WANT SLOT MACHINE HOSPITAL TO VACATE

Autos Rushing Back and Forth Disturb People At Friendy Inn, (Miss Beading Says.

Citizens living on Chestnut street near Ninth are objecting to the operating of what they call a "slot machine mill" in the neighborhood. They reported to the police Wednesday that the slot machine company, said to havo charge of gaming devices recently ordered abolished by members of the board of safety, have been conducting an "exchange" near Ninth and Chestnut streets in a building formerly occupied by a bakery across the street from the Friendly Inn, and they want to know what can be done about it?

Two members of the "company," one a west end saloon keeper, have been seen taking the machines to the place in automobiles. They were covered with blankets when taken into the building and emptied. The "exchange" has been conducted for the past month and was a busy place at times. Lately, however, activities have slackened and most of the machines taken there have been stored away.

Miss Lena Redding, who has charge of the Friendly Inn, says the noise of the autos disturb the Inmates. She has also noticed the men leave the place with bags of nickles and other small coins thought to be taken from the slots. The police have no order to confiscate the machines.

It is said that two or three times a week large trunks come and haul away the nickels. Germany has complained of a shortage of nickel.

GROCER ESCAPES PENALTY.

Found Not Liable for Acts of Agent in Selling Impure Lard. The case of the state against W. EThompson, charged with selling adulterated lard in violation to the state pure food law, was dismissed in Police Court Thursday by Special Judge George Shannon, who held that the principal could not be held liable for the actions of his agent in carrying on a legitimate business. Thompson has been arrested on similar charges several times, but has always escaped penalty.

When the case was called Wednesday morning both the prosecution and the defense appeared armed with formidable looking law books. Deputy Prosecutor Johnson read several previous decisions, but the defense had a similar citation for each that held the opposite.

Bell Hopg, Waiters and Hat Girls Feel Effects of the Tightening Up.

By Hazel Nutt.

Tipping is becoming passe. And so are bellhopsDr. Tubbs, with his anti-tipping bill, did what he could to take the joy out of life for the bellhop, but he was only a surface ripple compared to the splash the war is making on the tip question.

Out at the club tips ifsed to roll right out of the pocket into the outstretched hand of the waiting bellhop—without even pressing a button. The bellhop opened a door and a dol» lar dropped his way. He handed you your hat and you handed him his dollar. It was a dollar everytlme he turned—and a bellhop jo| was more in demand than the president's.

Then the war broke. And it broke the bellhop flat. Waitresses and other tip takers suffered. The man who used to leave the shining quarter at his plate began to think of his Red Cross pledge. And the woman who had sewed all day at the Red Cress factory and dropped in a tearoom 'for a bite to ea.t torgot the waitress p.nd remembered the woman s registration coffee cup which was waiting for her dime.

The waitress only neglected to bring the finger bowl and spotted the woman as one to be avoided in future. But the bellhop beat it.

A bellhop at the club was long suffering. He watched the guests forget to tip him and he watched h.is fellow-bellhops forget to turn up on the job. And still he stuck.

Yesterday he followed a portly millionaire through the halls. He carried his hag and he took his hat. He brought him a paper and he phoned for a taxi. He brought him his hat and hp handed him his cane. He escorted him to the taxi and he opened the door. As he closed the door and stood for a moment with one hand resting carelessly, but insistently in the taxi window he heard the portly millionaire turn to hie companion and remark: "Fine thing—that Red Cross—I'm sending all my tips to the boys at the front."

And another bellhop passed away.

What the German People Are Thinking

Indicating the strenuous days through which Germany is passing in her industrial life is this resolution adopted by the metal workers' union, as printed in the Frankfurter Zietung: 'Since the working of short time is becoming ever more common In the war industry, on account of shortage of coal, electric current and materials, i demand that the workman shall everywhere be paid for the time lost.

The intolerable prices of food and all other necessities compel workmen to insist upon this demand, as a further deterioration in the!r living conditions is unbearable."

Some of the sensitiveness of the German press toward minor discords in German life is seen in this protest from the Essen Arbeiter Zeitung. concerning the wearing of uniforms in reichstag sessions: "We consider it nothing short of indescent that a deputy should address his colleagues in the reichstag in fleldgray uniform, as occurred a few days ago. "The deputies are sent to the house as representatives of their electors, and not in the capacity of soldiers. "Moreover, the thing is an insult to the army. In a war in which bloody sacrifices are being made every moment, the uniform ought not to be employed to flatter the childish vanity of

a deputy who never has been, nor probably never will be, at the front. "What, however, can be expected of deputies when the example is set by the vice president of the upper house, who now appeal's in a colonel's uniform, with the short bayonet at his side? "Their most high lordships should be made to understand that the legisIntive hodv 1s a civil awmMy,"
