Extracting Potash From, LdUd

In Italy. as in this country,
most Of the caustic soda used
is made by the electrolytic
process. Likewise, the market
for caustic soda has always
been able to absorb all OF the
production, while in the case
of chlorine, which Is evolved
simultaneously In the electro.
lytic caustic coda process, the
market has almost constantly
been too weak to take care Of
the large production OF this
material. The result has been
carried on with a view Of iocat.
ing new uses for chlorine. The
potash extraction process by the
aid OF synthetic hydrochloric
acid is a reflection OF this a..
tivity. The process is being
worked commercially and gives
a high grade Of potash. IN
addition, there 10 produced very
pure alumina, which finds 4

THE search for potash goes
- on in all countries. A new
method has been developed,
which is a commercial success,
It is claimed, Of extracting pot
ash from lava in Italy. The
large volcanoes in that country,
says the Scientific American,
furnish an apparently mex
haustible supply OF lava, which
contains a considerable per.
centage OF potash. IN some
cases as much as 20 per cent.
The only difficulty has been
to extract the potash from the
volcanic rock. From the very
nature OF the process a con.
siderable amount Of reagent Is
required. and II is essential to
the commercial success Of the
Same that this reagent be mex.

She orders her driver to knock them aside,

For what can she know of the men in the

IF that day comes, the first

And each woman, more

Ships Should

~ UR ships are carrying one

progress, for which the people
thank President Harding and his
assistant, Mr.. Lasker.
MORE WAR is written across
the sky in Europe. with the Eng
lish throwing up three lines of the
most scientific trenches near Con-
stantinople and the Turks on their
side digging in.
Whenever war comes; as you
learned the last time, our first
need is SHIPS. The last time,
when we tried to get them in a
hurry, we squandered hundreds Of
millions on excessive costs. And
a. the end sold for a trifle what
had cost hundreds of millions.
1t is even worse without flying
machines, for which we spent about
a billion, without getting anything
fit for work in Europe.
The Presidents effort to obtain
ship subsidy to develop the Amer
ican Navy, is work of the greatest
Importance and value to this ma
tion. 1t is more important than
any strike, any individual election,
any tariff or any other temporary
issue.
WITH ships this country is safe,
WITHOUT them it, is UNSAFE,
and entirely dependent upon the
nations that have ships.

Yacht Clubs
for the Air
THOSE German glider flights
have started something.

THOSE German glider flights
have started something.
i Rumor has it that sailplane
clubs for yachting in the air are
being organized in Great Britain,
Canada, Australia and the United
States.
Sites are being prospected-hilly
country ~over whose lakes and
woods and farming valleys the
winds of heaven blow. .- g.. ..
The outlook for newest of
sports is most enticing g:>>
Imagine motoring out on holi'
day to your sailplane club, near
Pompton lakes, we1l say. The
club house and hangers are perch
ed on the highest point of the re-
gion, five hundred feet and more
above the green valleys.
While you and your party lunch
on the spacious veranda, the me-
chanics wheel out your boat to the
launching dock on the brow Of the
slope. You go into. the club house
for a last look at weather reports,
wind charts and other meteorolog-
ical data, and lay your course.
You decide, let us say, to sail to-
ward the Boonton Club House,
twelve miles away, planning to tack
into the head winds and reach
there about tea time. After which
you can return with the wind, up
borne on vertical currents that RI
cochet from the choppy hills, in
plenty of time for dinner and the
evenings dance at your own club.
Presently the ingenious appara-
tus launches you silently from the
dock into the breezy sky and away
you soar in your snug yacht, with
your friends packed close about
you in the padded hull.
AS navigator you will have a
busy afternoon, getting every ounce
Of lift out of the variable winds,
rising, gliding, veering, tacking,
coming about into the eye of the
wind, and jibing like the seagull
whose graceful, outstretched form
your aerial yacht so much re-
Sembles.
Even though the wind falls and
you are "becalmed "a most un.
likely contingency-you will not
be forced to land. Like many sail
ing yachts, you carry a "kicker"
for just such an emergency. 1t is
not high-powered motor.
A very small motor will carry a
sailplane along.
No doubt careless and reckless
fliers will come to grief, but there
is no sport without danger.
But air sailing will combine skill
and knowledge of the air sea to be
navigated, together with all the
thrills of water sailing (extended
to three dimensions, up, down and
sideways), and it is likely to be-
come a favorite sport of yachts
men in the very near future.
