tip the waiter III restaurant?
answer: A tip Of 10 per cent is
given if the bill is large, but for a

Polish Priest in Battle
 Over Church Possession

Manchester. x. H.. Jan. , tCP)- Injuries to three persons and the arrest of another resulted from fac lional differences in the cOngrega- ton of the Holy Cross, Polish Cath olic church, here yesterday.
 The church property had been fought at auction last week by the faction opposed to the pastor, the 1t. Rev. Roman w. Slocinski. When Bishop Slocinski tried to conduct services at the church yesterday, he found the building padloclied and a legal notice of ownership on the door attesting that the church was he property of those who had pur- chased it at auction.
 In the disturbance that followed, Albert and Stanley GladysZ were in Jured and Frank Momisarik, who came to their assistance, was also hurt. They claimed they had been stabbed with a screw driver. Josct llis was arrested on a charge of simple assault.
