Why Not a Half Nickel2

more reluctant to put prices up than

consumption decreases as prices ad-

profits depend partly on large busi-
ness. When more than traffic Will bear
Is charged the traffic falls off.
Change making Is one of the items

done quickly If expenses are to be kept

We need another coin. Three-cent
pieces were confused with dimes and
were hard to use, because they were

JUDGE CLAYTON KNEW

Sometimes 1t comes in handy for
q United States Judge to haye been a
member Of congress-. Judge Henry ID.
Clayton, who Is on the circuit bench Of
Alabama, not long ago was trying a
case In which the question Of mans
handwriting was involved. Under the
Alabama law 1t was always necessary
to prove persons handwriting, and
the admission Of ones writing by COM
parison could not be taken In evil
dence to prove the authenticity Of a
document introduced in evidence. The
defendant sought to gain point in
his case by introducing q letter in the
handwriting of one Of the parties in
volved. Judge Clayton ruled that the
writing was admissible.
Immediately the lawyer on the
other side rose and suggested to the
court that his long service In con-
gress had probably made him rusty
in the law; that handwriting could not
be proved by comparison with writing
