Show Army's Slot Machines Work Only With Slugs WASHINGTON. The army now is going in for slot machines that work only with slugs. At the Pentagon building they have coffee shops all over the place for the 30,000 or so people in the war department's big building. These coffee shops have cigarette vending machines. The machines became increasingly popular when cigarettes got short. A special slug about the size of a nickel was devised. de-vised. It has two long slots in it. The cigarette machines were then "fixed" so that they wuTwork only with a bona fide dime and one of these slugs. The slugs are legitimate, however. They are sold over the coffee counters coun-ters and at these counters only for five cents. You may buy only one at a time. At eight o'clock in the morning, they go on sale. It assures the buyer of at least one pack a day. At seven at night, they go on sale again for those who work the late tricks. |
