new USES FOR SILVER.
Bureau Of Mines Reports on In.
vestigation.

Study OF silver and its alloy should
result in wider use OF the precious
metal in At least two fields, with a
probability Of similar, results in other
directions, the Bureau of Mines has
reported to Secretary of Interior
Work in response to recent re-
quest from him for a preliminary
study of new uses for silver in COM
merce and industry. Possibility of
developing 4 non-tarnishing silver
for tableware use and the arts and
Of finding silver alloys suitable for
trimming automobiles were outlined
as the two fields in which an investi-
cation should result In a wider use
Of silver.
Secretary Work has transmitted a
copy of the report to Sentaor Tasker
L. Oddie, chairman of the senate COM
mission of gold and silver inquiry,
requesting an opinion from the COM
mission as to whether the public
interest would warrant the Interior
Department undertaking co-ordina-
tion of individual Investigations and
the beginning of a systematic study
of new uses for silver.
