WISE TRAVELLER
FINDS IT PAYS
TO TIP JUSTLY
TRAINS. HOTELS AND PUB
Lie DINING SALONS ARE
MAIN PLACES WHERE
PRACTICE is FOUND
BY JOAN DURHAF
A.P Feature Service Writer

Wherever people travel the
tipping problem rears its persist
emit head.
Travellers generally meet with
the problem in three places; ho-
tells, trains, and public dining
places.
For short stays, under ordinary
circumstances there's only one
person who has to be tipped in
the otelthe bellboy.
1t is the bellboy who rooms"
the guests-to use his own ex-
preston. The moment the guest
arrives the captain OF the bellboys
turns his or her baggage and room
key over to the Le.lboy who, in
turn, settles the visitor in his tenn
porary home.
Tips For Bellboy
Bellboys in higher-priced hotels
receive a minimum of twenty-five
cents Cor a guest who has approx
imate.y two bags and perhaps an
extra hat5ox or so. In less expen-
sive hotels the tip is as low as a
dime.
Once settled in his room the
guest does not need to do any fur.
Their tipping until he calls the bell
boy when lie leaves unless he
requires additional services.
# he wants meals brought to
his room he telephones room
service" Most hotels charge a set
fee for each meal served in the
guests room. In that case no
other tip is necessary.
For ANYTHING else-cigarets or
a newspaper, for instance-he
calls the yell captain. Ten or fif-
teen cents is the tip usually given
to bellboy who does such err
rands.
Porter Handles Trunks
Trunks are generally delegated
to a porter BY the BEL captain.
Because his work is more strenu-
Gus. the porter is usually given
about fifty cents, although a
quarter is enough in many hote.s.
Glsests who stay in hotel for
longer than week should leave
a tip for the maid or maids. Fifty
cents for each maid about the
minimum.
Other tips include:
From 10 to 20 percent OF the
bill in public restaurants and din
ing rooms. "a lump sum tip of
about five percent is sufficient
for an extended stay. It should be
given at the conclusion of the
stay.)
Ten cents to quarter for
checking wraps or packages at
checking desks or coat rooms.
Between 10 and 20 percent of
the bill for services in beauty
parlor. "a quarter for the first
dollar and a dime Cor each addi-
tional dollar. A dime for fifty
cents or less
A quarter to SO cents to Pull
man porter for each days travel.
Overnight trips usually mean so
cents or more.)
About 10 percent of the bill for
a taxi ride.

Falling Hair, Its Preventive
and Cure

Someone has said that AN ounce
Of prevention is worth a pound Of
eure.o We find this saying very
true in the treatment OF falling
hair. It is so much easier to keep
a healthy head of hair beautiful
than it is to grow a beautiful head
of hair on a diseased scalp.
In order to understand the prin-
cipal underlying the treatments
that stops falling hair and that
leads to the production of a new
growth of hair, we should learn
what the hair is and how the hair
grows. We are then in a position
to know when we can expect re-
suits and why.
The hair consists of a shaft start
ing beneath the surface of the skin
and projects above, and Is, tere

Gle we find the papilla or mother

the new hair is created and it Is
here we find the nerves ano blood
vessels.
The sebaceous or oil glands en-
pity into the hair foll.cle. If the
duct which leads from the seba-
ceous gland to the hair follicle be-
m clogged or stopped up, we
must not expect a healthy head OF.
hair.
We should mention the %arrectof,
muscle which is located iust below
the sebaceous gland. This muscle
does just what the name implies.
IL holds the hair shaft in place.
Perhaps you are wondering just
why we have to gone into such de-
tail. When the sebaeeous glands
the papilla and arrector muscles
are doing their work, as they
should. we have a disease free
scalp and the result a beautiful
head of hair.

Expanding Services

We discussed at some length last week the proposal that an institution for care of irlfantile paralysis sufferers be estab- liShed. We also mentioned that consider ation was being given to Sherwood Island as the site for this hospital, should approval of 1t be given. Our theme of discussion was that the state should keep it's interest in Sherwood Island only as state park. We still think any further or future development of state property there should be for strictly recreational purposes.
 However, it is not the intention of those backing the plan to create a hos pital or Sanatorium for infantile paralysis victims to limit the possible sites to Sherwood Island. The committee on humane institutions, we learn, has been paying some attention to the former site of the Seaside Sanatorium near Mantle. This was removed several years ago to another site in the town of Waterford where fine sanatorium now stands and ample seashore frontage has been ob- tained.
 Mention of acquisition of the old sanatorium site brings to this observers mind the question of seashore frontage. One of the reasons the tuberculosis sanatorium was removed to Waterford was because the necessary shore frontage could be found there. It was impossible 10 expand the sanatorium facilities at its former site because adjacent landowners would not accept the states proposition. This must recall the famous controversy the state carried on with the McCook family over acquisition of some of their land. It led at one time to Supreme Court ruling, declaring some 1,500 or 2,00O legislative acts invalid and necessi- tating a special session of the General Assembly to validate them.
 If there wasn't enough shore space for the tuberculosis sanatorium patients, all of whom were children, would there be enough room for infantile paralysis sufferers. If there wouldn't be or if in ten years expansion plans would necessitate removal of the institution, it would be far better to get different site to begin with and be secure in the knowledge that the institutions future was not threat ened.

