~. S. Experiments
with Substitutes
lFor Small Coins
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Being penny-wise is a thrifty
policy, the Treasury conceded to-
day-but there's no percentage in
boarding coppers if you wind up
having to take wooden nickels for
them.
Acute shortages in war-needed
metals-chief1y copper-may soon
force the Treasury to ask Congress
to pass laws permitting changes in
specification and contents of small
coins.
To meet the emergency, the Unit
ed States Mint is experimenting
with several substitutes, including
other metals, various woods, plas-
tics and glass.
Already all the nickel-another
war metal-has been removed from
the five-cent piece, and its copper
content cut from rs to Sc per cent
That was done by special act of
Congress. In addition, the Treasury
recently cut production of pennies
by so per cent.
But increased spending promptly
hiked demand for all the small coins
and now seriously hampers the
planned conservation program, Sec
retary of the Treasury Morgenthau
announced.

etery today tollo1Us::
Here in Arlington we are in the
presence of the honored dead.
We are accountable to them
and to the generations yet unborn
for whom they gave their lives.
Today, as on all Armistice Days
since 1918, our thoughts 60 back to
the first World War, and we remem-
ber with gratitude the bravery Of
the men who fought and helped to
win that dght against German mil
itarism.
But this year our thoughts are
very much of the living present, and
of the future which we begin to see
opening before us-a picture illu-
mined by a new light of hope.
Today, Americans and their Brit
iSh brothers -in-arms are again
fighting on French soil. They are
again fighting against a German
militarism which transcends a hum
dred fold the brutality and barbar-
ism of 1918.
Axis Conquers Nothing.
The Nazis of today-and their
appropriate associates, the Japanese
have attempted to drive history
into reverse, to use all the mechanics
OF modern civilization to drive hu-
manity back to conditions of pre-
historic savagery.
! They sought to conquer the world,
and for time they seemed to be
successful in realizing their bound
less ambition. They overran great
territories. They enslaved-they
killed.
But, today, we know and they
know that they have conquered
nothing. Today, they face inevitable
final defeat.
The forces of liberation are ad-
vancing.
Britain, Russia, China and the
United States grow rapidly to full
strength. The opponents of decency
and justice have passed their peak.

all days, it is heartening for us to
know that soldiers of France 60 for
ward with the United Nations.
The American Unknown Soldier
who lies here did not give his life on
the fields of France merely to defend
his American home for the moment
that was passing. He gave it that
his family, his neighbors and all his
fellow Americans might live in peace
in the days to come. His hope was
not fulfilled.
American soldiers are giving their
lives today in all the continents and
on all the seas in order that the
dream of the Unknown Soldier may
at last come true. All the heroism
and all the unconquerable devotion
that free men and women are show
ing in this war shall make certain
the survival and advancement of
civilization. That is why on this
day of remembrance we do not
cease from our work, and that in
going about our tasks in behalf of
our fighting men everywhere, our
thoughts turn in gratitude to those
who have saved our Nation in days
gone by.
Gen. Pershing Greeted.
We stand in the presence of the
honored dead.
We stand accountable to them,
and to the generations yet unborn
for whom they gave their lives.
God, the Father of All Living,
watches over these hallowed graves,
and blesses the souls of those who
rest here. May He keep us strong in
the courage that will win this war,
and may He impart to us the wis
dom and the vision that we shall
need for true victory in the peace
which is to come.
At this moment great events are
taking place in France and Africa,
and I think it is particularly ap-
proptiate that we greet here today

United States. know that speak
for all of you here, and I know
that I speak for all Americans, men,

OF this great land, when I extend
our American affectionate greeting

Citizens Urge Curfew

That ancient curse of childhood,
the curfew, was brought up again
last night, when members Of the

would be the only practical way OF
keeping 8 and 10 year olds on the

The association is urging the Dis
trict Commissioners to make some
such regulation.
A protest against unnecessary de-
lay in tire inspection was also made
by the association. At the sug-
gestion OF Edward Brandstatter, the
association has requested the Dis
trict Commissioners to investigate
the inspection system with a view to
cutting down the time required. .
On the request of Frank M.
Thompson, the association moved to
urge a reopening of the gas-rate
case on the grounds that all the evi-
dence had not been presented at
the hearings month ago. The Pub
