Allies Superiority In Air
Comes From Clay OF Arkansas
BY s. BURTON HEATH
NEA Staff Correspondent

Bauxite, Ark, Aug. 7-Probably
your atlas says that Bauxite is a
little village of less than 1000 inhab-
itants, located in Pulaski County.
Arkansas. Unless you have a good
map, you may not even find this
place on 1t. But don't let that de-
ceive you. Bauxite is one of the
most important communities in the
United States, and by the end of
this year will be one of the Ar
kansas largest settlements.
There is nothing handsome or i'm
posing about Bauxite or its fast
growing suburbs, the government
housing projects known as Pine
Haven (white) and Wood Lands
(negro). There are. no skyscrapers,
no lovely private residences, no de-
partment stores. The town is not
making planes or tanks Of mystery
weapons.
Its end product is a fine white
powder that looks and feels much
like confectioners' sugar. That
innocent-looking pwoder is alum
ina aluminium oxide which
when the oxygen has been freed
by electrolysis, becomes aluminium
for planes and ships and scores of
other essential war weapons.
BIGGEST DEPOSITS
From bauxite mined in an d
around this community, by the
end of 1913, will be made more
than half of the alumina used in
the arsenal of democracy. The
exact percentage would be hard
to compute, because Bauxite (the
town. is so ineXtricably interviewer
into the far-flung system of the
Aluminium Company of America.
But one half is conservative frac-
ton.
Bauxite gets its name from the
fact that it is located in the midst
of the bauxite producing region
of Pulaski couny which, with ad-
joining Saline county, provides 95
percent of all domestic bauxite ore,
the only practicable large scale
source of alumina today.
From its own mines, the Alum
mum Company obtains about
half of the bauxite that is mined
year-end will be about three
fourths of the ore used in this
country. So the company mines
probably will be the p m
source for a third of our national
supply of aluminium. But the ex-
traction plant here handles much
of the output of some ten other
mining companies in the neigh
borhood, which take the ore from
the ground and leave processing
to the Aluminium Company's plants.
The quantity of aluminium that

permitting us to thumb our noses
to Axis U-boats in this respect -
because of a new process devel-
oped by the Aluminium Company.
A plant to utilize that process will
be in operation here by fall.
Briefly, the point is this. There
is lots of bauXite in Arkansas, but
most of it is Glow grade" partly be-
cause of deficiency in alumina con-
tent but chiefly because it contains
too much silica. Unfortunately silica
sticks to alumina like an adhesive
plaster to hairy chest. The old
process would not divorce the two,
and every percentage point of silica
carried a percentage point of alum
ina down the waste pipe into sea
of worthless red mud.
The new plant will take that red
mud, remove the silica, free the
alumina, and Lake 1t feasible to use

Small Claims Court
Makes Debut Aug. Is
Sessions to Be Held Every Monday Thereafter; Pro-
cedure May Be With or Without Attorneys Services

Waterbury's working mans
court, technically known as the
Small Claims Division of the city
court, will hold its first session
Monday afternoon, August 16, at
200 p. M, and every Monday after
noon henceforth in the regular city
court room.
The court was established by an
act of the recent legislature IN
order to provide an informal and
inexpensive means for ordinary citi-
zens to collect money debts or dam
ages under the sum of 500.
To start an action in this court,
the claimant has merely to bring
a written or oral statement to the
office of Clerk Pasquael DiCicco
in the city hall. He will later re-
ceive a notice of the time set for
the hearing. A fee of $3.50 will
be charged, but this will be or
dered returned by the defendant If
judgment is against him.
Clerk DiCicco reports that since
his Office opened for business on
Monday, claims have been pouring
in steadily. He declares that while
lawyers are bringing numerous
claims to the court, the court is
principally interested in providing a
service to the everyday person who
has a grievance.
Procedure in the court may be
with or without the services of at
torneys. Judges of the regular city
court will preside at theh earrings,
and will question Witness for both
the claimant and the defendant.
Persops with small claims still
have the option to bring suit on the

LOOKING GLASS;
AIDS SHAVING
AT SCOTT FIELD.
BY ROBERT J. NEFF
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


Belleville, Ill. CUP)-While South
ern Californians lay claim to the
saying. On clear day you can see
Catalina" residents of this flat
prairie country In southwestern IL
linois have the saying, ON a rainy
day you can see yourself for miles"
Illinoisans refer to what is be-
lieved to be Natures largest inland
mirror - a phenomenon caused
when water on the open prairie
after a heavy rain reflects objects
for many miles.
Although the exact size of the
looking glass" never has been de-
termined because 1t varies with the
amount of rainfall, res dents say
that after a rain when the sun
shines on the large sheets of water
it's so bright that 1t hurts your
eyes,"
A legend which has come down
from Indian tribes who lived in this
vicinity century ago relates that
If an Indian maiden looked into
the glass long enough she would
see her destiny in the shining wa
ter.
Because of this phenomenon. In
dams named it the Looking Glass
Country" That was more than 100
years ago.
Dickens Was Enchanted
The name became we'll establish
ed when Charles Dickens, the Eng
lish novelist, visited here one April
day in 1912 during tour of the
U. S. Dickens described the look
ing glass" this in his American
Notes. written after he returned to
England:
There it lay, a tranquil sea or
lake without water, If such SIM
lie be admissible, with the day 60
ing down upon 1t; few birds wheel
ing here and there, and solitude
and silence reigning paramount
around
Since that time, however, towns,
grain fields and other evidences of
civilization have broken and crack
ed the mirrors" surface, until to-
day it is impossible for Goth CEN
fury observers to confirm Dickens
description of the country except
in some of the few remaining I'M
broken patches of prairie.
The novelist's tale, nevertheless,
has been widely publicized by the
U. S. Army Air Corps training CEN
ter at Scott Field near here.
The federal government bought
square mile tract of looking glass
country" in 1917 on which to train
its aviators for World War I. In
1888 the government revamped the
field with a heavier-than-air base,
which it later abandoned.
Story Will Spread
With the beginning of the pres
ent war, both the Indian legend
and the Army Air Corps lowered
over the vicinity. And the Scott
Field public relations office now
sends out its news releases with this
phrase on its letterheads:
Scott Field Is located six miles
from Belleville. Ill, in the heart Of
the Looking Glass Country i'm
mortalized by Charles Dickens
Although probably few U. S. citi-
zens have heard about this colorful
name for the vicinity, the thousands
of Army Air Force radio operators
who have taken and will take their
training at the huge base will
take their training at the huge base
will spread the story to their
friends. Down in Southern Illinois

early morning rain, we used to get
out shaving kits and walk over to

world and shave in It's surface"
