Lead and Zinc Expected
To Hold High Levels
Bpeclal Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26—Consump
tion of the non-ferrous metals, lead
and zinc, has shown very pro
nounced advances in recent months
and gives promise of remaining at
high levels for some time to come,
according to the Financial World.
Lead shipments set a new post
depression peak in October and
probably rose still further in Novem
ber, while deliveries of zinc in each
of the last three months have been
the largest since these figures were
first compiled in 1920, the magazine
points out in its forthcoming De
cember 27 issue.
“Since production has not been
increased correspondingly," contin
ues the publication, “stocks have
been sharply reduced and now
amount to less than a full month’s
requirements. There is a possibility
that the reduction in the tariff on
zinc last year may find further re
flection in higher imports should
demand outside the United States
undergo any slackening, but to date
imports have not been a serious
problem.
“It is merely necessary to enumer
ate the principal outlets for these
two metals to demonstrate the fact
that their consumption prospects are
excellent,” concludes the article.
“Lead finds its largest use in storage
batteries, with paint ranking second
and cable covering still holding third
place. The metal is also used ex
tensively in the building industry
and in the making of ammunition.
The principal uses of zinc are in
galvanizing and brass making. All
these customers are expected to
maintain their requirements at high
levels.”
Failures Total Down
NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (^.—Busi
ness failures in the United States
totaled 200 during the week ended
December 21, Dun & Bradstreet re
ported today. This compares with
203 in the previous week and 229 in
the comparable 1938 period.
Desert Plants Useful
The ancient Indians of Arizona
utilized desert plants for many pur
poses. From the agave, or mescal
plant, alone they obtained food,
drink medicine, soap, wood fiber and
needles.
$60,000,000 Offering

Children Saw Hanging
When the first legal hanging in
Ariona was held at Yuma in 1873,
school was dismissed for a week, so
children would not see the execution
on a gallows across the street. The
entire population, including the chil
dren, turned out for the hanging.
