Even Air Cannot Escape From Government Mint Electric Devices Protect Si Francisco Fortress. San Francisco, Calif.—Within the aext few months the federal govern ment expects to occupy its new $1,000,000 mint here, guaranteed by its designers and constructors to be the most burglarproof and foolproof construction of its kind ever erected. It will replace the famous old mint that has been one of the cu riosities of San Francisco for half a century. It will take the center of minting interests out of the down town section of the city to the top of a rocky summit, where natural surroundings have contributed with the latest architectural genius in making the mint safe. The new mint will be virtually automatically defensive against a burglar or a raiding party. It is so equipped that defenders urtQ be able to call out not only the Son Franc taro tre and police deport ments but tbs army taUoood at the Presidio Beetdee being burglarproof N Is declared te be etrtuoBy tone e fty. tear-gas machinery for flooding the entire establishment. Tunneling into such a building is believed to have been circumvented not only by the architectural pre cautions taken in its foundations but by the fact that it is located on top of a hillock of solid rock that could hardly be "tunneled" short of con stant dynamiting. The vast burglar alarm system is declared to be the most extensive protective measure of its kind ever installed in a mint. There will be only two entrances to the building—one in the front and one in the rear—and each will be protected by a barred guard room. The bronze doors will be op erated electrically. According to mint officials, if any untoward incident should occur the mint deportment wtll set in the fol- knrtng manner: Alarms will be dashed sutomst- kelly throughout the building.

They can put our satin into dressing gowns, our silks into shirts, but we defy them to find any masculine use for taffeta. They are always grousing about the number of mas culine things we’ve taken from them and appropriated for our own, but on this subject of fabrics we can do our own grousing. But we can hug taffeta to ourselves and challenge them to do anything about that! Since it is ours, alone it might not be s bad idea to know something about it. Taffeta is s smooth fabric with a firm weavs and quits a bit of body. The lustre of the material Is often increased by dipping the goods in an acid bath and then pressing H. Often it is considerably "loaded." When taffeta is too heavily loaded it cracks; thus is buying this ma larial yon should ash had the walls done over.

When these three colors are blended to gether into white, we have ths ef fect of cleanliness, beauty and pur ity. Perhaps the most reasonable ex planation of the effect of color upon our emotions is that color produces vibrations at a greater intensity than those produced by heat and light. Sound is also s vibration and can be changed into colors, as when music is made to appear in the form of beautifully blended hues on a screen. When these vibrations strike the emotional or psychic centers, certain stimulations occur. This will explain the pleasing effect of a new ly decorated room, the aesthetic ap preciation of a sumpt, the blending of colors in a rose garden, and the sense of reverence in worship in a Gothic cathedral. The psychological effect of color has been capitalized by the adver tising industry. Red attracts, violet repels, black is always avoided. The therapeutic effect of visible rays of light below reds or beyond violet is recognized today in the use of infra red and ultra violet rays as curative means. The X-rays are beyond all estimable value.
