PRODUCTION OF ALUMINIUM
 IN 1921

The value of the aluminium produc- ed in the United States in 1921 was $10,906,000, as compared with $41,- 375,00O in 1920, according to the United States Geological Survey, De- partment of the Interior. This great decrease was due not only to a de- crease in the price of the metal but to the large curtailment of it's use in the automobile industries. The price quoted was steady at 28 cents a pound from January until the middle of July, when it was cut to 24.5 and to 25 cents, remaining so until the first of December, when it was cut to 20 cents. Imported aluminium could be bought throughout the year at 2 to 8 cents below the prices quoted for do- mestic metal of the same grade.
 The imports of semi-manufactured aluninumin 1921 were 32,665,300

Tucson, which was the Mecca of the democracy of Arizona this week, is really a splendid little city, but it lacks a quickening that would give it proper energy and vision. The best hotel in the town is run on the manana plan. If a guest wishes to go to his or her room on the floors above they will find the cage tender taking his siesta, no matter what the hour of day or night it may be, and it is found pre- ferable to climb the stairs or take the dump waiter to awaiting the return of the elevator boy.
 The same though is true of the wait CTS in the restaurants. You order to- day and get your meal tomorrow. There must be some injection of high life into these places if the town would progress.
