 FOR TIPPING IN THE
 FL PASO RESTAURANTS

FL PASO, Tex, Reb G. War stamps instead of change are being used here for tipping walters, bell boys and servants. The idea origin ated with A. P. Coles, general chair man of the War Stamp Campaign committee. Instead of leaving a tip at his plate after he. finished his meal in a public restaurant or hotel. MT. Cole started the custom of affix. ing 25 cent thrift stamp to a thrift card and leaving it beside the plate. The plan has been taken up here and many of the servants. walters and waitresses in the local hotels and restaurants have filled the thrift cards and have started war savings certificates with their stamp tips.

course the women voted for her and
were largely responsible for her be

not vote in the general election and
the men compared notes and framed
up quietly on the side that they
would scratch out the woman's name
