The putting into circulation of
the new five -cent piece with its

ment to save 60 tons of nickel
a year, an appreciable saving.
Now if, for their part, the citi-
zens will save the five cents,
everybody will be better off.

How Rumors Grow
The trouble with rumors is
that instead of going in one ear
and out the other, they go in
both ears and out the mouth, and
shortness of the journey does not
prevent thein growing en route.

Where Women Work
British women may not be bet-
ter soldiers than men; but they
are beyond question tidier in some
regards. Their greatest triumph
was seen in their taking over of
searchlight stations. A. good many
of these are set in lonely and
muddy fields; but since the women
were installed these patchwork
deserts have begun to blossom

and tidy; and besides the potager

Jive Sing In Old
Castle .In Scotland
. Whish it's Coast Guards
Entertaining The puke
Thus 'United States Coast
Guardsmen, who barged up to a
British castle and knocked on the
door, not' only were invited in but
aim sang jive songs for a Duke
and got to blow a horn their host
told there started the Battle of
Waterloo.
The story of their visit to the
Scottish castle of the Duke of Ar-
gyle., at Inverary . was told by Do.
nriuicic Vilardi, New York City,
on his return from the North Af-
rican campaign.
He said the four slipped past
members of the Scottish Biaek
Watch Regiment on guard at the
castle and were invited in by the
Duke himself!. Coast Guard Chap-
lain Paul Townsend had rushed
after the four to halt them hut
went along when they were in-
•vlted in.
Coast Guardsman Vilardi said
that, after a lunch of fish and
chips, the Duke sang then some
arias from Italian opera and ask.
ed them to sing.
"Did we sing?" he continued.
"We gave him a jam session like
be never had heard and he was
tickled pink. When we left lie
seemed sorry to sea us go."
The Hurricanes
Saved Britain
Letter
graph.
Sir:—During the Battle of Bri-
tain there were five Hurricanes
for every Spitfire, and the Hurri-
canes shot down more enemy air-
craft than did all the other fight-
ers our own and the enemy's put
together.
This is due not only to Mr.
Camm, the designer, but to Mr. T.
O. M. Sopwith who, while the Air
Ministry were wondering whether
to order a couple of dozen Hur-
ricanes or a oouple of hundred,
signed an order to the works to
produce 1,000 'Hurricanes.
I believe the Hurricane saved
Britain in her darkest hour and
not the. Spitfire.
