PLATINUM NEEDED TO WIN THE WAR

Reliable authorities state that America could not
maintain of more than 100000 in France
account of the lack of platinum. This will be
strange for people, but the Importance of
platinum is thus explained by Dr. Charles L. Parsons,
chief chemist of the of Mines of the Department
of the Interior:
Parsons equally essential in times of peace
if country is to excel Germany in the development
of chemical science and industry. With the aid of
platinum from ordinary wedding ring about 100
pounds of nitric acid be made every "a hours This
pounds nitric acid converted into high explosives
will number of 3inch shells against the Germans
and help to bring the boys back home.
Platinum rings, pins, cigarette cases, and mesh
bags not factors in winning this explosives
