MELTING UP MONEY TO
MAKE FINE JEWELRY

London.-The practice Of melting
British gold sovereigns to mix with
other metals n make jewelry to sell
to suddenly enriched munition workers
and their wives is said to have become
so alarming that an effort may be
parliament to pass a law to prohibit 1t.
There are not man sovereigns in cir
culation in England. they having been
recalled shortly after the outbreak 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 Eng
land at the present time Is estimated
at about 1855. 000, 900. There are other
gold reserves of course. in the hands OF
aims Of the government is to prevent
sovereigns going out of the country to
keep up the reserve gold supply n to
prevent the gold from reaching the
enemy.
For the past six months. or ever
since h munition workers began to
work night and day and draw greatly
increased wages they have been hav
ing gold coins melted for jewelry. The
practice is said to have become
cially noticeable in Birmingham where
many Of h large jewelry manufac-
turers are located. There is no law
against the practice of melting govern
ment money
Hume Williams, a member of parlia-
ment from Nottingham. who thinks the
government ought to make 1t a punish
able crime to melt sovereignS Town to
max jewelry, said:
"As the law now stands, a man can
take a five-pound note to he Ban OF
England and demand sovereigns for it.
| He can then take the gold coins to his
factory, melt them down, mix the gold
with certain other metals, and make
the jewelry. The mere s~quandering of
the munition workers money in this
way, in a time of national stress when
the surplus is needed for silver bullets
and for a support for the worker n
his family in possible days Of need to
come, is a bad thing.
There is another serious side to it.
The state spends money in converting
bar gold into sovereigns,. and anybody
can go along and get the sovereigns
and melt them again. Also, If a man
wants to take golden sovereigns to
Germany he cannot do so, as there Is
an embargo against taking sovereigns
cut of this country. There is no regu-
lation, however, against his taking gold
in other forms.
therefore, If a man wants to supply
Germany with British gold ne a take
notes to the Bank OF England. get
sovereigns for them. melt them down,
and lake the gold, say, to Holland and
then get it into Germany. AS our
gold reserve, in comparison with that
Of Germany is SO small. it becomes q
serious matter to allow this golden
DRAIN"

reached a maximum and should not be
further increased, and that India and
Egypt were already applying an 40
valorem tariff system.
Lord Cromer, who applied the ad
valorem tariff to Egypt, was n of the
indorse the proposal for h same sys-
tenn in England. LAS an old and con-
WINGED free trader" he wrote, Il should
like to say that I agree generally with
| your view expressed in Why not a gen.
eral tariff?' have for long thought
that the government should have intro
duced such a tariff at an early period
of the war. The imposition Of indirect
taxes for revenu purposes Is In no way
opposed to free trade principles"
Standing BY Guns.
The free trade element is standing
by it's guns, Mr.. Hirst Of the Economist
being one Of the chief advocates Of the
traditional system. Mr.. Hirst Is the
biographe- of Adam Smith, the great
pioneer Of free trade. and he resents the
! apostasy of Manchester and warns Pre-
mier Asquith hat a number of his col
leagues are officers of the Free Trade
| union. He adds: Protective taxes
would be: First, useless during the
war; second, disastrous after the war;
and third, deeply d~ishonorable to the
liberal ministry which proposed them"
He expresses the hope that England
will not follow the fashion OF the Amer
lean politician in James Russell Low
ellis "Bigelow Papers,"
Il go free trade through thick and thin,
Because it kind o. rouses
The folks to vOte-an' keeps us in
Our quiet custom houses"
Aside from the debate of the more
sedate journals, all the others are en-
tering into the tariff discussion. One
recalls the old saying: What Nam
chester does today, England does to-
morrow" The Globe discusses MAN
action of Manchester a it says, "a
staggering blow to the cause of free
trade" The walls Of the free trade cit
adel have crumbled. it adds land even
Manchester has turned to a protective
! tariff system.
The attitude of the is
awaited with great interest in view of
the agitation over the Manchester reso-
buttons. The chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Mr.. McKenna, will have the
final say as to whether an ad valorem
tariff will be put in operation, and the
| initial tariff duties he proposed and
carried last fall lead to the belief that
he will adopt more of h same kind.
His lieutenant, Mr.. Montagu, financial
secretary Of h treasury, has given
! some intimation of what was likely to
| come.
"The topic Of enormous Importance
is the adjustment Of our fiscal SYSTEM"
said Mr.. Montagu. Free traders and
tariff reformers all agree that the old
economic relations between different
parts of the globe will be altered by the
war. I may say it is not part Of liber-
alism not to recognize altered condi-
tons and circumstances, and to revise
and perhaps strengthen ourselves in
respect to any new conditions which
may arise"
This is taken as a pretty clear indi-
cation of the governments position for
tariff revision to meet new conditions
and, with the Manchester agitation,
both the public and the government
seem we'll on their way toward a new
era In tariff adjustment.

ASK SMALLER PAPERS
Urge Owners to Cut Down Size, {
Save Little Publications.

Urge Owners to Cut Down Size, to
Save Little Publications.
Washington, Oct Introduction in
the size of the Sunday newspapers, to
conserve the news print paper supply
of the country and possibly prevent
the suspension of smaller newspapers,
was recommended In a letter sent by
the federal trade commission to all
publishers of large Sunday newspa.
pers in the United States. The letter
says:
1.-THE preseA. situation can only be
alleviated by increasing the output or
reducing consumption. The commits.
sion has conferred with a number OF
prominent publishers regarding ways
to reduce consumption, in addition to
the cutting off of returns, eliminating
wastes, ETC., which many newspapers
are reported to have already done.
These publishers are of the opinion
that there is still an opportunity to
effect a considerable reduction in con.
sumption by cutting down the size OF
Sunday newspapers. They feel that
the elimination of certain features
and would not decrease the revenues
of the publishers.
"The paper saved by cutting down
the size of one large Sunday edit on
several pages would keep a number OF
smaller papers supplied for consid.
cradle time. Such unselfish action ap.
pears to be the only means that will
save many smaller publishers from
going out of business.
1.-The commission asks your cooper
alton in this matter, and would Ike
to know your attitude toward this
proposition"

HIS WIFE KICKED
VASE OFF MAkTEL
Tells Court She Said She Was
a Born Actress.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 17.-"My wife
snapped her fingers in my face; kick,
ed a vase off the mantel, and told me
that she didn't care for my support;
that she was a born actress and could
make a fortune on the burlesque
stage"
This is one of the many bits OF
colorful testimony offered by Maurice
S. Kirsch, All North. Bond street, IN
the Northeastern police court, W. re
he was arraigned on a charge of de-
sertion and non-support preferred by
his wife, Mrs. Freda Seigel Kirsch.
On Saturday Mrs. Kirsch swore out
a warrant for her spouse after, she
said, he had played a base trick on
her. According to her testimony, her
husband, whom she had not seen in
several weeks, telephoned her that he
had a wonderful surprise" for her
and that she should meet him at How
ard and Fayette streets. At the ap'
pointed time Mrs. Kirsch was at the
trysting place, but Maurice failed t.
put in an appearance.
After a wait of several hours she
left for her home. Much to her sur
prise she discovered Maurice had re
moved all the furniture while she hal
kept the appointment.
Justice Cliff ordered that XII sch
pay his wife $3.50 a week and return
to her some of the furniture.
