Georgia $ Stake IN aluminium
and the Muscle Shoals Plan

A MONG many interesting enterprises
"A deemed probable if Henry Ford is
given charge at Muscle Shoals, is
the extensive production Of aluminium, the
raw materials of which abound in Georgia.
Alabama and Tennessee. Mr.. Ford has ex-
pressly stated his intention Of going in for
the manufacture of this widely useful metal
in the event his proposition to the Govern
ment is accepted. With the vast amount OF
hydroelectric power which development OF
the Shoals will make available and with
the rich variety of uses to which inventive
and administrative genius will turn 1t, new
kingdoms of industrial progress will open
for this region. Not only will nitrates, so es-
sential to Southern agriculture, be produced
in plenty and be sold more cheaply than
ever before but also there will accompany
or follow the Ford investment divers other
projects of large consequence.
The manufacture of aluminium is partic-
ularly worth noting inasmuch as large de-
posts of bauxite, its chief raw material, are
found in the Southeast and because, more
over, improved processes of extracting and
using it's ores may be expected to increase
the demand for them. Touching the future
Of this industry, the widely known geological
and Industrial engineer, DR.. T. Poole May
nard, of Atlanta, writes in the CHEMICAL
AGE: Constituting, as it does, the most
abundant metallic element, aluminium has a
future limited only by its price, which in
turn is determined by ease of the recovery
Of its ores from the earth and the efficiency
Of processes to separate it from it's COM
pounds. The natural commercial compound
or ore is the mineral bauXite. With the per-
lection of processes for the concentration or
the alumina-content Of low-grade bauxites,
an almost unlimited tonnage Of cOncen-
trates high in alumina and low in silica is
made available, whereby will be eliminated
the most powerful integrative force in the
industry and competition encouraged
Outside of Arkansas the more important
deposits of commercial bauxite are in Geor-
gia, Alabama and Tennessee. In Georgia, at
least four large mining companies are al
ready in the field, besides several smaller
concerns. 1.-THE perfection of processes for
the concentration of the alumina content of
low-grade bauxites is of great economic in
fluence,'' says Dr.. Maynard, Gin the en-
hancement of the value of bauxite deposits
heretofore not considered of commercial i'm
portance'' because of their relatively low
alumina-content. Another authority has said
that Sin the variety of it's uses and the i'm
portance of it's functions, aluminium is ex-
ceeded probably by only iron and copper"
AS factor in the future exploitation of this
metal and its ores, the decision on the de-
velopment of Muscle Shoals is awaited with
keen concern. There is a general and we'll
warranted belief that if the task is entrust-
ed to Henry Ford speedy and splendid re-
suits will ensue.

BLIND MATHEMATICIAN
CHALLENGES MR.. BOSTWICK
ON 53SUNDAY QUESTION

first day of all the centuries from Christ to
the present, and for two thousand years
hence, and not more than two minutes is
required to give an answer to any date as
to the day of the week it occurred.
''The year Christ, the 25th of December,
was Saturday supposed to be by
many as the Jewish Sabbeth. Benjamin
Franklin was born January II, 1905, on
Thursday. Our great George Washington
was born February %, 1882. on Tuesday.
Wednesday, The first general assembly that
ever met in Georgia was January Is. 1851,
on a Tuesday. Many other dates could be
mentioned the same, if wanted.
IF any calendar, Mr.. Bostwick's or any
other, does not show these dates as I have
stated, they are not reliable, and can sub
stantiate this assertion.
LAS to February having five Sunday S
from the Julian period up to the present,
there are seventy (70), not one more or less.
They occur every % years, beginning 2S
wears B. C. and in the year-of Christ and so
on till the year 1886. Owing to the new
style timetable, 1852, having only 355
days in that year, which caused onlysa twen-
ty-year interval beginning again in 1855.
1884, being no leap year at the end OF the
Eighteenth century, caused forty-year IN
terval beginning again in 1924. 1882,
1880, another forty-year skip, caused as be-
fore again in 1920, every other 20 years
until the ending of the Twenty-f1rst century.
then will be another forty-year interval, and
repeats in the@same order every four hun
dred years until the ending Of the Fortieth
century. Then new system enters.
"The ending of the present century will
end with February having five Tuesdays
Until a century ends with i've Mondays
won't be until the ending of the Forty
fourth century. Until Sunday is reached in
same like manner, it will be at the ending
of the 8Oth century and on and on till all
days of the week are reacheds Until Wed
nesday in same like manner will be at least
twenty thousand years. Timetable figures
will show this by person who knows how
to handle them, and I think I know.
eff anyone doubts what I say the way is
open for ISSUE

Mr.. Bruan as a Scientist

SSAYING the role or SclentlSC WIFI no
"A less alacrity than he so often has
qualified as a candidate, William
Jennings Bryan declares with utmost self
assurance that the earth is hardly more than
four thousand years old.
That should have settled the matter once
for all, according to the Bryanesque mode of
thought which has it's ready 1pse dixit on
every question in the heavens above and the
earth beneath and the waters under the
earth. But now comes DR.. Richard Lull, OF
Yale, who is reputed to know thing or two
about geology and the ancient rocks, main
tanning that the monster 'ecently rumored
to have been found in Patagonia has been
extinct, along with all its species, for at
least three million years. AS an interested
but puzzled looker-on, the Louisville Courier
Journal acknowledges it's inability to recon
cile the three million years of Dr. Lull with
the four thousand years of the Peerless one.
ITO an unprejudiced critic, it remarks,
"holding the scales of justice even, the dis
crepancy in these statistics constitutes more
than a distinction. 1t comes perilously near
being difference"
It is hardly to be hoped, however, that
the Yale geologist and the Miami orator Will
ever bridge their difference; for While the
one, having studied all available data upon
the subject, modestly reports that the earth
appears to be millions of years OF age, the
other, knowing nothing of the facts, can
give us, if not the precise date of Creation,
at least within year or so of that event
saw around 1000 B. c. In the latter part OF
the Eighteenth century there was most
learned discussion in London as to Whether
the first day of Creation fell on March the
twentv-first or on September the twenty
first. The question was never positively de-
cided. Would it not be we'll for Mr. Bryan
to devote his scientific talent to setting
that delicate and momentous issue!

''This answer is Interchangeable by anyone,
and this challenge is open to any person.
This system repeats every four hundred
years, but not always you would under
stand from Mr. Bostwicks ingenius calen-
dar. But that seems long enough, but goes
nine hundred years further than the extent
OF his calendar. &.
''Then< begins another system. How do
know these things? By timetable figures
and knowing how to handle them. There is
more can be said on this line. haven't been
aided by any table or calendar in preparing,
only mentally. But listen to me little
further I know by heart what day of the
week all first days of January are for two

and Twentieth centuries, and know where
they appear in each and every calendar

day of the week by being given the dates,
