LETTERMEN HOLD ICE CARNIVAL Christmas to You A ll A lum inum 1« From P ow der R esem bling C ooking Soda Aluminum comes from the oxide alumina—a fine white powder that resembles cooking soda. Alumina comprises about 8 per cent of the earth’s crust. Iron is the next most abundant and comprises about 5*4 per cent. Alumina is the basis of all clay, which itself is produced by the spontaneous decomposition of granite and similar rocks. In a free state, alumina occurs in the form of carborundum and is emery, the common kind used for polish ing. Aluminum and oxygen mixed, to gether with a little foreign matter to add coloring, make artificial ru bies and sapphires. The making of such compositions was one of the first uses of aluminum, states a writer in the Washington Star. A German scientist, Frederick Woehler, was the first to extract aluminum from the earth. De Ville, a French chemist, was the first to place the metal on a commercial scale, having undertaken experi ments at the request of Napoleon Hl, emperor of France. Unable to produce the metal in large quanti ties, commercial possibilities never went beyond the use of jewelry. For a half century chemists in many parts of Europe struggled to get the metal in large amounts out of the most abundant substance—alumina. This struggle was ended February 10, 1866, through the gpnius of a chemically minded young Ameri can, Charles Martin Hall, a student of Oberlin college. Hall conceived the idea of using electricity. He had learned that alumina could not be electrically isolated in the presence of water, and that it would not dissolve in any common solvent such as alco hol, ether or benzol. CHRISTMAS DAT IN THE MORNING.. 1938 SAYLO R ’S JA C K ’S CAFE Behrman, Jeweler M etal C ollar O nce U sed to P rotect H unting D og Fancy dog collars, often seen on the most cherished pets, have a most interesting history, according to a writer in the American Kennel Club Gazette. Collars may be traced back to the Fifteenth century and the days when a dog’s life depended upon a metal collar. The greatest collection of such collars may be seen in the Swiss National museum at Zurich, Switz erland; but the oldest collar known to exist is preserved at Basel. The Basel collar is of the moderately spiked type used on the watchdogs chained in the courtyards of the old castles of the Fifteenth and Six teenth centuries. It is much less awesome and elaborate than many designed for hunting wolves and bears and for the herder’s dogs which had to meet all kinds of foes in their role of protector for the cattle. In the days before the modern rifle, big dogs played a more impor tant part in hunting. They were expected to attack the wild boar, bears, wolves and other animals, not merely chasing them into the open. Dogs able to take care of themselves all have one vulnerable spot—the throat. And so the collars were developed as a protection in close combat with their enemies. Each type of hunting had its partic ular type of collar. The style used for bear was a vicious affair with heavy spikes, often several inches long extending from a metal band. Wolf hunting collars were of broad brass bands on which was engraved the name and title of the aristocrat owning the dog and often hunting scenes decorated the collars. Badger Is a Fighter The courage and fighting ability of the badger is traditional, and he is said to be able to easily defeat any dog less than twice his own weight. He never cries quits and never retreats, the final outcome of the battle always being death to the badger or the death or retreat of the dog. The badger’s battle cry is in itself more than a little startling even to a man. Savage snarls and loud, explosive hissings pour from his mouth in a continuous volley when he is aroused. Ground squir rels, gophers, field mice and other small rodents form most of his food, and much of it he obtains by dig ging into the burrows of these small creatures, who are unable to dig themselves deeper at a sufficiently rapid pace to escape. Charivaris Date Far Back The origin of charivaris stretches back to the early Fourteenth cen tury, so historians say. In those far distant days, a charivari was carried out in precisely the same way, except that it was meant to express disapproval rather than the approval it carries today. Chari- varists went masked in those days, and harassed people whose mar riages didn't quite meet the laws of custom. Second marriages and marriages of people whose ages were far apart were the particular butts of the charivarist.
