RAISE IN THE PRICE OF GAS.

The unusual advance in the price
of all material and labor used in the
distribution of Natural Gas compels
us to advance the price of gas three

This is the same price that will be
charged in Lexington, Winchester

All gas bills sent out September /

Mr.. II. Casaday, Ordway. Colo:
Dear Sir-Your letter of the list
regarding car supply for the month
of November.
Am unable to forecast conditions in
respect to car service for the future,
Our box car situation is serious, and
from all prospects bids fair to become
more so.
We have been filling orders at all
points for equipment for government
loading, which. in addition to the
heavy business moving at this time of
the year. has resulted in curtailment
of our car supply to such an extent
as to make our service unsatisfactory.
We regret that this condition, which
cannot be avoided, should exist. We.
of course. will do everything in our
power to furnish car service to our
shippers. and assure you that you
will get your proportion of cars avail
able. which. under the present con-
ditions. is the best service we can
offer. Yours truly,

TIPPING IS ANCIENT HABIT
Custom Dates Back to 17s5 and Was
Subject Of Much Criticism Even
at That Early Time.

II the efforts that are now being
made by the London Hairdressers' as
sociation for the abolition of tipping
meet with success, there will be much
jubilation among the many long.suffer-
ing victims of the system, and no doubt
an equal amount of regret among those
who have protted by its continuance.
says the Dundee Advertiser.
The habit of giving gratuities would
appear to be very old one, for as far
back as 1855 it prevailed. At that date
we find worthy man bitterly com.
planning Of the tips expected by all
and sundry when putting up a horse
at an inn. Over and above the ordi-
nary bill he must give shilling to
the waiter, to the chambermaid six
pence, to the hostler sixpence. and six.
pence to the bootiack, making two
shillings and sixpence in all. The next
morning at breakfast it was necessary
to give sixpence between the waiter
and the hostler. That was for one
nights stay only. But If the traveller
merely put up for refreshment, be
sides paying boy to mind the horses,
the hostler expected threepence, at din.
ner the waiter looked for sixpence and
the hostler again made threepence; at
tea. waiter and hostler shared sixpence,
Thus the oldtime traveller gave away
two shillings and sixpence a day in
tips, which. added to the two shillinga
and sixpence overnight, made a total
of five shillings q day.

PARROT Is VERSATILE BIRD

1t appears that it is not only in
Initiating human speech tnat the par.
rot eXcels most of the birds. 1t is
alone among birds in taking food in
its claws. With these two character
istics 1t makes more or less use OF
that which distinguishes humanity
from the rest OF the animal kingdom
the hand and the larynX.
The monkey vses its hands and the
elephant its trunk in feeding. Various
animals have a habit of paving their
food. Rodents have serviceable toes.
Still. the parrot is pre-eminent among
birds in this regard. The secretary
bird is said to attack reptiles with
its claws, and some observers have
said that owls make partial use OF
their remarkably flexible perching-toe
somewhat more than does a hen in
scratching for food. However, there
is no other bird which, when present.
ed with 4 piece OF food. will accept /,
in its claws.
Parrots do not. OF course. talk. as
the word is used, in their wild state,
and are not known TO be initiative Of
neighboring sounds, nor to possess
the repertory OF the mockingbird. 1t
is. therefore, a question whether or
not their use of the claws is largely
initiative also. The shape of the par
rot's beak would indicate that some
assistance in eating has always been
a part of the birds characteristics.
Like man. the parrot makes its ap-
pearance in the world naked and
helpless.

THEATERS
''FixingSister'
Is Refreshing
ComedyDrana

An unusual comedy. and one Of
the most refreshing ever seen in
South Bend. was presented BY Will
liam Hodge and his cO-players at
the oliver Thursday evening. Fix
Ing Sister" really does blend drama.
comedy and farce, and il Is a most
satisfying blend.
The theme Is similar in some re-
spects q that OF Mr.. Hodges earlier
success. THE Man From Home" in
that IL presents the striking con-
trast between the pretentiously
fashionable and the whOlesomely
shrewd and genuine character. The
details OF course, are wrdely variant,
yet IN the ultimate analysis, the
characters OF Daniel Voorhees, Pike,
the man from home" and Of John
Otis. the Kansas City lumber man.
are essentially the same. II is a
character in which Mr.. Hodges
unique talent lies weu' and he
does well 10 retain such roles.
Mr. Hodge has a quiet and con-
vincingly genuine air that is distinct
i've. that stands out. whatever the
situation. and dominates. Much Of
the play is uproariously funny, yet
even the most uproarious situations
have a suggestion OF the deftness
which characterfzes Mr. Hodges
acting. At time when much Of
the comedy and almost all OF the
farce TO be seen on the stage bears
the faint Of either suggestiveness or
vulgarity. Fixing Sister is especial
~ welcomed; there is not a line nor
a situation that bears that faint.
The star responded TO repeated cur
tain calls with a gracious little
speech in which he thanked a re-
sponsive audience, and one that
nearly filled the oliver, for the gem
erous reception.
In the supporting company Ham
ilton Deane stands out prominently.
IN the role OF the Bogus lord Hag-
gett he presented a striking charac-
terizatiOn. one that was devoid of
the Stiffness OF many stage "Chol-
lies and palpably a very accurate
picture Of type that is so often over
done. Mr.. Deane was admirable
throughout the play. one could
even admire his acting, while
Lord Haggett was being stripped
of his pretensioD and revealed in
his "rottenness."
Among the others, Jane Wheat
ley. as sister" gave a very ade-
quate Characterization; Miriam Col
nns. as Abbey Sexton. was a win
some little girl. and Charles Can
field filled acceptably the rather
conventional role of Judge Willard.
Ida Vernon did as much with a sim
ilarly conventional part, but one
