Although jewclry manufacturers

ing WITH the government TO conserve

no valid reason why patriotic organ
izations should urge their members to

precious metal is used. Local jewelers.

danger of q platinum famine. and that
munition makers have all that they
need in their present work and have

Platinum Is used in concentration of
acids in making explosives. but less
than i per cent Is lost in commercial
uses. About 1.40O,O 900 ounces have been
imported in this country in the last
fifteen years, while in the American
munition factories only $4,000 ounces
are being used.
