.BAVARIANS LOSE
THEIR HAIR, BUT
KEEP u. S. JOBS
AP Newsfeatures


MUNICH - It's breaking their
hearts, but the Bavarians, who like
long hair, are going in for crew
cuts.
The first clipping of the old GUS
tom has been made by the second
constabularly brigade.
Brig. Gen. H. R. Gay, a spit-and-
polisher of the old school, told his
officers that any man who wears
long hair has something wrong
with him.
Orders went out and Army bar
bers cropped and cropped until
everybody around the place looked
like a freshman. The 10 German
men employed around constabulary
headquarters smiled with amuse-
ment and slyly combed their long
locks every time they thought a
shorn trooper was looking their
way.
A tall, tough lieutenant called
the Germans together.
March to the barber" he barked
They gasped. They complained
One guy said his girl would ditch
him if he lost those long, curly
locks. A rebel said he'd appeal.
The group retired to talk it over
The German labor Office interviewed
and said.
This is militarism. We've had
enough of militarism from our own
armies"
"No hair cut, no job," was the
edict.
No job, no good American meal al
midday, the Germans pondered.
One hundred and sixtey-two OF
them came back and said please tC
cut their hair.
Eight held out, gave up their jobs
| for their coiffure.

"How did you do it?" inquired a

had just retired with 100000 in
savings.
The editor replied that it was be-
cause he had run his paper ecOnom-
ically, worked early and late, kept
away from the San Francisco Press

CLUE TO SPENDING

Philadelphia - Among fac
tories no longer making big
money are your Uncle Sans
three mints.
It's their business to make
the coin-the coin that every
body makes. But their output
of nickels, pennies and silver
change in the first half of this
year slumped to about one
third of the 1916 rate, and
now it's down to "drop in the
bucket" level. Businessmen
should perhaps take heed this
is a signal about Americas
spending.
Officials of the United
States mint here, which strikes
twice as many coins as the
Denver and San Francisco
plants together, guess they
must have saturated" their
market. And this has happen
ed without the disappearance
of the prices, or sales taxes. or
slot machines.

was the first in the country,
set up in 1922 has got way
ahead, too, on making coins
for foreign lands, big part
of it's business in recent years.
In 1916 it ground out more
than IL billion foreign pieces;
this wasn't far short of it's IA
billion output Of American
coins. But no longer.
So today, instead of making
money lavishly, the mint is
making medals. Stamping vic
tory, area campaign and other
awards will keep the medal
division busy for another year
or more. In fact, the mint is
thinking of switching it's medal
facilities to a seven-day week
while it's coin division Tolls
along on five days.
The presses hung up their
highest daily record last Oc-
tober "a, when they threw out
more than II million coins.
During peak performances, the
Philadelphia coin factory was
working three shifts seven
days a week. Today one shift
works five days. And even
with all the medal manufac-
turing, employment has been
slashed from 2,75O to a skill
ed force of $50 men and wo-
men.
Guarded by IS special fed
eral policemen, these workers
do more than make coins and
medals. They produce the dies
which stamp them for all three
minis. They print identifica-
tons on bags used to carry
coins.
Their monetary product is
scientifically kept the same as

CHICAGO dispei for al time
the untrue and malicious rumors
that have been circulated about the
permanence of Satinflo ink used in
all Reynolds Pens, Milton Reynolds
chairman of the board of the Rey-
holds Pen Company, in Miami today
backed his confidence in his product
with $1,000, 000.0 {.
The occasion for this was the
writing of a check for 100000 in
the safe deposit vaults of the Mer-
camille Bank in the presence of
Mayor Herbert A. Frink, Maurice
Liberman, president of the Mercan-
tile Bank, and Ruth Byrd, Sun and
Fun Queen of Miami Beach.
AS further evidence of his conf
dence, the check was written under
water and placed in the vaults of the
Mercantile Bank.
Mr.. Reynolds announced that he
would pay 100000 to any designat-
ed charity if, at the end of one year,
the check for 100000 was not clear
ly legible.
MIR. Liberman stated that al no
time had his bank refused to permit
the use of Reynolds Satinflo ink on
any of the bank records or other
permanently retained material.
Mr.. Reynolds said that a report
from a acknowledgements research
laboratory in Chicago showed that,
with the exception of Parker Isl"
all standard inks now used in the
Uuited States faded as much o.
more than the Reynolds Satinflo
and that all exceeded U. S. govern
ment requirements. Many of these
inks are considered and sold as
permanent" inks.
Reynolds Satinflo tests were made
on good quality office second sheet
paper such as used for carbon copies.
The paper itself completely faded
and decomposed on the surface but
Reynolds Satinflo ink remained
clearly legible. The actual exposure
was 1000 times the exposure necess-
sry to develop a sever case OF sun
ourn on the human skin.
