PLATINUM OUTPUT
OF ALASKA LAST YEAR

The output Of. platinum, palladium
and other metafas of the platinum
group in Alaska in 1913 is estimated
at 284 fine ounces, valued at $36,600,
according to the United States Geo
logical Survey.
Platinum was recovered from the
gold placers in some districts in
larger amounts and from some in
smaller amounts than last year
One of the most interesting events
of the year in connection with Alaska
mining is the recovery of substantial
amounts of palladium and of some
platinum from the copper ore of the
Salt Chuck mine, near Ketchikan.
Sam Adler, a resident of Dawson in
the early days, and now resident of
Ashcroft, B. c., has done what no
, other man living is known to have
done. Forty years ago he rocked out
of the Caribou the gold to make
wedding ring for the girl he married.
Twenty years ago he rocked out the
gold that was made into his daughters
wedding ring, and this year in the
Atlin district he rocked out gold for
his granddaughter wedding ring.

Our telephone tinkled a few days ago. We
lifted the receiver and lady-like voice drifted
to us over the wire.
I've been reading your Advertising, it said,
but I've been told you use chemicals. And
WELL I'd like to send you my washing, only
I'm afraid those chemicals would ruin my
clothes. Do you actually use chemicals in
washing?"
You will be interested in knowing what we
informed her. 1t was this:
Like the gobkns that in our childhood days
Iurked around the corner, the chemicals" that
laundries use have been imagined by many
housewives to be fearsome things and most
certainly never to be used on the family wash.
The words chemical" and harmful" have been
thought of as having one and the same sinister
meaning
We suffer from a misunderstanding of the
term chemical, for we live on chemicals
on some of the very same chemicals" that
help clean our clothes. The water we drink,
for instance, is a chemical compound of the
gases oxygen and hydrogen. We breathe air

Of chemicals" in some form. These helpful
chemicals" are friendly chemicals.
In common with those of the housewife, our
friendly chemicals" are sours, mild soda,
Javelle Water, Clipped soap, and pure soft
water.
Consider these.
In the dressing served with your salad is a
higher concentration of free acid than will be
found in our Sours.
Everyone has eaten more excess soda ash in
biscuits than is commonly used on the FAM
lily washing in the laundry.
The snowy whiteness which you secure with
beaches is obtained by US with an even nIder
preparation -Javelle Water. 1t was this same
Javelle Water that was so helpful during the
war in purifying wounds.
But these materials are only incidental in our
laundry. Our principal chemical" and real
cleansing agent is pure, soft water. This water
in which your clothes are washed by us is
changed as many as from nine to twelve times
in the washing process. 1t is this soft water,
with creamy suds, that gives to our laundry

"The biggest users Of motor
trucks in the world are the Ameri'
can farmers, with 1879 motor
trucks in operation" asserts R. 5,
Odell Of the odell- ll-Hamilton COM
pany.
Manufacturers come second with
1928, and retailers third, with
74,486.
These figures are taken from re-
liable statistics Tor the year 1917.
Estimates for 1918 show = tremen.
dous increase in the number OF
motor trucks in use, but with the
farmer still in the lead.
1t is estimated that during 1918
approximately 3s0,000,000 tons Of
farm products were hauled to
market in motor trucks by the farm
ers and gardeners Of the United
States.
The actual operating figures aver
aged for the United States show
that motor truck Transportation is
twice as cheap as horse-drawn
transportation. 90.
The motor truck handles life's
necessities.

Hebb Motors Company to
Put Out Smaller Truck

The Hebb Motors company OF
Lincoln, Neb., will commence manu-
featuring = three-quarter ton Patriot
truck about September !, it was an.
nouneed yesterday. This truck will
be built along the same lines as the
one and one-half and the two and
one-half ton trucks which are being
put out at the present time.
It will be one Of the sturdiest
small trucks on the market, say the
I1ebb people. for all the features OF
the big Patriot trucks will be in
corporated in il and it will not be
light and flimsy as some light trucks
are.
As soon as the manufacture Of
this machine is started, the output
will rapidly be increased until the
factory will be turning out 5000 OF
them annually.
The company has been figuring
on this design for some little time
and the plans were completed about
two weeks ago.
Patriot trucks are represented In

