one OF the significant incidents in
