They are" he replied, "reincarnat-

a new tin can, but mostly a window
weight" Then he explained how the
old tin cans are gathered up and hurl-
ed into furnace, and how the thin
veneer of tin, which is merely the out
er covering, is separated as a melted
product from the steel, which forms
the real basis for the can. The tin
is far more valuable than the steel,
and it is used over and over again for
covering cans. The steel part, when
melted, becomes solid chunk; in
fact, the solidest chunk in the whole
steel family. Window weights must
be small, but hefty; hence the use of
steel from tin cans

RECOMMENDS MEDAL
FOR BRAVE SEAMAN

Carl ]. F. Frederiksen probably will
partment for saving the life of a fellow
seaman on the revenue cutter Seneca.
Recommendation for the granting of
the medal was made today by the COM
mandant of the service to the Secretary
of the Treasury.
Frederiksen and three other seamen
were engaged in splicing a line which
ran from the revenue cutter to the dere-
lict. Dorothea. about so miles from
the Bahamas. Frederiksen was on the
bow of the derelict when a heavy sea
swept over the small boat in which his
companions sat.
All three were instantly washed
overheard, and one man was carried
fifty feet away. Frederfksen threw
an oar to this man as the wave car
ried him along. The man in danger
grasped the oar, but 1t did not avail
him much.
When the man had sunk twice Fred
eriksen, concluding that the time had
passed for half measures, jumped in
and swan out to him. In the mean
time, the other sailors had climbed
back into the boat and were busying
themselves bailing it out. Then they
rowed over and picked up Frederiksen
and the other man. Frederiksen had
kept him af1oat four or five minutes,
according to affidavites made by men,
