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

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.

C OME to think of it, there is only
about one fabric that men can’t
take away from us—taffeta! 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

Joy, relaxation and peace. When
these three colors are blended to

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.
