Uncle Sam test brass alloys. Washington D.C. To determine the correct amount of alloys necessary for desired results in the making of castings and other uses, the U.S. Bureau of Standards is conducting daily tests. 600 different portions of the alloy are used at the present time. The tests are made with brass bars which are melted in a high frequency induction furnace and the temperatures are recorded before and during the pouring into the molds.

Mrs. M.C. Ray from Mangum, Louisiana. Wife of construction worker at Camp Livingston who had been farming but came out here to make more money. The whole family has had flu. When they first arrived they had to sell their cars so they can't get to Alexandria very often to get milk and supplies for the children. She said that all her grocery bills here were twice as much for the same amount of food as they were in Mangum and that eggs were always at least twice as high. Louisiana

The giant "King Crab" of the Bering Sea, which before the war supplied a substantial amount of the canned crab meat which the Japanese sold to the United States, will be canned commercially by Americans for the first time this year. Prior to the war the Japanese were taking the "King Crab" in sight of American territory, canning it on floating canneries, and shipping it to the United States for sale. In one pre-war year alone we imported 10,720,000 pounds of crab meat valued at 4,582,000 dollars from Japan and ninety-five percent of our canned crab meat came from this source

Purchasing on an average of 4,000,000 electric light bulbs annually, Uncle Sam is probably one of the largest users of light in the country.

The giant "King Crab" of the Bering Sea, which before the war supplied a substantial amount of the canned crab meat which the Japanese sold to the United States, will be canned commercially by Americans for the first time this year. Prior to the war the Japanese were taking the "King Crab" in sight of American territory, canning it on floating canneries, and shipping it to the United States for sale. In one pre-war year alone we imported 10,720,000 pounds of crab meat valued at 4,582,000 dollars from Japan and ninety-five percent of our canned crab meat came from this source

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Analyzing the amount of copper and lead in the brasses. In this test the laboratory checks samples of brass from the mill's production to make sure they are the correct mixture. Samples are dissolved in acid and subsequently electrolyzed. The copper is plated out on the cathode negative electrode and the lead on the anode positive electrode. The percentages of each metal present are determined by weighing the electrodes before and after electrolyzing. Chase and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio
