is good business for the consumer.
The slightly higher initial cost OF cop

orally, would not deter their use
where the ultimate saving accomplish
ed by them was understood.
OF course there are many basic IN
dustries in which copper must De
used Electricity is one of these.
But in the last twenty-five years the
copper industry has made tremendous
strides in many directions. To-Day II
is one of the CHIEF sources of the ma
tons wealth. Europe today is clam
oring for American copper, but Eu-
rope hasn't the money to pay for all
the copper it wants, anc our INDUS
try, like many others, is suffering
from a heavy curtailment of it's ex-
port business, which will continue un-
til Europe finds some way to finance
itself
Hundreds of millions of good
American dollars are invested i'll tine

|. plants have been reared. 1t is OF ma
tional Importance that inese nuge m
vestments be kept busy, and penang
the adjustment OF Europe's economic
difficulties, they must depend in large
measure on domestic consumption.
Some idea of the enormous growth
of the copper industry niuy he gath
hn 70 thuf
the smelter output from domestic ores
was, roughly speaking, 3S0,0G0, 900
pounds, by 1916 it had jumped to l.
Z 92S, 900, 900 pounds, and in 1918, under
pressure of war needs, reached ap-
proximately 2,5OO,000,000 pounds. Also
the Importance of the United States
as copper producing country may
be gagged from the fact that while
in 1896 the mine output of copper
represented 51.5 per cent of the
worlds supply, between 1916 and 1918
it was 81 per cent anc vi 1919 it ran
between So and so per cent.
Need for New Methods
OF course no such tremendous in
crease of production could have been
brought about on the basis of de
mand alone. But demand, particular
ly that created by the growth of the
electrical industry. stimulated ad
vances in the metallurgical as:u MIN
ing arts, making it possible to work
low grade ores, which twenty-five
years ago could not have been taker
from the ground with any prospects
of profit.
A frequently voiced criticism o
the copper producing industry is tina
it has not always followed its pro
, duct through; that having mined
: smelted, refined and sold copper i
has laid little Or no further attention
to it. However true this may hav,
been, it no longer rs the case. TIL,

First Demand For Copper

First Demand For copper
When Germany embarked on the
war which ultimately set the whole
world ablaze, about the first thing
she did after mobilizing her armies
was 10 gather up every scrap, OF cop
per, brass and bronze in the empire.
Not only were the treasures OF mu-
seums seized and public statues torn
from their pedestals to be thrown IN
the crucibles, locomotives stripped or
their copper fire boxes and tubes but
the Kitchens, of the numbiesI homes
were raped, and the treasured pots
and kettles of the 1usewiNes were
seized in the nationai interest. Why
did ,Germany do this? because Ger
many is not what we would common
~ call copper ia oducing country.
The Germans knew that WITHOUT cop
per they soon would be helpless.
They Knew too that blockade would
; shut off all outsIae supply, and SO
they lost no time IN moblIizins every
ounce OF the red metal that they
could lay their hands on.
When the United States entered the
war its first demand, almost, was on
the copper and brass industries. Over
night lhe great producing organlza
tions OF the American copper compa
MES were enlisted in the national
service. Under intensive pressure
the mines OF Michigan, Montana and
Arizona began TO pour forth theil
heavily weighted ore, the smelters
and refinerles established new rec
ords for output. the rolling mills Went
N s
basis, and there started into the am
munition factories of the country {
flow OF copper, brass and. bronze
sheets, tubes and rods such as the
country had never Witnessed before
and in all likelihood never will SEE
again.
In a few weeks, the great cOppe
and brass industries of the United
States enlisted themselves in war ser
vice, supplying not only this coun
try, but the rest of the world will
a large proportion of it's supply of thu
precious red and yellow metals. Thi
service copper and brass rendered 1,
the very end, as they will again i
the need ever arises. : 81. :
Those who are perplexed over thu
present plight of copper and its a.
Toys must remember that an indus
try fundamentally commercial II
character, cannot run away from
home and go to war without sustain
ing some hurts. Not that capper wa
without previous war experience, TO
it had plenty and it profited great
by it. Copper did its bit in the Spar

Balkan wars. and it gas-eu not oni

but by the apprehension which these
wars caused in all countries, spurring
them to abnormal measures of pre-
paredness, in which copper and brass
played a very large part.
Abandoned ,Hseh Field
But in all this American copper
found no reason to abandon In the
slightest degree its commercial POSI-
ton. 1t could take care VI uoneh
such wars and never relinquish us
foothold as one of the chief ILetais OF
commerce. But when America went
to war things were different. Ordi-
nary considerations of business were
thrust aside. Our country was me-
naced and its every resource instant
ly placed at the disposal of the ted
eral government. Every ounce of cop
per that could be produced was need
ed for the war service of our coun'
try and its allies. Every raciiity of
the great brass and copper fabricating
plants was put to its maximum speed.
And overnight two of the country
greatest Industries were metamor-
phosed from producers of essentials
of peace producers OF essentials OF

October 2, died last Thursday
morning. The accident was the
result of a collision between car
