Platinum is worth siO5 an It is extremely

Every laboratory The country has greater or lesser

Because OF the great shortage and demand for plati-

renners buy scrap platinum, and they have not always
been careful in examining those who come to sell.
Now leading chemical magazine suggests that the
government protect platinum by compelling the
registration Of every platinum sale. That would mean
that when you buy platinum wedding ring, or the
chemist purchases platinum crucble you and he nusI
