FISH HIDES FOR
SHOE: LEATHER.
IF GOVERNMENT SUCCEEDS IN EX-
PERTINENT, PRICES OF SHOES.
WILL COME DOWN.

Secretary of Commerce Redfeld is
making a search for suitable substi-
tutes for leather. The Bureau Of
Standards, according to an announce
ment made few days ago, is con-
ducting experiments with the tan
ming of shark hides, porpoisG. gray
fish and grouper. with view to max
ing them commercially valuable.
Some very fine leather is made
from some of these fish hides" said
Mr. Redfeld. If we are successful It
will mean much to the people, and
among other things will tend to
bring down the prices of footwear
"A crisis has been averted in con-
nection with the supply of tin cans
through the development of fibre
containers as substitutes. The Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce has approved them. and they
will relieve the drain on the cap shp-
DIV to considerable extent"
The Bureau of Standards has dis
covered the process by which German
chemists nave been making chemical
porcelain, without which the labora-
tories and chemists would be seri-
ously handicapped. This porcelain
is now being produced commercially
in this country.
