NEW METALS BEING SOUGt

The recent advance in price of many of the more commonly used metals ha led manufacturers to adopt or consid the adoption of various SubStitL metals OF alloys for certain purpo' Tine advice of the bureau of Stand has frequently been sought in tn nection. An interesting field of

 IL appears that the metals traditl, ally and currently used for various articles are i'll many cases no better adapted for the purpose than others, and d slight difference in price would warrant q substitution. It fs not usu- ally possible, however, to suggest sub stitutes oft'hand. aS there are many factors involving manufacturing pecu- liariries, durability and other physical and chemical properties that first have to be determined. There is,H says the bureau, ''a very wide field of research here. which would undoubtedly ip, ,.s.. manyfod the efforts Put upon it. Scientific American.
