Rome, May -CCorrespondence of the Associated ress.)-Rome walters refuse to accept tips from patrons. Tips are vigorously suppressed anl nothing can induce the walters to vio- late the practice.

 An American, one of the latest ar rivals in Rome, who is attached to the American embassy here, was paying his bill recently when, on leaving Il tip of 30 cents for the waiter, he was astonished, to find the waiter handing the money back to him. The Amer ican immediately concluded that the tip was not considered sufficient and that it was therefore scorned.

ARCHAEOLOGY NOW
 KA|SER'S HOBBY Former Emperor Has Taken Up Old FavOrite to Help
 Him Forget Troubles
By Associated Press

Amerongen, May 15.-A resumption Of his former interest in archaeology is one of the means adopted recently by the former German Emperor to keep his mind from dwelling constantly on his po- sition. Professor Duerpfeld, one of the most eminent archaeologists of Germany
 came to join the Hohenzollern circle a month or so ago, and since his arrival has spent several hours almost every after neon in his former monarch's company.
 Every phase of archaeological research is discussed during these conversations, in the course of which the professor en- tertains the exile with details of the discoveries made by him and his com panions in Palestine, Syria and other sec- ticns of the near east. The professor is an old companion of Hohenzollern, with whom he spent some time on the Island of Corfu, where the one-time German ruler owned the Castle of Achilleion.
 Even at the dinner table archaeology is now the main subject of conversation, for reference to the war is tacitly taboo when the erstwhile Emperor, and his con sort join the family circle of the Ben

It's Safe To Be Gray

Rebecca West, in The New Republic
 There is at present loose among people
 who write not out of any urgent per
 sonal impulse but according to literary fashion belief, a quite fallacious belief that if one keeps to neutral tints one is safe. It is a belief of some decades standing. The worlds fiction grew gray
 at Gissing's breath He slightly falsified life in the direction of misery, for, bad as the English climate and the London suburbs are, they are not so bad he describes them; and he continued his Justification for so long and so convinc- ingly that physical atmosphere more humid than any yet recorded by the Met eorological society and 9 spiritual at mosphere of gloom never yet attained by any human society except a Highland village on Sunday became established
 conventions of the ambitious sort of fic-
 tion. A little later it became the right thing to admire MT, Henry James. He became great enough to be reviewed on day of publication This meant that busy journalists were obliged to write in few hours long notices of books which
 fake more than few days to read. As they never had time to find out what
 happened in Mr. James books they were obliged to omit from their notices all
 mention of this not unimportant aspect
 of his work. A choking ecstasy aDout his style saved trouble and was in the movement. Consequently, the public,
 with it's pathetic faith in the press, came to the conclusion that as journalists
 never said anything about what hap
 pened ir MT. James books nothing did happen. This was pity, for no writer ever invented more beautifully intricate plots or could deal more gleefully with such goobets of the sensational as mur- der or a divorce case. Still the impress sion persisted, and out of this misap- prehension and Gissing's defect there arose a theory that if one was to be a serious writer, the kind that the best people read, one must remove rom one | representation of life as much as pos | sible of life's crude content of color and ! massive events; that are adores a | vacuum.

FEED BOXES AND HAY RACKS
Faulty Construction Cause OF Animals
Not Getting Feed Intended
for Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In many instances animals do not get
the feed actually intended for them,
due to improper and faulty construc-
ton of boxes and hny racks. Many
feed boxes are so shallow and small
that much feed Is wasted as the AMI.
mails eat from them. In order to pre-.
vent this waste the feed boxes should
be repaired. They should be at least
IS inches wide and "a inches long and
10 to IA inches deep. 1t is often ad-
visable to feed the concentrates with
silage to prevent waste.
Hay racks should be constructed to
prevent animals from tossing or pull
Ing hay under their feet. All hay
racks should have a tight bottom to
prevent the loss of leaves and finer
particles of hay. The leaves of hay.
especially of the legumes. contain most
of the protein and are. therefore, that
part of the roughage which the ami
mails need. A few hours work In re-
pairing boxes and hay racks, and at a
very small cost, will result In saving
sufficient feed to maintain the animals
in satisfactory condition.

That policy brought the biggest re-
turns under war conditions. The same
plan should be pursued this year.
Prices for everything that go into max

consequently every acre planted should
be put Into condition to yield well. II
is no time to endeavOr to Improve the

until the prices of labor and fertilizer
again become normal. 1t will then be
most practicable if done as supple
ment to farming better land. This year
every stroke of work SHOULD be made
to count on the best land of each farm,
so that good yields may Offset the

What 1. the Cause of
Backache?
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most com.
mon nilment from which women suf-
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from it. Sometimes the cause Is OBJ
scure, but Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. y,
high medical authority, snys the
cause is very often n form of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
Of the feminine organs. When these
organs are inflame,t the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness. un-
healthy discharges, irregularity. pain
full periods, Irritation, headache and
general rundown condition. Any
woman in this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription, which is a separate and
distinct medicine for women.
1t is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol or opiate of any kind, for
Dr. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is nat

purpose. Thousands of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it. and thousands

What attitude the Poles will assume

Therefore, the only possible friend
ly neighbors are in the east, the Ru-
thenians of Bukovina and the Rou-
manians of Transylvanla, writes E. F.
Pratner in the New York Herald.
But even their policy is unsettled.
The Mid-European union, so auspici-
Ously and so recently organized in his
toric Independence hall, Philadelphia,
is in danger of disintegration due to
the differences arising among the dele
gates of the numerous peoples repre-
sented. The possibilities are that
what seem to be insurmOuntable OBJ
stacles will be satisfactorily adjusted,
and the Czecho- Slovaks will enjoy Mt
least the friendship of these peoples.
Bohemia Is an economically inde-
pendent country. This sounds as rath-
er bold assertion in the face of the
enumerated handicaps. She is not de-
pendent, economically, on her neigh
bors, but they, in turn, must draw up
on the Bohemian resources for their
many shortcomings in agriculture and
industry.
If we give consideration to the i'm
preston made on the Iron chancellor
of Germany, Bismarck, the economic
position of Bohemia may be more read
lily appreciated, for he once stated that
whoever is ''the master of Bohemia is
the master of Europe" Today these
words are not accepted or even put
forth as trulsms, but they have ten
dency to induce more comprehensive
estimate of Bohemia's commanding po-
sition in the commercial world.
The Czecho- Slovaks, or the other
Slavs of Europe. for that matter, have
not sought and have no intention Of
seeking in the future the mastery of
the European continent. Their only
desire is that they be permitted to
freely develop along economic and cul-
tural lines In their own lands as free
peoples living under independent gov
ernments.
On East-to-West Routes.
During all the ages the commercial
routes from the west and east, as well
ms from the north and south of Eu-
rope led through Bohemia. Her po-
sition has not been altered in the
slightest even in this day. The Ber-
lin-Bagdad railroad runs through Bo-
hemia. Two of its most important
stations are in Prague and Brno. With
Bohemia free state the German "su-
