Woman's Pledge to Ban Platinum in All Jewelry
National Movement Will Conform Engagement Rings To War Necessity
A pledge for the conservation of platinum in form of engagement rings, wedding rings and other jewelry, sent out by the Women's National League for the Conservation of Platinum, has been received by Mrs. Eustace Brown, Advisor of women.
The pledge has been prepared at the suggestion of a Vassar professor of chemistry, for all college and university women. It has been adapted from the D. A. A. R. pledge of 1917. The main purpose of the pledge is to urge the conservation of platinum so that chemical research may continue during the war and after its close. Students wishing to sign the pledge should see Mrs. Brown.
The pledge is:
For the duration of the war I will neither purchase nor accept as gifts jewelry and other articles made in whole or in part of platinum so that all possible supplies of this precious metal shall be available for employment where they can do the greatest good in the service of our country, and I further pledge my influence to persuade others to take the same patriotic stand.

TRAINED MEN ARE WORKING
Mr. Kellogg also told of his work at Washington, and of the willingness with which learned men from every college and university in America were volunteering for war work there.
"Conealed behind the modest title of 'major,'" he said, "is the name of a man who is head of the best medical college in this country; and he is only one of our foremost scholars who are giving their services to the country. In every bureau, in every department, the college men are coming forward to the places where exact and scientific knowledge is required; and they are meeting the situation in a manner that compels respect both for their academic training and for their patriotism
"I am glad to see, on the waistcoats of some of the most influential men in Washington, the Phi Beta Kappa key—an evidence that the key of learning is also the key of achievement. The collegian is meeting the emergency, and is doing it in a way that reflects credit upon him, and the traditions of which he is a part."

Why We Say to Pay a Little More
