The needs of platinum in war In- dtrstries and iu the sciences aro ex¬ plained by Dr. Charles L. Parsons, Chief chemist, liureau of .Mines, De¬ partment of the Interior, In an argu- moiil fur• discontinuance of tho uso Of platinum in jewelry.
'¦'riie war can not bo won without platinum," says Dr. Parsons, and it Is equally essential in tmes of peace If our country is to excel Germany in the iliveliipiueiit of cliouiical science arid industry. With the aid of plat¬ inum from the ordinarj-wedding ring about 100 pounds of inlric acid cau be made every 12 4 hours. This luo pounds of nitric acid converted into high exiilosives will send a number of 3-iuch shells against the Germans and help to bring tho boys back liciue,
"Platinum rings, pins, cig-arotto cases, and mesh bags are not factors In winning ihis wur—explosives are. I wonder if the purchaser and wear¬ ers 01 platinum jewelry know that explstiives can not bo luanufactured without lho use of sulphuric and ni¬ tric acids that the manufacture of theso acids requires tho use of spp- pliis of platinum; thatairplanesmust have platiiuiiii-for important inslru- meius they need; lhal plalinuui is absolutely necessary iu the manuiac- turo of special pyrometers; are neces¬ sary iu all sleel trealmonts; and lhat no guns c;in bo made wilhoul the UBO of pyrometers.
"There is a shortage in the supply of jiiatiiium, Uussia has a corner otl Uie World's supply and Germany Is iu Uussia. Our domestic produc- tiuu of platinum it) negligible, our military reiiuirements aro incre.isiug at a rapid rate.

Washington,—Haseball Is a nonpro¬ ductive nnd nonessential Industry. Bnll players nre hit by tho "work-or- flght" order. They nnist shift Into es¬ sential Industries or lose such deferred classlflcatlons In tho draft as thoy have received througli depondeucloB knd other reasons.
Such wus the decision of Newton D. Haker, socretnry of war. In the appeal of Edward Alnsmlib, catcher of the Wnshlngton   tenm   of   the   American
League,
The decision Is regarded In bn.stibnll circles ns tantamount to the dlsbniidon- mont of organized baseball for the durntlon of the wnr. While mnny play¬ ers are I'oyond the draft age. It Is salil there nre not enoujdi to furnish the brnnd of bnseball thnt the major lengue patrons deninnd.
The Ainsmlth case went up to tho secretary on np[ieal from tho local bonrd In Division U of the District of Columbia, lie had boon,placod In CInsa 4 previous to the "work-or-flKht" or¬ der. The local bonrd ordered lilm to appear to show cnuse why he should not be reclnssUled and placed In CJnsa 1 beennso of the nature of his occupa¬ tion. Ills deferred classlflcatlon hnd been grailted because of tin? dependen¬ cy of his wife nnd child,
Ainsmlth nnd representatives of or- gnnl-zed baseball aiiiienred to present arguments agninst tho reclasslfli'ailon, but the board beld that the occupation of n basobnil pl:;,Mr li« nonproductive In the sense of tlu> t'ogulutlons nnd or^ dered thnt Aln-- I;h's deferred cla.sal- flcatlon bo rcvi 1 The cnso wns np-
pcaled to tho ¦ r!ct board for th« District of Colui- ia, which sufltaliied the local board, and was then appeal od to the Bccretnry r.f war.
The section of ili ' regulations beai^ Ing on the cnse of ball plnyors Is:
"Persons, ItfMudlng ushers and otbet nttendunts, enj-Uif^ed nnd occupied In nnd In connection with games, sporta nnd nmusemonfs," etc.
Tho secretary of wur snys:
"Obviously baseball players are per- son.s occupied In n sport, ao tlmt the ruling of the locnl and district board* must be sustained n.s plainly forroct."
Tho New York Giants will suffer least of any major leagues by tho en¬ forcement of the "work-or-flght" order. Only 11 men whose names are now on the roster nre wlilihi tho drait nso nnd thereforo are ftfTected by the ruling of Secretary Baker.
More than half of the bakers ot Northampton County met at Naza¬ reth, Tuesday to Ulk over the war problems of tho bread makers and to see what they could do to help each other and the Government, The Food A-'mimlstrntor atende 1 the meeting, as di ; also Fred C. Haller, Chief of the Baking Division of the Stato Food Administration. In the opening remarks Messrs. Williams and Haller cxjilained to the bakers that most of the Irregularities of tho bakers seemed to arise from lack of information about the rulings of the Government or negligoiue in seeing that their helpers observed tho rul¬ ings. It must be u-ndcrstood, they said that the Government could not now take e.vcuses. The war must be won, the necessary flour must bo sent abroad, and the bakers must do the best they can with the shortened supply allowed.
Mr. Haller said that bread is the produot that goes farthest toward niaking people realize that we are at war. While the war might end soon¬ er than expected, he said the Federal rulings on food were made on the basis of a 5-year war. He gave in¬ stances where tho bakers of different communities were of great assistance to each other in exchanging supplies, giving advice on everyday problems, etc. He told the bakers that while the government did not feel like di¬ ctating to the bakers what they should do with thoir 70 per cent, al¬ lowance of sugar, they ought to use as little icing as possible. Mr. Hal¬ ler asked all the bakers to sign the pledge cards, which a,ssuro the gov¬ ernment of their full cooperation and explained that those who did so ; would receive an Ilonuor Roll Certi- , ficate for display In their bakeries. Tho government, he said, would dis¬ tribute soon a valuable recelpe book of cakes that could be made wholly or largely of substitu'tes for wheat flour,
A  number  of tho  bakers  present set forth  tho unusual needs of their 'communities   on   account   of   abuor- I mally   Increased   population   or   the I fact that competitive bakers had cer¬ tain  kinds of prodtictian.     Adminis¬ trator Williams while not in a posi¬ tion to change tbe rulings asged  for partic'.ilars of all  such cases and  a- greed to .submit the facts to the high¬ er authorities.
John K. Schaibel, of Easton, des¬ cribed the position in which some bakers now found themselves with a '. largo amount of barley and rye flour on hand Vfter the Administration had changed Its rulings as to rye flour being a substitute. It was sug- ge.sted that, with some publicity, the people of Xorth.impton County might be induced to consume larger • amount-s of rye bread. .Some of the bakers aaid they were using aa much of rye flour as of wheat flour.
D. J. Randall, of Bethlehem, made a spirited addre.ss, saying he belie¬ ved the bakers could meet every problem and tbat they would flnd Ameriean house wives willing to ac¬ cept any sort of wholesome bread as long as It was "Victory Bread" and would help to w:n the war. He was U3ing considerable rye flour. "We are donng no Icing", ha added, the cakes wo make aro not so pretty but they are good and people take them. We sent out a wedding cake the oth¬ er day without icing, and one of our Iieopio sakl it wouldn't do. 'Yes it will' aaid I. I know it was a good cake Insde and I knew tho couplo realized we are at war and would take a war cako. The bridet^room came In later to pay me and said it was fine. This kind of meeting is a (ine thing. X while ago bakers see¬ med suspicious of each other and couldn't get together. N'ow two ba¬ kers can find something practical to talk about every time they meet.
A committee permanent organlza- fon was appointe 1, D. J. Randall, ' u'rman -U'. A. Scott of Bothlehem : .1 J. .\. Altenbach of Freemans¬ burg as the other members. R. F. Sellers, of Bethlehem, was appoint¬ ed Lieutenant to the Food .\dmini.s- trator on'behalf of tho bakers, with John E. Schaible, of Easton, Ludwig Godyckl. of South Bethlehem, J. J. Kemmerer, of Nazareth, and E. H. Steinmetz, of Bangor as assistant lieutenants. Monthlv meetings will probably be held.