short OF = calamity. Proper zoning
regulations will prevent it.
Protection to Health.
Zonins also is . protection to
public health through preventing
undue congestion of population by
limiting the height OF buildings, and
the area Of the lot which they may
occupy. The regulations that are
established are BY no means dras-
tic, or even contrary to general
practice. They simply protect that
which is desirable in existing con-
ditions, and prevent parasitic build
ing which takes advantages of its
neighbors through building 4 struc-
ture which is unduly high, or covers
too great a percentage of lot, or
is not in keeping with the character
of the neighborhood where it is To-
Gated. Apartment houses, for in
stance, are recognized as necessary
conveniences in . city. They should
be built in districts not occupied
exclusively by single family dwell
ines, for they more often than not
have caused depreciation OF proper
ty values through producing
change in the character of the
neighborhood since they seldom
observe the same building resula-
tons as do the single family homes.
Zoning regulations are also neces-
sary to promote public safety. By
limiting the height Of buildings in
the business district, undue street
congestion is prevented. By limit
ing the height OF buildings to say
10 or II stories, a greater spread
OF the business district results, pro-
dueing a much more desirable con-
dition through the development Of
a greater area Of property for
business purposes, incidentally in
creasing tax returns. and what is
probably more important than any
thing else, simplifying the handling
OF traffic by not concentrating it |
upon, , few streets, but rather diff
fusing it over many streets.
Popular in Other Cities.
Zoning laws have proved very
popular in cities where they have
been adopted. They act as a bene-
fit rather than a restriction upon
property. As previously stated, the
purpose of a zoning law is to pro-
tect and not to restrain. The coming
provisions apply only to new build
ings, and are not retroactive, build
ings already erected being permitted
10 continue to be used for the pur-
poses, for which they were designed.
The usual character of restrictions
established for the uses of property
are FIVE in number: Two for resi-
dence, one for, commerce, and two
for industry.
InfFthe first residential district.
only one family homes are permit
ted. In. the second residential dis
trict, one and two family homes,
apartments, tenements, hotels,
boarding houses. schools, libraries,
Omaha daily bee., 1919-08-24

churches and other similar institu.
tions are permitted, but no factories
or stores. In the commercial dis.
tricts stores are permitted, also any
use permitted in the residence dis
trict. In the industrial district
commerce and residences are per
mitted, as we'll as industries which
are not Objectionable by reason OF
the omission of smoke, noise, odors
dust or gas. In the unrestricted dis
tricts, which are usually along the
railroads and water front, all forms
of use are permitted.
Produces Natural Differentiation.
In any city which has varied top
ography, such as Omaha, the rail-
road industries usually seek the
lower ground along the water
courses, and residential development
seeks higher ground. There is thus
produced a natural differentiation in
the use OF property which the zon-
ing law seeks to promote. The ma
ture Of height restrictions usually
established vary in different cities.
In New York height restrictions are
established according to the width
Of the street. In the downtown dis
trict Of New York. no building here
after can be erected which exceeds
two and one-half times the width OF
the street upon which it faces. This
is particularly interesting in view OF
the fact that New York has been
notoriously the city Of high build
ings.
On lower Broadway. for instance,
no building in New York can now
exceed height of Us feet. except
for towers and spires. The New
York restrictions on height vary from
two and one-half times the width OF
the streets in the business district,
to one time the width of the street
in the outlying residence sections.
Since here the usual width OF street
is 90 feet, dwellings in no case may
exceed that height. In St. Louis fiat

Amateur Tire Patching
Ruins Automobile Tires

Amateur tire patching ruins thou
sands of automobile tires each year.
Ii is a common practice among au-
tomobile owners when receiving a
cut or puncture in tire to insert a
patch on the inside of the casing
at the point of injury, thinking that
the damage is permanently repaired.
Such a repair will in time ruin any
tire. says the B. F. Goodrich Rub
Der company.
1t is good practice to apply
patches in such cases, but a tire
sleeve should always be placed on
the outside of the tire opposite the
patched portion at the same time.
The sleeve serves to bind the tire,
hold the torn and injured parts of
the fabric in place and prevent fur
ther chafing and rupture.

Cleaning Chassis Parts.

In cleaning small parts Of the
chassis, such as the oil holes on
brake cross shafts, brake connec-
tons, spark and throttle connections,
etc, use an oil can filled with kero-
sene and stiff brush. In this way
the kerosene in Just the proper
amounts can be directed just where
it is needed. This method is par
ticularly useful in cleaning out oil
holes which have become partly
filled with dirt.

RAISING RATTLESNAKES
Find There Is a Good Living In a
Farm for That Purpose.

Farm TOR max uTpoS
The queerest farm in the Ozarks Is
that of Miss Rose Ahern and her
brother, Henry. Several miles up In
dian creek, in the heart of the rockiest
and toughest part of the hills and
bluffs, this brother and sister operate
what they call their diamond rattle
snake farm" And, being in a neigh
borhood where snakes are plentiful,
they are doing a thriving business.
For three years the Aherns have
been following this business, and they
will probably have 800 or 400 snakes
this season. They expect to do far
better than ever before. now that the
war has ended. The principal profits
come from the extracting of poison
from the rattlesnakes, which is sold at
high prices to doctors, chemists and
others. Physicians use this poison,
after it has been prepared In a scien-
tific manner, for the treatment of cpl
lepsy and other diseases. 1t is known
as crotalin.
They also get a good revenue from
the sale of live reptiles to museums
and travelling shows. The established
rate is . cents a pound. A large, fat
serpent usually brings several dollars,
The smaller, poorer specimens are
killed and rendered into oil, which
has a steady sale at 81 an ounce.
