department. of the interior, there
seems to be little hope Of any
marked increase in the output Of
platinum in the United States or
Canada over the small output here
toiOFe made, and as the supplies are
below normal and the demand ia
large, it is reasonably certain that
the price of platinum metals in this
country during 1920 will be at least
as high as it was during the last
quarter of 1919 and possibly higher.

ISLAND OF MANY MEMORIES


81. Helena. the island where NapO-
leon Bonaparte spent some six years
Of exile and where he died In 1921, has
one Of the most peculiar landscapes
In the world. and by reason OF the
great variety OF trees and plants that
grow there.
For many years the island was n
sort OF ocean crossroads where all
slips plying between Europe aud the
East stopped for supplies. II was un.
Inhabited when discovered and most
Of Its population Is made up OF the de
%scendanis OF persons who deserted
from passing vessels. European, Afrl-
ran and Aslatlc peoples are oil repre-
sented.
Nearly all OF these settlers OF many
nee and nntlonnlltles tried TO intro
duce into the Island plants and trees
from their home countries. as people
are wont to do the world over. Some
Of these failed 10 survive, but a sur.
prlsing vnrlety Of crops and trees

rich soil OF the little island. As a re-
suit the English oak tree today grows
beside bananas and palms. Raising
dates Is an industry OF the valleys,
while Scotch pines grow on the up
lands, and some OF the level land Is
covered with English gorse. Lemon

Miss Elizabeth Ryan. the California girl who has been winning. a large share of woman's tennis laurels in Europe for the last several years, has been coming in for much warm praise from London tennis observers be- cause of her splendid showing in the covered court cham piOnshfp just com pleted in the British capital. Miss Ryan's game,'' according to one
 critic, 'tis always most interesting to
 watch, for she is one of the few play CTS who can cut the ball consistently and make it pay. There are no wo- men and not many men who hit harder at the net than she does; off | the ground she can reach any part i of the court with her chop or her drop; and she is a real match player !who hits harder and straighter in the I pinch Miss Ryan not only won the ladies' singles in this tourney, but, paired with Randolph Lycett, success fully defended the mixed doubles i cha m Dionship also.

PICKS HIS TEAM
 TO LOOSE MEET

From Philadelphia it is reported that Harry HI11man, track coach at Dartmouth. has written letter to Lawson Robertson, Penn's track mentor. assuring the latter that Dartmouth is almost certain to lose the track meet with the Quaker team on Franklin Field next Satur- day. In-fact, the Hanoverian coach becomes more specific than this. He quotes his own carefully prepared figures to demonstrate that Dart mouth is going to lose by a score of 63 to 52. Robertson, instead of re- taIiating with an equally polite prophecy of defeat for his own men, says quite simply that TIi1lman is right to an extent, but the margin of victory will be even greater than he forecasts.
