BIG COINS NOT WANTED Philadelphia and San Francisco Working 24 Hours a Day on Small Pieces. The original and only genuine money makers of America, the super- intendents of Government Mints, met In convention to-day In the Assay Of- fice in Wall Street, where gold and silver by the million are stacked about Uke bricks and pig iron, They are a worrted lot, these Mint men, because they can't keep up with the demand for their product and they are run- ning behind in coinage every day. But, unlike the coal barons and the steel kings, they cannot boost prices om the public, and a dime must still eel] for 10 cents. | “Never before has there been such * demand for emull coinage,” suid F. HL J. Van Engelken, director of the mint. “We are coining three times ||E4 more than last year but are not abl: to fill orders from banks by half.

There is al- ways an increased demand for sub-| sidiary coins during the Christma holiday season, and that Is why th shortage of supply is more acute just now. “In anticipation of this the mints ‘usually make up an extra lot of coins, but this year we have had no oppor- tunity to get ahead.

Denver and San Francisco mints have enormous quan- tities on hand. “Uncle Sam tsn't making as much Profit as he used to on this subsidiary eoinage. Two years ago silver bullion cost less than 50 cents an ounce.

Sbanahan of San Francisco, Annear of Denver, Joyce of Philadelphia and Bovie of New York. They talked for hours about plans for making more money for the public, but finally came to the conclusion that all they do was to run the night and be the one United States not to | © Body of Victim Ide iN of Robert A body of The Piper a lawyer of ||F4 Gold Crowns My eusy payment ply r 15 W. 42d SL, 10 Kenmare St., 408-41 i kulton st, Ja Open 9 to 7, Closed Sanday, No Extra Charge for It.
