Found Platinum Beda

Dr. Herschel c. Parker of Columbia university, while on an exploring ex- petition to Alaska last summer, dis covered extensive platinum beds in the Susitana and Yentna valleys in the Cook inlet country. He brought out a large number of ore samples on his return to the States, and is now engaged in exhaustive tests of the metal. He expects to establish a plant for handling the ore when he goes back to Alaska next spring.
 :The Alaska platinum ore is low grade" said Doctor Parker, 'but it is there in abundance. It will have to be handled in large quantities and under scientific methods of economy to make 1t pay. The question of its commercial value is simply one of engineering. With the end of the war and the con sequent wide use of platinum for jew elry, I believe the Alaska beds will prove a valuable source of world sup ply"

SEEKING USES FOR uGNITES
Federal Bureau of Mines Will Make Investigation of What May Be
 New Fuel Supply.

The bureau of mines will make an investigation to determine the con- mercial and economical value of Hg- mites and the practicability of their utilization in production of fuel oil, gasoline substitutes, ammonia, tar. solid fuel, gas for power and other pur- poses, under the terms of a senate bill which the house of representatives adopted. An appropriation of S1oO,- 900 was voted. It was argued that the object Of the investigation is to dem onstrate the commercial value of liz nite, which Is one-third of the coal de posits of the nation.
 A vast volume of the 6sasosits Is on government land, and Texas has ap- proximately 23,ooo, ,OO0. 900 tans. The official report says there Is bitumtnous coal in Texas, but not sufficient to SUD- ply the railroads, and in urging the passage of the bill Representative Wingo of Arkansas told the house that proper development of Ignite in Texas with its full uses demonstrated would save an annual fuel bill to the people of that state of s15,0O0, 0,0o0-Houston Post.

KEPT TRADITIONS OF ARMY
British Government Made Wise Move When 1t Refused to Create New
 Regiments.

It was wise decision on the part of the British government to create no new regiments when they entered the great war. Instead, the number of battalions in existing regiments was increased. Many of these regi- ments were very old, and about them hung the traditions of a glorious past. In uniting himself to such a body as the Royal Scots, the Welsh Fusilier or the Black Watch, as the case might be, man unconsciously lost the sharpness of his own individuality in the eager desire to conform to the traditional characteristics Of a great company. He was, in way, no longer John Doe or Richard Roe, but the Royal Scots, the Welsh Fusiliers guardian of the usages of an age-old organization, exemplar of it's soldier ly conduct. Proud of his regiment, he was taught to prove his pride in his manner and dress.
 It was with the view of emphasiZ- ing every detail of this pride that British military authorities decided to replace the bronze buttons of uni forms with buttons of brass, which
 the soldiers are required to polish daily. Even in the trenches officers and men must shave daily, and when, after a week of hard fighting and sometimes sort rations, the remnant of battalion is relieved, It is required to march at attention with parade ground precision, as 1t leaves the trenches for It's holiday rest in the rear. It is this rigid subjection to every detail that has in part made possible the heroic stand that British troops have made against a more numerous foe. Their lines bent back,
 but they did not break; they lost bit by bit the ground they fought over, but never their fighting spirit, their cohe- siveness, their esprit de corps.-Cen- 1 tury.

HOW EUROPE MAY
 AVERT THE NEXT WAR.
By Willard Price in World Outlook
 for February. 1919.

