Price Of Aluminium
Greatly Reduced.

Greatly Reduced. sidee able for m hun- hum
dreds of everyday uses the scientists
of this country played a splendid part.
Aluminium was discovered in Germany
in 1928, by Wohler. In 1855 1t still cost
$50 pound. In 1886 it had been re-
duced to $12. Then the American.
Castner, devised a process which
brought the price down to 81 a pound.
in 1899. But the metal was still
luxury, with few industrial applica-
tions. Then Hall, in America, and
Heroult. in Europe, simultaneously dis
covered a way of dissolving aluminium
out of its ores and precipitating 1t by
electricity. It was then that the great
reduction company at Niagara Falls
was formed and the real production of
aluminium began. In 1911 100000
pounds Of aluminium were produced and
the market price was 20 cents a pound.
Another striking triumph of scierfce
applied to industry in this country was
the achievement by means of which
Frasch made the United States one of

are great deposits of sulphur lying
1000 feet below the surface and COW
cred by a layer of quicksand 500 feet

more ingeniously defended from the
Austrian company and several Ameri-
can companies had tried various In
genious ways of getting at these sui
phur deposits, and all had ended in
failure, If not in disaster. Then Frasch
conceived the idea of melting the sui
phur where 1t lay and pumping it to
the surface. He forced superheated
water through a pipe to the sulphur
| beds and brought the melted sulphur
Twenty boilers of 150 horsepower each
were used in the initial experiment and
it was a success. One of these wells
alone was recently producing $50 tons
of sulphur day.

say regarding trade onditions:
In spite Of the rapidly Of the
movement, there is no slackening of
the advance that foreshadows the
greatest commercial development In
the history Of the country. Follow
ing many months Of gradual recoy-
cry and adjustment to new cond itions
progress has come with such rush
that reaction is feared in some quar-
tiers; yet the economic position stead

continued expansion. Business Is no
longer wholly dependent upon the
war demands, the bumper crops. the
widespread increase in production, in
the working force and in the power
OF the people to purchase, having es-
tablished the basis for an era OF UNI
exampled prosperity. There Is,
moreover, the furth ers and highly sig
ntticant influence Of abundant sup
plies OF money for all legit pur-
poses, while the arrangement for

array Of stimulating factors is clear
" reflected In the statistical gauges
that always tell which way the cur

as the figures Of merchandise exports,
pig iron output, bank clearings and
railroad earnings. bring to light
achievements without precedent, and
to the list Of remarkable attachments
have been ado ed those Of untitled ton
mage and commodity prices. The In
dex number Of the latter, as COM
piled by Dun's Review, has reached
the highest level in several decades,
while the principal iron and steel in
terest gained more business in Octo-
Der than in any previous month in
its history, with two exceptions. It
would be Illogical, however, to as
sumo that the general commercial sit
.uation is entirely devoid OF irregular
features. Reports from every section
are exceptionally Unanimous in dis
closing improvement-.the circle of
widening activity having extended to
all branches Of enterprise in all parts
of the country-yet progress Is still
much more rapid In some directions
than In others. AS is to be desired,
since It furnishes the motive power
to the wheels Of progress everywhere.
the advance is most pronounced in
manufacturing; but IL the retail de-
yelopment seems relatively slow 1t is
only because of the continued handi-
cap Of the weather. Temperatures
have been too high for the best re-
suits In this quarter. yet the gain is
more substantial than might be ex-
pected under the circumstances, In
asmuch as consumers, as well as
dealers, find replenis emit necessary
after a protracted period OF forced
economy. Moreover, though the 3ele-
ments have initiated against full
retail distribution, the weather has
favored the maturity of the crops and
proved a distinct boon to outdoor
work, as Is evidenced by the large
increase In the value of building per-
mits. issued at leading centers.

Tribute to Miss Mary Taft.

Miss Mary Taft, Sc, who died in
West Townshend Sunday, was life
long resident. of the town and well
known to most of the older residents
of this village. Her keen mind, Won
derful memory, and sterling qualities
made her a character long to be re-
membered. The younger generation de-
lighted in hearing the stories of her
younger days when living on the Taft
farm with her brother, Josiah Taft. She
was a tailoress by trade and made
many dresses for the village women,
long before paper patterns came into
general use, by the old method of hold
ing the material against the person to
be fitted and cutting from a living
model.
Although an unusually small framed
woman, her vigor and activity were
remarkable. She took an unusual in
terest in all affairs of the day, and had
f, an intense love for flowers and garden

TOWNSHEND.
Plan to Enlarge Town Hall Stage.


The three-act comedy drama, New
Hampshire Gold, which will be pre-
sented bv members of West River
Grange Tuesday evening, April 20, will
be the first regular drama to be staged
in the town hall by local talent.
Through what seems an oversight on
the part of the committee at the time
the hall was built several years ago,
the stage was not made suitable or
convenient for theatricals, solid par
titions at each side of the stage pre-
venting the placing of wings and the
stage being inadequate in other par
ticulars. The small stage in the Con-
gregational vestry has been used under
many handicaps. There has been talk
of charging the stage in the town
hall by building on in the rear, with
the permission of the selectmen. 1t
has been suggested that the Fourth
Of July celebration be taken up as q
village affair, the proceeds to be used
for this purpose.
Meanwhile, through the work of sew
eral interested, material has been or
dered to make temporary inside par
titions of plasterboard so that plays
not requiring too much scenery may be
presented. The selectmen have prom
ised $40, which will be used towards
a permanent inside roll curtain, which
probably will be in place before Tues
day night

pleased with the performances. The
play, based on John Fox ir. s novel
of the same name, adheres to the novel
for the most part, but the Tolliver-Fa-
lin feud is subdued and the love story
amplifed deftly by the dramatist, Flu,
gene Walters. The part of June, the
barefooted, primitive mountain girl
was taken with great acceptance by
Miss Dixie Compton, an attractive
girl of undoubted ability as an actress
Edwin Walter as John Hale, the civil
engineer who falls in love with June
and his companion, Bob Berkeley, taken
by Joseph Wallace, were well suited
to their parts Judd ToTliver, imper-
sonated by Mart J. Cody. and his
nephew, Dave Tolliver, Thomas V
Morrison, also in love with June, were
4 typical mountaineers and acted then
roles with good judgment. The scene
between June, Hale and Bob in the
third act was very appealing.
