when ship was wrecked off the
coast Of Lancashire and its cargo
OF potatoes floated ashore and
into the pots Of hungry folk.

How Silver Is
Helping Us Beat
the Axis
IT TAKES a silver bullet to slay

1T TAKES a silver bullet To slay
a demon. Or so the ancient
mystics believed. Bunk. you
say, and bunk it is. But never
theless a lot OF little demons. in
the form of Japs and Nazis, are
soon going to learn there's a
modern counterpart to this occult
legend. The teacher will be Uncle
Sam, and he's going to drive the
lesson home with millions of sill
yer" bullets and bombs.
Revolutionary discoveries about
the industrial use of silver have
been made during the past year
inventions that now enable
America to forge a bigger and
better war machine. And Uncle
Sam, who has a corner on the
worlds silver supply, is making
the most of it.
Silver is an excellent substitute
for copper. zinc, nickel and other
metals, releasing these for still
other war uses. Silver and its
alloys are now being used in
the construction of battleships,
bombs. guns. shells. tanks, tor
pedoes, trucks and planes.
The chief industrial use of sill
yer today is silver solder. This
will join metal so firmly that the
joint is actually stronger than the
original metal. So it's going 10
be silver jointed shells and
bombs that will rain down on the
enemy forces there's going
TO be no mystic legend about
them, for kill demons they will.
Industrial experts report that
the use of silver solder is speed
ing up the manufacture OF the
sinews of war. and saving I'M
accounted millions of hours and
labor.
The use OF silver bearings in
American bombers and fighting
planes increases their speed and
enables their engines TO with
stand greater shock and vibra-
ton. In general, silver adds
greatly TO the life Of all types OF
engines and, in the case of break
downs, repairs can be made in a
few hours with solder, which
otherwise would take months.
In making use of silver i'm forg-
ing his war machine, Uncle Sam
has a decided advantage-for his
enemies have only limited sup
ply. Furthermore, a lot of his
discoveries are secret.
American industries have been
quick TO leap on the new inven-
tions. During 1871, 10000, 900
ounces of silver were used in the
u. s. and Canada. anIfncrease OF
almost 95 per cent over 1910.
The new silver-studded war equipy
ment is just beginning TO flow off
the assembly lines.

The judge also dismissed one

Requests of defense counsel to
dismiss the whole case were re-

Eugene Carey, defense counsel,
said the defense will not put any
witnesses on the stand because
the government has not proved
