Engagement Rings
And The War

The engaged girl flashed her ring.
But just how do they use platinum
in the war;" she asked.
a good many girls are asking that
question these days. They hear of
The war demands on the platinum
supply. They know that the war has
sent the price sky-high. Platinum
rings are getting as scarce as hens
teeth. Just why?
The answer is that our troops do
not shoot it from their guns, but
they must have it to fire them. Every
branch of the service, from the Ar
tillery to the Signal Corps, from the
submarines to Tie hospitals, depends
upon this white metal for some part
of it's efficiency.
1t is used in promoters, those in
struments which heat-treat the steel
of every gun. 1t is necessary to
make the sulphuric and nitric acid
for powder and explosives. To pro-
duce sulphuric acid, certain gases are
passed over mass of asbestos, or
some such material, which is coated
with platinum Chord and dried. This
mass acts as a catalyzer. That is,
contact with it changes the gas into
he acid required.
The United States had d well~de-
veloped acid-manufacturing industry
before our entry into the war, but
now it has expanded to four times
it's former size. At the beginning of
the present year there was enough
platinum on hand to supply all the
powder plants contemplated at that
time, but the increased war program
has increased their need for it. Eng

held at the Vienna school grounds
yesterday afternoon was not very

many Of them did not know anything
about it. Despite this handicap,
which probably meant the loss of
several thousand dollars in subscrip-

lived up to their reputation as being

who are in France and going over

the struggle lasts or what the cost
may be-
