THREE CENT POSTAGE After November 22 it will cost more to send a letter to any point in the United States than it will to send one to Great Britain. After that date all out-of-town letters will be asked to change their color scheme. A lavender 3-cent stamp will have to be placed in the corner now occupied by the 2-cent red steel engraving of George Washington. However, the red portrait need not be discarded. It can still be used in conjunction with a green one. While the 3-cent rate applies to between cities in the United States, the international postal agree ment fixing the rate to Great Britain at two cents still holds. The penny postal card also goes into the dis card to help finance the war. After November 2 only commercial cards bearing no written message and mail ed in quantities of fifteen or more can be mailed for one cent. Some men are known by the friends they fail to make. Even in the days of the inquisition they never locked the victim in a room and compelled him to listen to hours of piano practice. The best place for a man to have a boil is in the tea kettle.
