Rubber From Wheat.

Wheat and hogs, hitherto regarded
by the farmer OF the Mississippi val
ley simply as food products, have as
sumed a new commercial Importance
In brief, wheat and hogs spittle viii
produce rubber.
In an article entitled Rubber
Made from Wheat" william 7. Walsh
writing in reference TO this matter in
the Technical World magazine for
January, says: The Importance Of the
discovery can scarcely be Oyeres-
timated, coming as it does at a time
when the world is anxiously asked
from where its future supplies Of rub
Der are to come. In half a decade, It
is said, the annual consumption OF
the elastic material viii be at least
10, 900 tons. Even 100, 200 tons is re-
garded by many as a conservative es-
innate.
It was by accident that Mr.. Carr,
the English inventor or discoverer Of
the substance, made the first step in
his great discovery. He was but a
small boy then. Passing one day
through q field Of wheat, he picked
a few grains OF the cereal, and, chew
ing them, formed the glutinous COM
pound so familiar to every country
lad. Many years later, recalling his
early experience, he began putting his
theory to the test His first labOra-
tory was q small shed in his back
yard; his apparatus, q conee-grinder
and q kettle Of hot water. Later, he
was able to obtain. the use OF the best
shops and laboratories in England
After years Of experimentation Mr.
Carr has ultimately achieved success,
But, continues the writer, in the face
OF the fact that 50 many men have
failed in their attempts to produce a
similar product, how can we be at all
certain that the new product viii

Social Feuds That Stir Nations Capt
tai

SOCIAL Eeu0S InaE Stir NaIlOn'S Capla
tai
Washington is always a nice, con-
venient place for a scrap, and there's
not a day goes by but that il sees one.
If the row Is not political, It is sure
to be social That IS the character Of
the latest fuss and it is a veritable
little tempest in the 5 O'Clock teapot.
There was a time when Washing
ton society was so ancient il was mold
". It was naughty and tyrannicaI.
It was made up Of those who looked
down upon families OF the revolution
ary period as new and who claimed 4
primOrdial ancestry that would put
Gilbert's proud POoh-Bah in the class
OF social climbers
That was ''befo the wah." Since
then blue blood has gone out and well
low gold come in. Washington IS the
Mecca Of the wealthy and ambitious.
There isn't another spot on the globe
where more social glory can be had
for money. The diplomats, who look
upon American class distinctions as a
huge joke, 90 where they have the
warmest welcome and the coolest bot
ties. And where they go the throng
follows. The biggest spender is the
top OF the heap, says the IndianapO-
lis Star.
But the ''blue bloods" are good
fighters The pedigreed dame prods
the wealthy woman, who has come
up with her family tree. She uses
it as a social big stick and gets IN some
good whacks with it She has done
this so much OF late that the smart
set''-the one OF millions and balls and
spreads and costly cotillion favors-
has begun a war Of retaliation.
Some Of its leaders, such as Mrs.
Thomas z. Walsh, Mrs. Richard Town
send and the Letter family, have snub-
bed the leaders Of those exclusive pa
triotic organizations which can be
reached only by climbing up the
branches Of the family tree. They
have overawed the women Of the cabi-
net, several Of whom have refused to
join the D. A R., or the Colonial
Danes, although abundantly pedi-
greed for admission. 1t would put
them in opposition with these women
OF wealth whose power is felt in poll
tics as well as the social world.
The fight IS a pretty one from the
standpoint Of grit, but il is too one
sided to last long. London capitulat-
ed long ago to mere money, and il is
catering to wealth more than ever
since Edward came to the throne. He
is a grateful man and tn Jse who help
ed him in his 1ardup days as the
prince have his helping hand now.
The continental cities bow to riches
in like manner, and Washington's
shadOwy aristocraey hasn't the ghost
OF a chance in the long run against
money in bulk
If the "old families" don't wish
their family trees cut down with gol-
den hatchets they had better put
them out in the backyards where they
viii not irritate Mr.. and Mrs. Croesus
as they motor by.

He Was a College Man.


A member OF the University club,
the story goes, dropped into one Of
the hotels Monday night to see II a
friend from the east had arrived. He
found no trace Of his Out-of-town
friend, but he found another, who
asked him to have a drink They re-
paired to the bar-room and had num-
erOus drinks. Half q dozen highballs
made the U. G. man little full. Then
he decided to 90 home. On his way
up the street he dropped into a saloon
TO have one more. At the bar he
found a young man drinking and the
two became engaged in conversation
They had never met before, but they
liked each other on sight After If

The Old New Year.

From Life.
There's a monotony about New
Years day, ''the nativity OF our COM
mon Adam" which casts all Hfe's 9TH
er mOnotonies in the shade. Ones
own birthday is a step from milestone
to milestone, and there is a definite
termination to the journey; It gets us
somewhere; whether we want to 60
or not; but the birthday OF the year
is our inheritance from a measureIess
past, and its sameness is the samsness
Of centuries. Perhaps Janus enjoyed
his little New Years cakes when kind
old Numa first set them smoking on
his altar. Perhaps the Romans Of that
PASTORAL period liked paying their
bills and making good resolutions and
giving undesirable presents to their
neighborss whenever this auspicions
day came round. There was a fresh
ness In mems hearts twenty-sevsn
hundred years ago which may have
inclined them kindly TO recurrent du-
ties and pleasures. And, after all
New Year was 2 novelty then
may be that not a single Roman p
had written Lines to the Dying Tsat
No Roman school child recftsd,

A Correction.

Last week, in reporting the case OF
a theft Of spoons and shears, IL was
stated that Enright gave the spoons
and shears to Mrs. Mollie Shaher,
which carried the wrong meaning. En-
right, who had the stolen property on
his person, was drunk, and without
knocking or without invitation OF any
kind, walked into the house where
Mrs. Shaffer is living with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. II. O'Brien, and
demanded a cup OF coffee. The strang-
er frightened the woman so that she
was afraid to refuse, and after drink
ing the coffee, he laid down the sill
verWare in the house against the pro-
test Of Mrs. Shaher, and remarked
that she must prepare a lunch for
him and he would be back in q little
while. As soon as the intruder left the
house, Mrs. Shaffer locked the door
behind him and called for the police
man. And when he drunkard re-
turned, the cop got him, and turned
him over to Sheriff Bradley. This pa
per had no intention to convey the
idea that Mrs. Shaffer willingly receiv-
ed the property.
