The reports from the former Secre- taries are understood to include George B. Cortelyou, in the Roosevelt cabinet; | Franklin MacVeagh, in the Taft cabi- | net, and William G. McAdoo and David Houston, in the Wilson cabinet. A let- ter from Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary under President Roosevelt, also is be- | fore the committee. The committee aiso has before it a letter written by Alexander Hamilton, | | the first Secretary of the Treasury, dis- | closing that he disposed of his Gov- ! ernment bonds before he took office, but | held his corporate stock.

Another is that the head. of each Academy department, whether a naval officer or a civilian, be kept at | the Academy for a long period of years. | Most naval officers stay as instructors at the Academy for a few years only and are then sent to sea or given other details.

Tinware Gets Sick. ‘The subject of corrosion is as much of a mystery to the men of the metal industry as cancer is to the medical fraternity. Tin is used as a coating to vrotect the iron base on which it is placed, as for instance, in the manufac- ture of tinware, and yet tin itself is subject to corrosion of an entirely dif- ferent character. This corrosion is harmless or almost so, but the subject is one of great interest to metallurgists. In a recent discussion of this subject it was disclosed that although tin is ‘rapidly becoming rarer it is still the most practical and economic metal for | preserving food products.
