MEANS TO PREVENT THE USE OF
GOLD COINS is SOUGHT BY THE
AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS

would be perfectly right for the
government to say: Bring in your
gold certificates and we will pay
you in gold coin, but it is not bull
lion. We ought to make it unlaw-
full TO destroy gold, coins. This
would not destroy the gold stan
dard, nor would it destroy the mar
ket for gold.
William J. Joring, former presi-
dent of the, mining congress and
gold mine operator on the Califor-
MIA Mother lode, also believes
something should be done to pro-
hibit this drain ON the nation S sup
ply of money. He favors that the
law should contain provision max
ing it necessary for all gold USED in
iewelry or for other purposes to be
purchased on the open market.
The use of gold coins in making
trinkets is more common in the east,
it was learned, where gold is not as
common as medium of exchange
as it is in, tire west. Western people
have been more accustomed to gold
and the peel of it in their pockets
to make it into jewelry. Nuggets
are used for that purpose in the
stwild and woolyo and mining men
can. see, no reason TO take issue
with people who care to employ the
raw gold in this fashion.

MINISTER'S AND AMBASSADORS

The absurdity of the old diplomatic distinction be-
tween ministers and ambassadors is in the situa
tion developing at the Chinese capital. China and Rus
sa have entered into full diplomatic relations and the
Soviet government will send ambassador to Peking
The United States happens to have only minister at
Pekng In all social and official functions, therefore,
the Soviet representative will take precedence of the
American representative.
Not that it matters great DEAL except to fussy
diplomats and their wives. Yet there is something
about it that hurts the pride of the plain American,
too He may not regard himself as better than any
body else as better than he is himself
As for the long-continued distinction between
ministers and ambassadors there is longer any good
reason for it, The old idea to send ministers to
small nations and ambassadors to large nations. But
that rule has been broken down lately for various
sons. Even the theory that an ambassador has more
authority to speak for his government than mere
minister no longer holds.
The genuinely American procedure, as has been
said often in late years would be to treat all foreign
governments alike in this respect and if the title of
ambassador il SO desirable and potent establish
embassy at every capital with which Uncle Sam is on
speaking terms.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. S.-Some
means of preventing the use of gold
coins in the manufacture of jewel
ry and trinkets will be sought by
the delegates to the twenty-seventh
annual convention of the American
Mining Congress, to be held here
from September 20 to October 4.
Mining men believe that conver-
sion of coins into articles for ad-
ornment represents a serious loss to
the nation, inasmuch as taxpayers
have borne the burden of minting
the coins. When they are melted
down for other uses, part OF the ma
ton S medium of exchange is gone.
There is no law at present to pro
hibit this practice. So long as a
coin is not placed in circulation
again, any one can deface a coin
and even destroy it,.
The men who produce the nation s
gold believe the problem should be
viewed from the standpoint that
their product has a price fixed by
the government, which never
changes, and no matter how heavily
the market may be supplied, the
law of supply and demand which
governs the sale of other commo
dities is not permitted TO function.
What the congress will seek by
recommendation is an anti-destruc-
tion law for gold coins, and the at
titude of the entire mining indus
try will be sounded cut and steps
taken to enlist the support for such
a bill in congress.
Taxpayers Pay
"The cost of minting gold coin
is borne by the taxpayer, Secre-
tary j. HI. Gallbreath of the mining
congress told recent conference of

when Billie Wagtail, the goat boy,
came along and bleated:-
"Come on and play ball!'
Now if there was one thing
that Jackie liked more than another
it was to play ball with Billie, the
goat.
So, forgetting all about his prom
ise to his mother, and forgetting
about Uncle WiggiIy and the pine
gum, jackie ran off with Billie to
play ball. The animal boys were
soon having fine fun. Billie tossed
the bail up in the air and Jackie
caught it in his mouth. Then Jackie
threw it and Billie caught it on
the end of one of his sharp horns.
Then, all of sudden, Jackie re-
menbered about Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, / must run back!'' barked
the doggie boy to Billie. 81 can't
play ball any nore."
I " Why not ?" bleated Billie.
Jackie didn t stop to answer.
Back to the pine tree lie ran as
fast as his little legs would take
him. just as he came in sight of
the hollow stump bungalow, Jackie
saw Uncle Wiggily come to the
back steps looking for him and call
ing:
" ".Iaekie! jackie! Where are you!
Where is tire gum to make the fly
paperF"
Before Jackie could answer, ell of
a sudden, out Of dhe bushes near
the bungalow back door, leaped the
Fox.
"Ah, ma! Now / am going TO
get you!" howlcd the Fox TO the
bunny.
"No you aren e" barked Jaekie.

Those who motored much could APP
preciate what the city street treat
ment meant in keeping their houses
clean during this dust period. Only

wives, especially, should feel inclin-
ed to rive Mayor Vannatta and his
associates on the City Council a vote
Of appreciation.
