WHY ----...--s...----
Women Should Drop the
Platinum Fad

A MERICAN women have been ask
~ ed by the American Chemical
society TO stop purchasing plati
mum jewelry because the country's out
put of high explosives is seriously men
aced by the shortage of this metal
ION behalf of the chemical manu-.
facturers Of the country, who are striy-
ing to provide our government with Its
many necessities, and In behalf OF
those conducting scientific research for
the public good" said the society's
statement "the American Chemical so
ciety appeals to the loyal women OF the
United States to refrain from purchas-
ing platinum In the form OF Jewelry
and to help discourage the use Of this
metal for ornamental or other unnec-
essary purposes, so that the limited
supply may be made available for use
where 1t can do the greatest good In
the service OF our beloved country.
Few realize that the dietators OF
fashion have caused the price of plau
mum to advance within the last few
years until today 1t IL worth FIVE times
as much as gold. As a result OF this
mood of Dame Fashion the chemical
industries Of the country are finding
It exceedingly difficult to secure the
supplies they need while our govern.
ment as well as oil chemical labora
tories is greatly handicapped by its
scarcity. Platinum Is essential for pro.
ducing sulphuric acid, which in its
turn Is an absolute necessity In the
production OF high explosives.
THE matter has become SO serious
| that scientific and Industrial advance
ment IN suffering severely because OF
the lack Of platinum and the almost
prohibitive price to which its scarcity
has given rise, II seems shame
especially Mt this time, that persona
vanity should prove such a handicap Il
the government and that a mere friyo
lous fad should deprive chemists and
manufacturers Of the proper tools foI
the prosecution Of the demands placed
upon them"
