Antiquated safety reâ€" gulations make it impossible for builders in London to avail themâ€" selves of the latest methods of modâ€" Council‘s buildings. The draft bill to be submitted to Parliament by the London County Council embraces the classification ol buildings into five grades accordâ€" ing to height and fireresisting matâ€" rials used, also the obolition of reâ€" strictions which limit the use of reâ€" inforced concrete and steel framing. For two years and a half a comâ€" mittee has been working out schemes to be embodied in a new bill to take the place of the present London Building Act. This is a consolidated measure which still retains certain clauses that were in operation in the 12th century, and what is wantâ€" ed now is a modern London in its London, Eng.â€"An _ increase in the height of London buildings from the present limit of 80 feet to from 120 to 150 feet is one of the aims of the London County Council in its bid to Parliament to abolish the old building law and pass a new one for the ultimate reâ€"making of the world‘s metropolis,. The speeding up in the passing of plans for new buildings is another object the LC.C. has in Skyscrapers Many valiant attempts have been made to end tipping, some on the theory that the fee degrades the reâ€" <ipient, others on the theory that it overburdens the giver; and the distribution of gratuities endures. a bed to sleep in should have to pay 10 per cent, for tips, while I, too, who come in with a mountain of luggage, may need some clothes valâ€" eted and a lot of other little odd jobs that take several people quit a little time, only have to pay 10 per cent. likewise for tips? ‘That‘s absurd. 1 know very well what you mean about feeling ashamed of tipping people. Nevertheless, as things stand, we know that quantities of people are dependent on the system, and I don‘t see what to use in its place. ! tice though it is, tipping will probâ€" ably go on because there is no adeâ€" quate way around it, I know what you are going to say: the French systemâ€"used _ elsewhere, _ too, of courseâ€"of adding 10 per cent, to the bill. But that isn‘t perfect either. Do you mean to tell me that the man who comes in and stays the night for 11s 6d., with no luggage to speak of and no wants besides his supper and t for the brassiere and panties sent home in your last laundry? Tipping? Ah, that‘s a thing! Still, you and I know this world is not a paradise, and that, detestable pracâ€" Sensible comment on the tipping »ystem was made recently by Arthur Towie, controller of the hotel servâ€" lees of the London, Midland and Beottish Railway Company, Revisitâ€" ing this country, where he learned the hotel business, after an absence of 35 years, he said: construction, hence the County To save themselys embarrassment diners have resorted in increasing numbers to cafeterias and automats where selfâ€"serving obtains. Before the depression most bootblacks took tips for granted. In many cases they must now be content with a nickel as total payment for a shine, In United States cities the probâ€" lem has been largely shelved, it not sotved, through the depression years by sheer inability of patrons to give tips. The quarter tip once so fre quently bestowed on waiters has beâ€" come almost as rare as the dodo; a voin of that amount goes to pay for the meal. Even dime tips have beâ€" come scarce; in many establishments the waiter has had to be content with a nickel or nothing. This has been hard on waiters dependent on tips to eke out wages. ‘ Services performed by the waitâ€" ers, declares the announcement, are only their duties and should be perâ€" formed without any thougat of indivâ€" idual reward. Dismissal and severe punishment are the penalties held over the heads of any waiter and his superior should a ‘cumshaw" or tip be demanded. So far from demanding tips, the waiters have been told that they must reâ€" main adamant in the face of attempts by passengers to thrust tips upon them . f (New York Sun) In a valiant effort to solve the perennial tipping problem, the Nanâ€" kingâ€"Shanghai and the Shanghatâ€" Hangchowâ€"Ningpo Railway Adminisâ€" tration of China has announced that the giving of tips to waiters on the dining cars is strictly prohibited.

That is the kind of progress in aeronautical engineering of which one hears all too little, bearing dirâ€" ectly on the safety of all kinds of aviation, civil as well as military. Undoubtedly much credit for the improvement must go to improveâ€" ments in recent years of training methods and to extension of the inâ€" structional period. Every Royal Air Force pilot, for example, is trained nowadays in "blind" flying by inâ€" struments alone, which makes for safer navigation in fog and cloud. But perhaps even more credit must: got to modern British aircraft and aero engines. Engine failure is now a rare occurrence; engines in the service commonly run 400 to 500 hours without overhaul so dependâ€" able and troublefree are they. Airâ€" eroit frames are not overhauled till they have flown some 1,000 hours. | Even in the British Isles, the force gets much bad weatherflying; it can use no region of sunshine and perfect visibility comparable, for exâ€" ample, with the great state of Texas, where much of United States miliâ€" tary flying is done. And this year‘s record is the more striking in view of the increased flying done in air exercises and manoeuvres that were conducted as far as possible under active service conditions, 1 Risks are inseparable from miliâ€" tary flying. The Royal Air Force is charged with patrol and policing duties over a million square miles of territory. It flies daily in three continents, much of the time over perilous country where engine failâ€" ure would mean disaster. The present figure shows that the 93 squadrons of the R.A.F. have sustained 19 fatal accidents in 1984, involving 28 deaths. Correspondâ€" ing figures in 1921 were 33 squadâ€" rons. 22 fatal accidents, and 37 deaths. That year the Service flew not more than 5,000,000 miles. In the worst yearâ€"1926â€"61 squadrons in all had 54 accidents, involving 85 deaths. And in ‘34 the decreased number of fatal accidents goes with an exâ€" ceptionally good record in other accidents which were not fatal but caused injuries to personnel. For comparison, the French Air Forces flew last year about 38,000,000 miles, employing about twice the number of aircraft flown in the British Serâ€" vice, which returned 44,000,000 milâ€" es in 1933; French casualties last year amounted to 45 deaths.
