London, March 31.—The practice of | melting British gold sovereigns to mix with other metals and make jewelry to sell to suddenly enriched munition | workers and their wives is sald to have become so alarming that an ef- | fort may be made during the present session of iment to pass a law to prohibit it. There are not many sovereigns in circulation in England they having been recalled shortly after the outbreak of the war, but they can be obtained easily in ex- change for paper notes at the Bank of England. The gold reserve in the Bank of England at the present time is es- {imated at about $255,000,000. There | are other gold reserves of course, in the hands of other joint stock banks. One of the aims of the government is to prevent sovereigns going out of the | country to keep up the reserve gold supply and to prevent the gold from aching the enemy. | For the past six months, or even | since the munition workers began to | increased wages they have been hav- gold coins melted for jewelry. The cially noticeable in Birmingham where y of the large jewelry manufac- rs are located. There is no law against the practice of melting gov- ernment mone: Hume Williams, a member of Parlia- ment from Nottingham, who thinks the governgrent ought to make it a punishable crime to melt sovereigns down to make jewelry, said: “As the law now stands, a man can take a five-pound note to the Bank of England and demand sover- eigns for it. He can then take the gold coins to his factory, melt them down, mix the gold with certain other metals, and make the jewelry. The mere squandering of the munition | workers money in this way, in a time | of national stress when the surplus is needed for silver bullets and for a support for t worker and his family in possible days of need to come, is a bad thing. “There is another serious side to it. The State spends money in con- | | verting bar gold into sovereigns and inybody can go along and get the sov- 5 melt them again. Also, eigns to Germany he cannot . as here is an embargo against taking overeigns out of this country. There s no regulation, however, against his | taking gold in other forms. “Therefore if a man wants to sup- ply Germany with British gold he can take notes to the Bank of England, get | sovereigns for them, melt them down, | and take the gold, say, into Germa e in comparison with that ¥ is so small, it becomes a jous matter to allow this golden drain.” * RUB LINIMENT IN When the old enemy, pain, ties you up; when you suffer with colds in head | and chest, sore throat, sore and | strained muscles, sprains, bruises, ] “e“l‘;‘“%‘:' I‘;‘““&?“?f‘; 1““‘8’3?"'
