be made ruStproof was announced
last night by DR.. Millers Reese Hutch

DR.. Hutchison, who for many years
was Thomas A. Edison's confidant

method consists of manufacturing
material, which when mixed with
molten steel or iron, makes 1t entire

even acid proof.

IRON" he said, possessing all the
strength of ordinary steel or iron,
but which can be left without atten-

in the most humid of climates.
This wonderful material Is known
to the metallurgical world as chro-
MUM. 1t is found in crude state in
many parts of the world, and as
chromite ore Is reduced in an electric
furnace, producing an alloy of iron
and chromium, with from to s per

bon product has been commercially
available for many years and is used
in the manufacture of automobile
