ARTIFICIAL RUBBER IN SIGHT

While the people of England have
rushed blindly into rubber speculation
and shares have been sold in planta
ton companies vet to be formed, a
German professor at kiel has invented
artificial rubber, and the British specu
lators are sitting up and taking notice.
There seem to be good grounds Tor
believing the professor has made an
important discovery, as he is a man OF
unquestioned reputation and an author
ity on the rubber industry.
The invention is based on the boiling
together, under certain conditions, of
isoprem with acetic acid. in a closed
gray composite possessing all the prop
critics OF pure rubber and capable of
being vulcanized in the same manner
as gutta percha. At present this arti-
fetal rubber has been produced only in
small quantities, but 1t Is the inventor 5
opinion that when his method has been
fully developed it will permit of the
placing on the market of an article at
one-thlrd the cost OF real rubber.
Practical experiments in this branch
Of chemistry have advanced so rapidly
that there can be no doubt that within
a few years an artificial substance Will
be produced which Will bring down the
inflated price Of rubber.
The great shortage of the world :
rubber supply and the steadily growing
consumption Of caoutchOuc, especially
in the making Of airships, accounts to
a great extent for the boom in rubber,
and should this inventor, who has pat
euted his method, be able to create a
commercial substance the effect will be
sensational.
The other experts Of Germany are
iubilant over this invention. They are
pointing out the fact that the reaIlza-
ton Of the plans Of the kiel professor
would signify a greater demand for
rubber articles, and therefore greater
industrial activity III, this commodity
would be the result. At present, owing
to the exorbitant prices of rubber, the
industry is suffering tremendously.
If artificial rubber in any consider
able quantity comes upon the market
the British bubble will burst in short
order, irretrievably running those who
engaged in the speculation and unset
tied the money markets of the world

Are large or small hats the most fash
ionable? is a question continually asked
and one that is hard to answer.
Naver was there a season when smaller
or rather more close fitting hats were
worn, and yet never was there a season
when such immense ones were fashiona-
ble and also the medium sized hat is
eagerly sought for. At one time it was
emphatically stated that small hats in
the daytime and large hats in the even
ing solved the problem, but now, with
the Oriental style of wrapped turban

pink, yellow. red and white, there Is no
material that is so satisfactory. A burnt
or Tuscan rough straw with the lace
around the crown and spray OF PINK
roses at the side looks equally we'll with
a light or dark gown and is Invariably
becoming, while the white or black en-
tire lace hat with aigrette or roses be-
slows the nishing touch TO dainty and
picturesque summer frock.
Strikingly Picturesque Hat.
An almost overpowering but it can
not be denied most picturesque hat
is of black erin trimmed with black lace,
pink roses and aigrettes or ostrich
plumes. Larger than any of last years
shapes, with higher crown than has been
considered in style in years, this remark
able construction nevertheless challenges
admiration and recalls the enormous
picture hats of the Gainsborough era,
when powdered hair, puffs and ringlets
were the accepted headgear of the day.
And this shape makes its appearance
just when we are told that smaller hats
are to be worn, but the lace softsns the
hard outlines and the general effect is be-
coming, and it Is certainly unlike any
thing yet attempted Only a word OF
warning. The fashion is one that requires
everything in keeping-the most expensive
and picturesque gowns, perfect figure,
fine carriage and great beauty-otherwise
the result will be disappointing.
The touches of color in the new hats are
most attractive and often make the hat
becoming when, because of shape or color,
of the straw, it would not be. A burnt
straw with touch of pink or with brim
faced with black is at once smart and at
tractive and extends these same two quail
ties to the wearer, when if left to only its
natural color the hat would have been
too trying except to perfect coloring OF
details that have been patiently studied
and worked out to make the expensive
hats of this summer.
