STRIKE RATHER THAN
 BARREL OIL SHIPMENTS
 THAT MIGHT HELP FOES
sALONIKI,

Marseilles. Oct s-coopers employ ed at a large establishment here. have gone on strike against the ship nent of abnormal quantities of oils to Switzerland, saying they refuse to be accompfiees in what they term a traf- fic with a nation at war with France. Statistics show that exports of vege- table ofltto Switzerland from Marseil- les have increased 34 per cent. and of edible vegetable fats 131 percent since the beginning of the war.
 Vast quantities of machine oil also are shipped from America to Switzer- land through Marsef1les.
 The traffic assumed such propor- tions that 1t was drawn to the atten- ton of Finance Minister Ribot who is considering means of stopping what he believes 9 source of supply for Ger many. The cooperss strike, it is be- 1ieved here, will bring to head what threatens to develop into an ugly scandal.

UNCLAIMED PRISONERS
 PLIGHT INTERPRETERS IN
 COURTPROCEEDTNGS

In the city court this morning, pro- ceedings were held up fully 10 minutes
 before the officials of the court could
 find out who was the policeman that
 arrested John Dooley, no address, on the charge of drunkenness yesterday afternoon.
 It was at first believed that the ar rest had been made by Policeman Harry Howell. Upon. closely scrutiniz- ing the features of 0ooley, Policeman Howell denied any knowledge of hay ing seen Dooley before.
 Policeman Denis Kehoe then took the stand, saying that he thought he arrested Dooley. he was then asked prisoner. The policeman then asked Dooley if he had arrested him and Hooley replied with broad smile: ''I don't know
 By this time the court room was filled with interested Spectators who soon began to litter at the efforts of the court to find out who arrested Dooley. Ambulance Driver Aubrey Burlison was then put on the stand and he failed to identify Dooley as his Later, however, Burlison went to the prisoners pen and, notic- ing, a mark over Dooley's right eye, identified him as his man. He had been picked up by the ambulance corps afternoon on Water street in an intoxicated condition and Driver Burlison placed him under arrest.
 The court was somewhat vexed at the trouble Dooley's arrest caused. Judge Bartlett imposed a fine of s5 and costs upon the prisoner. Tn de- fault of payment DooIey was taken to the county jail

sTERs UP TROUBLE BY
 KILLING HUNTING DOG

A pointer dog valued at $500, the property of Edward R. Green. of 1843 North avenue, was shot yesterday af- ternoon near the. farmhouse of Peter Aldo, on upper Madison road. The shots were fired by occupants of the Aldo homestead. They alleged that the dog was suffering from rabies.
 The dog was a. valuable animal and was proficient in starting partridge. It was off for a hunting expedition when the affair took place.
 The case has been reported to the local police and Humane Agent Alex ander Howell has been assigned to in ,vestigate. The head of the animal has been taken to the veterinary hos pita1 of pr. Martin at Elm and Broad streets for examination. The owner of the dog insists that the animal did not bear the slightest semblance of rabies. He threatens civil action. The dog was prized highly

ALUMINIUM THE MOST
 ABUNDANT METAL

Aluminium is the most abundant of all the metals. Tn the form of it's ovide.. a1umina, itsconst1tutes about Is per cent. of the earth's crust accord ing to the United States Geological Survey. Yet until recent years it was a curiosity; there were only a few hundred or few thousand pounds in existences and its value was $14 or $15 a pound. Within a genera ton it has become very useful, now selling at about 20 cents pound The entry of aluminium into the field of useful metals came with the discoy- cry that it could be extracted from the mineral bauxite, a claylike sub stance. This mineral itself is fby no means plentiful, but known deposits are sufficient to make aluminium an important competitor of certain met sals. such as copper and tins in good many lines of work.
 AlS<ady aluminium has displaced steel in certain classes of construe- tion where strength is required in combination with extreme Iightn ess such as in the manufacture of flying machines. An alloy known as du- ralumin, containing about 95 per cent. of aluminium, is claimed to have qualities as good as those of good Bessemer~ steel, although it is only one-third as heavy. This alloy pos sesses great hardness. whe en annea1ed and it's melting point is above 1,2O0o F. The great future of aluminium lies in the perfection of a process whereby it can be comm ercially ex- tracted from the unlimited deposits of aIumina-rich clays and rocks, which exist in all parts of the cvoT Id. .a!97he g day which shall yield really cheap aluminium holds out boundless. possi- bi1ities. The chemist or investigator who can devise the needed process of extraction will not be forgotten by succeeding generations.
