Rare Mineral Found in Utah

Biologists have found among the Tus-
har Mountains in Utah large deposit
of alunite rare mineral that is ex-
ceedingly valuable because it contains
aluminium, potash and sulphuric acid, all
in easily reducible form. Commercially
it is an inviting substance, for it is said
that any one of its three constituents will
pay for the work of extracting all three,
so that the other two are all profit. Alum
inium is light and durable metal suit
able for a hundred uses, and the CONNER
cial supply has never been equal to the de-
mand. Both potash and sulphuric acid
are in constant use. The potash is of
especial value in producing mineral fertil-
izer. For years Germany has had almost
a monopoly of cheaply produced potash.

Greenwich Village conjures memories
from the limbo of the past; memories of
Vie Parisenne with its decorative and re-
vealing covers, siren-eyed vampeuses of
the QUARTER Latin, more brazen daugh
ters of Montmarte; popping corks in The
Moulin Rouge; world free from the
dull habit of retrospective thought; little
midinettes of the Rue de la Paix throng
ing the streets at the closing hour; Evon
of the Settlement, with her elAin lowell
ness and pixy laughter. That was bunk,
too-aimed to delude lonesome youngsters
in strange land, into believing that if a
Hun zcinnenzvurfer found them, at the
front, it was in worthwhile cause.
1t was pathetic, even as the bid for urf-
restricted lives on the part of the youngs-
tiers who flock to Greenwich Village is
pathetic. 1t is sham, gilded over by
mirage, chmera that is readily ap-
parent. This is world of sham and
pretense, an endless round of prosaic rou-
tine. And if the Villagers choose to be
Just a little different than other people

slaves held under subsection by official
duress or religious JUNCTION, and it is the
inalenable privilege of every free-born
citizen of the world to lead his or her own
life.
Militant righteousness is cloak that
fits few well-zealous Puritanism hides
more avarice and lust than spangles and
rouge. Greenwich Village is not nest
of hyprocrites, which is to its credit. We
have lampooned the Village for your en-
tertainment but it is good-natured shafts
that we direct. We respect the long
locked creator of punk poetry, not because
he has handed down an artistic work, but
because he is sincere in his conception and
craftsmanship.
And with all of his radical utterances,
his famboyant defiance of the conven-
tions, his contempt for Mrs. Grundy and
her kin. Brother Sumner, he is pretty
solid American citizen.

GREENWICH VILLAGE
By Mr.. K. L. M.

II NECN WIFI village is the nOIHc
grounds of the great god of Hokum,
the battle grounds of the vitupera-
tive female of masculine mien, and the
dirt-slinging male of luscious gurglings
of delight. 1t is an unofficial collection
of freaks and fripperies, the Mecca of
romantic maidens, avaricious old maids,
and unkempt hoboes with fare for free
verse, free love and free lunch.
Geographically it is the district en-
braced by Seventh Avenue, Bleeker Street
and MacDougal, including Washington
Square. 1t is generally accepted that the
Village is part of New York, though
some natives of both parts disclaim any
connection with the other. Greenwich
Village is the place where you pay dol
lar for pack of cigarettes that were in
tended to be used for purposes of fumi-
CATION. For fifty cents you can get cup
of tea that would kill native Texan and
for dollar you can get Chinese jade
ornament that came from the soapstone
hills of Vermont.
At the Greenwich Village Inn the
gullible fapper melts into the arms of
Russian poet, who writes because he was
born that way, and gazes drearily into
his soulful eyes while he drags her around
to the air of "Come and Get it Blues"
The Bamboo Forest serves delectable
dishes of the Middle Kingdom, known as
Lin Tao food, which means 600 B. c.,
especially the eggs. The Gas Alert! is
given for the benefit of the uninured and
gas masks are served with the eel egg
omelets.
Frankness is the dominate note among
the Villagers but the law makes them
wear some for the sake of the proprieties
and the elderly danes from Hicks Cor
ners and Bayport. If you are addicted
to the use of intoxicants you get shot of
Ng Ka Ply tea, pleasant concoction made
from distilled river water and embalmed
lizards If that doesn't put you out you
take on a whirl of sake at The Tokyo.
Everybody reaps golden harvest at
the Village-everybody but the sucker
and the barber. Bobby Edwards editor,
prince of hokum, artist, and near car
toonist acts as spokesman when the morals
or sincerity of his fellow citizens are as
sailed. On the staff of his magazine, The
Quill, are the following local officers of
the American Legion and Sons of the
Revolution: A. Popini, Willy Pogany,
Toyoharu Yamanouchi, Stanislaws Szu
kalski and Zoltan Halmi.
Harry Kemp, who is now in Spain
throwing the bull, is one of the Village
notables as are Mary Carolyn Davies and
Ben De Casseres from County Donegal.
Norman Jacobsen draws futuristic pic
lures that could never be shown in Penn
sylvania unless blinders were passed out
at the door. Thomas Edgeow acts as
dramatic critic in exchange for a pass
as he himself states. We almost forgot
to mention that Bobby Edwards makes
ukeleles, as we'll as other atrocities.

