A Lady Godiva halfpenny, worth a hundred times its original value, was discovered recently among coins tossed by tourists into the Spanish wishing well in Rockefeller Centers Sky Gardens here. The Lady Godiva coin, struck in Coventry, England, in 1792, bears up on one face the figure of Lady Godiva on horseback. It was identified by Howland Wood, president of the American Numismatic society, from piles of pennies, nickels, dimes and coins from China, Canada, Holland, Italy, Germany, Russia, France, Great Britain and the Philippines. Oldest coin from the wishing well is a soldo, one-cepiece cast by Austria in 1777 for the northern provinces of Italy, which it controlled. The soldo is not valuable today. one-ce- The Mark of Merit on OLD QUAKER nt Is Your Assurance of Quality RYI BOURBON QUART QUART No. 63 No. PINT nt No. 64 No. 167 PINT PINT No. 166 PINT 63 No. 168 Hunting Coyotes in Auto Is New Sport in Alaska Seward, Alaska. Ingenious Alaskans, who perform such unusual feats as transporting livestock and mining machinery by airplane, hailed coyote hunting by automobile as the latest in winter sports. Lake Kenal, a large body of water thirty-si- x miles long and frozen over with a coat of thick, smooth fee, is the scene of the hunting parties. To date the number of bounties claimed on coyotes bagged by this new method has been negligible, but promoters of the sport declare it is lots of fun anyway. -- t 90 PROOF STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY AUo available in Rye Copr. 1938, The Old Quaker Co., Lawrenceburg, Indiana BRAND Looks at Record Between Dips Established Schools in Alaska Schools were established in AlasbeState of Pennsylvania ka by Russian settlersof in 1784, United the Constitution fore the Philadelphia.
