NEW YORK, March 11.-Bonds con-
tinued firm, but trading in the high

a little more than $50 per cent; ROCK

The feature in the Industrial list was
the Anglo-Chilean Nitrate Is. These
ran up a point and one-half on the
report of a new process. which will
reduce the cost of nitrate production
in Chile by more than so per cent.
Most of the oils were heavy and the
sugar issues did little.
In the foreign list attention was at
tracted by the selling OF Oriental De-

demand for Jugoslav IS, which at

BRITISH HOTEL OWNERS
AGAIN HIT TIPPING"
Another Move Under Way to Abol-
ish Custom and Substitute Extra
Charge for Service"

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON.-Hotel keepers and res
taurant owners in England are MAX
ing another move to abolish tipping
and charge 10 per cent for service"
on all meal checks.
This system is working well in Ita :"
and customers are freed from -
worry of knowing how much and
whom to tip. Mr.. Clifford Whitley and
Sir Francis Towle, two of En- 5land's
hotel kings, are now in Italy studying
the 10 per cent system at close quar-
ters. They are impressed by it and
on their return to England they in
tend to campaign for its introduction
in hotels, cafes and restaurants.
Tipping is the curse of England"
says Mr.. Whitley. He is of opinion
that hotel staff and walters are better
off, prefer a fixed percentage to the
bill and in Italy, at least, are more
respectful to customers.