Parkway of Bridges

To read some of the running comment on the Merritt Parkway, Fairfield County's $15,O0O,0O0 gift to the state, it must be going to be rapid succession of bridges. Perhaps that's why the designer of the Hutchinson River Parkway 'ln Westchester County, N. Y, took such a rap at State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald recently. He said that architects and not engineers should design highway bridges.
 We read recently that more than 60 bridges of various types and designs had already been built along the parkway. And a conservative estimate of AZ more to be built is also made by the depart ment At that rate there are three bridges for every mile of the parkway, which is going to be one of the many reasons why the route is so expensive to build. You can't build over-passes in these days without running up highway construc- tion costs.
 The majority of these bridges will not be over streams, but over other roads. The reason why so many bridges have to be built, according to Commissioner Macdonald, is that the new road goes through virgin territory. In other words it is being built where no roads have existed, so when river or railroad is crossed no existing abutments could be utilized. And naturally on the boulevard type of parkway, such as this is, all other intersecting roads must be crossed by bridges or underpasses
 Crossing north-south roads with the parkway is responsible for most of the bridges built so far and those to be built this year. As a matter of fact only two stream crossings and four railroads have to be built and that leaves quite a large number of intersecting roads accountable for the remaining structures. The bridges would seem to be playing as important part in cost of the Merritt Parkway as acquisition of land and rights of way.

Civilized Taxes

Whether government is civilized" remarks tax authority, "is pretty much deducible from the extent to which it imposes direct taxes. The least civilized countries levy very little where it pinches property interests, but resort to licenses, while countries where the high est civilization is apparent abandon secret or hidden tax sources"
 There is something for state legislators and taxpayers to think about. The general sales tax and the extra pennies added to the gasoline tax beyond the requirements for highways have been widely adopted because they seem painless and accumulate large sums by frequent small collections. Justice has never been claimed as a virtue of the sales tax, which takes heavier toll from the poor than from the rich.
 The Twentieth Century Fund, making detailed study of the whoe tax situa- tion, compiled mass of statistics which showed one thing quite clearly. The lower a mans income, the greater his proportionate tax burden. The whole system is complex, illogical and greatly in need of revision.

and the company added it's five, sending 10 cents to the social security ofilce, and Alderman was apparently entitled to a pension of 17 cents. He eagerly awaited receipt of the money, as the first bene- ficiary to qualify, and promised his friends party.
 But the 17 cents failed to come. The government authorities, figuring up the dates, found supreme court decision stating that man becomes 21 years old not on his ''twenty-flrst birthday" but on the last day of his twentieth year. The same principle applies to any year in any case involving age. Thus Alderman was legally 65 years old on Jan. 1, and so wasn't eligible on the day the law became effective.

Selected Poem
I'LL REMEMBER YOU

CAuthor not known in the Boston Post) When the curtains of night pinned back by the
 stars
 And the beautiful moon leaps the skies, And the dewdrops of heaven kissing the rose, It is then that my memory flies >-, As if on the wings of some beautiful dove Tn haste with the message it bears To bring you kiss of affection and say: I'll remember you, love, in my prayers. Go where you will on land or on sea,
 I'll share all your sorrows and cares; And at night, when kneel by my bedside to pray, I'll remember you, love, in my prayers. have loved you too fondly to ever forget The love you have spoken to me; And the kiss of affection still warm on my lips When you told me how true you would be. I know not if fortune be hckle or friend, Or if time on your memory wears; l know that love you wherever you roam, And remember you, love, in my prayers. When angels in heaven are guarding the good, As God has ordained them to do In answer to prayers have offered to Him, know there is one watching you. And may It's bright spirit be with you through life To guide you up heavens bright stairs And meet with the one who has loved SO true And remembered you. love. in her prayers.

We can understand the attitude of various state legislators who are of the opinion that inclusion of the proposed new veterans home at Rocky Hill should not be placed above humane institutions on the list of projects that are to be taken care of out of the 100000 available for these purposes. While the new soldiers home has been much discussed in the last few years, 1t must be recalled at the same time that it was most debatable topic. Surely everyone remem- bers the storm of protest that accom- panied the announcement that new home was to be built ar l the present one at Noroton abandoned. Well, this home is still hanging fire, but if the building program goes through as now planned 1t will be one of the first two or three big building projects to be launched. It was right up there with the Newtown state hospital, the home for the feeble-minded, and the state sanatoria on Governor Wilbur L. Cross list.

The question of legal lotteries has been brought up once again, this time in New York State It doesn't look as if the state would go in for them, when it hasn't as yet legalized the pari-mutuel form of betting on horse-races. New York has plenty of race-tracks, but doesn't like this form of gambling. It's funny the way people regard lotteries today when we are supposed to be living in an enlightened age Years ago they had state and national lotteries; some countries still have them. The proceeds go to pay for some project. Today every time one is mentioned there is much shuddering and gnashing of teeth, prov ing conclusively times change.
