Ever since the beginning Of the war

In place Of bark. This drawback to
an Important industry induced the
Teknologisk institute to make series
of experiments to find out whether the
bark Of any native trees could be used
for tanning. The results are said to
be very gratifying. Spruce bark was
proved to contain tannic acid of high
quality. So marked, indeed, was the
success Of the experiments that Mr..
Balm, one of the leading manufac-
turers of Denmark, has decided to
start a factory at Valby for the pro-
duction Of tannic acid from spruce
bark. Incidentally this discovery
