"NO PENNIES, NO PAPERS," SAYS NEWSBOY TO ELEPHANTS

Eliot House news-gobblers have been dragging their poor dining-room paper-vendor for a block of brick smokehouses during the last few weeks.

The cause of all this is not so funny as its effect, however, for when he had a plate for pennies they failed to multiply as the papers disappeared. In fact they often disappeared themselves at a rate which would fill a carpet sweeper with envy.

So he put a tin can with a slit in the top there instead. But students don't go around loaded with pennies, and they began to establish credit accounts by depositing dimes and drawing thereon day by day. And the graph of his profits and losses looked like a drunk trying to write "swimming".

Now the old plate is back and there is a sign behind saying, "There is NO charge account. Please leave the CORRECT change for EACH paper."
