Washington, March 19.-Action of the senate foreign relations commit teo today in reporting favorably .the nombiation of 'Balnbridge Colby to be secretary of state was expeoted to lead to confirmation .by the senate early next week. Chairman Lodge of the committee was understood to have planned to call the nomination up Monday, but it appeared possible ac tion might be delayed by the after math of the treaty fight. The committee, which held extensive hearings before it acted, did not re cord its vote favoring Mr. Colby's con firmation by the senate, but some mem bers reserved the right to discuss the nomination when it reached the senate floor. In the house 'Representative Dal lenger, 'Republican, of Massachusetti introduced a bill authorizing the as sistant secretary of state to sign pass ports, saying lie had been informed 70( were held up at the department until a secretary should take office, lie alon having power to issue such indications In view of the )rol)al)le early confirma tion of Mr. Colby, however, it was nol expected the Dallinger bill be )rescd Wampoles Cod 'Liver Oil 90c an< Wine, of Cardui 8-ic at .1.

American workmen have been sue cessful, after workieih of several oth er nations failed, in evolving a system of treating sealskins to make them more valuable. For many years furriers had desired a black dye with which to treat seal skins successfully. The mode had al ways been a brownish luster. First, the French announced a black dye, but this dye ruined the fur by causing it to rapidly disintegrate. The British then worked out a sys tem of dyeing the sealskins black, but they could not make the skin pliable and garments made from them were awkward. The lack of soft tanning and the thick le tther ma le it impos sible to get the flares and degrees of drape desired in garments. Today the Alaskan seal, under the American method, is as supple and may be as easily manipulated as the kid of a lady's glove or a fine piece of chiffon velvet. It is not an exaggera tion to say that an entire dressed skin can be drawn through a small napkin ring. The credit for the flexibility Is due to the machinery and process in stalled In St. Louis and known as the Ftnsten St. Louis mnethod.-St. Louis Times. ZINC STENCILS FOUND BEST Material Has Many Advantages Over Any Other Used In the Making of Those Articles. Zine is being introduced and made rather extensive use of at the present time in the manufacture of stencils, as a substitute for othet- metals and paper. Not only is zinc the only mate rat that does not stretch and buckle in continuous use, but it has several other important advantages. The cutting and making of papet stenells involves the same skilled' work as a stenell made of zinc, and n zinc steniell wiI reproduce ten thou sand copies. Zinc retains its flat .shnpc .ndeflnitely.
