It's True That You Have To Have Money To Make Money
Washington (U.P.)—The fellow who coined the phrase about being to have money to make money had something.
Ask the big Cogs who turn out the dough at the U.S. mint. They have admitted with something more than mild embarrassment that Uncle Sam is almost down to his last cent—so far as coins are concerned.
Mr. Truman broke the news to Congress the other day when he asked that it put up $330,000 more this year and $1,200,000 for the fiscal year starting July 1.
The mint, he explained, needs the money to turn out new coins. They will be a useful old one.
The mint is a wonderful old government agency that turned back over $1,000,000 from its 1950 fiscal appropriation. But Leland Howard, assistant director who is an efficient fellow when it comes to turning out enough coins to go around, has been up to his official ears in trouble lately.
Seven Students Will Give Papers
"We managed to meet an unexpected demand for 1,050,000 extra coins during the first half of this
Seven graduate anatomy students from the University will present papers on research projects at the annual meeting of the American Association of Anatomists in Detroit, from March 21 through March 23.

Thomas Eatty, Kansas City, Kan;
Jerry Brown, Wichita; Mina MacNair Brown, Lawrence; Donald Ford, West Hartford, Conn.; Jerome Grunt, Lawrence; and Roy R. Peterson, Lawrence, will represent the University of Kansas at the convention.
This is the largest group of paperpresenting graduate anatomy students from any school in the country, and the largest in the history of the K.U. department, Dr. Paul G. Roose, professor of anatomy, said today.
Full-time staff members have given up opportunities to present papers to give the students the chance.
Faculty members of the anatomy department who will attend the convention are Dr. Homer B. Latimer, professor of anatomy; Dr. S. W. Lesher, assistant professor of anatomy; Dr. Paul G. Roofe, chairman of the department; Dr. Henry C. Tracy, professor emeritus of anatomy; and Dr. William C. Young, professor of anatomy.
AF Uses New Tarzon Bomb
Tokyo (U,P)—The air force disclosed Tuesday it has achieved excellent results with six-ton guided missiles launched from B-29s in Korea.
The 17-foot "Tazon" bomb, controlled by a radio transmitter in the launching aircraft, has been especially effective in the destruction of big bridges, Far East air force officials said.
They said 12000-pound "Tarzon" bombs destroyed four major bridges at Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, and three other key spans close to the Manchurian border. Heavy steel girders were flung up to 150 feet by the explosions.
Bombardiers reported the bomb's response to directions during its descent was "excellent."
Ounicals said the "Tarzon" bomb has been used "in limited numbers" in Korea since last August.
"Several have been used against principal and vital North Korean targets, most of which have been bridges of massive type construction." an air force spokesman said.
"Principles used in control of the bomb are a radio transmitter in the launching aircraft, a receiver on the missile which enables its control, a flare for tracking the bomb on its course and a bombsight for use of the bombardier in directing the descent."
United Press aviation writer Charles Cordryd reported from Washington Saturday that two types of radio-controlled bombs now are in use in Korea, the Taronz and the 1-90-pound Tarzon.
Salem, Mass. (U.P.)-When the Boy Scouts took over Salem's city government, Mayor Francis X. Collins discovered that his successor for that day was Paul Harrington, 13. Last November Collins defeated Paul's father, Joseph B. Harrington, for re-election as mayor.
Scout Avenges Father
Corbin Discussion Led By Minister
You can't be a Christian within yourself, the Rev. H. M. Sippel, pastor of the First Christian church, told Corbin hall women in an informal discussion Tuesday.
"Christianity has to be demonstrated or touch others to be real Christianity," he said.
While answering questions, the Rev. Mr. Sippel said that those people that are in right relationships with God are happy.
"It is not possible to achieve perfect love for God," he said. "There is a possibility, as long as we live, to love God a little more than we slid in the past."
School Law Results In Better Teachers
Better trained teachers for Kansas elementary schools have resulted from the 1949 school finance law, Adel F. Throckmorton, state superintendent of public instruction, reports in the Kansas Government Journal.
This school year only 36 teachers in the state's elementary schools have less than a year's college training or its equivalent. Last year there were 385 teachers in the elementary schools who had less than one year of college training, Mr. Throckmorton reports.
The new school law has encouraged the employment of teachers with the maximum education and experience, Mr. Throckmorton said. This was accomplished by increasing the amount of the state aid guarantee for each teacher at the rate of $200 for each 30 hours of college education.
The report also stated that state aid to schools is distributed on a formula based on teacher qualifications, enrollment, assessed valuation of the district, and the previous year's budget. Last year, the first under the new law, over 12 million dollars was distributed to state schools.

Humboldt, Tenn. (U.P.)—Chum, a cocker spaniel, is nominated by radio men at WIRJ as the nation's most patriotic dog. Chum spends his day at the transmitting station and hears music all day without opening an eye. When "The Star Spangled Banner" goes out over the air, he hops to his feet and howls in time with the music.

fiscal year," he said, "but it did us in so far as handy pennies and nickels are concerned. Go back and have a look."

All you can get with a penny is a pad of matches, but when you mate it with a nickel, a dime or a quarter you're getting someplace.
The panel groups will convene from 10 to 11:30 a.m., Friday, in various buildings on the campus. Members of the KU. club will present two or more papers on each subject of the discussion groups.
Discussion groups will continue at 1:15 p.m. Friday, after a luncheon in the Union building.

RISK'S
The man in the mint has several explanations for what caused the big run on coins.
But the war in Korea brought on a flush of buying and with it a rise in many items. Merchants didn't think they dared jump an item 100 per cent from say five cents to 10 cents. So they added a cent or so. And a lot of other pennies av
And a lot of other pennies are paying sales tax.
Then for a long time the innovation of vending machines and parking meters has brought a drain on the mint. In the matter of parking most cities tag you a nickel for a certain length of time, but in many smaller places the quick-shopper gets a break by getting a half hour for a copper.
"In fact," Howard said, "The country's monetary habits have changed definitely since the 1930s. Big chain stores operate on a cash

The mint assistant explained that after 1945 for a time, the demand for coins was on a decline. In that fiscal period, a peak of 2,600,000,000 coins went out of the mints. The year after that deliveries went down to 2,100,000,000. In 1947 they were 1,500,000,000 and in 1948 they were down to a billion.
During that four-year period, the mint reduced its work force by 75 per cent.
"A lot of these people," Howard said, "went into other lines of work. It takes time to train new ones and we have no truck with counterfeiters."
