Patriotic Pins Take Over U.S. Coat Lapels
New York, Oct. 2—(UP)—Everything from vegetables to live lizards has been used at one time or another for lapel gadgets, but the present patriotic urge for All-American pins, lapel ornaments, and buttons makes the other fads fade into the past.
It is estimated that roughly 4,000-000 10 cent to $1 red, white and blue flag lapel ornaments have been sold since the fad became noticeable shortly after the beginning of the European war. Following the lead of 10-cent stores, these flags were duplicated in diamonds, sapphires and rubies, some of them selling as high as $25. And coupled with this came a burst of patriotic fabrics, of gold braided eagle ornaments, of red, white and blue frocks. Previews of fall fashions included both plain and fancy patriotism—belts with "Uncle Sam" repeated over and over in gilt letters.
Since the start of the Presidential campaign, however, flag ornaments have been superseded by party pins, and Democrats and Republicans both point to a steady demand for buttons, tie clips, and trick gadgets that range from glass donkeys with red, white and blue eyes to a collegiate number saying "If I were twenty-one, I'd vote for Willie."
Although buttons bearing such inscriptions as the word "No!" were said to be the favorite feminine choice at the Willkie headquarters, stores have reported an increasing demand for louder ornaments, such as huge picture pins of favorite candidates or umbrellas decorated with party emblems. Large gift compacts painted with "We want Willkie" or "Roosevelt for President," also are popular.

Stench Bomb Fogs Air But Clears Music Room
Bombs being the rage these days, a practical joker yesterday pulled a stinker—or rather, a stench-bomb—on the occupants of the Music room in the Memorial Union building. At least, Union officials claim it was a stench-bomb.
A pale-faced lad raced down-stairs yesterday afternoon and with hand to nose exclaimed, "There's gas up there," pointing frantically toward the Music room.
Miss Marie Brown, on duty at the hostess desk, ran toward the stairs. She was met by the other occupants of the Music room accompanied by ladies from a bridge club meeting in nearby English room. "I feel just as though someone had been sitting on my chest," tittered one of the ladies while fluttering a handkerchief.
Amid much confusion and pallid complexions a workman was summoned and the mystery was half-solved. The source of the fumes was sulphur gas. A prankster had tossed a sulphur-bomb into the room.
A Mohammedan is allowed four wives.
Individual genius was largely responsible for the burst of ingenuity brought about by the jewelry and gadget boom, according to party spokesmen. Aside from simple campaign buttons the political parties have little to do with distribution or origination of political adornment. Some buttons have even been denounced for political purposes. For instance, the Republicans disclaimed any knowledge or use whatsoever of the "We don't want Eleanor, either" button, while the Democrats shrugged their shoulders at the "Willkie for President of Commonwealth and Southern" pin.

The I.S.A. launched a vigorous campaign to get new members at a meeting at 7 o'clock last night in the Union building.
Five units of the women campaigners attempted to see every independent woman on the campus in one night to try to get the desired total of 1,000 members.
The five men's teams have chosen tomorrow as the night for their attack, and the entire campaign is expected to be cleaned up by Oct. 7, at which time the I.S.A. directory goes to press. Prizes of $1.75 for first place and $1 for second place will be awarded to the campaigners of each sex who sell the most memberships.
The first of the five major dances sponsored by the organization and free to its members is scheduled for Oct. 18. Numerous other district dances as well as an intramural program are advantages offered by this group to the independent student.
