Fights for Life;
Spurned Boy Dies
Kittaning, Pa. U.R) A 15-year-old
girl fought for her life
today in the same hospital

condition of Gladys Smail was

a Christmas present.
Never Caused Trouble

stunned parents and high school
principal as a boy who never

trouble. He was home early
every night. John was a good
boy."

Comment On
By HARMAN
United Pm
Washington U.R I had
heard the government was hard
up for coppers, so I went down
tor of the
mint.
IfT vSrt? 1 vour troubles"
f S -ALJy W 1 I said- "Here
are a couple
of Lincoln
pennies from
Nichols.'
William H.
Brett, the mint
Karman Nichols director whose
office is here at the Treasury
Building, said he didn't think
my idea was very, funny. I told
him it wasn't meant to be, I just
wanted to do all I could.
And what about this talk of a
shortage of pennies? What
started it all? What is the end
result?
It is true, said Brett, that pen
nies are disappearing from cir
culation as fast as the mints at
Denver and Philadelphia can
turn them out, which is at the
rate of 8,000,000 coppers a day.
A bank advertised in the Rut
land, Vt., Herald it would put
up $1.05 for each 100 pennies.
Change For Cigarettes
"Look at the figures," he said.
"From Jan. 1 through Nov. 30
of 1954 we turned our 374,000,
000 pennies. Over the same per
iod this year we produced 799,
000,000 coppers. And in Septem
ber, October and November of
this year we kicked out 365,603,
929 pennies."
The current shortage isn't too
acute, Brett said. But it's a head
ache. A couple of hurricanes
are to blame, partly.
"Take Pennsylvania for in
stance," he said. "When thous
ands were made homeless by the
backwhip of that one, the Legis
lature passed emergency legisla
tion upping the tax on cig
arettes. In . that state now you
put a quarter and a nickel in a
machine to get a pack, and in
the wrapper you get three pen
nies change."
Other states have similar
taxes and together they require
a lot of pennies to make change.
But where do all of the pen
nies go after they are dished out
in change?
Stored In Piggy Banks
The mint man said he didn't
rightly know, but he was will
ing to hazard a guess.

A lot of them, he said, wind
up in kids' piggy banks. They
rest there for a long time.
"Sometimes we have the same
trouble with nickels and dimes,"
he said. "There is nothing
wrong with saving, but coins
can be turned into paper money
and that way silver and copper
can be put back into circula
tion." And what can you buy with a
penny anymore? That was my
question.
"Well," the head of the mint
answered, "you still can get
weighed with one. You also in
some cities can park your car
for a few minutes by putting
a cent in a meter."

Teen-Age Killer
Escapee Captured
Pueblo, Colo. (U.R) - A 15-year-old
confessed killer escaped
from a mental hospital last night
after threatening the life of a
student nurse but was recap
