For instanco, here is a statement from the Women's National League for the Conservation of Platinum, in which the women of j the country are notified to prepare for a federal order commandeering rings, tiaras, bracelets, meshbags and other articles of jewelry which have platinum plati-num in them. "As our normal consumption of platinum plat-inum per annum is 165,000 ounces of fine metal," writes Mrs. ETlwood B. Speak of Cambridge, Mass., "and we have in sight for our war program 21,-' 21,-' 000 ounces of crude metal, I think it possible that later the government , will have to call for tiaras, meshbags, j bracelets, etc. If so, this league will do everything it can to help.-" Women college executives, professors profes-sors of science and wives of scientists i form the majority of the membership of the council of the organization, which was organized to inform women of the platinum shortage and the need of this metal to carry on tho war.
