over 100 iron washer and about
iifty pieces of cardboard carefully
cut to the size of a cent have been
discovered in the penny in the slot
paper cup vending machines in the
State Capitol at the end of the
monthly roundup. In addition two
persons contributed a nickel each
and one person gave a dime for a
cup. A large collection of pennies
was found but indications are that
rather Penn is out a certain amount
of money and some one has more
paper cups than the law allows.
The washers were found all over the
building, every machine having beer
worked" The use of the paper
pennies is a new one. The paper
u machines are an accommodation

supplies and maintenance
OF the machines considerably more.

That item about the beautv ~
the william Penn highway between
Amlty Hall and Newport, is all true.
