GIRLS PAY FOR WAITING
Are Charged $1O . Week for Priv ilege of Working in Restaurant- Tips Average 312 . Day.

New York. May 2 (UP)-Alice Foote McDougal. who has been wide ly commended for her striking suc- cess as a business woman, has let the public in on one of her success secrets.
 She charges waitresses $10 a week for the privilege of carrying trays and picking up tips in her Grand Central Terminal restaurant. sThat fact came out when one of the girls paid her s10 and then was discharg- ed before her week was up.
 When the company refused 10 re- fund the girls $10 she went to court where she won considerable sym pathy from the judge.
 To counteract the criticism result ing from the court exposure, Mrs. McDougal explained that tips at the branch restaurant in Grand Central run as high as $1c.50 a day. That makes waitress jobs at the terminal so valuable that waitresses in other branches of the McDougal organiza- ton become dissatisfied. In fairness to waitresses in other branches. Mrs. McDougal set pre- mium on the Grand Central jobs. She says she takes the S10 and dis tributes 1t among employees in the other restaurants where tips average only about $5 a day.

Raising her child on
 common sense

HERE'S . baby that is being II brought up in the way he should go, on plain, sensible kind of rule. His mother learned it from her own experience before he was born. Just keep your system in good working order, her doctor told her, land you'll never have anything to worry about"
 So, of course, when the baby came she made up her mind to follow that same plan with him. The doctor gave his hearty approval. Go ahead and use Nujol'', he said. Its just the thing for the baby. Harmless. Safe. Contains no drugs or medicine. It's the most natural way in the world to keep everything normal. For Nujol not only prevents any ex- cess of the body poisons i've all have them) from forming, but also aids in their removal.
 Let me give you another suggestion, too. Use Nujol on the outside of the baby. In place of powder. Just swab his skin, after the bath, with a bit of cotton moistened with Nujol. That's the new method they're using in the big hospitals. It has a wonderfully soothing, softening ef- feet on the skin. There's no need for any baby to have rashes and cha6ng if you use Nujol. Get big bottle and keep it specially for the baby. Get separate bottle for yourself" Why don't you try Nujol in your household! It was perfected by Nsjol Laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (New Jersey.)
 Nujol can't do anyone-baby or grown-up-the least bit of harm. And so many people have found it beneficial. Be sure you get the genuine.

Paris Municipal Councillor Starts War Against the ''Gtgolo''-Yomg Men Who Pilot Dowagers."


 Paris. May l tUP)-Municipal Councillor Ferdinand Larent has embarked in . one.man war against the Gigolo"-the Parisian equiva- lent of the American lounge lizard.
 These sleek. dark-haired. olive tinted young men. with shifty eyes. frequent the fine dancing places and pilot dowagers from across the seas through the mazes of the tango and charleston.
 Councillor Laurent complains that they are not frank.
 They call themselves students, or clerks or just artists" he said in an interview with the United Press, ''But in reality they are nothing more or less than gigolos.
 Perfect of police Chiappe Is carrying out . commendahle camp aign of purifying Paris. But in not including these young men alone with their sisters-in-arms the demi- mondaaines. he has not gone far enough. These young so-called society dancers' should be under police control.
 Usually they are ne'er-do-wells from Balkan countries. young Rus sian refugees who never knew what it was to work, or just plain crooks who want to pretend to be some thing diffeffrent. They are not danc- ing professors. More often than not they are sellers of drugs. They in- toxicate elderly women with hne phrases and pretense of making love. The rest is easy. After that they don't have to depend on tips or the dollaF or so they get after each dance. Y am going to ask the municipal couucil to order that these young fellows must, when they obtain the identity cards re- quired of foreigners, give their real business. They must say openly they are professional dancers. Then we will know where we stand when we get one of them on one charge or another. Also the income tax collec- tor can get an Idea of what they earn and tax them accordingly. EH- erybody but themselves will benef1t.'

 This plan was discussed last night at Mayor Paonessa's first meeting with the memorial committee. The mayor had arranged the meeting for 6 discussion of finances.

