CHEAPER ALUMINIUM
SAVING WORLDS IRON
White Metal Has Dropped From a
Dollar an Ounce to Twenty
Five Cents q Pound

From cooking utensils to motor
cars, use of aluminium is increasing
marvellously, and in many instances
Is empfoSed where iron was formerly
suprenfes THIS appears from the last
annual Statistical Abstract of the
United States. which gives the pro.
!ductioh, hi this country in 1910 as
47,734,O00 pounds, valued at $685.
700. This is a gain of thirty-eight
per cent over the year previous, when
S4,210,000 pounds were consumed
seven per cent since five years earlier
or 1908. when consumption was only
11,347, 900 pounds.
Metal Will Displace Iron
Constant reduction In the cost OF
aluminium is making it possible for
this metal to displace iron, thus pre-
serving the already too rapidly dis
appearing supplies of the latter metal
Fortunately, aluminium oxides are the
commoneNt of all earths. and the sup
ply of the metal is practically unlim-
tied when cheap process Of extrac-
ton is discovered. Commercial pro-
duction of aluminium was first under
taken in this country in 1855. IT sold
then for $50 a pound. Within a
generation it cost dollar an ounce

twenty-five cents pound.
Big Plant at Niagara
Reduction in the price of aluminium
has been obtained through location OF
the chief aluminium plant In the
United States at Niagara Falls. The
aluminium industry is one of several
requiring larger power that have late
fy taken advantage of cheap electri-
cal energy produced from the cata-
ract to lower the cost of manufacture
and thus the cost of living for the
entire country.

FATHER OF TWINS AT 80
Regulates Sex to Secure Son, But Also
Brings Forth Girl

NEW YORK.-Dr. David Allyn
Gorton, at the age of so. is the proud
father of twins. the only half-expected
result of a novel and absorbing ex-
pertinent in eugenics. The expert
ment avowedly is deliberate testing
of a philosophers theories for the i'm
provement of the human race. These
babies are as perfectly formed and
healthy as any two babies could be,
and each weighed exactly six and one
half pounds when they arrived on
April 25th at-the Gorton apartment at
632 Eleventh street. Brooklyn.
DR.. Gorton's medical theory is that
the sex of the offspring can be de-
termined at the will of the parents.
He set about to bring into the world
a son-and a son there is. But the
doctors theory didn't cover the num-
bers, and. to his surprise and pleas
ure, there arrived sister twin. Mrs.
Gorton is middle-aged.

WHITE STAR SCORED
IN TITANIC REPORT
Sweeping Arrangement Of Oficers,
British Board and lsmay
Expected

WASHINGTON. May 24.-The SEN
ate committee on commerce consld-
cred today the report of the Titanic
disaster, which the committee Will
submit to the senate next Tuesday. II
will be a sweeping arrangement, 1t Is
/ understood, of the conduct of the Of
ficers, especially Captain Smith, under
whom the great vessel swept along
through the iceberg area to her doom,
with immense loss of life. The re-
/ port was framed largely by Senator
/ William Alden Smith, of Michigan,
the chairman Of the subcommittee
that conducted the investigation.
The report, it is said, will severely
criticise Captain Smith as mainly re-
sponsible for the disaster, because OF
failure to heed the warnings OF other
vessels; the British Board of Trade,
for lax inspection; ]. Bruce 1smay,
+, who was a passenger, and will point
to the lack of discipline In the time
of danger. Captain Lord, of the Cal
ifornia, will figure in the responsibility
because of failure to take necessary
steps when near the Titanic, whose
rocket signals of distress were seer
aboard the Californian.
Congress will be asked to reward
Captain Rostron, of the rescue ship
Csrpathta.
Legislation will be pressed as the
result of the conclusions announced
in the report. A general bill is being
drafted by Senator Smith, which, with
other measures already framed in the
senate and house, will be considered
hy the commerce committee and re.
duced to concrete legislation to meet
the lessons drawn from the Titanic
disaster.
The report will criticise the lack oil
drills and tests aboard the Titanic, the
24% -miles-an- hour speed at the time
of the accident; the failure of the
company to provide the Titanic with
glasses for the lookouts and with
searchlights; the failure to give gen.
eral warning to the passengers after
the vessel had struck an iceburg with
an impact estimated at the combined
force of the broadside of score of the
largest guns used by the navy, anG
the White Star Line company for it:
course as to giving out information
on Monday of the disaster.
With some modification, in view Of
the excitement, it will criticise the in.
difference of some of those aboard the
| lifeboats toward those struggling in the
water in view of the fact that the evi.
dence showed that the lifeboats, which
could have taken care of 1176 people
only carried 704. The report vii
advocate more lifeboats more exten.
sive wireless apparatus and Other
equipment.
The committee will urge definite in
ternational understanding looking t.
greater safety at sea.
Two set speeches on the disaster
will follow the presentation of the
report next Tuesday. Senator Smith
will make speech on the subjec
and Senator Raynor of Maryland will
discuss 1.-The lessons taught congress!
and the people by the Titanic dis
aster.'

HOMESTEADERS GIVEN
INTERESTING OPINION
May Decide to Take His Land I'm
der a Three-Year or a Five
Year Plan of Proving Up

WASHINGTON, May "a - The
three-year homestead bill as agreed
upon in conference Thursday contains
the amendment of Secretary Fisher
requiring one -siXteenth cultivation the
second wear and one-eighth the third
year, exactly as in the agreement of
three weeks ago.
The bill. however, gives to the
HON esteader the right to elect
whether he shall prove up under the
three-year law or under the old law,
which allows five years and requires
much less development.
The cultivation amendment in
serted in the agreement is one of the
proposed provisions which have been
opposed persistently by Senator Bordh
and Representative La Toilette.
