of the Committee of Manufacturers, which 

 was formed to assist in securing cheaper 

 alcohol for industrial purposes, in their work 

 in urging the passage of an act through con- 

 gress providing for the sale of tax-free alcohol 

 under proper restrictions, and that we recom- 

 mend that the widest publicity be given to this 

 expression of our views through publication in 

 the daily press, in the Journal of the Ameri- 

 can Chemical Society and in Science. 



The literature sent out by the Committee of 

 Manufacturers shows the many uses of tax- 

 free alcohol in European countries and the 

 directions in which it would be most valuable 

 if available in the United States. This litera- 

 ture may be obtained from the chairman, Mr. 

 Henry Dalley, 21 William Street, New York.

THE ANDREW CARNEGIE RESEARCH 

 SCHOLARSHIP. 



A research scholarship or scholarships, of 

 such value as may appear expedient to the 

 council of the Iron and Steel Institute from 

 time to time, founded by Mr. Andrew Carnegie 

 (past-president), who has presented to the 

 Iron and Steel Institute eighty-nine one-thou- 

 sand dollar 5 per cent, debenture bonds for the 

 purpose, will be awarded annually, irrespective 

 of sex or nationality, on the recommendation 

 of the council of the institute. Candidates, 

 who must be under thirty-five years of age, 

 must apply on a special form before the end of 

 February to the secretary of the institute. 



The object of this scheme of scholarships is 

 not to facilitate ordinary collegiate studies, 

 but to enable students, who have passed 

 through a college curriculum or have been 

 trained in industrial establishments, to con- 

 duct researches in the metallurgy of iron and 

 steel and allied subjects, with the view of 

 aiding its a-dvance or its application to indus- 

 try. There is no restriction as to the place of 

 research which may be selected, whether uni- 

 versity, technical school or works, provided it 

 be properly equipped for the prosecution of 

 metallurgical investigations. 



The appointment to a scholarship shall be 

 for one year, but the council may at their dis- 

 cretion renew the scholarship for a further 



period instead of proceeding to a new election. 

 The results of the research shall be communi- 

 cated to the Iron and Steel Institute in the 

 form of a paper to be submitted to the annual 

 general meeting of members, and if the council 

 consider the paper to be of sufficient merit, the 

 Andrew Carnegie gold medal shall be awarded 

 to its author. Should the paper in any year 

 not be of sufficient merit, the medal will not be 

 awarded in that year.
