NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR STEEL
0ursiumln Being Manufactured by

strong and Flexible.

With practically an unlimited field
In which to use 1t. an English firm
has begun the manufacture Of dura-
aumin, new alloy OF aluminium
which may In time become a substi-
stute for steel In work where lightness,
fstrenEth and fexibility are required
III b. Weeks. head chemist at Vickers'
Sons 4 Maxim's works at Barrow,
England, is the discoverer OF duralu-
min It Is \ little heavier than pure
aluminium. but is az strong as steel
and about one-third the weight Of
brass. 1t can be rolled. drawn, stamp
ed, extended, or forged 1t does not
corrode as easily as other aluminium
allows.
The one big drawback to the extern
ssive use Of aluminium, aside from iti
responsiveness, Is the fact that while
Its tensile strength equals that Of
steel, 1t is. far less flexible. The new
alloy overcomes that defect. according
TO the inventor. The firm has sucl
faith in duralumin and Of the futur,
demand for It that It is building new
works at Birmingham to manufacture
at and has patented 1t in all countries
of the world.

clean waist which went intensified in
the majority of cases. For laundry
bills have to be reckoned with. The
business girl took up the dainy lin

and a little fine lace for decoration.

removable collars, she achieved econ.

wolves were different from other dogs

that have returned to the life Of their

Collard dwelt especially during his
talk on the saloon situations in Dam

sponsible for the practice OF buying

the money was furnished by the sa-
