Electric Devices Protect San
Francisco Fortress.
San Francisco, Calif. Within the
next few months the federal govern
iment 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 will be
able to call out not only the San
Francisco fire and police depart
ments but the army stationed at
the Presidio.
Besides being burglarproof it is
declared to be virtually inaccessi
ble even for a fly.
Windows Bulletproof.
Among a few of the safety gadg
ets that are being installed are bul
letproof windows, thick as a man's
thumb but with openings just large
enough to let machine guns pro
trude. Then there is the automatic
tear-gas machinery for flooding the
entire establishment.
'" Tunneling into such a building is
believed to have been circumvented
sot 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 department will act in the fol
lowing manner:
Alarms will be flashed automat
ically throughout the building.
A short-wave radio station will
call the San Francisco police de
partment and mobilize the United
States troops stationed at the Pre
sidio. Tear gas automatically will spout
from a dozen sources.
If the attack is at night flood
lights will illuminate not only the
. interior but the. exterior, as well.
Sound Detectors Installed.
All nine of the. huge- vaults will
be equipped with sound detectors
so delicate that they can distinguish
the difference between the ring of a
genuine coin and a counterfeit.
Precautions even have been taken
to keep the air from stealing any
of Uncle Sam's gold from the new
sanctuary.
On the top floor is being installed
a, giant lung or ventilating system
which will suck all of the air of
the entire mint into,, one room. Ex
perience in the old mint has demon
strated that air has the bad habit
of lapping up particles of gold dust
and carrying them away particles
that in the long run amount to large
. sums.
1 So, in the new mint, even the
air won't be allowed to escape with
gold. It will, be gently' conducted by
the mint's lung into a single room,
where the dust will be allowed to
' settle. Then; the , dust, will be put
through a sifting operation and the
gold recovered.
.Explorer, Plans Landing
Fields at North Pole
' St. Louis, ' Mo David . Irwin,
twenty-seven-year-old arctic explor
' er and native of,. St.: Louis, .has
among his tentative plans for an ex
; pedition to the north pole a landing
field for planes on the "top of the
-.world."
Irwin said he got his idea from
' the Russian army's method of para
T chuting soldiers from . planes. If
' soldiers can be dropped , out of
planes, he said, it should be just as
easy to drop men, sleds, dogs and
..supplies at the pole and establish
plane base there.' y !v,;;
' Planes would not be able to land
; at the pole immediately because of
' the shifting ice, but a field could be
' ," cleared and maintained by the crew
' dropped there to allow a plane to
f land and pick up the members of
; the expedition when their explora
;;j tions would be completed, The dogs
i', and sleds would provide transports
i, tion back to other bases if the plane
' ,- were unable to land, Irwin said, : ;

The original negative of this picture Is about the size of a postage stamp.
It was snapped from the second row of a theater on ultra-fast film with the
lens at 1.2, the exposure 125 second at a moment of slight pause in the
action.
THE frequent appearance in maga
zines and newspapers of strik
ing "off-guard" snapshots of promi
nent persons, such as society folk
dining in a restaurant, or "series
shots" of the changing expressions
of an after-dinner speaker, prompts
from many readers the question,
"How were these pictures taken?"
The answer in the case of many of
these pictures is the high-speed,
large -lens miniature camera and
the new ultra-fast film, which in
combination often make possible
snapshots at night without extra il
lumination of the subject.
The use of miniature cameras, not
alone for "off-guard" photography
but for daytime portrait studies and
"scenics" of which they are also
highly capable, has grown with
startling speed. Films are available
that are especially suited to this
kind of work. These pocket-size but
powerful, precision-built cameras
seem to have for many the fascina
tion of the nlgh-powered automobile
and are bought despite their higher
cost, because "you can go places
with them."
Just what is a high-speed minia
ture camera T Essentially it is a very
sail rolMlkn camera with a very
large aperture lens such as one rated
at f.l. The exposure required with
an f.2 lens Is only l9th of that
needed for the f.6.3 lens which is
considered a "fast" lens on the ordi
nary amateur camera.

Miniature Camera
larger and consequently much faster
lens on a miniature camera than
would be practicable on the average
size camera. The small size, the ultra-fast
lens combined with new extra-fast
film, make It possible to snap
pictures under conditions which are
difficult for larger cameras with
slower lenses.
You can carry a "minnie" around
in your pocket and whip it out for
any occasion. With good judgment
for correct exposure you can make
snapshots on the stage of a theater,
in a night club, at a prize fight or
at night on a brightly illuminated
street.
Miniature camera negatives must,
of course, be enlarged to obtain
prints satisfactory to look at. Some
miniature cajneras use 35-mm. mo
tion picture size film and give up to
36 pictures to the roll; others use
somewhat larger sizes, 8 or 16 pic
tures to a roll. Owing to the rela
tively low cost of the small-sized
film, the expense per picture for
average - size enlargements is not
much greater than a contact print
from th3 larger film used in a cam
era of ordinary sizo.
The technique of taking pictures
with a miniature is not much differ
ent from that with the ordinary fo
cusing camera, but there is a valu
able point to remember. Because of
its light weight and small size, it is
more difficult to hold a miniature
camera steady. Since sharp nega
tives are essential In this work,
steadiness is of prime importance.
