You Can't Bulge Any
More Without Pennies

Long distance telephone messages
when the company can give
service at all-will have five cents
war tax added. The owners of
yachts can pay their war taxes
with half dollars or multiples
thereof. The extra tax on the in
terurban to Seattle and return
comes to 10 cents.
The movies ask for a nickel
more, which, they explain, has to
meet not only the two pennies on
the tickets, but also the penny a
foot on the films and other ways
in which the war hits them.
Scarce Article.
But most of the war taxes call
for pennies, and the penny, like
all hunted things. is rapidly be-
coming extinct.
I'VE put in an order for more
pennies at the mint three weeks
ago." said an official Of the Ma
tional Bank of Tacoma, Monday,
land in that time we have been
able to get just $3.50 worth"
Youngsters who have been saw
ing pennies, now have their par
ents at their mercy. Dad, after
denying the penny for the all-day
sucker and handing over a nickel
instead, is glad to offer SO cents
for the 4S pennies in the baby's
savings bank.
Because he will have to pay IL
cents extra for a new 81 golf club,
and put a few war stamps on
each parcel post package mother
asks him to mail; and the rest will
be just about enough to pay the
extra pennies on his income tax.

Gimme a penny, dad, to buy
an all-day .sucker!"
"a penny! / should say not!
Do you think I'm made of copper?
Here's a nickel, and that's all
you'll get!"
Dads reverse English Is justi-
fled, in view of the scarcity Of
pennies, these war-tax days.
Everybody wants pennies and
nobody has 'em.
The man who sells dad his
cigar wants a penny above the
old price.
Pennies Everywhere.
The postmaster wants an extra
cent postage on each letter.
Three per cent added to club
dues figures up to uneven num-
bers, generally.
Dad has to pay s cents on every
800 in his life insurance policy.
and three cents on every 81 that
the family Ford cost. Mother has
to add three pennies to the price
Of each new record for the phono-
graph, and to each dollar she pays
for toilet soap and face powder.
The children have to pay two
per cent more for their chewing
gum.
Cant Escape IL.
II the constant call for pennies
gets ON the family's nerves, and
they decide to pack up and leave,
every dollar that the railroad fare
costs has to have q nickel and
three pennies added to 1t.
Occasionally the war-tax can be
paid without the use of pennies.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. e.
Economy logging which will take
80 per cent Of spruce log. in
stead of per cent for airplane
construction was discussed at a
conference of lumbermen and gov-
eminent experts here today.
Plans for more complete utill-
eaton of airplane spruce have
been worked out by the intelli-
gence department of the adjutant-
generals office. ..
Lumbermen said the plans were
practicable and many mills have
adopted them.
Senator George Chamberlain,
chairman of the military affairs
committee; Governors Lister Of
Washington and Withycombe of
Oregon and other prominent men
were at the meeting.
Under the government plans
spruce logs will be split into rough
shakes, rather than sawed. This
plan, they say, will add greatly to
the strength of the timber.
