Delegates representing more than
800 branch societies of the national
organization viii gather Monday in At
lanta- Scores of prominent speakers
have been engaged for the occasion, and
members of the program committee ex-
pect this to be the most successful
national meeting of the association.
Health authorities in Georgia plan to
use the convention as means of
bringing about campaign for a de-
crease in the tubereular death rate
throughout the south. Compared with
those Of the north. the entire group of
southern states, with the exception of
Georgia, has an alarmingly large death
rate from tuberculosis. Virginia's death
rate is $50 per 100000. Tennessee has
a rate of 14S; Kentucky, 1888; South
Carolina, no; Mississippi, 107, and
T.OuiSiana ITO Fi1uraS for Alabama
West Virginia. Arkansas. Texas and
Oklahoma are not available because
these states are not included in the
official registration area, but their
death rate is believed to be equally
high with the other southern states.
Through an energetic campaign, ex-
peeted to get under way at the ma
tiOnal convention, health authorities
throughout the south hope to bring
about changes in tuberculosis conditions
that viii lower the rate in other south
eFn states to that of Georgia, which is
only IS per 100 600

a fourth as large are used.
Can you imagine sheet of It's
sue paper only $4,000 of an inch

that it can be hammered out that
thin. 1t has a wide variety of
uses: as rivets and plates in dent

planes; in dyestuffs and chemi-
cal industries; in stylographic and
Photographic pens. watch springs
and hypodermic needles.
In making war materials its big
use was as a catalytic agent that

war use was for decorating mil

used for shattered sections of

He is valuable man in more ways

Aside from these uses, plati-'

RADIO TELLS HISTORY
AND VALUE OF PLATINUM

Platinum, worth 1925 an ounce.
used to be plated with gold and
passed as counterfeit COMA hoax
for which men were hanged. Now
it is more valuable than gold, says
FL. L. Cole, of the chemistry de-
partment of the State College of
Washington, talking over the ra-
dio broadcaster.
Nearly as beautiful and far
more useful than gold, platinum
has qualities of worth and merit
never dreamed of for the yellow
glittering metal, Mr.. Cole says
The first large quantity was taken
to England from Jamica in 1740
and studied by the English scien-
fists.
1t is widely but not abundantly
distributed, and is found under
the same conditions as gold, the
principal foreign deposits being
in Russia, Spain, the United States
of Columbia, Australia and South
Africa. In this country it has
been discovered in Alaska, Ne
vada, California, Colorado, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah.
Wyoming and Washington.
Russia produced 900 of all the
platinum thus far recovered, and
Colombia go more, leaving only
10 from all other countries
Since Russia adopted soviet gov
eminent it has been necessary to
look elsewhere for this regal met
al, and so Colombia is now furn-
ishing most of the worlds supply
An interesting story is told of
Colombian town where a dry
blowing method was used in gold
mining to seperate the gold from
this metal not then appreciated
Much of the debris" was thrown
into the streets and yards. When
platinum rose so enormously in
value the government PANIED the
streets, the natives mined their
dooryards, and one man burned
down his house. recovered enough
platinum to rebuild a better
house and had $4,000 left.
Today most of the metal is
dredged from shallow Colombian
rivers, though small amount is
obtained by natives who use the
primitive methods. The scarcity
and valuable properties of plati-
nun account for its great demand
and high price. There are prob
ably not more than 100000 pounds
in the world and the United
States has not more than a fifth
of this.
About 100000 pounds are used
yearly for iewelry, especially as
settings for diamonds. Civiliza
