Those Two-Dollar Bills Tue United States Bureau of Effi- ciency (and there’s a laugh right off) has asked the public to take more kindly to two-dollar bills. It seems this would have a wonderful effect on circulation and relieve the ghastly problem of making change and a few other throbbing issues like that. The public's chief objections to two- smacker bills are (a) an old super- stition that they are unlucky, and (b) a more rational fecling that they are too easily confused with the one-berry frogskins. The latter objection can be readily overcome by printing two-dollar bills in a pleasing off-shade of bright ger- anium pink. As for the hard-luck theory, the curse could be lifted by a neat border of swastikas, horseshoes, lucky pigs and bluebirds for happ’- ness.
