TIPS FOR NON-TIPPERS.
["If taxi-cab fares are increased it will put a stop to tipping."—Evening Paper.]
Only really robust men should refuse to tip the taxi-driver. Many a City man has set out in the morning intent on giving no tips and has not been heard of afterwards.
To enable timid men to avoid a tip, the police are providing taxi-drivers with antiseptic mouthpieces, through which their words may be sterilised.
If the driver insists on a tip do not threaten to take his number. Just take it and run. If you haven't time for both, just run.

We had always thought hosiery was sold by the foot.
"On the estate of the late Hon. Lionel Walrond, Uffculme, Devon, Robert James, 97, is felling for the purpose of aeroplane construction aspen trees which he helped to plant 80 years ago."—The Times.
Three cheers for Mr. ROBERT JAMES! "For he's a jolly good feller!"
