WASTE MUCH SULPHUR
Mine Operators of Kansas and Mis-.
souri, Should Save 1t

Lawrence, Kan. Dec. 4.@There
need be no anxiety in the United States
for fear of a shortage of sulphur or of
sulphuric acid if the smelters handI-
ing zinc ores from Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma would stop wasting
sulphur, says DR.. Erasmus Haworth.
head of the department of geology at
the University of Kansas. If all the
sulphur going to waste in smelling
zinc ores from BAXTER Springs, Kan,
Joplin, Mo, and Miami, Okla. dis
trict were saved said Doctor Haworth.
there would be two to four times al
much sulphur as the United States
needs.
Sulphuric acid is used in making
high explosives, refining petroleum
and for other purposes. Formerly
much of the sulphuric acid used in
this country was manu- ctured on the
Atlantic coast from imported ores
This source has been shut off and
Doctor Haworth now believes sui
phuric acid plants should be erected
at each of the large zinc smelters. The
zinc fields of Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma can insure America and its
allies all the sulphnric acid and sui
phuF they may need. Doctor Haworth
declared. No new processes are need
ed and the acid could be extracted
from zinc just as has been done at
one Illinois smelter the last thirty
wears
