These babies are inaugurating the

Aluminium From Clay.

Though new bauxite deposits are
being found from time to time, there
is considerable interest In the pre-
paration of pure alumina from clay or
other silicate minerals. AS soon as a
process for the extraction of alumina
from clay is put on a commercial
basis, large quantities of low grade
bauxite containing considerable ad-
mixtures of clay will become available
as aluminium producers. According to
the United States geological survey
there is large tonnage of such mater
ial associated with most of the south
ern Appalachian bauxite. \
