amicabe settlement of ownership of
islands off the coast of BorneO. The
islands are said to be practically

Use for worn-out Rubber.

1t used to be a favorite remark Of
one of Chicago's largest pork packers
that so many uses had been discovered
for the hog that when he was killed
nothing about him was lost but bis
squeal. AS with the hog, so 1t is with
the product of the rubber tree-noth-
ing tangible is lost.
WORKOUT rubber, like WORKOUT sill
yer, is something that does not exist
in these days.
Ever since the. advent OF bicycles
and motor cars, both of which drew
heavily on the worlds rubber supply.
and ever since the hundred and one
uses to which rubber is put in connec-
ton with electricity, the material has
become more and more scarce and val
liable, so that even the old rubber shoe
and the WORKOUT rubber boot may
throw out their chests In pride at being
worth really something. Nothing con-
tanning rubber Is discarded nowadays.
The old rubber coat over which the
spring tires of a motor car may run
on country road to-day may some
day find a nesting place In the soft
tresses Of q womans hair, after hav-
ing been transformed into handsome
| comb.
Even vulcanized rubber, which,
owing to the sulphuric process to
which it was subjected, was formerly
yalueless, is now subject to a process
which reiuvenates II and makes II fit
TO be worked up again for the purposes
of the manufacturer. Immense guam
titles Of this product, which formerly
was assigned to a rubbish heap, are
now treated and admixed with a GER
tain percentage Of new gum, enough
to cheaper the piece Of most rubber
goods turned out by the manufactures
to- day. Old rubber. however, can be
used by itself without any addition OF
fresh gum, the process Of treatment
being a simple one.
