YOUNG-SIGMON London. Nov. 26. The golden sovereign has amost vanished from circulation in most parts of Great Britain since paper currency has been issued, but in the west of Wales gold is as pientitui as it was before the war. says the Daily Chronicle. There the British sovereign caus es no surprise at all when change is given and both the sovereign and uie ran sovereign are passed ire quently from hand to hand until the banks get hold of them. With the exception of Spanish currency, it is probable there is as a standard of gold currency in Wales as in any part of Europe to- uay. vveisn larmers Have earned big profits in the last few years, and hoarded them. It is these hoards cf gold which are now making their appearance. Newton, Dec. 13. Carmie Young, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

One eason why New York preiers writers of detective stories with such a fascinating series, cf unsolved min der mysteries may perhaps be found in the article which Police Commiss ioner Enright contributes to the De tective Story Magazine. It bears thft Jgj lluminating title '"College me.n ucn t make the best detectives. " Some of .these men, he says, "are still poumJ- ng a Dear airer years on me luice. m Some, he admits, have succeeded, but these latter '-have got ahead in spite of their college education and not because of it." It might interest th; commissioner to make a statistical comparison between New York and .London, fii'st with respect to the number of unpunished crimes and second with respect to the quantity of ''book learnig" available at head quarters- For such a comparison the tommissiorer would have to cr.ll in ;$j tutsde talent for the department Ta-. jpj crapped its statistical bureau, btri: j & ihe result would be enlightening, and m it would perhaps show that educated gr prains are not fatal, even en a police force. ' That detective work is as he sr.y:, V'a matter of instinct rather than of ; vducation" is of course true. A. col- j ictre graduate as such is no more i likely to succeed in it than business I or in a profession like medicirc or the, daw. But experience has shown that an euducatd man with a talent for business or a profession is ncf j handicapped by his "book learning." It is notorious th"t some of the best lawyers in the United States ara col- j W lege graduates, .and it mav be believ- . ed that the American police system, 1 1 while1-! .fnst now is under heavy five 45 would function better if, as is cse in Europe more use were found !sj for men of the broad kowledge and j mental resourcefulness which a good ' education ought to a'ive in M GROVE'S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC restores Energy and Vi tality by Purifying and Enrich ing the Blood.
