BUREAU OF STANDARDS
ACTIVITIES DEBATED
Nv the Associated Press.


Representative Stafford Of Wisconsin
has raised the question as to the adj
visibility of continuing numerous APP
preparations for the Bureau of Standards
for various Investigations from year to
year, which, he said, are for the benefit
of private industries. He said that the
work of investigating and testing rail-
road track, mine and other scales should
be terminated within year.
Representative Shreve of PennSyl-
vania pointed out that many of the in
quirieS are conducted with private in
dustries on cooperative basis and
that they are of continuing nature
and not capable of conclusion at the
end of any particular period. Repre-
sentative Summers of Washington also
referred to the necessity of continuing
the inquiries and stated that important
developments had been made in tests
of steel rails for railroad use.

WHEAT CHARTERINGS.
By the Associated Press.

~ ILS <1oooSAdtcu EIeSS.
Australian wheat charterings have
increased during the first half of Janu-
airy, though they are still somewhat de-
layed by the uncertainty surrounding
the Government guarantee for the crop,
which is now estimated at 1000, 900
bushels
In spite of the fact that the rainfall,
which decidedly affects the quality of
the wheat in the New South Wales Vic
toria, is the best in decade, advices to
the Commerce Department say trade and
industry have experienced decline
and the outlook is unsatisfactory.
