worker as he was, could switch off his dynamic
energy at will and in a moment become absorbed
in his favorite author. Steinmetz, whose won
derful inventions have transformed electrical
engineering, finds the relaxation he needs in
smoking long, thin cigars.
There are a dozen simple ways of getting this
moment or two of rest in the
midst of work, that will en
able you to guard against
over-fatigue.
One simplt method o

example, that merely washing
the face and hands is re
freshing that is why many

ment and relief you can get from this simple act.

Sugar beets grown in Canada and

592.715. or 212.22 a ton. Canada had

Ontario has produced the bulb of

Soviet Plans To Pay
tor Imports In Platinum
Chicago. HI, Aug. 4. The soviet
government of Russia, according to
the cables, plans to pay for imports,
when trade relations am rnmri
with western nations, with platinum
from the Urrl mountain mines.
Before the war Russia produced 90
percent of the world's supply of plati
num. The mines were near Etatarln
burg. where the czar and his fimllu
were put to death. When revolution
ary chaos overwhelmed the country,
the mines closed down. At last ac
counts they had not been reopened.
The necessity for platinum In the
manufacture of high explosives sent
the price of platinum to $105 an
ounce during the war. The world
wide demand for the metal for use In
'ashionable Jewelry has kept It up.
he world's chief supply now comes
-nra Colombia, In South America.
Though Russian money is of no
alue under the bolshevik govern
ment, every nation in the world
would accept platinum In payment for
gaods shipped Into Russia. It la said
here (s enough platinum In the Ural
mines to pay Russia's enormous na-
onai debt.
