Rainbow money color debate and other odds and ends
A lively column riffs on rad colored currency with Elmer Twitchell praising bright notes, and mentions Nor ton Rockwell backing the idea. It jokes about identifiability of money by touch, polka dot bills, and colorful scales amid a miscellany of foibles, culture and politics. It notes humor about income men in film, liquor, and race tracks, and a future with meat produced in labs. The piece ends with satirical bits on public figures, the ICC lifting Pullman rates, and a playful nod to a Chinese typewriter gag and the navy secretary John L Sullivan.