By Willard Price in World Outlook
 for February. 1919.
 The wealthiest part of France is in ruins- Great plants, machinery, mines-an are destroyed. One fourth the productive capital of the nation is gone. French trade has suffered almost total collapse. Foreign n.Arkets are lost We may say that the world, out of sympathy, will boy colt Germany and will patronize France even at economic loss-but as a matter of fact history has proved that trade does not long move in pa triotic and sentimental channels. Much of the trade which France has lost will never be regained.
 The other nations, though not so devastated in territory, have suffered acutely in other ways.
 The war cost the seven great bel igerents 134 billion dollars. That is greater than the combined cost of all the previous wars of history.
 The daily average cost was S107,- 500,000. Every time the hour hand of the clock made a. full circuit, S4,- 479,00O went up in smoke and thun- der.
 These nations now struggle to stand C1 CS( edllu ldSS t41S 1iS~ N1S, DSs~A@AA on their shoulders the unthinkable indebtedness of 129 billion dollars.
 Such a burden cannot help but chafe the shoulders that bear it. And national debts are not borne by gov- ernments. They are borne by the mass of the people. They weigh most heavily on those who have least.
 The folk throughout Europe who work with their hands and whose compensation when at Its best is 1n- adequate will feel the burden most.
 The result? The sort Of chahng and industrial unrest that have al- ready turned Russia into a sea of blood and misery, that have already torn Germany apart in civil dtssen- sion, that have already caused the subject peoples of Austria-Hungar to break free hoping thereby to escape from under the terrible burden, that have already been expressed in omin- ous labor demonstrations in France, ! Italy, England, the United States and Japan.
 The socialist extremists of all coun- l tries are gathering tremendous pow l CT from the present hard world sit uation. Back of this movement 1 stands the International-the world | organization of socialism. The Inter I national is thoroughly committed l to methods of violence, if vio- I fence is necessary to secure l what 1t considers to be justice 1 for the workers. Violence is already ! being used with terrible effect in 1 Russia, its perpetrators offering the excuse that they are forced to em- ploy the Red Terror so long as they i are threatened by the White Terror l of capitalistic oppression.

SAW FAR INTO THE FUTURE
Men Predicted Coming of the Teie- graph and Airplane as Far Back

One hundred and four years ago, at this season, the war of 1872 was prac- tically over. Peace was signed at Ghent on the evening of December 24, 1874, and then things moved fast, ac cording to existing standards. De cember % one of the American sec retaries left Ghent for London and January 2, 1915, he left England for New York, where he arrived some time in February, and his news was immediately delivered to the citizens by printed handbills. Other cities, however, had to remain in ignorance during the time 1t would take fast rider to urge his galloping horse over the roads between them and New York. The telegraph was not yet in vented, says Christian Science Moni- tor, although Joseph Glanvil, a sev- enteenth century preacher with an interest in the possibilities of inven- ton, had told the Royal society that ito confer, at the distance of the h. dies, by sympathetic conveyances may be as usual to future times as to us in literary correspondence" Glanvil, by the way, also told the Royal soci- ety that "to those who come after us it may be as ordinary to buy a pair of wings to fly into the remotest re gions as now a pair of boots to ride on a journey"

Boy Babies Arrive.

From Reading comes the news that Berks county babies are very largely male. If there are those who consider this a phenomenon, they are little acquainted with history. It is the uni versal experience that immediately after any war the birth rate rises and males are in the majority. This is the way in which nature cares for her own, although no scientist has been able to give any satisfactory explana- tion of the fact
 Unless this reproduction of the de stroyed sex was universal we should soon have one-sided world in the matter of sex. We have had wars from time immemerial and many of them have been extremely bloody, but the average of the sexes has been main tained to the satisfaction of humanity.
 Nature Is good to her own and pre- serves by curious methods a balance which is beneficial to the race. Twenty years from now the world population will be greater than in 1914, even if 1t is not, as some claim, already great CT, in spite of the loss of 6,0O0, 900 or more lives.-Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

shall 1t be allowed to continue and involve one nation after anothe- un- til the world flames anew in a holo- caust more terrible by far than the one whose embers are now being dampened? There are two ways of meeting this world movement
 One is to invite a world struggle by attempting to put down the movement with force. In that way lies disas- ter.
 The other is to endeavor seriously 10 understand the movement, to rec ognlze all that is right in it, and to reahze that much of what is wrong III IL Is due to the distortion of hu- man minds by poverty, misery, hun ger and uncertainty. A full stomach IS the best antidote to Insane class passions. If the nu1titudes of Eur ope were as comfortable as the gen tlemen who attend the Peace Con- terence the tasks of that Conference would be greatly frightened
 The conclusion of the whole mat Ter IS that the more speedily the masses of Europe are fed, clothed. housed, employed, given equal po- l1tical representation, protected bv in oustr1al justice, churched under the inspiration Of a religion that, far from ignoring the working cIas movement, will carry a warm and practical message to the workers and In the last analysis, Christianized since enduring peace and brother hood cannot be realized until the world order becomes Christian-the more speedily these tasks are begun the better chance we stand of avert Ing the death-blow to western civ ilization and of converting the bitter
