COINS MELTED FoR IEwELRY.

London, April THE practice of
melting British gold s~overeigns to
mix with other metals and make jew
elry to sell to suddenly enriched mu-
milton workers and their wives is
said to have become SO alarming that
an effort may be made during the
present session Of Parliament to pass
a law to prohibit it.
There are not many sovereigns in
circulation in Britain, they having
been recalled shortly after the out
break Of the war, but they can be
obtained easily in exchange for paper
notes at the Bank Of England.
The gold reserve in the Bank Of
England at the present time is esti-
mated at about two hundred and
fifty million. There are other gold
reserves in the hands Of other joint
stock banks. One of the aims of the
government is to prevent sovereigns
going out Of the country, to keeT
up the reserve gold supply and TO pre-,
vent the gold from reaching the
enemy.
