GEORGIA CLAY
FOUND USEFUL
BY EXPERTS
Bureau of Mines, Department of
Commerce After investigation
Makes Report On Clays
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—The
results of a study of the utilization
of Georgia and Alabama clays as
mini,,,, fillers, recently completed
by 1 Bureau of Mines, Department
of Commerce, indicate that these
clays .when prepared properly, can
be used advantageously in the man
ufacturer of paper, wall paper, rub
ber, paint, oilcloth, textiles, kalso
mine, plaster, matches, and numer
ous other materials.
The white clays or kaolins of
Georgia and, to a small extent, of
Alabama have been utilized in the
ceramic industry for many years, ac
coruing to W. M. Weigel, mineral
technologist, in a report just publish
ed. Some of these deposits have
supplied clay to paper manufactur
er.- and a very few have produced
cla. for use in rubber compounding
and the manufacture of oilcloth and
paint. As many owners and opera
tor- of clay deposits are unfamiliar
with the different requirements for
clajs to be used as fillers, and so are
are unable to prepare their products
for the market to which it is best
adapted, the Bureau of Mines, in its
endeavor to increase efficiency and
economy in the mineral industries,
as studied the clays in question to
ascertain the uses to which they
eouid be most efficiently put. A
study of the Georgia clays for cera
mic use was the subject of an earl
ier investigation by the Bureau.
The general area in which occur
the clay deposits studied by the Bu
reau of Mines extends as a belt
acr. s middle Georgia, into Alabama
and up to the northern end of the
boundary between Alabama and Mis
iss.ppi. This area is part of the coas
tal plain region. The Georgia clays
we'e evidently derived from the de
composition of the crystalline rocks
of the Piedmont Plateau to the north
ard some of the Alabama clays are
from similar rocks to the northeast.
The clay beds range in thickness
from those too thin to work profit
ably, up to more than 40 feet. The
thickness of cover ranges from a
few inches up to depths that make
stripping impracticable. At some
places 50 to 60 feet of cover has
b< < n stripped to expose the clay.
Heaven must be a place where you
can wear a suit of clothes as long
a.- the vest lasts.
We seldom speak of short dresses,
but they dp show how high silk
stoc king are these days.
Every girl closes her eyes while
1..-s:ng, and some have sense enough
to keep their mouths shut afterward.
Following the line of least resist
ence gets many a man’s arm around
a waistline.
Who remembers the nice warm
days of last summer when we longed
for the nice cool days of this winter?

Athlete advises a simple method
of keeping muscles in trim
Men who put their muscles to the
strain of hard exercise have learned a
quick, sure way of taking out pain and
stiffness.
“Inmytrainingwork,”writesa well
known athlete, “ I have used Sloan’s Li
niment for the past five years and found
it most effective for soreness caused
by vigorous exercise. Also an incom
parable remedy for stiff neck." (Name
and address of writer given on request.)
It is marvelous how ache and stiff
ness in lame muscle* yield to the
magic of Sloan’s. Just a little patted
on lightly, and healing new blood
tingles through the hurt place.
Away go “fatigue-poiaona." New
tissue gets needed nourishment. Sore
muscles limber up and stop aching.
