Alloys of Highest Value described by American Machinist
Two new alloys, argental and a cobalt tin blend, are highlighted. Argental blends silver and aluminum, casting, rolling, and drawing into wire, with greater strength than aluminum or silver, silver-like appearance, non tarnish, and low density. The cobalt tin mix resists acids but is brittle, yet may form useful air alloys when combined with copper for improved machining and chemical resistance.

Dr. C Mercier, a noted British authority on children, argues in The Lancet that rapidly growing children should be withdrawn from school during peak growth periods especially if there is a family history of nervous or mental disorders. He says high pressure intellectual work is not harmful with proper nutrition and rest but should be avoided as growth accelerates. He emphasizes carbohydrates fuel movement while proteins form tissue, arguing against restricting a growing child's diet.
