RESULTS

After long consideration, the officials of this firm are happy to announce below the Prize-Winners in the BATA 'Shoe Competition.

Unfortunately, none of the letters were really outstanding. nor did many of the competitors display rnuch knowledge of the BATA organisation. Nevertheless, if 'quality' was lacking it was more than made up for in the 'quantity' of letters sent in, indicating a very keen interest in BATA shoes.

Prize Winners are requested to call at the Main Store, China Building before the end of the month,

CLEVER FORGER

CAUGHT BEFORE HE STARTED

SPLITTING TEN 'SHILLING 'NOTES

What proaccuting counsel' des- leribed as a very thorough plant for making ten-shilling notes was men- tioned at the Old Bailey, London, recently.

Leonard Henry Gaul (24), a sen- man, pleaded guilty to engraving words and letters on a copper plate resembling those of a ten-shilling Bank of England note, without lawful authority, and possessing sixteen pieces of paper on which were words peculiar to those lined in Bank of England notes.

Mr. Christmas Humphreys, pro- secuting, said that at Gaul's home at Deptford the police found a ten- shilling note which had been split ao that the back and front were separate. There was a hood of Britannia, obviously about to be used for a watermark, a large num ber of copper plates with in- pressions on them, & copper plate with the process of being engraved, and pieces of paper bearing rough impressions of a ten-shilling note. There were also rolls, frames, and photographic apparatus, making the early stages of a very complete plant for forging notes.

A large photograph of the var- lous tools and materiala, taken for the instruction of police officers, was shown to the Common Ser- jeant. Mr. Cecil Whiteley, K.C.

The Common Serjeant recalled that he prosecuted in the first case of Treasury note forgeries during the war. He referred to the split ten-shilling note and remarked, "It is amazing how it is done."

Gaul was reported to be a masi of good character.
