Division Superintendent Rivers
Lauds Pensacola for Results
Accomplished Here.
DISCUSSES NEEDS
OF SERVICE MEN'
Distinguished Visitors Commend
Broad Spirit of Local War
Activities Workers. /,

Prominent leaders in the nationaf1
work OF the war camp community SER
vice are Lewis *. Brown, Of WASH;
ington, d. c., district representatives
Of the southern district, and Thomas
E. Rivers, of New York, division sec
retary of the southern division, who's
are attending the conference OF eNecu-,
tive secretaries now convening ini
Pensacola.
When seen at the rooms Of the war
camp community service yesterday
afternoon, Mr.. Rivers spoke with much
enthusiasm of the work which has
already been accomplished in Pen-
sacola.
81 do not feel like a stranger in
Pensacola, nor am 1 unfamiliar with
the good work which has been ac-
complished here" said Mr.. Rivers.
When l met your executive chairman
in New York, where he visited head
quarters, 1 was impressed with what
he told me of the work IN Pensacola,
but 1 was not prepared to find a club
house of an organization such as the
local branch of the War Camp Com
munity Service and the Army and
Navy Club. And this. notwithstanding
that Mr.. Yonge had told me OF the
splendid results accomplished here.
when I visited the Army and
Navy Club today and saw it's machin-
cry in perfect running order. the
thing that most impressed me was
! the way in which every need of the
service men had been taken Into con-
sideration There are larger cluhs
throughout the country, but I do not
believe one could find a club house
anywhere which so meets the needs
of a community more thoroughly than
does this.
Pensacola needs greater facilities
for the service men, but this city
could hardly have a better organiza-
ton than that which has accomplished
such splendid results in SO short
time"
When asked as to the possib4fity
that Pensacola needs. may be met
through an increased appropriation
for war work here, Mr.. Rivers said
that this would be decided at the con-
ference.
The great thing that I have noticed
about the work here said Mr.. Rivers.
"is the broad spirit shown by those
who are interested. They seem to-
look at the work not from the local
ew-point. but from that cs .

PLATINUM JEWELRY
WILL NOT EXIST IN
VERY SHORT TIME

Denver, Colo, Oct. 21.-Platinum
jeweluy, like the extra lump Of sugar
in your coffee and the extra ounce Of
white -four in your rolls, promises to
be non-existent within a very short
time. War demands for platinum,
iridium and palladium have become so
keen the war industries board decided
a little "Hooverizing" in their use
might meet the situation and the re-
sultant congressional act controlling
their use became effective October 1.
The bill prohibits possession of
stores OF any Of these metals except by
Arms OF persons holding license. The
bill places the holding Of quantities of
the metal on a part with wartime
ownership Of explosives, and makes
the bureau of mines responsibel for
enforcement of the statute.
Manufacturing jewelers.. dentists,
directors Of laboratories and mechanic
cal engineers r among those keenly
interested in the provisions Of the
measure. Any duly authorized licens-
ing agent under the explosive act can
accept applications for licenses to hold
tsores of the metals, but actual issuing
of the license Is done by the war in
dustries board. BY means Of these
licenses and data gathered as htey are
issued the board will acquire an in
ventory Of the amount Of them held in
this country.
The new law prohibits the use df the
three metals in the manufacture or re-
pair of ornaments or jewelry and
places sharp limitations on their use
in other lines not associated with wal
work.
A seriohsness Of the platinum met
ais" situation lies in the fact that the
output has decreased while the war
demands have increased. Platinum Il
used principally In chemical industry.
iridium in electrical work and pal
lidium in dentistry, the latter to re-
lease platinum for chemical work.
Platinum Is essential In the manufac-
certain nitric acid processes. Another
important war requirement Is that
platinum compounds u contact
tspoints for gasoline eng1nea.
