“SKINS” ON ALLOYS SAVE METAL WASTE Gas Baths for Other Mix- tures Prevent Losses of Volatile Elements. By the Assoclated Press. ANN ARBOR, February 11.—By growing a metallic skin on some alloys and giving others gas baths, a tidy fortune can be saved to American in- dustry. This fortune is the present loss of millions of dollars’ worth of metal now going up in smoke from furnace chim- neys. The discovery of the skin and the gas bath methods of saving at least part of this loss was made public today by the Department of Engineering Re- search of the University of Michigan. The experiments have been under way for three years. They were spon- sored by several of the large utilitles companies of the Middle West. Losses Run High. The results are reported by Dr. Claire professor of metallurgical nd A. J. Herzig, formerly te at the university. arch was done upon brass, the industry in which non-fer- yous metals are most extensively used in producing alloys. Most of the fur- naces used gas. These alloys shrink during melting, y to metal which boils away into the air. The losses are high be- cause the brasses are 5 to 10 times as costly iron alloys, and also boil more readily. Blanket Volatile Elements. The skins which reduce losses are oxygen crusts formed upon the liquid metallic surface. They blanket the volatile elements in the molten mass so as to retard escape. They are espe- cially efficient in saving shrinkage of winc alloys. But these skins are of little use for Jead and tin. Here the gas bath is best. It is obtained by melting the alloys in an atmosphere in which some other gas is substituted for oxygen. Nitrogen is one of the most effective. But the kind of gas bath needed depends largely upon the kind of alloy in the furnace. The report states that the laboratory procedure for reducing shrinkage has been developed to the point where it can be used commercially. SEVERE SUFFERING IN MANCHURIA TOLD Smithsonian Official Gets hturl Picturing Misery—Japanese Held Responsible. Widespread distress exists in Man- churia, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physical anthropology of Smithsonian Institution, has been informed in 8 letter from an American friend who resides in Korea. The communication was dated January 15. “With the taking of Chinchow,” the American wrote, “the Japanese 'army has conquered Manchuria. The Chinese kept their agreement not io fight—re- sult, very little bloodshed. The mili- tarists got the upper hand and taking the bit in their teeth, carried out their purpose. “Bandits? Well, the world surely grasps the situation. What lies! It certainly would not do for me to pub- lish my views. The Chinese prisons were opened; prisoners freed; the sol- diers were disbanded and scattered; the peace and prosperity which had prevailed in Manchuria was turned into turmoil and unrest. (There had been no more peaceful place in the Orient than Manchuria before the Japanese militarists took hold of things in 8ep- tember). And then the Seiyukai, war party, formed a new cabinet under Inukai. Now that cabinet is facing failure and what will be the next step? It is dead of Winter, prices have soared high, Japanese money has gone down and distress is all about us.” ECONOMIES TO BE TOPIC Friends Forum Sponsors Two Pro- grams This Month. The Friends' Forum is sponsoring two discussion programs this month on the topic of economics, At 8 o'clock Sunday night M. H. Hedges, editor of the Electric Worker, will speak on “Na- tional Planning in an Industrial De- mocracy.” The lecture will be followed by a question hour, when each person present will be permitted to put one question. On Sunday, February 28, J. Russell Smith, professor of economics at Co- Jumbia University, will talk on “The Christian Duty Toward Periodic Un- employment.” Both meetings will be held at the Friends' Meeting House, 1811 I street.

She filed motions to force MacFadden to disclose details of his defense that the stock formed B flund for the benefit of their children only. M MacFadden declares in her ecomplaint that MacFadden induced her to leave the stock with him, on the ground that his possession of it would enure to her benefit. She says she has never had the shares in her possession and since 1930 her husband ordered them returned to the corporation and marked “cancelled.” _— L with COLIDSY Do this now! Don’t waste time.

WHEN CHILDREN COMPLAIN of irritation . . . it may be toilet tissue illness. The membranes of a child are extremely dclicate, easily bruised by inferior toilot tissue. The tiniest abrasion may collect bacteria... spread infection...even result in chronic rectal iliness. Don't take chances. Equip your bathroom with tissues you know meet the standards of softness, purity and absorbency which physicians approve —Scot- ‘Tissue and Waldorf. These The above tests showed that Scot- Tissue and Waldorf are absolutely safe—entirely free from harsh ir- ritants . . . and chemically pure. extremely soft, absorbent health tis- sues have always been approved for safety by doctors, hospitals and health authorities. Toilet lissues Tests of 660 brands show 2 out of 3 Unsafe because of Strong Acidity ... Some actually found to contain Dangerous Chemicals ... Aluminum, Mercury, even Arsenic ' Many cases of serious illness attributed to the widespread use of inferior tissues... Tests prove SCOT TISSUE and WALDORF meet the accepted standards of medical safety. HEN YOU BUY toilet tissue without specifying the brand of a responsible manufacturer, you are taking a serious risk of endangering your family’s health. For actually two out of three of the so- called “brands” sold today are unsafe. This was proved recently in a hospital laboratory. 660 brands wege tested—chem- ically and microscopically. The detailed report shows that 455 of these 660 toilet tissues are decidedly in- ferior and contain chemical impurities which are an actual menace to health. Strong acids (hydrochloric and sulphur- ous), mercury, aluminum, sand, chlorine —and even arsenic weré found. In addition 270 of these toilet tissues contained une safe quantities of abrasive wood splinters. In every test, the two health tissues, ScotTissue and Waldorf, conformed to ac- cepted standards of medical safety.” No harsh irritants were found. ScotTissue and Waldorf were extremely soft and cloth-like, absclutely pure, with Both a high degree of absorbency. Non oot prices in Ty cars! It doesn’t pay to take chances. Rectal trouble is a serious, painful malady, often requiring an operation. /” Be sure of safety. Always call for Scot- Tissue or Waldorf by name. Never say “gome toilet tissue, please.” Remember, two out of three brands are unsafe. being featured ar thic
