OFFER PLATINUM
TO GOVERNMENT
(By Associated PYess)

AS0OSt0GG0
WASHINGTON, April 19-Many Of
fers of platinum held BY private citi-
gems are being received by the gov
eminent as the result of the shortage
which Is handicapping scientific and
munitions work necessary to winning
the war. DR.. C.. L. Parsons, Of the
Bureau of Mines, said today some OF
the platinum had been rendered as
gifts, while other lots were offered
for sale at the market price because
the owners did not think 1t patriotic
to hold metal for personal adoFnment
in the present crisis. All OF the own
ers were instructed to turn over their
holdings to certain refiners, who will
hold the platinum, subject to govern
ment disposition under the order
Communicating all free and unwofked
platinum.
Requisitioning OF all platinum in
the hands of manufacturing jewelers.
may be the next step In the govern
ment effort to obtain q sufficient
quantity for the manufacture of acids
and for use in electrical apparatus.
The war industries board has warned
jewelers. that not more than 500 an
ounce will be paid for Communicated
platinum and that efforts to corner
all the scrap metal available by rum
ming up the price may rebound to
their financial loss.
Government officials are watching
with keen interest the work OF the
women's national league for the con-
servation Of platinum and are assisting
in an unofficial way their efforts to
discourage the use Of platinum In
jewelry. The league is urging women
to have their Jewels reset in gold or
in some Of the white alloys Of gold.
such as palladium gold. which would
give the same effect as platinum. Be-
sides aiding the government they
would obtain q new ornament without
cost, since the difference in the value
of the platinum and the new setting
would more than pay for the work. Of
resetting.

With the exception of limited
storage capacity In retail dealers
yards, there are only three places
where coal can be kept. First, In
the ground where 1t has always
been, and where it must remain un-l
til mined and loaded into cars. Sec,
ond, in the cars themselves, where!
unless those cars are promptly
moved to their destination and un-l
loaded it is a hindrance to transpor-l
tation, blocking up tracks and yards
already overtaxed and sadly needed
for transportation Of other commod-
tiles. Third, in the coal bins Of do
nestle consumers, and in the coal
piles of Industrial users. The value
Of coal as fuel begins only when it,
reaches the third place. The fuel
problem is to get the coal from the
first place Of deposit to the final
place Of deposit with as little delay
as possible. and in as steady and
continuous stream as circum-
stances will permit.
The railroads may be compared
to q water pipe, which needs to run
full all the time to carry the neces-'
sary amount of water to its destina-
ton. II that water is shut OF for
any appreciate time. it means an
ultimate shortage. The pipe can
carry no more than its maximum
capacity per day. !
Inconvenience Of paying for coal
in the spring or summer, when it
will not be needed until autumn or
winter, should not influence any
consumer to delay placing his order
and securing his supply. It is far
wiser to borrow money in the spring
to pay for ones coal than to wait
until autumn or winter, when II the
coal has not been mined and
shipped, money cannot procure 1t.

Owing to more favorable weather
conditions, a greater quantity Of
coal can be transported each day
from April to November than Is pos
sible in each day from November to
March. Conditions adverse to coal
transportation are sure to exist ev-
cry winter. Such adverse con-
ditions were unusually severe and
long-continued in the winter just
passed. To an appreciable degree,
however, they have existed every
winter, and 1t IL the part Of folly to
suppose they will not be encountered
next winter.
THERE IS PLENTY OF COAL.
There is plenty OF coal in the
ground to meet every need. This
coal can be taken from the ground
only In consequence of orders placed
with the operators. If those orders
are delayed the coal remains where
nature has put 1t. Coal operators
have no other storage space for
their coal. Even II such storage
space existed. 1t would be Of little
benefit. The coal might as well re-
main in the mines as be stored at
the mouth of the mines. In either
case, to be used it must be trans
ported to the points where needed.
Consequently it must be loaded on
coal cars, and this - equally neces.
sary whether the coal Is taken d.
rectly from the mine to the car, or
taken from a storage pile at the
mines mouth to the car. Unless the
operators have orders for their coal
they cannot load the coal cars. nor
will the coal cars be placed at their
mines. Without orders for coal the
operators cannot ship it, for they
can give no directions where II
should be taken.
