BOROTRA
4 ROWING WiGLOER
OF THE RACKET

Jean Borotra, the pump salesman member of the French Davis
cup team, has captured tennis laurels in the United States, England,
Australia, South America and Africa. And in each place the Bound
ing Basque has carried the spectators with him. He possesses ev-
erything in the line of strokes, combined with a dashing attack that
makes him a colorful show on the courts. His antics are amusing
and his spectacular shots continually call for applause. Borotra was
made in 1924 at Wimbledon, the classic of tennis events. His vic
tory in the singles that year and again in 1926 put him among the
really great players Of the world.

Russia has had long experience with
platinum. Natives mined II when II was
worth only quarter as much IS gold.
Tried PIatinnm Coinage.
.About 100 years ago Russia tried
mint had struck on l.4OO, 600 platinum
coins. But the market cost of thu metal
fiuctuated 80 much that the practice
was abandoned. It has been limited
that IL the Soviet government produces
more platinum than It can profitably
market, the treasury may store 1t away
as q reserve for paper money In the
same way gold and silver bullion depos-
tied In the Treasury backs up Ameri-
can paper money.
Practically All platinum comes from
placer deposits That Is, gravel and
sand banks which have washed down
from rocks containing platinum. The
exception to this rule Is the platinum
deposit recently discovered in South
Africa. Here the metal occurs IN rocks
in sufficient quantity to warrant shaft
mining. The platinum, however, is IN
such 4 state that it creates difficult
problems Of. extraction from the ore.
Chemists are at work on the ores, so
Russia must look to her newly rewon
laurels. The piatinum market Is prize
contended for BY Russia, Colombia and
South Africa.
six tons OF platinum seem a small
supply to satisfy meta1-hungry world
But q little platinum goes long way.
A cubic inch Of platinum can be drawn
into wire practically invisible to the
human eye, making strand $4,000
miles long. In other words, one cubic
inch Of platinum can be stretched out

TO equal her pre-war production Of

of the Soviet state engineers. Mean
