PRACTICAL TRAINING
FOR ANTl-AlR MEN

GREAT LAKES. Ill, March a.
To give the men at the naval train
ing station here practical instruction
in the manipulation OF anti.aircraft
guns, the navy department has au'
thorized the installation of a three
inch. fifty calibre. anti-aircraft bat.
terry. This announcement is made in
the Great Lakes Bulletin, the new
daily paper edited and printed by the
sailors.
Present intentions are to mount the
guns on the lake front so that men
can be trained by target practice at
captive balloons and box kites. For
drill purposes, in connection with
aviators at the station, it is planned
to have airplahes make day and night
attacks" All guns will be fully
manned, ready for instant action
when an aIrplane puts in an appear,
ance. The crew of the searchlight
station will be constantly in readi-
ness to pick up airplanes making a
might invasion"
Airplane detectors, similar to those
used at the European battlefronts,
are being installed, and experiments
with types OF projectiles for attack
ing airplanes will be carried on.
Another innovation about 10 be
adopted is land battleship, equip
ped with modern appliances for the
destruction OF submarines. The ship
has been built upon the lake front
and will be equipped with the fire
control and searchlight installations
In use on the latest type American
battleships. A cage mast and a bat
terry OF three-inch. fifty calibre guns
viii be mounted for use in target
practice. AS a result OF the land
ship" training. men will be qualified
for gun positions when they leave
the station. The ship was planned
by Captain W. A. Moffett, station
commander, and Lieutenant-Com
mander Chester S. Roberts, execu
tive officer.

HERE'S WHERE YOUR
TIPS TO HAT BOYS GO

II you feel that you have not con-
tributed enough in income tax to
Uncle Sans war funds, change your
business; get a hat-check privilege
In some OF the big hotels and restau-
rants. It Is a sure-thlng proposition
guaranteed to pay higher dividends
than steel stock.
All you have to do Is to get the
privilege. You pay the hotel or res.
taurant for this. Then you hire at
low wages a score or more of young
girls or boys, teach them how best
to gather in tips, and devise a good
check system on their receipts. Then
you collect, and you'll be able to af.
cigars.
A man who holds these privileges
10 few New York hotels and restau.
rants sued his brother the other day
for an accounting. They were part
ners. The suing brother estimated
their Joint profits at $4,000 year,
about a quarter of n million in the
last seven years. Simple, isn't II?
And then right here the other day
q gentleman who holds the hat-check
privilege In one OF San Francisco's
big hotels was charged and convict.
ed Of working one OF his women EN-.
ployees fourteen hours a day. I'm vic.
lation OF the eight-hour law. He was
made to pay $50 fine, an amount
OF course easily made up the same
day by his receipts. given originally
in tips to hat boys.
The woman involved in the local
incident was in charge of a women's
dressing room. The guests OF the
hotel who used II doubtless believed.
when they gave her gratuities, that
she was the beneficiary. or course
she was not. She receives wages,
and those a very small percentage of
her daily receipts In tips: The gen

the tips.
Little things like this New York
suit and this San Francisco case give
q great many people a jolt They take
all tho Joy out of their tip.giving hab.
It's. They create a positive crouch
against tipping.
People cannot see why they should
pay for their hats after eating when
they find out that the dime or quar-.

Would it not be a fine thing for
some of the large hotels and restau-
rants to divorce themselves complete
