Service for Specialists
In addition to this education pro­
gram for the general public, the m u­
seum maintains unusually large stu­
dy collections for the specialist in any
field.
A library containing 95,000
scientific monographs
and
books
serves the visiting scientists.
Through the philanthropy of an­
other Chicagoan, the N. W . H arris
Public School Extension department
of the museum circulates 1,000 dif­
ferent “traveling exhibits” (taken
from the museum’s wealth) to school
children throughout the city and
state.
A U T O M A T IC A G E
Denmark Will Try Out
Stamp Vendors
Submitted by P a u l H. P e a r s o n
Assistant Trade Commissioner
According to local press reports
the Danish postal service has decided
to set up a number of automatic
stamp vending machines throughout
Denmark. I t is said th a t an order
for 20 trial machines has been placed
with local manufacturers, 10 with
Soren W istoft & Co., Copenhagen,
and 10 w ith Funch-Jensen, Aarhus.
Gets Five Years For
Machine Theft
Pocohontas, Iowa.— Elmer Lang
was sentenced to five years in the
Iowa state penitentiary at Fort M adi­
son for his part in the daylight rob­
bery of a coin machine from a local
pool hall. Fred Susmilch, at whose
home the stolen machine was found,
was taken to the state hospital at
Cherokee.
Lang pleaded guilty to a county at­
torney’s information charging him
with grand larceny. He had already
been sentenced to the state prison on
two other occasions.
,
Delivery is to be made- sometime in
May. The final order will comprise
some 180 machines.
Both types of the trial machines
are painted red. They are so fixed
that the purchaser receives two 5 ore
stamps upon the insertion of a 10
ore coin. Most of the Danish postal
fees are divisable by five so with the
help of 5 ore stamps practically all
m ail can be properly stamped. Like­
wise the postal authorities were of
the opinion that the 10 ore coin is
the most practical.
It is planned to try out the first 20
machines over a six months period.

We take in trade any used Exhibit Diggers

This Ought to Stop
Slugging
I f you drop a slug in a subway
turnstile or a coin machine and hear
a voice yelling “ Stop th ie f!” don’t be
surprised.
Or i f you drop a counterfeit coin
in a candy vending machine and get
h it over the head by a mallet, don’t
look around, for there’ll be nobody
there to fight with.
These two mechanical inventions
were described by Prof. A. C. Selet-
sky, of Case University, Cleveland,
O., who told the annual convention of
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers that his inventions would
eject counterfeits while they sounded
the alarm or rapped the slug owners
on the head.
The mallet machine can even be
regulated to pour a pail of water on
its victim when a counterfeit coin is
inserted in the slot, or will open a
trap door to dump him in a cavern.