Cling on the dance floor. At the Jolly
Friars' you may find Bob Barie's Band
and welcome if you have the gelt to
feed the kitty. The Mad Hatter's is the
first tea palace of the district; six years
old, but age doesn't mean anything any,
more. Neither does the label Romany
Marie's is Roumanian establishment, and
at The Samovar they don't shave either.
We might as well be as frank as the
Villagers. While we are unable to verify
this statement, we believe that the resi-
dents keep on intimate terms with aqua
bnra. Equally frank, they practice high
ly developed form of divorce and larceny
from the person, fguratively speaking,
They are arch-charlatans, exponents of
the easy dollar, knights of the order of
income tax collectors, sultans of separa-
ton.
Regulations mean nothing in Green
wich Village. But, after all, what can
you buy with reputation? Money is of
the materialstic and mundane world, so
of course is of no consequence. But try
to buy ten-cent knickknack for less than
dollar. Anything for Arts sake is the
slogan. They might kick in for Bill, too,
if they were coaxed. 1t is proclamation
of their art to work with only the filthy
lucre in view; it is work of love, as
Monsieur Criqui cackled when he hung
one on the Pride of Cleveland's whiskers.
After bored buds of society have given
their attention to the Home for Senile
Tom Cats and the Local Branch of the
Foreign Missionary Society, whose repre-
sentatives are waging valiant fight for
lost souls in Lincoln, Nebraska, they turn
to the Village for diversion. 1t offers
many unusual and novel attractions. For
instance if Winnies papa keeps her in
lettuce she can be made love to in any
language, over bumper of Chianti or
vodka, as the case may be-Winnie pay
ing for the cups that cheer. The rates
for alleged models are very reasonable,
and De Lancey De Peyster, who thinks
vermllion is figure, can splash the can
vas and the bubbles ad hbitum.
The only thing that is shy about Green
wich Village is its inherent modesty re-
garding the works of other artizans and
creative geniuses. Every Villager is a
leather-lunged ballyhoo, every citizen a
walking advertisement of the only place
on earth where the moonshine and moon
light are both of the synthetic variety.
The Pirates Den is piratical in appear
ance for the Village goes in strong for at
mosphere. The slip-horn virtuoso is clad
in velveteen jacket, flowing shirt and
swash-buckling boots, reminiscent of Sea-
,amouche and Captain Blood. The wait
ers bark at you from the corners of their
mouth as the denizens of the Bowery are
popularity supposed to do, but don't. The
atmosphere is the quintessence of perfec-
ton, but it always takes a mastery touch
to set off successfully. 1t is the last word
in buckaneering brusqueness, staggerer
for Croesus or a Coal Oil Johnny. We
refer to the check.
1t is said that The Washington Square
Book Shop introduced psychoanalysis in
the Village. We wouldn't brag about it.

THE FIGURE IN BRONZE
PART III
BY Mr.. II. W.

