Stamping Out Totalitarianism
With Victory Bonds and Stamps
After you lay down your money for your war stamp or
bond you feel the tingle of a patriotic fervor as you sense that
your investment will help some soldier to wash the blot of
totalitarianism from the face of the earth. But have you ever
examined your stamp or bond carefully? This is the picture
story of the careful planning and painstaking effort that went
into them. Did you notice that Minute Man, for instance, on
your war savings stamp? Topnotch artists first created him;
special government-trained engravers cut the design free
hand on steel plates. The paper was subjected to the most
rigid tests for tensile strength and ability to withstand fold
ing. Ink was tested for color and liability to fading. After
printing, your stamp was counted and inspected by exactly
29 people before it left the bureau of engraving and printing.
Here are some
of the steps in the
making of a bond
or stamp.
Right: With the
sketch as a model,
the engraver cut the
die by hand. He used
no transfer or trac
ing methods. En
gravers worked for
tico to six months
on the steel plate.
Designer here is
working on the $5
stamp.
Above: A laboratory tech
nician examines the paper
fibers through a microscope.
Paper has a rag base, and
that for the bond is as dis
tinctive as that used for cur
rency. It has the ability to
withstand folding and creas
ing. Every waste scrap is
accounted for. Right: That
smile is worth a million.
This girl, who has just
checked the bonds in the
delivery room, holds four
packages each containing
$250,000 in war bonds.
Experienced
workers count the
printed sheets
(left) and examine
them for imperfec
tions. Defective
\ bonds are set aside
and destroyed.
Sheets are counted
29 times from the
time they were first
placed on the press
to the date of de
livery. Below: Flat

His Lot
“How many times shall I bow?”
said the novice entertainer at the
battalion variety show.
“Bow?” said the stage manager.
"No bowing for you, you'll have
to duck.”
Time for It
“George looks worried today, ff hat's
wrong with him?”
“Oh, he’s been contesting his wife’s
will.”
“His wife’s will? I didn’t know she
was dead.”
”She isn’t.” _
Next, Please
The oldest barber gag in history
was found on the walls of an an
cient Egyptian tomb. It concerned
a barber and a customer. The
barber asked the customer: “How
do you want your hair cut?” And
the reply was: “In silence.”
Handicapped
A company of recruits, having been
issued with new boots, went for a route
march to “run them in.” At the end of
the march, one man teas missing.
If hen eventually rounded up and
asked where he had been he replied:
“My bools were tied together, ser
geant, so l couldn’t get along as fast
as the other chaps.”
He Got It
He—My train goes in fifteen min
utes. Can you not give me one
ray of hope before I leave you
forever?
She—Er—that clock is half an
hour fhst.
Man, they say, is made of dust.
But some women think it is gold
dust.
Thoughtful of Him
“My dear, a great doctor says
women require more sleep than
men.’’
“Indeed?”
“Yes, dear, so — er —perhaps
you’d better not wait up for me
tonight.”
MAKEUP
“Daughter and her beau must
have had a terrible quarrel.”
“Why so?"
“Five pounds of candy, a bunch
of roses and two theater tickets
have just arrived.”
Double Up
The chorus girl was telling the
other girls in the dressing-room all
about her birthday party.
“You should have seen the
cake,” she told her companions
“It was marvelous. There were
seventeen candles on it—one for
each year.”
There was a disbelieving silence
for a moment or two, then her
best friend smiled.
“Seventeen candles, eh?” she
purred. “What did you do—burn
them at both ends?”

Sequoia Trees
Of the Sequoia trees there are
two species, the redwood and the
Big-Tree (Giant Sequoia). The red
wood will reproduce itself from the
stump, and has been known to
grow to a height of 80 feet and a
diameter of 16 inches in 30 years.
The wood contains no pitch and
much water, and in a green con
dition will not burn. Thus while
surrounding forests may be de
stroyed by forest fires, the red
woods remain unscathed.
The Giant Sequoia grow to great
er height and diameter than the
redwood. One tree is 325 feet tall,
and measures 35.7 feet four feet
above the ground.
Many of the trees are estimated
to be 2,500 years old, trees which
were already growing while the
Egyptians were building the
Pyramids.
Stimulated by Difficulty
Difficulty is only a word indicat
ing the degree of strength requisite
for accomplishing particular ob
jects; a mere notice of the neces
sity for exertion, a bugbear to chil
dren and fools, only a stimulus to
men.—Warren.

Suffice to Say, It Was
Some Sort of Catastrophe ,
“Fire! Fire!”
As the shrill cry rang out, n
woman dashed out of a house wav*
ing her hands. One passer-by ran
to the fire-alarm, and another en*.
tered the house.
“Where is it?” he asked, after a
brief investigation. “I can’t smell
any smoke.”
“Oh, I didn’t mean fire. I meant
murder!”
“Murder?” A policeman who
had heard the commotion cam®
running and entered the discussion*
“Who’s been murdered?”
“Oh, I didn’t really mean mur
der, either!” gasped the woman.
“But the biggest rat I ever saw
just ran across the kitchen floor.’*