Many tanks participated In tho at- tmk, having been able to take up their positions during the terrltic storm which prevailed. The Aniericnn troops, co-oriernting with their French com- rndes In the i^sault, did brilliant work.
Around Courchnmp, northwest of Chateau-Thlerrj', the Gernmn resist¬ ance w,Hs more obstinate than on any other part of the Pnrls liiu.-.
In this region the allU's captured 18 cannon, numerous maehlne guns nnd large numbers of prisoners who have not yet been counted.

The bnrnige flre preceded the waves of Infantry, but one of the heaviest storms of this yonr drowned the noise of the shells.

In the violent combat which ensued with seven Qerman ma- onlnos one American aviator stubborn¬ ly mnde repented attacks. This cul- minnied In a duel between him and a Oeminn non-coninilssloned offlcer, who, nfter a short flght, succeeded In get¬ ting good ftlm nt his brave but Inex¬ perienced opponent, whose machine fell after a few shots near the village of Chntnbry, ten kilometers north of the Marne.
"Uis pocket cnse showed Mm to be Lleutennnt Quentin Roosevelt of the aviation section of the United Stntes nnny.

Methods of thrift now enforced In the Army Quartermaster General's Offlce, including the repair of cloth¬ ing and shoes, ¦where possible, have cut down the issue of new clothing and shoes from 30 to 40 per cent la some instances.
The plants where the mending is done are run in connection wilh forts and caaips by the Camp Quarter¬ master. 'When a soldier tears or rips a garment he turns it in to his sup¬ ply ofllcer. When the soles of his shoes wear out or the heel runs down lho shoes go back to the same offl¬ cer. These garments and sohes are taken to the repair shops managed by the conservation and reclamation offlcer. W'hen repaired aud put in order they are returned to the orlgl- nnl owner if possible, aud it the ori¬ ginal owner can not he located they servo some other soldier.

To be strong for Victory the Na¬ tion musf le^t her children play," said Charles Fredeilik Waller, associate secretary of tho Playgrounds and Recreation jVssociat.'on of America. No time nor money can be spared from war-winning activities, but the winning of the war depends on man power, and man pow r cm not bo, sustained in any nation without heal¬ th and wholesomeness in tiie child ren. -
Far worse than exhausting Ameri¬ ca's flnanclal capital would he the exhaustion of child . lite which is man-power capital.
"England and France began as the United States has heen tempted to begin—by letting the children pav too heavily for the war in child la¬ bor, increasod delinquency, overtax¬ ed nerves, we;ikened bodies, and pre¬ mature deaths, but England and France ttrrn6<l to lift war burdens from the children by giving them a chance to play. There Is urg.n! need to give our boys and g rls an American square deal—.their safety I valve of play."
