This rate on oatmeal was not def

that the recommendation Will be to

they are in the proposed bill, dutiable
at 10 per cent ad valorem, and the

senators who propose the change be

ma ioritv members and also OF the
democratic caucus.
Soon after the passage of the In
derwood bill by the house there were
many protests against differentiation
between raw materials and their prod
ucts and it was one of the first fea-
lures to be taken up with the senate
leaders and President Wilson.
Several weeks ago the committee
determined to equalize the rates one
way or another and few days ago
President Wilson was consulted about
the matter by Senator Simons, chair
man of the finance committee, and
Senator Williams.
Another development Monday was
the approval without change of the
sugar schedule as it passed the house,
and other schedules advanced to vary
ing stages of completion in the sub
committees. II was also announced
by Senator Shively that in his opinion
the tariff bill, as it goes to the senate
from committee will be a lower bill
in the aggregate than the Underwood
bill. The live stock association filed a
protest declaring free meat would
tighten the so-called trusts grip.

A New Metal.

Some remarkable qualities are
claimed for steelite, a new metal
which is composed of rs per cent. of
cobalt and the remainder of chro-
MUM. 1t may be cast and ground to
a fine edge, is impervious to rust and
the action of acids and highly flexible.
AS a lathe tool it will cut steel at the
rate of 200 feet a minute, a speed at
which steel would ordinarily burn.
Certain notifications of this alloy will
cut glass and even quartz crystals.
Steelite is said to be particularly suit
able for watch fittings.