At the mayors suggestion. the committee will prepare a budget for approval at the next meeting of the common council.

CRISIS IN EGYPT
 IS LESS SERIOUS
Conditions Tike More Favorable
 Turn Today

London, May ! R-The Egyptian crisis took a favorable turn today when Sir Austen Chamberlain, for eign minister. announced in the house of commons that the instruc- tions which 1t had previously been thought necessary to give to certain British warships had now been coun- termanded.
 The British cabinet discussed the Egyptian reply to the British de- mands this morning. The reply had been handed to the British high commissioner at Cairo last night. It explained that the public assemblies bill 10 which the British government took exception. had been put aside until next November. This did not meet the desires of Great Britain which demanded its withdrawal.
 The Egyptian note. however. ex- plained the difficulties of withdrawal of the bill in view of the previous action of the Egyptian legislature, and this was taken into consideration by the British government. 1t is probable that there will be further exchanges before definite action is taken on either side.
 Immediately on the delivery Of the British ultimatum to the Egyptian premier. allowing a three day limit for compliance with the British de- mands for withdrawal of the as- semblies bill. British warships put out from Malta. It was presumed they were on their way to Egypt, but 1t was announced officially from Cairo that they were proceeding to Corinth. Nevertheless it was under stood that they were to be in read iness for whatever emergency arose in connection with the Egyptian trouble.
 The British foreign minister also announced that the British reply to the Egyptian governments note, while welcoming its sentiments. warned the Egyptian government that if the assemblies bill were re- vived or similar legislation intro duced Great Britain would again be obliged to intervene.
 It could enter upon no discussions of the declaration of 1922.
 Sir Austen went on 10 say that the Egyptian note was a lengthy document. which he would issue for publication tomorrow. He read the British governments reply.
 Pressed as 10 whether inc Egyp- tian note was couched in friendly terms. Sir Austen said that in the l.ote he had just read we take note Of the fact that the Egyptian gov ernment state that their decision was taken in conformity with their ardent desire to reach an understanding and "ith conciliatory sentiment l think fha' is q sufficient 'ansWer.'

U. s. AS 4 COMPETITOR

Business men are generally op- posed to having Uncle Sam as d business competitor, and with good reason. Private enterprises have to pay taxes. license fees. and overhead charges. besides being called upon to contribute to in numerable projects for community betterment. A government com petitor has none of these expenses.
 The private enterprise in order to continue to exist must earn a reasonable profit. But if a govern ment business loses money the tax payers make up the deficit
 An illustration of this is seen in the Post Office Department which is competitor of printers all over the country. By printing stamped envelopes it is daily talk ing a great volume of business from small printing plants which are a great convenience to their com munities and should be encouraged rather than hindered by the gov ernment.
 There is no excuse for the gov ernment's engaging in any busi- ness which may be efficiently and economically conducted by it's pri- vate citizens, whether that busi- ness be large or small. The whole history of the government in busi- ness is filled with examples of in competency and losses which the taxpayers have had to make good.
 The National Association of Man ufacturers is strongly opposed to Government operation of industries. All these might well lend hand to the printers of the country in their effort to end the unfair com petition of the Post Office Depart ment.-Exchange.

FRIENDLY MINE

It's time to quit kicking the mines around.
 To hear some people talk you would think mining nothing but a gamble and scandal. an investment for easy marks. a business for stock salesmen and pathetic dreamers.
 You would never think for a moment that mines make possible modern civilization. Yet they give us the steam engine and coal that feeds it. the dynamo and the bulb it lights. the telephone transmitter and receiver and the wire that car ries the message. the automobile, the safety razor. the pen point. the typewriter. the linotype machine and the battery that drives the ra dio. the reproducer. that makes the phonograph work
 One could go on for five or six columns.
 Back Of all industry are produc- ing. active, paying mines.
 Every good business invites the crooks who make capital out of it's successes. Perhaps mining has more than it's share And yet. if one is to believe the statistics. min ing has fewer failures than other businesses. Take any field of in dustry and you will find it dotted with the bleaching skeletons of the people who gamble ilI-advised- iy.-Boise Statesman.
