THE TIPPING CUSTOM

While many attempts have been made
TO eradicate it, even by the passage of laws,
the tipping habit persists, through lack of
courage on the part of the public to resist it.
Originally, no doubt the custom of CIV
ing tips to servants was inspired by kindly
motives, but it has grown to be a nuisance
simply species of petty graft. Many EN-
ployers of low class help pay iniserably small
wages, with the knowledge that tips from
customers will supply the deficiency. En-
ployees accept the small wages, or often no
wages, with the same understanding. Con-
sequently the public pays in the aggregate
vast sums for which no service whatever is
rendered.
The effect of the tipping custom is Who'll
ly bad, because those who accept the gratui-
ties must lose somewhat in self respect
while those who pay them do so simply be-
cause it is expected and they do not wish to
appear Stingy.
One restaurant recently displayed a
sign which read: 1--WE pay our walters living
wages and do not permit them to accept
tips" That sign inevitably caused patrons to
hold higher opinion of the proprietor and
his walters.

It's a kind of a fashionable way of

were. They string out and they go
pretty near over to Japan (not too

they sure do look like they were

It is said that only 100000 automibles will be
made in America this year.
Think what an amazing accomplishment such a
production represents--more than two billions of
dollars invested in labor and material produced by
labor.
Some of us are richer than realize some in
good qualities, others in money.
The late julius Rosenwald had both. His for
tune, it is said, amounts to close to five hundred
million dollars. And excepting for what he gave
away, he had taken steps to deprive national or
state government of its share through inheritance

The difference between trained fighters, prepared,
and the unframed, is shown in recent defeat for
Japan by China" The Japanese company nearly
wiped out numbered sixty men. The Chinese that

nearly one hundred to one.
The population of China is only about six times
that of Japan and the south of China hates the north
of China and vice worse than either hates the

ECONOMIC LEAGUE VOTE

Results of referendum vote on several
public questions by members of the national
council of the National Economic League, a
non-partisan body composed of leaders in var
ious walks of life, have just been announced.
There were 1,6O7 votes cast, the percentage
In favor of the various proposals being as fol-
lows:
For cancelling German reparations and
international war debts, only IA per cent vot-
ed yes For reducing them, 80 per cent
For further postponing payment, Al per cent
For reducing existing tariff schedules,
rs per cent. For raising them, 3 per cent.
For keeping them as they arc, 22 per cent.

preventing excessive imitation and deflation,
81 per cent. For their utilizing the power OF

While the vote on the above proposals
was not numerically large, it is believed that
it represents an important croSs-section of

FAMOUS WAR
CHAPLAIN, DIES
Beloved Priest of Fighting

By United Pre9s
NEW YORK, June 27.-The spirit
of Father Francis Patrick Duffy,
beloved chaplain of the Fighting
Sixty ninth" of the wartime Rain
bow division, has rejoined the thou
sands of men who died on the bat
tie fields of France where he served
them.
The present colonel of his old
regiment was at the bedside until
near the end. Thousands of others
through the nation and especially
in New York, home of the old
SiXty-ninth, known in war days as
the Sixteenth infantry. mourned the
chaplain who died at the age of 81.
Father Duffy will have a military
burial. The Sixty Ninth" will at
tend the services Wednesday. An
other veteran of Americas wars,
Mgr. John P. Chadwick, chap
lain of the battleship Maine when
it was blown up in Havana harbor,
will preach the funeral sermon.
Death came to Father Duffy
early Sunday after an illness of
three months from an intestinal
infection.

decorations from his own and the
French governments for his de-
votions to his men under fire during

" Former Governor Harry

son" in every sense Of the term.
Virginia's twenty-four delegates
will vote for him at the Demo-
cratic national convention and he
will control them throughout, be-
cause he unquestionably is Demo-

Furthermore, there is popular
enthusiasm for him among Vir-

name is not being merely used as
a hitching post, pending a po-
litical trade.
Byrd is not considered more
than a long shot in the contest
for the presidential nomination,
but he will be one of the four or
five outstanding possibilities when
the party picks man to run for
the vice-presidency.
The fact that the party doesn't
