Aluminum Made Possible Through Discovery Of Electrolytic Proc'ess thode (minus). The vat is then filled with a cryolite (or bauxite) solution When the current is turned on the aluminum particles in the solution, being positive charged, are attracted to the lining of the vat and the oxygen escapes at the top The aluminum being molten and heavier than the rest of the solution, sinks to the bottom of the vat, whereupon it is tapped off and allowed to solidify. Molten aluminum oxide is used in the commercial preparation of gems The widely advertised white sapphires are nothing more than the pure oxide. By adding small percentages of other metallic oxides different hues are obtained, and through this method such gem stones as the yellow and blue sapphires, ruby and oriental amethyst are manufactured These synthetic jewels are almost identical In properties and composition with the natural gems.

It must be administered conservatively, sympathetically, and intelligently.

"Many feeble-minded persons in the community are too old to benefit from sterilization the report continues.

Others are of such low levels, or so irresponsible and emotionally warped, that they cannot be safely left at large In the community even after sterilization. For such, life-long sterilization with separation of the sexes is the only safeguard.
