"None, monsieur; they were either

"But I do not understand the rea-

WHY NOT HALF NICKEL
Boston Globe)

The ham sandwich, which was once
five cents now frequently costs a dime
The same disturbing truth applies to
other thing sin common life, but in
side and outside Of lunch rooms. There
is no need of statistics from econo-
mists to inform that the cost of living
has advanced. Every spender of
money knows 1t. Retailers are more
reluctant to put prices up than is gen.
orally realized. They knows that con-
sumption decreases as prices advance.
That means less business and profits
depend partly on large business. When
more than the traffic will bear is
charged the traffic falls of.
Change making is one Of the items
in up-to-date retailing. 1t must be
done quickly if expenses are to be kept
down. The young woman at the
lunchroom desk has not time to count
pennies. She must deal in nickels.
dimes and quarters if she is to main
tain her astonishing speed and &C
curacy. To raise prices two or three
cents would necessitate an extra CASH
Ter, that would mean an extra salary.
We need another coin. Three-cent
pieces were confused with dimes and
were hard to use, because they were
not fractions of other currency. No
one but a statistician thinks in deci-
mails. The rest of us do our sums in
fractions. Four three-cent pieces
make IL cents, but there is no such
coin. Eight of them make "a cents,
but the coin almost corresponding is
worth one cent more. If three-cent
pieces were again issued they would
not I'LL tho bill.
With a half-nickel it would be diff
ferent. Half nickel is a fraction of
every coin from the mint. Were there
such a coin fiye-cent raises would not
have been so common. If there should
be such coin many prices would come
down.
The form and material for a half
nickel is a problem for the real
makers of money. That it should be
produced is a concern Of us all.

THE CRIMES OF TIE CAT
New York TrIbunel

NiNtW hOIh AIiuuutl
IL is very damning indictment
which Mr.. Edward Howe Forbush,
State orinthologist Of Massachusetts,,
draws against cats In the Journal OF
American Museum Of Natural History
There are 100000 cats in the United
States, and those in New York State
alone kill 100000 birds a year, he es
Inmates. They have exterminated GER
tain species OF birds. They destroy
frogs, rabbits, shrews, moles, toads
and lizards, and IL so many insect de-
stroyers hadn't been cut off in their
Prime who knows but that the gypsy
moth, the brown-tailed moth and the
elm-tree beetle might have been kept
in their proper place instead of erupt-
ing all over the face of nature and
costing the state of Massachusetts $9,-
100000 in one year? Expensive little
Preside ornaments, you see.
II you must have a pet other than o
dog or a pony or baby have some
thing useful, suggests Mr.. Forbush. A
nice little sherw, for example, or q
cold handful of toad, or perhaps a liz
ard or a salamander. We confess that
ever since Mr.. Kenneth Kraham wrote
about Mr.. Toad in his wind in the
Willows" we have entertained a rather
amiable interest in the family. In ad-
dition to such companionship as you
would get from your little friend you
would have the satifaction of know
ing that he was nobly raiding the in
sect world in your belief when not on
duty in your lap. Licenses for cats is
Mr.. Forbush's demand Such a system
would cut their numbers in half, he
believes.
There is something on the otner side
of the ledger. If we destroy the cats
who destroy the toads who destroy the
gypsy moths, who will be left to de-
stroy the rats and mice? Irish ter
riers, you answer. An excellent idea
If every cat destroyed should be re-
placed by a good ratter. But good
ratters are not frequent even among
terriers, and there are endless honest,
law-abiding human beings, strange as
1t may seem, who will have a Tabby
and will not have a dog. So the rats
and mice would play, we fear, II any
large raid upon cats were effected.
That is one reason why it will be
hard for Mr.. Forbush to prevail. And
there are others. Cats utterly refuse
to die. They propagate with miracu-
lous efficiency and their defenders are
legion. They have a way with them, a
feline, feminine way, and there is no
denying its lure. Many, many things
and beings ought to be put out of any
Just and intelligent system, and yet
they persist in this world of ours year
after year. Hogs in the shape of men
and cats in the shape of women, for
example. Any little thing we can do
to help Mr.. Forbush we shall be glad
to do. But his goal is the millennium,
we fear.
