are other large producers. In the
manufacture of brakebands and
clutch facings in automotive equip
ment, asbestos has important mill
tary uses.
With war clouds massing over the
Mediterranean, cork has suddenly
assumed new strategic significance.
Cork Is obtained from the bark of
a tree that grows in areas bordering
the Mediterranean Sea. AL at
tempts to establish cork forests
in the United States and elsewhere
so far have been unsuccessful. World
production OF cork amounts to about
250,000 tons. Portugal, Spain and
Algeria provide the bulk of the
supply.
In 1888 the United States imported
10000 tons of cork, about 40 per cent
of the world output. Cork has scores
of commercial and industrial uses,
so a shortage of cork in war would
be a serious matter. The cork in
dustry is concentrated on the At
lantic seaboard, from Maryland to
New York.
Industry Needs Graphite.
Graphite, another critical mate
rial, is a mineral consisting of crys-
tallized carbon. Though chemically
graphite Is akin to the diamond, the
physical characteristics of the two
are widely different. One is the
softest of minerals, the other the
hardest. The foundry and steel in
dustry require large quantities of
graphite. In foundry and crucible
work and in the manufacture of
paints and pigments, electrical ma
chine brushes, electrodes and dry
batteries. graphite has many ma
tional defense uses.
Most of the graphite consumed in
the United States comes from Cey-
Ion, Madagascar, Mexico, Chosen
and Canada. Though this country
has large deposits, American con-
sumers prefer high-grade types from

Because Of its wide use in medi-
cine, iodine Is listed as a critical
material. Unlike quinine, however,
for which we are dependent on i'm
ports from the Dutch East Indies,
the United States manufactures
large quantities of iodine. The
American industry is young and
might not be able to meet emer-
gency needs. AS an antiseptic on
the field OF battle iodine holds first
place.
Also Used in Commerce.
Iodine also has extensive CONNER
cial uses. The chemical industry
consumes a great deal in the pro-
duction Of the sensitizing solutions
used in the manufacture of photo

to cattle feed and soil fertilizers. In

BY OLIVER MCKEE.

On January 80, the Army and
Navy Munitions Board announced
a list OF Is critical materials. Though
essential to national defense, these
commodities present less serious
procurement problem than materials
listed as strategic. To prevent a
shortage in war, conservation and
distribution control measures will
be necessary. Like strategic materials,
those classified as critical have i'm
portant industrial, as well as mill
tary, uses and for our supplies we
are largely dependent on foreign
sources.
Until recently. aluminium was
listed as a strategic material. A
metal widely used in industry,
aluminium is derived from bauxite
ore. In 1898, the United States pro-
duced 329, 900 tons of bauxite. World
production that year totaled 3,862,-
600 tons. Though this country has
substantial reserves Of bauxite ore,
we usually import large amounts
from British and Dutch Guiana
The United States and Germany
are the worlds largest producers
OF aluminium. This metal is used
in the manufacture of airplanes and
explosives. If the sea lanes remain
open. the United States, in war,
will be able to supplement domestic
bauxite with importations from
South America.
Canada Produces Our Asbestos
The automobile and building in
dustries both use large amounts OF
asbestos, another critical material
Though the United States consumes
more asbestos than any other coun-
try, we produce only to per cent
of our requirements. Canada is the
worlds largest producer, and sup
plies most of our imports. Soviet

singer in the cast had a voice and
knew how to use it. Nor were they
just singers but actors as we'll with
many individual touches in their
portrayalS that indicated an in
telligent analysis of the characters
they created. The action moved
along with spirit and with credi-
bility in surroundings depicted with
charm and amplitude. The imagi-
nation was stimulated, not asked
to exert itself to supply any de-
ficiencies which less care for detail
would have necessitated.
The role of Carmen has seldom
had a better interpreter, vocally and
physically, than Coe Glade. Dark,
svelte and audacious, she plays the
part with fire and sings 1t with a
full-throated resonant voice of large
dimensions and range. Since the
days of Calve, Carmen has gone
begging, so to speak, for a singer
who combines all the requirements
of a proper Installation of the gypsy
girl, and that in spite of the several
artists of world fame who. have
essayed the part. Miss Glade has,
with her artistic conception and an
intelligent balance in her acting,
made her presentation one of the
outstanding ones. A gesture, a pos
ture or a spoken word give an in
dividual turn to a dramatic moment.
Her singing of the several arias and
ensemble portions was done with re-
straint, yet with rich vocal effect.
Assisting her in every climax and
showing his own artistic stature as a
thinking actor and exceptional sing
er was Sidney Rayner in the role OF
Don Jose. His voice is a ringing
tenor with free high tones and
emotional expressiveness. His per-
formance was finished throughout
avoiding the weakness that often
makes Don Jose an unsympathetic
character and bringing out a more
manly and passionate side. The ap-
plause following his singing of the
Flower" aria was the most en-
thusiastic of the evening.
Laura Triggiani as Micaela claimed
almost as much attention as the
two leading singers, for her beauti-
full voice made the small but i'm
portant role distinctive. A young
artist both in years and experience
