trees in the concrete pits, one Of the
most elaborate pieces of work in tree
growing ever undertaken in the Uni

Grantham has been carrying on foi

|SRAEL|TES ARE SAFE,

Statement Made Denying Charge
That Violence Has Been Used

A statement has been given out at
the Turkish embassy declaring that the
Jews in Palestine are being fully pro-
tected and attacking misleading ac-
counts from a certain hostile press
which place the situation of the He
brews in Palestine in an erroneous
light
The statement says that two London
newspapers have charged that the
Turkish populace has indulged in vio-
lent acts against the persons and prop

The Turkish embassy says in it's state

PRODUCTION OF BAUXITE
is GROWING INDUSTRY
Mineral Found in Four States VAL
liable in Manufacture of Me-
tallic Aluminium.

Despite the fact that the general pub
lie doesn't know what bauxite is, the
production of this mineral last year
was the largest in the history of the
country, the geological survey reports.
and was valued at s1.O63,194, against
$997 69S\ the year previous.
BauxiteA is used in the production of
metallic aluminium. The consumption of
aluminium is constantly expanding, and
aside from its use in the manufacture of
cooking utensils. it is being employed
in the construction of automobile castings
and of welded tanks used by brewers,
preserve manufacturers and fat renderers
and for wire for power-transmission lines.
Other uses which are important in their
adaptability and efficiency, but which alb
sorb only small portion of the domestic
product are the manufacture Of powdered
metal used as a paint pigment and in
making aluminium foil. Aluminium foil is
gradually displacing tin foil, which here
tofore has been used for wrapping cheese,
candies. tobacco. tea, and other products.
+ Produced in Four States.
The states which produced bauxite in
1914 were Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia
and Tennessee. Arkansas produced more
than so per cent of the output, owing
to the extensive operations of the Ameri-
can Bauxite Company in Saline county,
and the output was larger in 1914 than
in 1913. The production of Georgia, which
held second place in both years. and of
Alabama and Tennessee was considerably
less in 1914 than 1t was in 1913. The i'm
ports of bauxite amounted to 24,S44 long
tons valued at $4,000, or 1888 tons more
than in 1913.
Bauxite is also used in the manufac-
ture of aluminium Salts of bauxite bricks
and Of alundum. The use of bauxite in
the production of the metal aluminium is
by far the most important one, and the
largest part of the bauxite produced in
Arkansas, as well as most of that inn
ported is Used in the aluminium industry
