pared with any other co untry on the fa ce
of th e globe, th e United States leads in
almost anything.
"For instance, in th e matter of automo-
bil es, France shows one ca r to 25 perso ns,
England shows one to 25, Germany one to
55, Italy one to 109, and th e United States
one to every 5 persons.
"We, in this co untry, own 60% of the
telephones in th e world. We own 44% of
the radios. We have twi ce as many hom es,
per thousand of population, as co mpared to
the .most cultured cou ntri es in th e world.
" With only 6% of the world's area and
only 7% of its population, we consume, in
normal tim es, 48% of th e world's coffee,
53% of its tin , 56% of its rubber, 21% of
its sugar, 72% of its silk, 36% of its coal,
42% of its pig iron, 47% of its copper and
70% of its petroleum."
With th ese optimistic facts before tbem,
no one in th e coi n ma chin e field, need ever
worry about the future and what chan ges
it may bring, for th ey will mean greatel
and greater pros perity.

City attorney Ray Chesebro had recom-
mended that all pe nny arcades "a nd noto-

CHICAGO-A boy named B1acki e was
ca ught steal in g quarters, from coin-operated
washing machines in local apartment base-
men ts, amounting to more than $900. The
boy was brought before the kindly judge of
th e Boys' Court. The cri me was a felony.
"Why d id you steal and what did you do
with the money, B1acki e?" asked the judge.
"I'm so poor. I've always been poor. I
just wanted to have a little fun and buy
ham?u~?ers for us kids a nd take in the
mOVIes.
" Black ie, I'm going to give you a chan ce
to work out so me plan to pay back that
mon ey. You can think it over in jail for
awhile_"
In a few days Blac kie was before th e
judge and handed him a crude drawi ng.
"This is a sketch of a burglar-proof coin
box," he said. "No one can open it_" And
no one could. It proved to be perfect, the
co mpany withdrew its co mpl a int and
Blackie was freed on probation.
