(By Associated Press) LONDON.—SJn|e tho percent age of pure metal in Great Bq'Ufn't silver coinage was reduced from 9 2to 50 in 1920, tho coins have earned tho sobriquet of "hypocrite** money because of their rapid dis coloration. The greenish-yellow hue of the silver pieces caused much criticism as each new batch was turned out. This annoyed tho mint authorities who rather prided themselves on their work, and w.yie solemnly announcing that the discoloration could easily os washed out, they set themselves the task of effecting an Improve ment. They have succeeded in pro ducing for the 1923 issue silver coins which make a better showing than the "hypocg'tee,” they are' bright and shiny, du* to a new method of "pickling" which gives each pie- • a coating of more silv er. Ehcr'-tH say this coating will wear off i*n about a year revealing the same discoloration as the coirs now in use. Experiments with var ious alloys are now under way in the hope that coins may be ob tained- which will meet tha re nt*'red weight and yet satisfy tha critics.

Board of agri culture officials havo been haying a busy time dealing with out- brcaH of the disease in all district* but It seems to be beating them. ► widespread ha* It become that an order has been issued pro hibiting the movement of cattle in an area covering nearly the whole of England and South Scotian:.
