COUCH (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, July 7,000,000 persons in the United. States now depend on "tips" or gratuities for a inajor part of their earnings, the occupation, report of the 1920 census soon to be issued is expected to show.

This would be an increase of A.Pr proximately 2,000,000 persons in the tipping oceupations since 1910. Advancing living costs and "national. extravagance" are causes for the increase, according to students of social causes and government offcials who study the reports. Some of these deplore the rapidly in. creasing number of persons in the tipping occupations.

About 000 women now depend on tips as a regular part of their earnings, reporte indicate. The number of occupations in which tips are regularly coming to be regarded as a part of the com-1 pensation is also increasing. More than 100 such occupations now have been listed including that barbering in which until a few years ago tips were unknown, chauffeurs, messenger boys, manicurists, and department store Labor unions officials are coming to be interested in the tipping occupations. One tipping practice tends to keep down. wages, union ofeials say: ome labor officials are giving support to the American Anti-Tipping society which recently established headquarters here for a long term national educational campaign.

So it was among these true American artists that Mr. Borein has had much of his training, Obviously, he chooses to be known as an etcher, rather than as painter, however.

As an etcher, his love for color is obvious. His tones are rich and luscious in most of his plates--although he insists that his best things were off to -his light and dark the honest result of lines. No plates--the old tricks of the trade. His values are honestly won, as manifested in some of his Old Mission series. There is danger in the artist's violent reaction from the modern movement-that.

is, moving from the broad, loose technique of his "Sheep" plate into a meticulous method, where detail is observed to 'sible weakening of the central thought or idea. However, since he is working for detail, he must be judged by his success in achieving it. But wouldn't he go further if he had not rightabout-raced when he WAS working in the matter subtle manner of suggestion, the manner of moderns? The etcher is at work upon his Old Mission series that has. as much historic as asthetic interest, which should not minimize its art value, unless Fact be permitted, to dominate Beauty.
