British Silver Currency.

Owing to the rise in the price Of sill.
yer, the British government finds it
impossible to mint silver coins except
at a great loss, SO it plans to reduce
the fineness. Silver, which before the
war cost less than 80 pence an ounce,
now costs about SO pence Irrespective
ly 5000 and $1.76). The British money
has been OOPS fine; it is purposed to
make it 0.5OO fine in the future. With
silver at present prices, the intrinsic
value of a shilling O5OO fine will be
greater than that of a shilling O925
fine before the war.

Hundreds of
Millions Saved

the contracts were well under way q
| serious power shortage developed.
| Only 40 per cent of the necessary pow
er was available and the munitions
companies were forced to arrange
their shops so that they could use the
power in rotation.
This cut down the possible output
practically 60 per cent and the gov
eminent Immediately undertook to pr'n-
vide the additi .lal power needed. Con-
tracts were made with three cOmpa-
MES to supply 1,9OOOOO,OOO kilOwatt
hours of electric power. which at the
ordinary New York rate would be
worth about $165,OOO,OOO. This meant
an increase of 100000 horse power.
and the government agreed to assist in
financing the construction Of the new
power plants.
When the armistice came these
plants were not completed, and there
was a clause in the contracts where
by the government agreed to use pow
err for a certain length of time. In adj
ditiOn, the contracts bound the gov
eminent to pay its proportion of the
cost of the plants on a basis of their
value three years after the signing of
peace. In settling these power con-
tracts all these factors had to be con-
sidered. The technical committee
solved the problems in manner
which was considered fair to all con-
cerned.
Rabbit Meat Problem.
In contrast to the power contracts
was the settlement of the rabbit-meat
claims. These arose from an excess
of patriotism and were not covered by
Contracts. When food conservation
was being advertised as generally nee
essary, a public-spirited citizen OF
Hutchinson, Kan, received infOrma-
ton that the war department would
be glad to obtain a supply of rabbit
meat for the men in training camps.
History does not state just where the
Hutchinson man obtained this infOr-
nation, but he made all speed for this
city and here obtained the financial
backing he needed.
Shortly afterward there began a
wholesale slaughter of rabbits in the
vicinity of Hutchinson, Kan. Three

from the dOmesticated Belgian hares
to the f1eet-footed jackrabbits of the
western prairies.
AS soon as a carload Of cold-stor-
age rabbit meat was ready it was
shipped to nearby training camp
To the diSmay of the rabbit man, the
quartermaster erefused to accept it,
holding that cit was not an article of
ISSUE" as government regulations have
it. 1t then developed that the war de-
partment could not use the rabbit meat
and the carload was shipped to this
city. The markets here refused to
absorb it, and in despair it was
shipped to England, the impression
being that the British were quite hun
CRY enough by that time to relish Kan
sas rabbit. However, fate interviewed,
the ship was set on fire by shells from
a German U-boat and the rabbit meat
was entirely destroyed.
