How about swimming pool for
Honesdale? We have all the facili-
ties here, pure water and plenty of
| it. Everybody is in favor of a pub
lie bathing place. A review of the
daily press impresses upon the mind
of all that every boy and girl
should learn to swim. Then there
would be less accidental drownings.

agreed to have the injunction made
permanent. Burgess Neuberger
claims that the Council endeavored

and removed to that borough, where
he has assumed popularity and prom
inence. He is a frequent visitor to
Scranton and is always assured a
cordial welcome ito this city. He is of
an extremely social disposition and
that is one of the reasons why he

practice at the Wayne county capi-

| "A notable increase in the use of
aluminium during the past year in the
| United States, due to the many new
uses to which the metal is put, is
stimulating private corporations to
expend large sums of money in de-
veloping bauXite ore mines in New
| York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, North
| Carolina, Tennessee and other states,
according to a report made recently
by the United States geological sur
vey. More than 65,000,000 pounds
of aluminium were consumed during
1912 as compared with 46,125,00O
pounds consumed during the year
1911. The domestic development of
bauXite ore, from which aluminium is
derived, during 1912, was valued at
| S7S6,932, as compared with much
| smaller amount curing the preceding
year, but even this increase failed to
satisfy the demand and left a great
margin for imported bauxite and al
uminums. The imports of the ore
and the finished metal were record
| breaking during 1912.
