James Piroutek, aged about As
years old, living on a farm one
mile west of Vodnany, S. d., com
mitted suicide Thursday forenoon
by shooting himself with a shot
gun. Cause of deed is attributed
to dependency, brooding over the
fact that he had an incurable can
Ger of the stomach. Mr.. Pirou
tex had lately visited cancer spe-
cialists in Arkansas, but received
no encouragement. Some years
ago he suffered a sunstroke which
for a time unbalanced his mind
but 6nally>recovered; however, it
is believed that worrying over his
condition brought on the old men
tai condition which is responsible
for him taking his life.
A wife and family of small
children survive the deceased.

Goehripg were called to the home
Thursday afternoon.

The needs of platinum in war in

The needs of platinum in wal in
dustries and in the sciences are ex
planned by DR.. Charles l.. Par
sons, chief chemist, Bureau OF
Mines, Department of Interior, in
an argument for discontinuance
of the use of platinum in jewelry.
"The war can not be won with
out platinum" says DIR. Parsons,
"and it is equally essential in
times of peace if our country is to
excel Germany in the develop
ment of chemical science and in
dustry. With the aid of platinum
from one ordinary wedding ring
about 100 pounds of nitric acid
can be made every "a hours. This
100 pounds of nitric acid convert
ed into high explosives will send a
number of 3.inch shells against
the Germans and help to bring the
boys back home.
Platinum rings, pins, cigarette
cases, and mesh bags are not fac
tors in winning this war-explo
sives are. l wonder if the pur.
chasers and wearers of platinum
jewelry know that explosives can
not be manufactured without the
use of supplies of platinum; that
airplanes must have platinum for
important instruments they need;
that platinum is absolutely neces
sorry in the manufacture of special
promoters; that promoters are
necessary in all steel treatments;
and that no guns can be made
without the use of promoters.
There is a shortage in the sup
ply of platinum. Russia has a
corner on the worlds supply, and
Germany is in Russia. Our do
nestle production of platinum il
negligible, while III military re
quirements are increasing at a ra
pid rate"
