OUTLOOK FOR COPPER

Writing in the North American
Review, Sydney Brooks, British Pub
aicist, writes:
The end of the war finds areas. in
Europe and Asia Minor inhabited by
150,00O,OOO people practically with
out pound of copper among them
And when to these we add the ter
ritories that Germany has ,overrun
and despoiled we get population of
not less than 200, 10000 in a state of
copper famine.
1t is not easy to realize all that this
means. Our great-grandfathers would
not have minded the prospect Three
generations ago an output Of less
than 10000 tons year sufficed for
the needs of the entire world. Now
adays we consume annually over
100000 tons.
Not only have great and populous
regions been denuded of copper, but
the production Of the metal has been
so vastly accelerated by the events
of the past three and half years that
the exhaustion of the chief existing
mines is now matter OF one or two
decades, and no more.
The United States at present pro-
duces some S. per cent of the total
output. In February, 1914, five
months before the outbreak OF the
war, NJ Ryan, the president of the
Amalgamated Copper Company, de-
clared that the copper available in
the United States would be exhausted
in fifteen years. Since then the UNI
precedented demands of the bellig-
erents must have considerably re-
duced his estimate OF Americas pro-
ductivity.
Metallurgists seem to agree that
the extracting of copper from low
grade ores has already been carried
pretty nearly as far as it can be.
Thousands of laboratories are work
ing on the problems Of synthetic cop
per and of an efficient substitute. but
SO far without even CLEAN of sue
cess.
Meanwhile the demand for copper
which has been mounting in great up
ward leaps lfor the past thirty years
has been immensely stimulated by the
war, and will soon develop into
world wide and almost ferocious
scramble We are not faced with any
immediate prospect of the disap-
pearance of the metal. We are faced
with a certainty of shortage that
among the nations that do not look
ahead and guard themselves in adj
vance will be little less than famine.

BEWARE OF IMPOSTERS

Occasional complaints have reached
the offices of Collector of Internal rev.
enue Justus Wardell of impersonat-
ors of internal revenue officers. In all
instances steps will be taken to pro-
fect taxpayers and vigorously prose-
cute imposters, it was announced.
1t was pointed out that every duly
authorized officer of the United
States Internal Service carries with
him, at all times, proper credentials.
The penalty for impersonating rev.
enue officer with wrongful intent is
a fine of not more than $1,000 or inn
prisoment for not more than three
years. or both.

OFFICERS MUST ENFORCE
THE GAMBLING LAW

A copy oil Acknowledgement Fow
ler's opinion interpreting the anti
gambling law along the lines agreed
| upon between himself and District
| Attorney Summerheld of Washoe
county recently has been sent to the
districts attorneys of Nevada. The
opinion follows strictly the line of
the agreement as reached at the
conference and says that five games,
poker, stud horse, bridge, five hum
drel and solo may be played without
any limit on the stakes, providing
no percentage is taken out. 1t also
provided that fixed charge to play
ers for the use of gambling paraph
ernaila, the charge to cover the cost
of maintaining the games may be
made. 1t also recommends that Ii
censes be fixed by the counties and
municipal authorities for operating
the games.
The opinion says that it is incun-
bent on peace officers to see that the
law is enforced and on that point
the Encouragement says:
ut is incumbent upon peace Off
GERS to see that the five legalized
games are played with conformity
with the law The temptation is very
great for house where said games
are operated to run them on per-
centage basis. This is a clear vio-
lation of the law and under the act
is a felony.
"The policy Off my administration
will be to vigorously enforce this law
as we'll as the other laws Of this state
state"

SOLDIERS INSURANCE

II
Charles r. Evans is still on the job
helping soldier, sailors and marines
in the War Risk Insurance matters.
He has sent forward the following
editorial from the Washington Post
which he considers states the facts
we'll.
when Col. Lindsey retired from
the Office Of, director of the bureau
of war risk insurance, he asserted that
the former soldiers were allowing
their insurance to lapse at the rate of
billions a. week. The statement
seemed almost incredible, was gem
orally accepted as rhetorical flourish
used to embellish the colonel's opin-
ion of Secretary Glass.
Now comes the volunteer commit
tee, headed by Charles E. Hughes, and
1t has been reviewing the work and
considering the problems that con-
front the bureau. It tells us that rs
per cent of the soldiers insurance has:
already been allowed to lapse. The
announcement is staggering. 1t
means that since the armistice. was
signed insurance aggregating $4,000
100000, or about much as all the
other life insurance in the United
States has been abandoned. The sold
iers have thus, rejected the only really
substantial reward the United States
has offered them in recognition of their
services This rejection. unless a
way may yet be found to remedy its
consequences. meanst that in one of
its two great objects the scheme of
war risk insurance has, failed.
The conceivers had in mind, first,
the insurance of the lives of soldiers
during the war, and second, the crea-
ton of a vast new body of perma-
nent life insurance that would have
"a profoundly beneficial effect on the
social and economic life of the nation.
1t would be superhuous' to mention
the good that would result from 4,
00O,OOO,0OO men carrying all of $40,
OOO,00O,000 of life insurance, most of
WHANH WOuiu I1Ot didNC OCCd1 TAKEN OUT
in any other form. On the assump-
ton that all of the insured soldiers
would have elected to convert their
term insurance into Encouragement
policies, their savings, as compared
with nongovernment insurance, would
have been about $500 apiece (the aver
age policy was more than $4,000 or
total of $l,440OO0,OOO. In other
words a grateful union offered its liv-
ing a gift of that magnitude.
OF course the 5000, 100000 of life
inurance that was paid upon deaths
in war amply justified the war risk
insurance enterprie. A hundred
thousand families daily bless the fore
sight that thus provided for them
without interminable pension.
How can the soldiers, lost in the
mazes of civil life be found and per-
suaded to revive their lapsed poicies?f.
The war risk bureau and Congress
to the extent THAT additional legisla-
ton may be necessary should leave no
stone unturned to find the answer"

An Old Fault Finder

An irritable and fault finding dispo-
sition is often caused by indigestion.
A man with good digestion and bow
els that act regularly is usually good
natured. When troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. They also
cause a gentle movement OF the
bowels
