Miscellaneous.
~ EAR MRS. POST: My next
80 door neighbor moved in the
day 1 did. so which of us
~ should call on the other?
If 1 do. what shall I say?
Would it be all right Just to stop by
and ask her over for tea some after
noon?"
Answer-One of you must make the
first move and, if you are a friendly
person, go to see her. by all means.
Tell her that you are her neighbor and
talk about whatever occurs to you. II
she is out, write on your card; Il am
your neighbor and would like very
much to meet you. Won't you come in
on Friday at about o'clock and have
a cup of tea with me? Very sin
MY dear Mrs. Post: I have just
moved into an apartment house which
hires two doormen and two elevator
men. Must I tip these men, and what
is the least 1 could give them?"
AnSwer-The generous rule is 10 per
cent. but per cent of your rent, di-
vided among all those you tip, would
in this day be fair percentage.
MY dear Mrs. Post: Does the length
of the trip govern the amount of tip
given to Pullman porter? I am COM
ing to New York from my home, which
is $50 miles away, and will have two
pieces of baggage. What would I be
expected to give the porter? Also what
would 1 give the porter in the Pennsyl-
vania station to put me in taxicab
and carry this same baggage? If 1 go
home in a sleeping car, how much
should that porter receiver"
Answer-Tips are in proportion to
your accommodation and to your own
appearance and what you exact. An
average traveller would give the Pull
man porter quarter and 10 cents for
each bag to the porter at the station.
For an all-day or all-night journey, tip
the sleeping-car porter so cents-or
perhaps a quarter would be enough for
one of apparently modest means.
MY dear Mrs. Post: How do I ad
dress a letter to a little boy (only 3
years.? He has the same name as his

stand no chance at all should they be
caught by either YoWler or Buster, but
they also discovered that Yowler had
no liking for water and that Buster
Bear, though he could swim, was no
match at all for them in the water, and
so they were unafraid.
"All we have to do is to make GER
tain that neither of those fellows is
about when we go ashore" said one
young Otter wisely.
Don't forget it," warned Mother
Otter.
So it was that, while they had respect
for Yowler and Buster. there was no
fear of them. In fact. those two lively
youngsters didn't know what real fear
was. In all their short lives they never
had experienced it. They spent much
of their time in the water and almost
never had been more than few jumps
from it, and in the water there never
had been single thing to fear. Fur
thermore they never had seen their
father or mother afraid. So they didn't
know what fear was.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DECREASE IN LYNCHING

The country makes a better showing for 1882
IN the number of lynchings. All told, II persons
met death at the hands of mobs compared with IA
In 1881, decline of more than % per cent
Only one state, Florida, had more than one lynch
ing during the year. South Carolina is included in
the list OF states with one blotch on its records.
Outside the South, Kansas and Ohio were the states
IN which lynchings took place.
With the exception of 1929, when there were 10
lynchings, 1882 and 1928 have the best records
since statistics began to be collected in 1896 That
the sentiment against this form of murder has
gained in strength is shown by comparison of the
total number of lynchings during the first ten
years and the last ten of the statistical period In
IsS9-94 there were 1,726 lynchings in the United
States against 1T lynchings during 1923 to 1882,
inclusive The decrease will be further emphasized
by comparing the 15S lynchings in the last ten
years with the total of 1888 since 1885. 1t may
also be of interest to know that of this total South
Carolina has less han $50 recorded against it.
The mob is an instrument of murder The peo-
pie Of the South regard it. 1t is to be hoped
That next year the country may have better
record and that the name of South Carolina NAV
not be on the list of states in which these murders
have been committed-Spartanburg Herald.

INSULL-A SYMBOL
(By BRUCE CATION

Samuel insult, according to the decision
of the Greek courts, need not come back to
America to face trial unless he wants to-;
and when you get right down to it this de-
cision probably squares with the realities
of the situation about as we'll as any could.
To be sure, insult played the game OF
frenzied finance high, wide and handsome
and he lost; and, losing, he helped lot OF
other people to lose too. But that he &C
tually, at this stage of the game, deserves
prosecution and Imprisonment as felOn is
perhaps open to question.
For Insult, after all, did no more than
push his luck a little bit too far. He gam
bled that the depression was going to be
short one, and it turned out otherwise. Ii
he had been right, the success magazines
would be full of stories about his genius,
his courage, his this, that and the other.
He simply lacked his usual quota of luck.
All of this, of course, does not mean that
the insult failure, with al the ruin and
misery it caused, is something we can laugh
off easily. A very good share OF our troll
bles today comes from precisely the sort of
financial maneuvering by which insult first
built and then wrecked a fortune. But to
pick insult out as the lone scapegoat and
demand that he be thrown forthwith into
prison is stretching things bit.
insult, after all, was only a symbol-or,
if you prefer, symptom.
There were many others like him, back
in those gilded boom years; there were
many others like him during the dolorous
years of collapse; there are many others
like him today. The system under which
he and they operated still exists. So far
there has not been any overwhelming pub
lie demand for drastic change in the now
you-see-it-now-you-don method of build
ing up holding companies dummy operat-
ing companies, stock pyramids and the
like.
1t is the very essence of that system that
time of depression is apt to bring a col
lapse. insult didn't invent the system, and
as long as times were good we praised him
as wizard because of the way he worked
it. To center ali of our indignation on him,
now, and let the system go untouched, is
not quite fair.

WASHINGTON. - Another amDi-

WASHINGTON. Another ambi
w tiOus program for government
reorganization has gone blooey.
It's failure may be traced to the
usual reasons-and few new ones.
President hoover proposed the
plan in December. 1t Ghuffled or re-
grouped IS bureaus or other fed
eral agencies, many of them incon-
sequential. Opposition grew stead
lily as the plan was studied, until
at length Chairman John ]. Coch-
ran Of the House expenditures conf
mittee decided:
Nobody appears to favor the
consultations as outlined"
So Cochran introduced a resoiu-
ton certain to pass, to disapprove
the Hoover program, which with
out disapproval would have taken
effect in 60 days after presentation.
It's easy to explain why the pro.
gram fails. Here are the general
reasons paralleling those which
have killed ambitious reorganiza-
ton schemes in the past:
!. The major changes each in
splred a certain amount of opposi-
lion while the numerous minor
shiftings were those about which
nobody cared.
z. The program succumbed be-
meath the combined pressure of all
elements opposed to individual
items. A half dozen congressman
protesting a single reallocation
might get nowhere, but when near
ly everyone is found yelling at one |
phase or another a reorganization |
measure dies.
