Reclaim Old Penny They Cached 50 Years Ago GORHAM, MAlNE.—Fifty years ago two boys earned 15 cents digging dandelion greens for a neighbor. They split their boodle, seven cents apiece, and then, not knowing what to do with the odd penny, they buried it. The boys grew up and left Gorham. This summer they returned, Stephen E. Patrick, now of the state board of education at Augusta, and Robert L. Hinkley, now of Utica, N. Y. Remembering their youthful problem and the buried penny, they returned to the yard of the old Kinkley house, since destroyed by fire, and found the penny in the original cache. But the old problem of how to share it popped up again. So they matched for it. George Washington Only George Washington was the only President who received the unanimous electoral vote.

U. S. Flying Fort Wins Big Order War Department Gives Tq*rl •f $337)44%057 far Our Mightiest Bomber. WASHINGTON.—-A mighty new long-range, high altitude bomber, believed by authorities hero to be one of the world’s most .powerful aerial, weapons, was ordered. into mass production by the war department with awards of contracts totaling 1347,186,074. Representing thia 'country’s latest contribution to the British drive to win aerial repvriovtty over th* Axis powers, especially in far flytag bombardment cruft, the now: plane was described officially as « bigger, improved model of the Boeing flying fortress. Carrying heavier Are power than the B-17D flying fortresses now in use in the American air forces and the British Royal Air force, the B-17E incorporates armament improvements resulting from lessons learned in the European war. These include gun turrets on the top and bottom, all designed to give the plane resistance against attack from any direction. Speed was expected to be about the same as that of the B-17 D—around 300 miles an hour. Contracts Given Quickly. The first B-17E rolled out of the Boeing Airplane company’s factory at Seattle recently and two and a half hours later was on its initial test flight. Later the war department issued an announcement that tests were being made and that the plane would be turned out in mass production by three manufacturers—Boeing, Douglas Aircraft company at Santa Monica, Calif., and the Vega Airplane company, a Lockheed subsidiary, at Burbank, Calif. This was followed a short time later by announcements of the award of two contracts to Boeing for $337,447,057 and one to Douglas for $9,709,616. Presumably the Vega orders will be disclosed later. Neither the type nor number of planes covered by these contracts was divulged nor the delivery dates given—but officials made no secret of the significance of the sequence of events as evidence that the B-17Es were being ordered in quantity. 1,000 Estimated on Order. On the basis of estimates that each of the new planes would cost in excess of $300,000, it was generally accepted that manufacture of about 1,000 had been provided for by these contracts. Many of these planes undoubtedly will go to Britain under the leaselend program and others, it is expected, will be moving a few months from now to .such strategic American outposts as those in the Far East, the Caribbean and the North Atlantic. Planes of the B-17D class already have seen extensive service in British raids over northern Europe. On one daylight flight in the high altitudes, the war department said “they were virtually beyond the range of sight or sound by hostile ground crews” and the first warning of the attack came “when bombs screamed down out of an apparently clear sky.”

v——Jn j 1., \i - lj i By L. 1. MBVnWON Staflls AH kinds of strange things happen on the sidewalks of New York. For instance, the other afternoon, Harry Gilbert *n peacefully proceeding to a Timos square jeweler’s shop to have a new crystal put in his watch. At Forty-second street and Broadway he was stopped by a traffic light. Ashe stood waiting, paying no attention to those-about him, no was almost lifted off his feet by a piercing scream right in his ear. Whirling about in alarm, ho discovered no damsel in distress, but a man, apparently about 40 years old, with his shirt collar open and his coat over his arm. Looking Harry in the eye, the man announced, 'T’ve atways wanted to do that.” Then before any questions could be asked as to what satisfaction he obtained from such an action, the man ducked into a cigar store and was seen no more. • • « Logical: Ilka Chase drives in from her summer home at Lloyds Neck, Long Island, several times a week for rehearsals and broadcasts. Every time she does, she passes through an artists’ colony the members of which are continually painting the landscape with the result that hardly an inch of ground has escaped being translated into water colors, oils, etc. Recently, as Miss Chase and a companion entered the colony, they saw a startling sight—amidst the luxuriant foliage, gaunt branches. “A dead tree in an artists’ colony!” exclaimed the companion. “How could that happen?” "Probably painted to death,” responded Miss Chase. • • • Safety First: Carl Masson, catering manager of the restaurants at LaGuardia Field, recently returned from a trip to Canada. Arriving by train early one morning at a small junction point, where he was to make connections at 5 a. m., he wandered into a little lunchroom where the waiter-chef-bus boy-pro-prietor were one and the same, and ordered one hard boiled egg. After the usual wait, the proprietor came in with a plate on which were two eggs. “But I ordered only one,” protested Masson. “Yes,” answered the restaurateur, “but I thought I’d better bring two in case one was bad.” • ♦ • Pilot Yarn: “At Randolph Field in Texas, an American officer was assigned to a group of fledgling pilots,” writes Jimmy Van Heusen. “As the instructor had been studying aerial tactics in England for years, he had somehow adapted himself to the use of a monocle—a symbol which marks many British officers. It was the first monocle the youngsters had encountered outside of fiction, but they caught on very quickly. “The next morning the entire personnel appeared on parade ground with some sort of a makeshift monocle adorning every face. The officer eyed them complacently. Then, standing squarely in front of them, he flipped his monocle in the air, caught it in his eye and roared, ‘Do that you nitwits!’ And that cowed the soldiers.” • • • Matrimonial: Mrs. Sarah M. Pragnell, founder of the “Get-To-gether Club,” an organization devoted to finding mates for lonely souls, is seeking a man six feet, nine inches tall who is willing to marry a young woman who stands six feet, six in her stocking feet. Mrs. Pragnell has received a heartbreaking letter from the tall young lady begging her to do something about a situation that can’t be remedied. No one will take her out, the 29-year-old giantess avers, because her altitude embarrasses all the young men she has met so far. The result, she mourns, is that she hasn’t had a date in the last nine years. So the appeal for aid. * • • End Piece: It’s Sonny Tufts’ story about the policeman who while making his rounds on the fashionable East Side in the early hours of the morning, discovered an elderly, tophatted man crawling along the street on his hands and knees. “What are you doing that for?” inquired the cop. "Surely it isn’t necessary for you to go home in such a manner.” “Well,” said the fellow slowly lifting his head, "it isn’t ’xactly necessary but it’sh a very wise precaution.” (B«U Syndicate—WNW SsnriM.) / > ' Tax Purposes Only Eight states have ratified amendments to provide that all automobile tax fund shall be used exclusively for tax purposes.
