£5,000,000 IN GOLD
BRITISH WOMEN’S HOARD. A 5,000,000 secret store of wealth • still lies hidden in England and Ireland. It is the store of pre-war sovereigns and half-sovereigns carefully stowed away in stockings in thousands I of homos. | “Those untapped millions do not belong mainly to tho upper classes,’’ a leading statistician said recently. “A ' large proportion, it is believed, 'is kept in odd corners by farmers’ wives—who, besides having small amounts of money received from the sale of butter and eggs, which their husbands usually i allowed them to keep, were intensely J conservative in their attitude to paper money at the outbreak of the war.”
