WAR DEMAND FOR PLATINUM
10 Essential in Production Of SuIphuric
ACID, Indispensable in Manufac-
ture Of Explosives.

Two universally known products
one rare metal. the other common
acid-have lately assumed importance
that is mystifying to the laity. Plati-
mum has become virtually the king of
metals, and sulphuric acid the king of
chemicals. The reasons for this are
most simple. Platinum is obtained
chiefly from the Ural mountains. Owing
TO chaotic conditions in Russia. little
of it is being mined. 1t is absolutely
essential in the manufacture of sui
phuric acid. Without a small amount
of it being present, oxygen, water and
sulphur dioxide will not unite chem
icaIly. Sulphuric acid, on the other
hand, was probably the most indis-
pensable product used In the prosecu-
ton of the war. It's tremendous Atm
In the manufacture of high explosives.
For instance, one obtains a fairly
harmless liquid by mixing glycerin and
nitric acid. II sulphuric acid is added,
II combines the two chemically by
taking an atom Of hydrogen and one
of oxygen from the nitric acid. an |
atom OF hydrogen from the glycerin, |
forming water, and taking 1t unto n /
self. One then has nitroglycerin. In .
similar manner sulphuric acid Is need
ed for the manufacture of guncottOD
and INT. Thus we had the pecu-
liar cycle of circumstances that made
1t unpatriotic for an American to have
In his possession more than an ounce
Of platinum In the form of jewelry.
however. there Is said to
be good reason for the belief that a
very large proportion of the so-called
platinum In modern jewelry is COM
posed wholly or at least in part Of
cheaper metals.-Popular Mechanics

soon learning to use the mothers fears

be n of those badly spoiled, querulous
young ones who are the adherence Of

How does that mother know what her
daughter Is going to be called upon to
do in the years to come when health
may be her prime asset? Did the moth
ers of the last generation think for one
instant that their sons and daughters
would be called upon to bear the bur-
dens they have? The nurses, ambu-
lance drivers, canteen and Red Cross
workers who went "over there" had no
time to stop and think how they were
feeling, when necessity was the urge
and the wounded and the weary had to
be cared for.
The words of that young father ring
still in my ears, and are worth re-
peating:

life L cannot foresee; but l do hold 1t
as a trust to train her to know that
she has a body tuned to the highest

the three Of them started off, Blllie
footing the horn, uncles Wiggily steer
ing with the turnip wheel n sprink-
ling pepper on the sausage tires now
and then, and Nurse Jane holding fast
to the seat, so she would not be
jounCcd off.
Uncle Wlggily gave Billie and Nurse
Jane a nice ride around the woods and
over the fields, and pretty soon they
came to the eight and innocent store.

Of sasSafras ice cream" said Uncle
Wiggily. I'm leave my auto out in
front until we come back"
Maybe someone will AXE IT, said
"Oh. ] guess not" said the bunny.

Billie were In the eleven and twelve

So the Skeezicks took the regular
toy balloon horn off Uncle Wiggily's
auto. And when the bunny came out
with Nurse Jane and the goat boy and
started off in the machine, all OF a

Billie Wagtail, the goat, Billie had seen
what the Skeezicks did.
Where is there a horn In this auto?"
asked the Skee2icks.
"On my head have two horns on
my head, and l can blow them Just
like an auto horn!' cried Billie the
goat, "Ah, ha!'
Horns. On your head! Oh, you goat!

the sausage tires. III ride with you, ="
spoke Nurse Jane.
Uncle Wiggily went out TO the corn
crib, where he kept his auto, which
had a turnip for a steering wheel, and
the bunny rabbit found that the ma
chine was rather dusty and dirty, The
sausage tires, too, were quite fiat and
one had n hole IN where Jackie and
