DON'T TIP ASH
COLLECTORS
Head of Street Cleaning
Department Asks All to
Heed Advice.

AS 1t is now, John Smith. at one
END of block, is liberal In his tips.
Consequently the ash collectors go out
of their way to serve him. They go
into his cellar. which they are forbid
den to do. to get out the cans. know
ing that they will receive something
extra for tho extra work. William
Jones, at the other end of the block,
does not tip. The ash men, knowing
this, skip him altogether for days at
time. or they handle his ash cans
carelessly. running the cans and spill
ing ashes over the walks and yard,
and often curse Jones when he remon-
strates.
''The ash collectors are, paid for the
work they do. Their pay comes out
of the pockets of District taxpayers.
Every resident OF the District is en-
Titled to the same service as every
other resident-just that much and no
more. " some, because of liberal tips,
get more and better service than is
given to those who do not tip, the
tippers are simply robbing their non
tipping neighbors of service for which
they have paid and TO which they are
entitled.
Refusal of everybody to give tips
for service that is already being paid
for would bring about an improve
ment in the service for everybody.
But as long as some persons persist
in giving gratuities for service for
which the taxpayers already are pay
ing, just that long some will be
favored TO the detriment of many
others"

The Old Gag Fails.

Some boys sure have a lot OF
nerve.
Three of them went into a tobacco
store on Pennsylvania avenue be-

edly to buy a pipe.
One of them, Bill Carwell stood
guard at the cash register, while
the other two entiCed the. clerk to
one side.
While the clerk was showing his
two pals a pipe. Bill opened the
cash register and pouneed on a
helpless $50 bill.
The two pals suddenly decided
that they didn't need a pipe ana
called to Bill to go on out with
them.
The clerk, however, was wise. He
called Bill. Bill ran.
The clerk ran, too. and when he
caught him, Bill smashed him one
in the face. The other two got
away.
The $40 bill was found on Bill
and Policeman Perkins (not Ru-
dolph) of No. l precinct was called
in.
OF course. Bill denied it, But
the customers VINO were in the store
at the time, saw the whole thing and
they appeared against him.
The whole thing appeared to the
court to be a pretty bold stunt. The
avenue was full of people at the
time.

fortunately he got off very light.

Down in the cellar where Leo
worked were some old CRATES, a ra-
