UP IN ARMS IN
PARIS ON TIPS
FOR SERVANTS
French Women Angrj at
Habit of Domestics’
Grafting.
PARIS, May 3.—ls the Paris house
hold to be reduced to the level of the
khotel restaurant by the necessity of tip
"plnp servant girls 10 per cen tof the
value of all the food one eats? This
Is the angry demand from housewives
of the French capital. The new custom
of giving the servant 10 per cent bouus
on the value of all the food she buys,
at market is rapidly spreading, and
now ret infrequently the maids make
this a condition of employment.
The 10 per cent tip to your own ser
vant is the result of the firmly estab
lished system of petty graft which in
many sections of the city has been or
ganized between cooks and shopkeepers.
When the maids go to market they carry
with them a little book, in which the
butcher, the grocer or vegatable man
write down the amounts with which the
employer is charged. At the end of j
ihe ruonth the bill is settled.
In order to get the maids to do all i
the buying at their stores instead of 1
across the street the shopkeepers offer
the girls a commission on everything
bought. This commission, of course,
comes Out of the pocket of the employer.
Frequently the employer is grossly over
charged, and the shop and the servant
spilt the money.
In order to stop this abuse employers
began to offer the cooks or maids a com
mission if they would solemnly promise
not to conspire with the shopkeepers to ,
rob them. The idea appealed strongly
to the servants, and now the 10 per cent
commission is frequently the only con
dition under which cooks will take era
playmenf. I*f course, the commission is
in addition to the regular standing
wages.

Residents.

through space to the south of here and
disappeared in a thunderous roar, fright
ening residents of many coast towns.
Window panes in residences in Toms
River were shattered by the explosion,
and the gases, polluting the atmosphere
for more than a quarter of an hour, cOm
pelled the residents to hold dampened
handkerchiefs to their nostrils. In Lake
hurst many of the buildings were shaken
but the gases were not noticed.
The atmospheric phenomenon is said
Ito have lasted for about a minute. Only
a tiny streak of light at first, It became
beautifully colored as It neared earth
and at times appeared to halt momentar
ily in space, adopt anew course, then
zig-zag back again
The meteor fell into the sea. about a
mile off shore, at Seaside Park, thirty five
miles south of here, with an explosion
that shook residences and threw spray
to a great height. Volumes of steam
then arose, and, drifting ashore, nau
seated many.
The meteor is described as having the
appearance of a gigantic airplane on fire.

RADIO JAZZ
HALTS SERMON
Barber’s Musical Ear Causes
Trouble in Church.
NEILLSVILLE, W!s„ May 3.—Floyd
Hanson, the barber with the famous
“radio" ear, went to church the other
evening with his fiancee, wearing his lat
est Invention, a radio hat, which he says
amplifies his natural facility of receiving
radio messages.
The pastor was In the midst of his ser
mon when strains of the Jazziest of jazz
music became distinctly audible In the
church, drowning out the voice of the
preacher. Confusion reigned and all eyes
instinctively turned to Hanson, much to
the embarrassment of bis fiancee. Han
son struggled mysteriously with his
“hat.” It took him several minutes to
shut off the machinery. Then the music
stopped.
Hanson claims that with his hat he can
always hear some kind of a concert.
Many times when walking to and from
work he steps lively to the tune of some
stirring march, whistling the tune with
his radio as he goes. When his "girl”
Is with him, he has even danced to the
music.
