People ask this question quite
frequently: What is the best

Without exception they are in

climate. Is it better to be in a
hot climate rather than a cold
one? Before answering ! make
it a point to stress the impor-

/ recall one businessman who
had recovered nicely from his
coronary thrombosis. His family
practically forced him into re-
tirement. They all moved to
California for his own good"
There was no question, that in
moving from the East he had
found a more equable climate.
But did he have peace of mind?
No, He stewed and fretted his

United i'll the United States. He
pleaded guilty. however, to CEN
sorship violations by the use OF
codes in his letters and was SEN
fenced to serve l8 months in
prison.
While SIS agents were mark
ing the case closed, they were
opening 10 new smuggling cases
as a result of leads turned up in
that one investigation.
In 1914, Director Hoover or
dered four more SIS agents into
Colombia to aid in breaking up
the traffic. The agents divided
the country into four operational
areas and went to work. One
agents area was the wild jungle
country at the foot of the Andes
Mountains.
1T didn't take long to discover
the smugglers had a system of
sending a man around to the
natives to collect the platinum
panned by each of them. Then
he would take it over the noun
tainS to Ecuador and it would go
out that way"
The agent learned that one
group of slnugglers was using a
Spaniard, trduck driver, as a
courier. He sent word to the
Spaniard that he wanted to see
him.

when the man came in. I
laid it on the table" the agent
said. Il told him a new Govern
ment decree called for the i'm
prisonment or deportation of any
alien found smuggling platinum.
He was an alien, and there was
a good chance that he not only
would be deported-but he would
lose his home and his truck and
everything else he owned.
Il told him, You can take
your choice-you play on our
team or else He worked with us
and continued his work as a
courier. Through him we pre-
vented another ring from going

In tracing the platinum from
its source to the ultimate user,
SIS agents from 1912 to July l E.
1914. were able to account for
jail but 2,507 troy ounces of the
metal and presumably that
lamount could have reached Ger
many. But the German war
machine in that same period
needed 137,50O troy ounces Of
platinum according to official
Estimates. Thus the Nazis were
liable to get less than 2 per cent
of their platinum needs through
the barriers set up by the Co.
Ilombian government based upon
information furnished by the
SIS.

Colombian Prize
Only five nations in the world
produce platinum in quantity
Colombia, Canada, Russia, the
United States and the Union of
South Africa. The German war
machine needed platinum badly.
and the Nazis reached out to Co.
lombia to get it because Colom-
bia was the only one of the plat
num-producing countries not at
war with the Reich in 1912.
About 22,850 troy ounces of
Colombia's annual platinum pro-
duction came from the big
dredges of the Choco Pacif1co Co.
and another 1880 ounces from
some 10000 natives who panned
it from streams much like the
Klondike miners panned their
gold.
The United States, by agree
ment with the Colombian gov
eminent, was supposed to receive
all the country's platinum
whether it came from the Choco
Pacifico Co. or from the natives.
Price Jumps
There was no difficulty about
the company's production be-
cause it automatically went to
the Governments collection
agency. but controlling the ma
tive production was the key to
blocking the flow of platinum to
the Germans.
And the natives in the back
country was usually willing to
sell to the highest bidder. The |
price of platinum jumped to
S2,338.10 a pound in the black
market in August, 1942-almost
four times the official price.

SECURITY FOR YOU
Simplicity Of Number
Bellies It's Importance

ably you've noticed that it has
mine figures which are broken
by dashes into three parts like
this: 482-i6-l077.
The first part, called the
area number. is always three
figures. The second part, known
as the group number, is two
figures. The third part, called
the serial" number, has four
digits.
! The AREA" number indicates
the State in which you first filed
your application for a social Sc
Icurity number. The area num-
bers are assigned by the social
security headquarters to the va
rious States so that no local
Office will be giving anyone the
same number.
Varies With Population
In the sparsely populated
States only a few area numbers
have been assigned. In the more
densely populated States only q
few area numbers have been
assigned. In the more densely
populated States many area
numbers are assigned.
New Mexico, for example, has,

to go into the service. Before I

; Mathilda is the one I think 1
like best, but she is two years
! older than I am. She's very pretty
and We have wonderful times
together, but I think maybe she
is too old for me. She always

Grace is II and she's very nice
too. She looks up to me and will
do anything I tell her, but she's
not as pretty or as much fun to
go out with as Matilda.
I have to decide in a hurry be-
cause both girls say they are
sick of waiting around for me
to make up my mind.
Mrs. II. K.-My husband and
I feel Gerald would be better
off marrying Mathilda because
she is more mature and will
have a steadying influence on
him. She also has good jot
and will be able to build UP
/ some savings while Gerald is in
the service.
We tell Gerald that the age
difference seems like a big one
but as he gets older it won't
matter. Grace is still a school
