to 1t in its present form"

plants from changing to one Job

their employers or without obtain
Ing permission of the United States

from the leader of woman's bag

could not join up. She also chal-
lenged the Marines to a bagpiping
contest.
Accept kits Challenge.
The Marines accepted the idea of
wearing kits so readily. Capt. Kirk
man believes. partly because of the
challenge to their ability and partly
because Of the reputation of the
Ladies From He'll" the killed

Fighting troops no longer wear skirts
except for parachutists, so the name
may be changed to Ladies From

Besides says Capt. Kirkman, IT
told them it would require as much
courage to parade in kits as to fight
at Guadalcanal and this made them
mad"
The challenged Maj Dugan re-
piled there was nothing his Marines
were afraid to do, even to wear
skirts.
A local composer will rearrange
the Marine hymn for the pipes.
Not only will the band be a ges-

Duck Chase by Plane.
There is also a report from a
Navy sky-rider, Ensign Alfred Nor
com. on the subject OF the fight
speed of duck. The report came on
the second hop through a letter
from his mother Mrs. Morcom
wrote from the homestead at Brain
tree, Mass:
One OF my sons, Ensign Alfred
Morcom, has written to me how the
Navy airmen would chase ducks up
the river near the Jacksonville
Naval Air Station. He said the boys
would fly along at about so knots
an hour until they scared up the
ducks and then would chase after
them. He added that they never
could get near them because the
ducks could turn so easily.
Ensign Alfred is, incidentally, one
Of Boo Morcom's brothers. Boo has
four brothers in the service who,
this winter, will be tuning in to
hear how he is doing in the indoor
competition at Madison Square Gar
den instead of attending the meets
to root for him. We are hoping
that Boo will have one more season
OF jumping before entering active
service. He is a sergeant in the
ROTC at the University of New
Hampshire"
Boo Morcom, of course, is well
and favorably known to the track
and field fans of this country as
the on e-s h o e-off-a n d-the-o other
shoe-on New Hampshire high jump
er and one of the best pole vaulters
in intercollegiate competition. He's
popular lad and everybody roots
for him. But, with the family rec
ord exposed, the feeling in this

should go up more than a feeble
cheer for a mother with four sons
in active service and another one a

Growing Costs Force

Report by Association
Traces Increase to
Expensive Deliveries
BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The in
creased costs of putting cut your
daily newspaper were reflected in a
report by the American Newspaper
Publishers Association that more
than half of the reporting papers
now charge cents copy on retail
sales.
Of LIS general circulation daily
papers surveyed, 1876, or So per cent
listed cents as the price for week
day editions, Sundays excluded.
A year ago check of l .767 papers
showed BOG, or 46 per cent priced at
5 cents. In 194l, of / 1921 replies, 1874.
or A per cent priced week day edi-
tions at cents.
The boosts, replies received during
the survey indicated, were made
necessary by higher wartime produc-
ton costs. Increases would be per-
missible under Federal price regula-
tions which specifically exclude
publications from control.
Penny Newspaper Gone.
The penny" newspaper, once an
American institution, apparently is
on its way out, the survey indicated.
Only four papers listed a cent
copy, as against nine last year.
After the nickel papers, the largest
price group was at 3 cents, but this
years check-up showed 80 per cent
of daily papers in that class, sharp
drop from the AZ per cent Of 1912,
indicating a large shift from the
Scent level to and 5.
There was a sizable percentage
increase in the number charging
cents copy. TO 10 per cent of the
reporting group, from l.8 per cent
year ago. .'~.eaHl.
Two-Cent Papers Decline.
Five per cent of those replying to
the ANPA questionnaire now charge
2 cents a copy. compared with 10
per cent in that price class in 1912.
The long-term uptrend in circula-
ton prices, which has also seen
boosts in the prices of such ma
tionally distributed magazines as
Golfers and the Saturday Evening
Post, was stimulated during the first
year of war.
A survey made last December
showed more than half the daily
papers in the United States had
been forced to increase their circula-
ton rate structures, at least in part,
since the war began in 1899 Much
Of the cost increase was attributed
to deliveries, both by motor route
and other means, while most depart
ments have been affected to varying
degrees.

October I was fishing for st.Nped bass
off Martha's Vineyard. Not a breath
of wind stirred. The sea was CLASSY
clam and literally dotted with duck
black, oldsquaw and "coot." as We
call 'em, though you probably know
them AS scooters. Anyway. they led
the field in numbers The birds we're
extraordinarily tame this year be-
cause the Coast Guard has prohib-
tied shooting in this section.
About 30 yards off our starboard
bow noticed a coot bobbing up and
down in most peculiar fashion,
Tapping its wings violently, but
making little or no progress. 1t
seemed to be riding unusually low
in the water We first thought that
it was another poor critter mucked
up with fuel oil all over its feathers
Presently one wing disappeared and
then the other, leaving only the
coot's head and half It's neck in
view.
What's Cooking?
Curiosity overcame us. We stop
ped casting and ran our boat over
to see what was cooking. There.
Just under the surface, was nasty
looking fish that you probably would
have called a Lophius piscatorius,
but we called an angler fish. monk
fish and or gooseflsh. The Lophius
piscatorius, ordinarily a bottom fish,
had the entire coot with the excep-
ton of its head, in it's cavernous
mouth.
Il gated Lophius, &c, low in its
hull and hauled it aboard-all 4
feet OF 1t. With the aid of the gaff
and pair of heavy tweezers, we
pried open those teeth-laden Jaws
and removed the coot. With the
exception of few marks, near
exhaustion from struggling and a
double dose of plain barnyard fright.
the coot was unharmed. When re-
leased, it swan away quickly and
