MANY GOLD COINS ABRADED
Are Often Found by Banks to Be Be.
low Weight Fixed by the United
States Treasury Department.

Gold coin in circulation loses
weight more rapidly than most people
f"alize, and it is said that n great
amount of the gold in circulation on
this coast Is abrnded below the limit
or tolerance ut which the United
States treasury will receive it, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. A good
deal Of this lightweight money is ac-
cepted by the banks, us Is discovered
whenever national bank makes q
gold payment to the Federal Reserve
bank. Probably the banks have now
become educated. but when the first
payments were made to the reserve
banks 1t was found that considerable
gold which passed current among
banks would not be received by the
reserve banks ut face value.
1t Is safe to assume that all gold
coin received by banks is sorted, the
perfect coins being held in the vaults
and the worn pieces paid out over the
counter so that the ultimate loss which
is inevitable is borne by the last indi.
vidual holder.
Congress is now asked by the treas.
ury department for authority to re.
ceive for limited period all gold coin
at Its face value. Tint which Is
abraded will then be recoined and the
integrity Of the circulation restored

EASY TO TELL REAL DIAMOND
There Are Many Ways In Which the
Finest limitations May Be Detect
ed, Even by the inexperienced.

The experienced eye does not find It
difficult to decide whether a diamond
Is genuine, for the facets Of real ones
are seldom so regular as those of fine
limitations. With the Inter the great
est care Is taken In grinding to polish
and smooth the whole stone so thnt
there will be irregulnrity In the rehcc-
ton or refrnctiOn of the light. A neces-
sary tool for testing Is the file, which
cannot scratch real diamond. al
though 1t quickly leaves Its mark on
an Imitation. Better than the file Is the
sapphire. for the sapphire is the next
hardest stone to the diamond. Any
stone that sapphire can scratch is
assured1y not a diamond.
If you put small drop Of water on
the upper facet Of brilliant and touch
1t with the point Of pencil the drop
Will keep Its rounded form. but the
stone will remain clean and dry. In
case of an imitation the drop immedi-
ately spreads out. Plunge diamond
Into water and it will be plainly visible
and will glitter through the liquid, but
an Imitation stone Is almost invisible.
If you look through diamond, us
through n bit Of glass. ut black dot
on sheet Of white paper you will see
one single point clearly. If you see sew.
ernl points or blur Of black it is an
Imitation. The white sapphire, the
white topaz and rock crystal are fire..
lucntly sold as diamonds, but imita.
tons are more commonly made OF
glass.

1t seems strange that all through
life we have wanted to be soldier.
Haven't you? The first game you
ever took an interest in was playing
soldier. The best stories you ever
heard were those anecdotes that your
daddy, or granddad or uncle, told of
other wars. In day dreams you have
pictured yourself On the battlefield,
charging or in the air, or directing
the terrible fire of big gun. So
