Men Martyred . for Beauty's Sake
PITTSBURGH — (U.P)—Sixty-two men students at the University of Pittsburgh are going about campus with their backs plastered with adhesive patches—“martyrs” to the cause of feminine beauty.
The students, selected specially by Dr. Henry T. Smyth, senior industrial fellow at Mellon Institute, are undergoing tests on their skin, of ingredients used in cosmetics and lubricating oil which might create irritation.
Each “guinea pig” carries 16 patches of the substance to be tested next to the skin of his back. Length of the testing period is three weeks, and the patches are changed seven times during that period. The men are instructed to remove the patches onl\ if the spot becomes uncomfortable or smarts—which, obviously, proves the point of irritation.
The subjects of the experiment may not take a tub bath during the period, but they are permitted to take showers.
But it isn’t entirely a labor of love—the boys will get $5 each for the use of their epidermis.

Denver Mint Fails to Make Money as Coin Usage Rises
DENVER, OCT. 18—(U.P.)—Already operating at a near record rate, the Denver branch of the U. S. mint is installing new coin presses to make money faster to keep up with an unprecedented national demand.
“We’re making lots of money these days, but we’re closing
our book at each month’s end just ----
as ‘broke’ as ever because the coins flow on to a fast-spending public as quickly as we turn them out,” said Mark A. Skinner, mint superintendent.
In September—the biggest September in the Denver mint’s history—the big plant turned out
21,550,000	coins, from pennies through quarters. It operated 24 hours a day and the coin presses are scheduled to keep busy around the clock for many months to come.
PRODUCTION INCREASED
Four new coin presses, soon to be installed, will- increase the mint’s production capacity 66 2-3 per cent. They will be on the job with the present money-making machines by Nov. 15.
Other departments, too are stepping up production. The rolling room has been operating on a 16-hour-a-day basis. It is scheduled for a 24-hour shift. The annealing room, now on an eight-hour schedule daily, will double its hours. The adjusting room also will go on a 16 to 24-hour daily work basisv It now is open nine hours a day.
OUTPUT RISES
The press room has been the mint’s bottleneck and the new machines are expected to solve the problem, draining quickly the backlog of metal blanks.
The September production of small coin—pennies,. nickels, dimes, and quarters—had a value of. $1,251,500. In the fiscal year ended last June 30, the mint’s output was 217,000,000, an all-time record.
“Even so,” said Skinner, “our production rate now is much higher than it was a year ago. and that was a record year.”
He added that the heavy demand for coin was not new, that the mint has been straining for some time to keep up to it.
Silke Tells of Journey

tors or businessmen down who have good intentions, but who don’t know how to do much to help the cause.”
In offering a remedy for this situation Dr. Silke suggested that the Central American people really want to have the United States send down experts—scientists, engineers, political scientists, and educators—to work with them quietly. EXPERTS PREFERRED “They feel they are obligated to entertain our famous screen stars who make goodwill tours,” explained Dr. Silke. “What they really need is a group of experts who will give them the benefit of our more advanced techniques without any ballyhooing.”
There are, in Dr. Silke’s opiniqn, many negative forces which do little to cement pan-American friendship. ; ......
“In. the first place,” he said,, “we are just beginning to • send * down radio programs in Spanish. Before that all our programs were broadcast in English and given no advance publicity.. One city official told me that there were many American programs which they would like to hear, but they never know just when they are going to be broadcast.”
“One night in Tegucigalpa, Honduras,” he explained, “I was awakened early in the morning by someone whistling the ‘Hut Sut Song’ in the street below our window I groped my way out of the lumpy bed and went out onto the little balcony, expecting to see a fellow American and wave to him.

Quake Shocks Bliss of Dorm
It might have been the strongest geological tremor since 1933, but the earthquake which occurred at 10:58 p.m. Tuesday also was quite a shock to SC students who were busy at their various nocturnal activities.
Girls at the Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall who were aroused from their studying, slumbering, and bull sessions, could be seen chattering, screaming, and yelling for hours afterwards. This constituted such a change from the usual diligent, quiet rooms, that several warnings were delivered before the girls settled down to the normal proceedings.
SURPRISES GIRLS
Naturally quite a few students were indignant over the excitement as it occurred just as they were about to discover the answer to the theory of relativity, but others just enjoyed the fuss which would justify the usual flunk.
SC students from eastern states accustomed to stories of death and destruction from earthquakes were shocked the next morning when they couldn’t find any class buildings that had crumbled.
. The theory of the doorway being the safest place to be during the shock was quite embarassing in some instances. Many a glamour girl on the row was deglamourized in the harsh light and excitement with her hair up and her face cold creamed.
MIRROR MOVES
Calmest was the veteran Californian who, although she happened .to be basking in the bath tub, watched the walls move back and forth without even a good healthy scream.
It is most embarassing and little discomforting to see your face in the mirror suddenly moving and bouncing around when you’re sure you didn’t move, one girl reported.
Another could be seen about the campus the morning after the quake telling everybody that maybe California doss have
Yippee! At long last—Cal!
After weeks, literally weeks, of struggling and striving with the problem of this Cal business, we finally raised the dough. And now, yes, and now, we are experts at this game of legal panhandling.
At first, we didn’t think going to Cal was important. But when we discovered that Troy just picked up its belongings and migrated en masse to the wilds of Berkeley, we said to ourselves, we said:
“We can’t live alone and like it.”
So we decided to go too.
But, where were we to get the dinero? • Laughing gaily, we sped home and announced to our fond parents:
“We’re going to Cal.”
COUNTED CASH
Nothing happened. Unless, of course, you can call a blank stare an answer to a statement like the one we had just made.
Money, money, the root of all evil, the goal of capitalists, and the downfall of many an aspiring student. Feverishly we counted the cash on hand. Between jus we had 26 cents. That should take us as far as the outskirts of Los Angeles—why, we were practically there! PENNIES MOUNT
Pennies, pennies, gee, the government could catch us for hoarding copper for national defense.
Slowly, degree by degree, copper by copper, our pennies mounted. Fifty, 51, 53, 54, 54, whee, we’ve 55 cents now.
Finally, we had enough. Exactly ten complete greenbacks. Hurrah.
But, gosh, would there be any tickets left? We rushed madly down to the agency, and said:
“We’re goin’ to CaL How about some tickets bud?
Two days later the little man phoned and announced that he had a ticket or two left. Marvelous!
. So we’re taking the A train!