" RRANGEMENTS were all COM
~ pleted for the outing in the country
which was to begin with the coming
dawn. Miss True, in company with the
deaconess, had just returned from the Sun
day evening services. "Gracious! How
hot and sultry it is; and not particle of
breeze. l do hope that we shall have nice
weather this week." remarked the super
intendent.
Listen l do believe that hear thun-
der" said Miss Wall.
Justice stepped to the window and
looked up at the sky which was now inky
black. Not star was to be seen. A
slight breeze swayed the window curtains,
and fash of forked lightning cleaned
in the distance, followed by joint peal
of thunder. "Thank Goodness-it'S really
going to rain announced Justice.
Better run and close the windows, sis
ters, as the rain may blow in and wet the
curtains and carpets" suggested the su-
perintendent.
All scurried to see that the house was
closed. As they returned to the sitting
room Miss Wall went to the piano, and
all joined in singing the first verse,
"Abide with me; fast falls the eventide.
The darkness deepens; Lord with me
abide" etc. Miss True led in prayer.
At its conclusion, the earth became livid
with fame, terrific crash was followed by
deep-toned rolling thunder, shaking the
very earth. A night current of air. rushed
through the city streets. The rain fell in
torrents mighty niagara in volume, and
the streets became rivers of rushing wa
tiers.
After the first terrific onslaught of the
storm-king, his wrath seemed somewhat
pacifed. The wind no longer blew
gale, but changed to COOL clean, and
refreshing breeze. The rain now fell
regularly, so, after again slightly raising
the windows, the ladies sought their
rooms and retired for the night.
The morning sun arose in sky spotted
here and there with light Aeecy-ooking
clouds. A balmy breeze, exhilarating with
sweetness, played over the earth, and all
nature seemed to rejoice that the long
Grouth was at last broken.
By the time that the courthouse clock
had chimed the hour of ten, there was
gathered a great assemblage of autos and
trucks, with long plank seats upon either
side, and filled with nearly two hundred
children and their parents, all of whom
had been recruited from the ranks of the
city's thousands of poor. Few indeed, if
any, of these guests had ever before been
concerned with automobiles, except to
dodge them as they whished through the
streets of their district. But these waits
and ragamufins were not only bedecked
with clean clothes and new shoes; not to
mention clean faces and an ice-cream
cone each; but were actually sitting in
auto cars!
Hardly had the last stroke of ten been
sounded, when four mounted policemen
galloped around the corner of the park,
followed by large truck bearing the
newsboy's band. The youngsters in the
waiting cars set up prolonged cheer as
the band, resplendent in page g, Col. 2)

 Mrs Mallory led throughout the contest, only two games in the entire match which was completed in 30 minutes, touching at deuce points.

PLAN FOR AUBURN-ALABAMA
 GAME AND APPROPRIATION FROM STATE FOR STADIUM
Would Sell Tickets at $5 Each and Plan For 20'- GOO Attendance-Game in Either Birmingham or Mont gomery

The action of the state legislature in requesting the presidents of Ala bama and Auburn to arrange for a post-season game to be played in Birmingham or Montgomery, and the proceeds of which are to go toward the erection of concrete stadiums on the campuses of the two institutions as memorials to the alumni of Ala bama and Auburn, who were killed in France, has created a lot of com ment over the state.
 The resolution, introduced by Rep resentatiye Will Walton tf Cham bers, requesting the presidents of the two institutioEs to arrange for a post-season game was passed In both houses of the legislature with practically no opposition. The reso- lution included In it a request for a statement pro CT con from the presl- dents within the next two weeks.
 The motive which prompted such action was primarily for the erection of a memorial to the sons of Ala bama's two great state institutions that gave their lives for their coun- try in France. The plan was that tickets for the game should be sold at s5 each, field providing for the handling of 0,000 fans, an equal di- vision of the proceeds and a further appropriation from the state for the erection of the stadiums. With the number of alumni over that, the two schools have an attendance of 10000 would be a small matter With s50,O00 for each school toward erection of the memorial and further appropriation from the state Alabama and Auburn would not only have honored their hallowed dead, but would have stadiums that would be of much use to them.
 The playing of the game would not mean the renewal of athletic rela- tions, necessarily. and there is little doubt that the two schools would meet and play the game with no dls- order. On such an occasion there would be no outbreak.
 If seems that the cause is worthy certainly and that a game between the two schools would be great drawing caM is little doubt Al though it is against the southern intercollegiate conference rules to play post-season games for such cause it would not be hard 10 raise the ruling on this occaslon'
 Many of the alumni Of the two ln- .ritutlons over the state are In 1aNor of the game and say that they thlnk there will be no disorder. state ments of prominent alumni of both institutions have been made to The Ace-Herald to this effect. It seems N.hat such a game could easily be ar
