NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
Manufacturers Looking for Substitutes
for Those Now Used Because Of
Advance In Prices.

The recent advance in price Of many
OF the more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers to adopt or consider
the adoption Of various substitute
metals or alloys for certain purposes.
The advice of the bureau Of standards
has frequently been sought in this CON
nection. An interesting field of inves-
tigation Is opened up by such inquiries.
1t appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than others,
and a slight difference in price would
warrant a substitution. It Is not usu-
ally possible, however, to suggest sub
stitutes offhand, as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities, durability and other physical
and chemical properties that first have
to be determined. "There is" says the
bureau "a very wide field OF research
here, which would undoubtedly repay

BREAD AS ECONOMICAL FOOD
Would Be Used More Extensively If
Home-5aked Variety Was Always
Good, Say Government Experts.

II home-baked bread were uniformly
well made, 1t would be used more ex-
tensively than at present in place Of
more expensive foods, say specialists
in the United States department OF
agriculture, and this would be a dis
1nct economy. From the standpoint
OF nutrition 1t makes very little differ
ence whether breadstuffs are served in
the form Of bread or In the form of
breakfast cereals, side dishes with
meat, or desserts.
A man engaged In moderate muscu-
lar work can profltably consume about
threefourths Of a pound day Of
breadstuffs in any one Of these forms.
This quantity is the equivalent of one
pound of baked bread. AS a matter
OF fact, however, 1t is not probable
that In the average family this guam
tity Is consumed and the deficiency Is
made up by the use of more expensive
substances. OF course bread alone Is
not sufficient for the maintenance Of
health, but from both an economical
and hygienic point of view should be
used more extensively than 1t usually
Is, declare the experts.
