TRY IT SOMETIME
The local train was pulling
out from the station. The old
gentleman was just sitting down
comfortably. Suddenly the
door burst open and a young
farmer tumbled into the coach
and seated himself, panting
and puffing, opposite the old
gentleman.
The old gentleman looked
on with obvious disapproval.
"You must be very unfit, young
man," he said after a while.
"Why, when I was young I
never panted and got out of
breath like that after a run."
"Perhaps not," retorted the
young farmer, regaining his
breath a little, "but I missed
the train at the last station."

FIRST, BUT NOT FASTEST
The English Channel is about
20 miles wide at its narrowest
point from Dover to Calais. The
first recorded swim across the
Channel was made by Captain
Matthew Webb, who started
from Dover on August 24, 1375,
and arrived at Calais on August
25, 21 hours and 45 minutes'
later. His speed was, there-
fore, less than one mile per
hour. Since then several swim-
mers have made the rough
Channel crossing in less than 15
hours; and in 1926, G. Michel
negotiated the distance in 11
hours and 5 minutes.

Dinghy for the Car
Observers of til motor age
sometimes wonder out loud,
and not entirely in jest, what
will happen when thy number
of automobiles reaches the
point where all freeways,
streets, county roads and park-
ing lots will he cllockablock,
when every available bit of
land has been paved and there
is room only to park the cars
but not to move them.
British Minister of 'Transport
Ernest M:.trple:: has appointed a
study group with something
like this its mind....
"Ideas that crust be lo''kc d
at inelude collapsible ears,'
said the minister of transport.
"Perhaps people in the future
will have' two oars and keep one
in the hoot (truck) of the other
for city use. It would not be of
steel and would be able to col-
lapse into asmallersize, We
shall also see if cars can be de-
signed which Can liiave' i tt t 0

shall try to reduce noise' and
tunics."

tlow would yuu like to have
a meal in a restaurant and pay
a good sized tip even though the
service was horrible?
This is what happens in ma-
ny places in Europe frequented
by tourists and travellers of ev-
ery description.
It is called the "service
charge" and you are usually
notified in advance that it will
be charged to the total amount

One of the really sad Things
for the traveller is the faer that
occasionally the service is real-
ly poor and other than complain
there is nothing that one can do
about it.
We sincerely trope that this
"service charge" custom stays
in Europe and does nor get im-
ported to North America, Or is
it here already'
We would suggest that trav-
ellers who object to such an ar-
bitrary. system of automatic tip-
ping should ohjec:t >trougly to
it as far as possible refusing to
patronize any establishment
which institutes this' service
