Some of the Curious Results Shown In

covered that an alloy of copper and tin
produced Il reasonably hard metal call
ed bronze. which was suitable for cut

hard as flint, was easier to work and
did not break. Then began the bronze
age of history.
An alloy is Il compound Of two or
more metals. Alloys generally possess
properties vastly different from the
parent metals. For instance, gold is
the most ductle of all metals. 1t may
be drawn into the finest wire or beaten
into Il transparent film finer than the
thinnest tissue, and yet mix the small
est quantity of antimony with gold and
it is not ductile at all Copper and tin
mixed together produce an alloy with
higher specific gravity than either of

timony produce beautiful violet blue
alloy.
BY mixing together eight parts by
weight Of bismuth. five parts Of lead
and three parts Of grain tin an alloy is
produced which will melt at so low
temperature that spoon made of it
will melt when it is immersed in hot
tea. and yet the melting point Of each

London, March 26.-The breach
between the army and government
again opened, renewed attacks upon
aristocratic domination and the fac
ing of another crisis by the Asquith
cabinet were the net results today of
the stormy session in the House of
Commons yesterday when War Min
lister Seeley assumed full responsible
ity for the Irish tangle and Premier
Asquith repudiated the concessions
made Gen. Cough and other officers
who resigned rather than serve in
Ulster.
A conference of practically all the
general officers of the army in Eng
land was in progress at the war Office
today The purpose of a conference
was not stated, but in Dublin Gen.
Cough declared the officers would
hold the war council to its promises.
The atmosphere was far from
cleared today. The question was still
Shall the army rule England?"
The general impression is that Pre-
mier Asquith's belated reputation of
the Cough treaty" in the commons
yesterday only temporarily averts the
downfall of his cabinet.
1t is declared that the officers of
the Irish commands will never con-
sent to fight Ulster. Brigadier-Gen.
Cough stated his position in an inter-
view:
1--WE have guarantee signed by
the army council which the premier
cannot repudiate without overthrow
ing the council" said Gen. Cough.
I'VE will hold the council to its prom
Use, but if the premier stands by his
statement made yesterday fear the
entire question may be re-opened."

The gown shown is of dark green

this spring than ever before. The
skirt is draped about the feet and the
simple tunic is draped to form the

matter which way your taffeta gown

ONIONS IN BROWN BUTTER

Boil spring onions until tender.
Drain and arrange on platter. Brown
one tablespoon of butter in saucepan.
After taking from fire, add one table
spoon of lemon juice. Turn over
onions and serve at once.
The green tops of spring onions
may be minced fine and used the
same as chives in any soft cream
cheese. They also give a fine flavor
to sauce for steak. Use them this
way: One tablespoon of butter, one
teaspoon minced onion tops. Salt to
taste. Mix all together. Add one tea
spoon lemon juice. Spread on steak
just before serving.
