London Hotels Trip Cost
Plus Plan In Lieu of Tips
LONDON. June 12.—(JP)—Free hand
tips have been abolished in some of
the larger London hotels, as an ex
periment, and ten per cent of the
customer’s gross bill added to the
j amount he is to pay, the ten per
cent being distributed among the
servants generally. The ten per'
cent addition system has been in ef
fect in Germany for some time and
appears to work to the satisfaction
of the waiters, maids and others con
cerned because, in many instances,
when a particularly generous person
comes along they receive not only
the ten per cent but a liberal fee in
addition from the individual himself.
The idea of adding a fixed ten per
cent to the bill is something new for
London, alt ho it was tried out some
years ago in the provinces and even
tually given up. The plan has be
come general also in Italy, Poland
and some other continental coun
tries.
In Poland, Italy and Germany as
well as in the hotels here which
have adopted the plan, the servants
took the initiative and forced the
situation, and in most instances they
say they do equally as well, and of
ten better, than formerly.
Waiters in London who cater to
the American trade say they most
certainly favor the ten percent addi
tions to the bill because most Amer
icans pay that tax and give a liberal
tip beside.

Los Angeles Had Boosters
In Indian Village Times
LOS ANGELES, June 12.—(yp)—
Municipal advertising in California
ds an old game. That it was prac
ticed by the Indians of the village of
Yangno, now Los Angeles, 150 years
ago was disclosed in a recently un
earthed diary of a mission padre of
that time.
The diary tells of the padre’s en
try into the Indian village and how
the braves met his expedition with
“howls, as though they wrere wolves,
and wished to give us seeds, hand
fuls of which they threw on the
ground and some in the air.”
The methods of the aboriginal real
estate men, however, apparently
were defective. Perhaps the induce
ments they offered were not suifi
ciently attractive- They failed to
present the keys to the village as
later years have decreed a custom.
“And we proceeded northward to
Sm Francisco to settle,” the padre’s
diary relates.
