states government has made similar
contracts with manufacturers In neu.
trail countries, such as Spain ana
Switzerland, and in large amounts to
the allied countries of England and
France, and the government owes 1t
as a point Of order to deal fairly with
the business men Of those nations VINO

publican member Of the committee on

Saving Metal.

From the Hartford Courant.
That earnest efforts are being made
to save metal Is shown by tho fact
that the manufacturers Of the leading
brands Of baking powder have met in
New York to decide on the best type
Of oontainer to use in place Of the tin
cans in which their products have
hitherto been packed. Some type Of
nber or paper will be used as soon
as the form best adapted for tho pur-
pose can be selected.
There Is, as men in the metal trades
know, q shortage Of tin and. As most
mon know by this Tina there 10 an
increased demand for steel in sheet
or in any other form That 10 why
the manufacturers OF baking powder
are anxious to find some substitute
for tho tin cans which they have used
for their product. Many other manu-
facturers Of products which hereto
fore have been packed in tin have
already provided themselves with con-
tainers made of some other material
It means a shifting In methods and
while some industries may go back to
the use of tin when the war ends, not
all Of them will. If paper or fiber
proves satisfactory no reason will
exist for continuing the use Of metal.
