DOUGHTON is IN
FAVOR OF COINS
LESS THAN I CENT
One-Half Cent Piece Would Be {
Saving to Those Paying Tax
or Mailing Letters

Representative Robert L. Doughton
declared in favor Of the proposed
"Lilliputian" coins of denominations
smaller than cent in an interview
in Washington, last, week.
Although he has declared himself
opposed to the sales tax on many oc-
asions, the North Carolinian, chair
nan of the House. Ways and Means
committee, said that coinage of the
small denominati . !; would be of ben
eft to the consumer-not only in
states that have the sales tax but in
those not so encountered.
During the last Congress Mr..
Doughton introduced bill which
would have brought out half-cent
pieces.
The latest proposal is to issue
! pieces representing as small a frac-
tion of cent as mill-one- tenth of
renny-to enable citizens of states
having sales tax to pay the tax
! on small ten and fifteen cent pur-
chases.
, Mr.. Doughton said that our pres
ent coinage system works to the dis
'dvantage of the consumer, since he
has to pay the full cent on purchase,
even if the sales tax amounts to only
p fraction thereof. 1t is not the mer-
chants fault, he pointed out, since it
is obligatory for him to collect the
sales tax.
In states which have no sales tax,
he said, the present coinage system
also works to the disadvantage of the
onsumer. For example, in many
states cigarettes are sold for Is cents
a package or two packages for a
quarter. If half-cent piece were
coined, the purchaser of a single
package would benefit to the extent
of half cent, and over a year this
saving would aomunt to enough to be
worthy of consideration.
The proposal to issue midget coins
IS not proving Acceptable to the
House Coinage committee in it's pres
ent form. Some of the reasons are
that the new coins might be confused
with other present small coins; that
they would present new problem for
owners of coin counting machines and
slot machines, that bookkeeping pa
per would perhaps need an extra
column if the use of this pigmey
money became general.
President Roosevelt is reported to
have designed the shape of the new
coins, one to be square, and the other
other round with a hole in the center.

SEA SCOUTS MEET
 TOMORROW NIGHT

Resting from the hard work they have been doing to prepare the mail boat Pacific in shape for a suitable future meeting place, mem bers of the Sea Scout Ship Bar anoff will gather tomorrow night at 7.30s o'clock Oh Government Dock to inspect the Coast Guard cutter Tallapoosa.
 Earlier this week, several mem bers Of the ship, led by Robert Hall, worked until past midnight one night by kerosene lamp pre- pairing the Pacific Barnacles were seraped, cabins clean, and then, with the water level diminished with the outgoing tide, the hold was gained and work on it begun. Cement, which had been poured into the hold for ballast, was cracked with sledge hammer and drill The tilted angle of the beached vessel made difficult work of the cement removing. However, the removal of this deadweight is expected to aid materially in the job of floating the Pacific, possibly next week.
 Sea Scouts whom Hall directed included: Harry Lucas, Tom Stew art, Grant Ritter, Joe Smith and Frank Larsen.

HEW YORK, April 11.-P. Hal
Sims chance for victory in his 15o-

The portly bridge master Of Deal,
N. j., faced virtually insurmountable
lead as the match entered its second
last day today, with II more rubberS
to be played.
Culbertson and his wife, Josephine,
withstood a determined assault by
Mr.. and Mrs. Sims in yesterdays play
and brought their advantage up to
i4720 points at the end of the 133d
rubber. Early in the night the Simses
had cut the lead to 1920 points, only
to have the CulbertSons start q new
upward swing that gave them a net
gain for the day of 1,020 points.
Wives Take Day of.
Today, for the first time since the
match started, Mrs. Culbertson and
Mrs. Sims are not playing. Mrs. Gull
bertson is taking the day of to be
present at the birthday celebration of
her son, Bruce, 6.
Culbertson has Albert H. Morehead
as his partner and Sims is playing
with B. Jay Becker of Philadelphia in
the afternoon session. The wives will
return to the table for the night
session.
Eleven rubbers were played yeSter-
day and last night, the Simses win
ming six and the CulbertSons five.
The Culbertsons lead In rubbers, 73
to so, and in points, 111,330 to $3.50.
The Culbertsons' bidding generally
has been strictly according to the

Down on Six Diamonds.
Both sides were vulnerable and the
Simses had part score of so.
Culbertson dealt and passed. Sims
bid one club, which Mrs. Culbertson
doubled. Mrs. Sims bid one heart
and Culbertson then bid spade.
Sims passed and Mrs. Culbertson
calmly bid five diamonds, which
brought raised eyebrows from her
husband. After long study, he went
to six diamonds.
Mrs. Culbertson was down two on
the hand, losing the ace of spades, ace
of hearts and the queen of diamonds.
Darling, you shouldn't do that"
remarked Culbertson after the hand
was played. Just play papa and
mamma straight Culbertson. Don't
ever try to start new system right
in the middle of the hand"
The proper bidding, he explained
would have been an overcall of two
clubs by Mrs. Culbertson, followed by
Jump bid in diamonds.
Five diamonds is not in the hand
because Of the trump distribution.
