CHICAGO. April 27. — The aluminum
p - se»l in cooking and which replaced
the hi-avy iron kettles of a former day
th eht and durable matreial used in
u ane construction and even the wrap-
p i" on a chocolate bar were made pos-
s by a discovery that reduced the
pnve of aluminum from twenty dollars
a pound to twenty cents a pound.
*'harl«s Hall while yet a college boy
n>!'dp the extensive use of the material
p«»s P le.
it was. known that aluminum was light
a malleable; that it had tensile
• ■ • v th beyond that of all metals ex-
C- T copper and iron ;that it was a
g "*1 conductor of electricity; that it
tarnished but slightly; and that it oc-
curred in combination with other elc-
t . hut an inexpensive process of
••■pa iiting it from its combinations was
Heeded to make it widespread.
Charles Hail knew that bauxite ores
Wer. olcntiful; that they were not in
n ’>ch demand for other purposes and
v o ild consequently he cheap or nt least
• mparatively so; and that supplies of it
vvitold he readily obtainable. Bauxite
«*i*s contain a high percentage of alum-
inum He also knew that other met-
« I id been isolated with ease by elec-
olysls which had before that been ob-
tained only with difficulty.
Besides aluminum and the elements
v! ich go to form water bauxite ores
contain some ferric oxide which would
l’ va late the process. Hall got rid of
*■ * by heating it with sodium carbonate
(washing soda). The ferric oxide (a
rug* ; “Venetian red” t does not dis-
■o.’ve and can be filtered off. To get rid
« • the sodium solution and to precipi-
t -»(*' th** aluminum compound carbon
• d* gas is passed through the solu-
t >i The aluminum compound precipi-
t-u H is then heated to drive off the
v at* r. giving an oxide of aluminum.
lla'l dissolved this oxide in a bed of
I i »n ervolite placed in a chamber tin

i > •* no’e ;carl*on rod* projecting in-
i'. ' mass formed the positive poles
T' electrical current decomposes the
©vuie. The molten metal sinks to the
fc- om. and is drawn off periodically.
The oxygen united with the carbon of
the pole forni'ng carbon dioxide which
passes in the air.
.'harles Hall discovered this while he
w*« working for a master’s degree. The
first piece that he obtained by the pro-
r« vs was about the *f re of abutton about
an inch in diameter. In exultation he
had carried that bit of metal to the man
f-om whom he had learned most of his
chemistry and it win that tiit of evi-
dence coupled with the fact that his pro-
fessor remembered the day on which it
t gtr-ed; that saved his patent for him.

GO TO CHURCH ON

( By The- Associated Press!
I.ONJHi.V April 27 The alternative
of going to church on Sunday or paying
a fine is suggested by the ltev. Hubert
Forman Horton on; <f Fuglund's most

means of raising sufficient revenue "to
run the country without plunging it int »
bankruptcy.” Such legislation he de-
daies. would net Slt.iMMt/Xtti pounds a

based on a law passial in the reign of
