The stamping machines in the Ma
tion's mints clattered at the liveliest
pace in history today to meet an un-
precedented demand for small coins.
The Mint Bureau reported its COIN
manufacturing plants have been oper-
ating on a 24-hour basis for the last
six weeks, turning out millions of dol
lars in bright new dimes, nickels and
other coins.
Officials suggested that State sales
taxes, increased business and the
recent flood of dividend checks prob
ably were contributing to the demand.
Dividend checks. they explained.
usually are for odd amounts, neceSSi-
tating change.
For the first five months of this
fiscal year (July to November), the
bureau said, coinage of pennies,
nickels, dimes, quarters and half
dollars totaled $27,939,0 900, compared
with S17,195,00 in the same period
last year and only $6,123,000 in the
similar 1929 months.
The largest increase was in coinage
of nickels. aggregating $4,621 900 for
the first five months of this year, COM
pared with $1,926,000 in the same
period a year ago. and $1,206,000 in

Hide Real Names
Way,Uard Husbands and
Career Women Pro-
mote Policy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Shakespeare's query whats in q
name?" is causing the Social Security
Board plenty of work.
So many applicants for Federal
pension accounts who have changed
their names were reluctant to put
down the original ones that the board
promised only the assumed names
would be disclosed.
The real ones must be submitted
but will be locked in vault, it was
explained yesterday.
Much of the hue and cry came from
actors and actresses, who said their
baptismal names were their own BUSH
ness-not Uncle Sans.
Former convicts complained they
would lose their jobs if their bosses
found out their identity. Business
women using their maiden names pro-
tested they would be discharged If
their employers found they were mar
ried. Divorced husbands who had
skipped alimony said they might be
located. Other persons said their Sc
cret marriages would be disclosed.
So the board decided the reluctant
citizens should fill out the blanks
with the real names, but attach q
memorandum giving their present
names. Only the latter are to be
put on Identification cards.

back to the precinct Immediately after
the wedding
Back in his cell, Kurz, deprived of
new necktie purchased for his we'd
ding, was served a special supper
after it developed attendants had not
prepared his regular meal because they
did not think he was coming back.
Dispensation Obtained.
The wedding, delayed Monday until
dispensation could be given by Arch
bishop Michael j. Curley OF Balti-
more, was staged in the chapel to
allow the couple to escape the stigma
of being married in police station.
The special dispensation was neces-
sary since Kurz is q Catholic and his
bride a Protestant.
Kurz Is under indictment with Paul
Burger. 10, and William Beck, II, for
the robbery Of at street market. The
trio also Is alleged to have confessed

ital inflows to domestic economy is two
fold When the "alien funds" enter
the country they tend to increase prices
and expand credit. Sudden withdrawal
might exert strong downward pressure
on both prices and credit.
The inward movement of foreign
capital Is measured largely by gold
imports. The Treasury now pays for
these in cash, reimbursing itself
through issuance of certificates
against the purchased gold.
Under plans being studied, the
stabilization fund would be authorized
to borrow to pay for the imports.
Thus, when gold flowed in, 1T would
take funds from the money market
equal to the inflow.
Officials said this would offset in
fiationary effects of an inflow on do
mestic credit. Conversely, def1ationary
effects of an outflow could be nullified
If the fund paid back the money it
had borrowed
The borrowing probably could be
handled through issuance of Treasury
bills, informed sources said, in a
manner similar to that now employed
by the British fund.
Foreign capital in this country is
estimated by Government experts at
S7,20O, 100000, of which more than
$4,000 100000 has come in since jan
nary 1925 The influx since last
July ! has been about S500,000, 900.

Wash the affected parts with
warm water and Resinol Soap. It

Today in Arlington National Gene
terry they buried Luke Christopher,
who gave his life that another might
live. While his comrades of the Army.
Navy and Coast Guard, who knew and
loved him through 19 years of service,
stood about the open grave, taps for a
great hero rang over Virginia hills.
If there is Valhalla where heroes
gather and where the gods do honor to
those who have held duty above life,
then today those valiant spirits of the
ages are paying tribute to another who
has died gloriously.
The sagas of the gallant hold no
brighter page than that which tells of
the death of Luke Christopher. avia-
ton pilot, Coast Guard. He, who often
had faced death without flinching, died
alone after a gallant fight Through
storm, Christopher was flying with
stricken sailor to a hospital ashore,
when he was forced down into the
raging Atlantic.
His battle lost, trapped in the cock
pit. Christopher sat calmly at the idle
controls of his flying boat as it settled,
nose down. Around him, slowly, rose
the icy waters of the Atlantic. He
sat and watched it rise to his knees,
to his waist, to his chest. And so he
died.
Three Are Rescued.
The stricken sailor and two members
of Christopher's crew were rescued.
The aspect of death was no stranger
to Lieut.. Luke Christopher. For 19
years he had been flying, much Of the
