less injustice on the whole than would

MUCH U. S. COIN Is
REMELTED AT mint
ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF NICK.
ELS AND PENNIES ARE
RETURNED.

Coins that jingle in Americas
pockets wear down very gradually,
but the aggregate of those defaced
is so large that the Scent and 1-cent
pieces returned to the Philadelphia
Mint for remelting in the last five
years would fill five and one-half
car loads at $4,000 pounds load.
This estimate was obtained from
H. D. Coleman, superintendent of the
melting and refining department at
the mint in Philadelphia. Mr.. Cole
man has been melting coins for the
government for nearly quarter CEN
fury.
''For the five years from 1917 to
1921" he said, "the coinage of
nickels and 7-cent pieces amounted
to more than 214,000,000 troy ounces
or so much metal that it would re-
quire five trains of Sc cars each, hold
ing $4,000 pounds car, to transport
the load"
Plenty of Billion.
Turning to the subject of gold, he
remarked that the vaults of the gov
eminent are at present filled to over
flowing with bullion of the highest
grade.
"The stock of gold bars in storage
today amounts to nearly one-half Of
the eight billions that represent the
worlds supply of the yellow metal, "
he continued. "The stock in our
valuts is largely fine gold and gold
with a good copper alloy.
"There is not much silver on hand
in Uncle Sans valuts ready for coin
age, however. Since the Pittman act
was repealed the government has
been buying little white metal, and
there still is left from this account
over 100000 ounces of fine metal
to be made into standard silver dol
lars, to go down into storage and
replace those melted up and sold dur
ing the war to the Allies"

NEW YORK GUNNER ACQUIRE
SKILL UNDER NOSE OF LAW

Deadly Aim for Which They're Noted
Is Result of Practice in Galleries.
New York gunner usually shoot to
KILL and everyone who has faced
them has great respect for their ann.
In 2 random battle with the police
the gunner always give an excellent
account of themselves. Where 40
thew receive their training in mark
manship? asks the New York Times.
The law against carrying deadly
weapons are strict. The gunner live,
as a rule, in crowded parts of the
CITY where a single revolver shot
would quickly draw a crowd. They
would seem to have little opportunity
to practice, yet anyone familiar with
firearms knows that an immense
amount of shooting is required to
give the deadliness of aim which the
average gangster counts his CHEZ
stock in trade.
The answer to the question IS
simple. The gunman learns to use
revolver in the shooting galleries.
Here he may practice as long and as
often as he chooses without attract
ing attention. There are scores OF
such resorts on the East Side and at
the city beaches. The rows OF pipes,
the moving birds and the balls dane
inc atop lets of water offer every OPP
pCrtunity for developing the skill
that the gunman will use to bring
down bigger game.

The scheme involved the use of

clasp releases one end and enables
it to be stuffed with stolen articles
and then refastened in a moment.
