:, Coins-"Stakes" Owner to
[ a Dollar.

A lump of metal that once was toy
bank, with it's contents of pennies ana
nickels, reached the Treasury today. 1t
represented the savings of boy from
the sale of papers, and was what re-
manned after fire had destroyed the
home of the boys father. at Glen Auen,
Va.
In letter accompanying the metal
and duly sworn to and witnessed by
his neighborS J. Wesley Melton, rather
OF the boy, told of the fire.
The director of the mint. Ray Baker,
determined that the law gives coins no
value of redemption other than their
weight and not less than pound OF
metal is purchased.
1t was difficult to determine the face
value of the coins. as they were mass
of half-melted metal, distinguishable
only partly as money. An estimate was
made that perhaps the bank had con-
tained something like so cents. and Mr..
Baker contributed a dollar.
Another story OF destruction o.
money by fire is told in a letter from
Milwaukee. accompanied by the diff
cult evidence Of what purports to be
the remnants of purse and its con-
tents of three one-dollar bills. Except
for the metal bar that may have been
the snap of the purse. all is ashes.
