COLOMBIAN PLATINUM
CONTROLLED BY
NEW YORK FIRM
WASHINGTON Nov. 13. — An
American firm—Adolf Lewisohn and
Son of 61 Broadway, New York, has
the valuable concession—an absolute
monopoly—of mining Colombian plat
inum.
Platinum—a war metal more cost
ly than gold, is today selling for
sllO an ounce, the Council of Na
tional Defense states, although the
government is filling all its needs
at $656 an ounce.
Before the war platinum was worth
only S4O an ounce. Stopping the
Russian supply to America—before
America entered the war, and the
urgent demand for platinnm for
making sparkers in spark plugs,
bHoosted the price.
Today, prospectors are - scouring
the far corners of the world for plat
inum deposits. The rich placer plat
inum deposits in the San Juan and
Condote rivers in Colombia are be
‘ng drawn on heavily to fill the need.
While there is no national shortage
‘n America for war platinum, the
Council of National Defense has cau
tioned against lavish use of the prec
ous metal for making watch or cig
arette cases.
Its use in smaller, and more in
‘ricately wrought jewelry is permit
ted however,
AMERICAN PHYSICIANS TREAT
FRENCH VILLAGERS
By J. W. Pegler
{United Press Staff Correspondent.)
WITH THE AMERICAN EXPE
JITIONARY ARMY, I'rance, Oct.
J7. (By Mail.) ——American doctors
his winter will try to clean up the
ivilian population of the American
.one. Their success in the job de
endg largely upon the tactful hand
ing of a delicate situation.
During three years of war the civ
lian doctors of most of France have
een with the armies. In their ab
ence from the civil districts many
ases of disease have run either un
hecked or with inadequate attention.
\ilments have spread to many vic
ims who in ordinary times would
wt have contracted them.
With American troops moving into
hese dozens of tiny, isolated farm
ng towns it became necessary to
lean up the civilian population as
\ protection for our troops. In pur
uance of the program decided upon,
wr detors have opened dispensaries
/here civilians are given free treat
nent for whatever ails them.
If the French villagers were to
think themselves the objects of char
ty or of a mechanical clean-up cam
aign, scores of ufferers would nev
r apply for atment. It is -by
ietful inquiry w.mong the population
hat our people expect to find out
‘ho is suffering and by diplomatic
handling of the situation they hope
o encourage the people to come
around and apply for treatment.

WILD ANIMALS DESTROY
LIVESTOCK IN WEST
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Nov. 12
Members of the New Mexico Cattle
nd Horse Growers’ association have
ppealed to the secretary of agricul
ture for immediate expenditure of
100,000 of federal funds in the state,
n an effort to combat the ravages
ipon stock by predatory animals, Es
imates based upon the tax rolls
jlace the number of head of live
stock destroyed by mountain lions,
volves and coyotes as follows, dur
‘ng the past year: Cattle, 24,350, val
ed at $1,374,000; sheep 165,000, sl,-
20,000; horses, 850, $21,250.
It is conservatively estimated that
8,000,000 pounds of edible meat is
lastroyed annually by wild animals,
:nd in view of the necessity for con
sorvation of every ounce of meat for
var rations, it is believed federal
withorities will heed the request for
federal assistance in combatting the
menace to the livestock industry.
