A WASHINGTON man who Is
= somewhat averse to the custom
of tipping for hat checking believes
that he discovered something new on
q recent visit to New York
Just outside the coffee shop Of
New York hotel there was stationed a
young lady hat checker, and a few
feet away there were located several
hooks for guests who did not wish to
check their hats. The first night he
placed his hat upon one Of these
hooks, along with several others, and
when he returned he found not only
his but all the other hats that were
on the hooks resting on the floor.

CHIVALRY.

S444
THAT chivalry has not died nat
ural death. even though tottering.
can be attested to by fair reader Of
this column, who quotes concrete
example to show "knighthood" still
blooms.
The young lady in question was a
passenger on bus a few evenings
ago, when a youth in his cups, pre-
sumably college boy, plopped into
the seat beside her.
Completely relaxed, with his chin on
his chest, he held a solitary, long
stemmed red rose in his clasped hands.
Not for long did he ignore the lady.
With extreme gallantry and q
pretty-but perhaps thick-speech, he
presented her with the rose, then had
q relapse.
At her corner the new owner of the
rose gently removed the youths head
from her shoulder and attempted to
slide into the aisle. Sir Gallahad
was equal to the occasion, however,
although he reused himself with some
difficulty
STEPPING aside he bowed low. To
a thank you for the rose" he gave
earnest assurance 1t was inadequate.
As the lady departed there was an
other plopping sound.
And what happened to the rose.
Oh, yes, she took it home to her hus-
band. He was sick in bed. BY COIN
cidence his hands also were clasped
when he awakened to find the evi-
dence that chivalry IS still with us.

The next night he decided to find
a table from which he could keep an
eye on his hat, and it was then that
he discovered the secret. A few mo-
ments after he was seated he noted
that his hat began to swing from side
to side and then gently, as if pushed
by a gust of wind, it fell from the
hook onto the floor. But this time
he decided to investigate, and he found
that over each hook there was a small
aperture through which air was eject

THE ANSWER

THE ANSWER
 Your criticisms are largely 2 repetition of what you nave said before regarding previous sections. All such charges have been fully answered and shown to be without foundation. You appear from them to be unduly alarmed and suspicious of the merit system as Q whole, which seems to contradict your stated sympathy with 1t in principle.
 The present charter gives the mayor dictatorial powers over many of the employees of the city. This amendment restricts these powers and assures that employees will be hired, re- talned, and promoted solely on the basis of merit, as nearly as this is humanly possible. Polit- ical considerations are outlawed.

 These sections remove from certain boards and officials the powers and duties given them under the law. It will ultimate ly make the com m ission, through the personnel director, the dictator not only of the ern- ployes but the policies of the city. Under such sweeping pow CTS, 1t will be impossible to keep out political activity, even though the usual political terms are discarded, because of the human desire for power and the almost unlimited means to use 1t which, under these sections, become the sole and uncon- trolled prerogative of the com mission and director.
