PLATINUM IS NEEDED EDA
MAKING DF EXPLOSIVES
’ Platinum is needed in war indus
tries and should not In* lied in jew
elry. In fact, tht* war can not
won without platinum. If i- equally
essential in times of p*-a< e if our
country is to cm « 1 Herman} m the
development of chemical -• •:« m and
industry.- is the statement of l»r
Hilaries I. Parsons, chici chemist, bu
reuu ot mines, department ol tin* in
terior.
"With tin* aid of platinum from one
ordinal} welding ring about leu
pounds of nitric ncfde can he made
every twenty four hours This 100
pounds of nitric acid converted into
high explosives will send a number
of three-inch shells against the Her
mans and help to bring the boys back
home.
"Platinum rings, platinum pins,
platinum cigarette cases and platinum
mesh hags are not factors in winning
this war explosives are.
"1 wonder if the purchasers and
wearers of platinum jewelry know
that explosives can not he manufac
tured without the tise of sulphuric and
nitric acids; that the manufacture of
these acids requires ample supplies of
platinum; that airplanes must have
platinum for certain important in
struments they need; that platinum is
absolutely necessary in the manufac
ture of special pyrometers; that prom
eters are necessary in all steel treat
meats, and that no guns can be made
without the use of pyrometers
"The fact that there is a shortage
of supply is beyond question Russia
has a corner on the world’s supply of
platinum, and Hermany now has Rus
sin Our domestic production of plat
inum is negligible, while our military
requirements are increasing at a rate
that no one can foresee."
