Mother Forbids

Dear Miss Lee: | am a girl q "A agnd

m mS age 't 70 run around d's With me Boys
Don't YOU think she's cld-faehioned ~
Lee? Since ] am not. allowed 70 do that
around With girls very much younger than
!, but the girls OF my age and older spend
their time with the boys 90 what whl
infant. She WIN very seldom let me 80
out at night unless there II q grown per
son, tagging along. Do You r1 sEFs ssru, Si'h
her? H1eANVAS.
Yes, Frances, think mother is
very wise. You must be a girl OF
little imagination and initiative u
the only things you can think OF
are boys. do not believe that your
mother would forbid your having
boy and girl friends at your house
to make candy or play games occa-
sionally. What she no doubt and
rightly objects to is her little daugh-
ter going out with a cub OF a boy
alone, both trying to be grown up
and sophisticated enough to pet and
do the rough things they've heard
older boys and girls we're doing.
Better be a little girl while you can,
Frances. You'll be a grown woman
a long. long time. 1 think that friend
ship with boys should come grad
ually and naturally into the lives OF
girls, not be sprung upon them all
at once just because they are IL OF
IS or 10, and of age. But I do
think mother is wise TO send
grown-up tagging" along Tor a
while.

"Oh, no, Mrs. Prescott. 1t is not
at all serious, but the doctor wants
the new skin to be thoroughly
healed before he uses his leg in any
way, and as Mr.. Prescott is so de-

they take that moving picture,

excuse to keep him in the house
today"

yesterday that probably after you

I looked up In surprise. Thomas
was not wont to joke, but it did not
seem possible that little Jack could

me.

TIPPING ACCORDING TO
GOVERNMENT RULE

Pullman porters, belI-hops and
walters have a real grudge against
the United States government since
it limited the tipping expenses of it's
travellers. And the travellers themV
selves, after scanning the govern
! ment's expense regulations, are pre-
pairing either to dig down into their
own pockets or to be prepared for
.. the constant contempt Of the fee-de-
manders.
According to these regulations,
walters are allowed so cents a day,
while bellhops and maids get 80
cents. Baggage porters can have 15
cents for the first piece of luggage
carried, and 10 cents for each addi-
tional piece. Porters in chair cars are
allowed 25 cents a trip, while sleep
ing car "boys" get 25 cents for each
vice. Tips to other servitors in pro-
portion.
In comparison with these figures,
local travelingmen show that their
tipping fees run into real money.
One traveller pointed out that his
meals on the road cost him about
$3.50 a day, and the go cent limit
allowed for tips by the government
was high enough in this case On the
other hand, 80 cents for beIl-boys
and maids is very low if their SER
vices are used to any extent. And,
some men say, a quarter to pull
man porter is an open invitation to
have tacks put in your berth.
However, the traveller is not the
man who squanders the largest
amount of tipping. This honor goes
to the man who seeks amusement in
the expensive clubs and cabarets of
city. There everybody wants a tip,
and the supposed 10 per cent limit is
hopelessly inadequate. The doorman,
the coat check girl, the waiter, the
head waiter, the elevator boy,-all
these must be fed if the amusement
seeker is to keep up his reputation
and his self-respect.
But the traveller who is limited in
regard to his tipping often spends
many an anxious hour over his ex-
pense account, and he gets to sincere
ly hate a uniform and an outstretch-
ed hand.

SCIENTISTS TO DE- VENOM
THE OLD RATTLESNAKE

Science has stretched out its hand
in the form of the newly organized
Antivenin Institute of America to
take death dealing powers from the
rattler, moccasin and other venom
! Gus snakes.
DR.. Afranio de Amaral, from the
state of Sac Paulo Serum Institute
and snake farm in Brazil, has assum-
ed dictatorship of the organization
and has returned to Harvard from
summer tour of the United States,
studying the dangers of the differ
ent localities and organizing the in
stitute which is to combat them.
Behind this war on poison are Har-
ward University, the United States
army, the Mulford Company of Phila-
| delphia and the United Fruit COM
pany of Boston. The battle has open
ed on two new fronts this summer,
| Central and North America, beside
the Brazilian state.
The scientific base of the North
American division has been establish
ed at Harvard The experimental
stations, where the serum is prepar-
ed at Glenolden, Pa. Field stations
! for the capture Of the reptiles, the
extraction of their venom, and the
distribution of the life saving serum
are at San Antonio, New Orleans and
San Diego.
The field workers go into "snake"
country and lasso the reptiles with
loop of t%ine on the end of a
stick. They are then shipped to the
central snake houses Of the field sta
tions. The venom is extracted by
squeezing the gland contents out
through opened mouth. The venom is
dried and the resulting yellow crys-
tails are sent to the Glenolden station.
| The snakes live about six months in
captivity and every fortnight they
are forced to give up their store of
poison. They are not fed, for the
venom is a form of saliva used in di-
gestion.
At Glenolden, solution is made,
tested and standardized. Then, very
gradually so that the animals are not
made i'll, the solution is injected into
horses. After six months of this
| treatment the horse is bled and yields
up the serum which is said to have
the power to save either human or
| brute.
