At a convention recently, Pullman car
DOrters introduced a resolution favoring
he adjustment of tips. The support of
he federation of labor was asked TO aid
nEsecuring such wages as to render tips
Unnecessary. The proposition to end
tipping in the Pullman world is as
trustworthy as it is revolutionary. If
wages are so low as to make the porter
dependent upon his fees for a fair liv-
ng, they should be raised. Certainly
1t the present excessive rates for first
lass travel, there should be margin
nough to assure a living wage to all en-
1loyes without grating upon the public
or extras. There is no phase of public
service where tipping is more consis-
emily expected or INDUCED in. Often
he tip is the reward for marked eff
,iency and courtesy. Frequently it is
given from habit or because the traveller
hates to seem stingy, although he has re-
.eived no individual attention nor has
he recipients routine work beer espe-
tally we'll done In either case the
,ratuity is a mistaken custom, debasing

Legion and Auxiliary
Hold Joint. Meeting

The get-to-gether meeting of the
American Legion and its auxiliary
last Thursday evening was well at
tended despite inclemency of the
weather
The meeting was opened by DR.
Dubois and the purpose being inspir-
ational for the Legion, number of
speakers were on the program %
represent different activities of this
community, among whom were Mrs.
c. l.. Wood, who spoke encouraging
ly Of the future need of the American
Legion to perpetuate our Memorial
Day, which, in the very nature of
things, would soon have no G.. A. r.
boys to act as master of ceremonies.
Mr. Gerber, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, represented this
city and assured the boys the city
was behind them and is looking to
them to carry on" with wartime
zeal the work begun but not finished
of making better and safer
America.
Prof. Hamilton of the College made
the boys feel the Importance of their
continuing this organization for the
benefits to be derived, not only as
members of strong organization,
but also as leaders and assistants in
q general housekeeping in public ac-
tivities- in Alma as we'll as in Con-

Der of the members spoke of their
realization of what the national and
state organizations had already
meant to them in the passing of the
Sweet Bill which provides for more
and better care for the disabled and
sick service men, and the bonus ap-
preparation which was put through
this Legislature by the organization.
Ut seems too bad that having earned
these mercies once and at such costs,
il should be necessary to personally
have to demand them, but so far, it
seems to have been the only way0
Citations were made Of specific in
stances of returned boys who had
just recently committed. suicide and
murders as the ravages of shell-shock
effects had worn on them, enlisting
the sympathy of their more fortu-
nate comrades to remember them
with mercy and charity, if there was
no more substantial way.
A few very pleasing musical mum
bers were given by Mcssrs Gala
CHER and Hamilton and by Miss Mar
ian Grover accompanied by Miss Ger
trude Thum. Prof. Hamilton led off
in a rollicking sing after which the
ladies served light refreshments and
the boys went away pledged to great
er zeal and activities.

-Four Schools To
Win Paragraphs

Lansing, Dec. S.-Four schools in
Michigan are each going to have a
monograph all their own for a
Christmas present this year. Which
schools will be the lucky ones IS still
problematical, but so much is Ger
tain that they will be rural schools.
The Michigan tuberculosis Asso-
citation has divided Michigan into four
districts for the purpose of this
award, eliminating all cities of more
than 1000 population, 1920 census.
The counties have been grouped ac-
cording, to valuation and population,
and in this way fair opportunity
is given to all.
One of the reasons for eliminating
the cities of more than 1000 Is that
in most cities local tuberculosis so
cieties offer local prizes in the Christ
mas seal sale, and it was desired to
have the rural sections of the state
have a series of prizes of their own.
In each of the four districts one por-
table photograph will be given away.
The school in each district selling the
most Christmas seals per capita,
which means per enrolled pupils IN
that school. will get the monograph
as a Christmas present from the
state association.
Strong rivalry is expected in this
contest and the state association IS
daily receiving inquiries from all over
Michigan asking about the terms OF
the contest.

It is hard to believe the sensation

There were several salads. These
they ate with forks, for II Is not con

these with their forks, for some, who
