Synthetic Rubber.

It Is believed that plantation"
rubber will mature sufficiently in the
next five years not only to meet the
worlds demand, but to make rubber
d~isastrously cheap. Rubber is n
of those products that promises fay
orably for synthetic chemical con-
struction. Japan lost millions OF in
come through the invention Of max
ing synthetic camphor from oil OF
turpentine. This artificial camphor
is chemically identically the same as
the Jap camphor, made by steaming
camphor tree wood or shaVings and
condensing the steam and camphor in
cold water tanks. The same thing
happened to indigo. Millions of dol
lars worth were imported from India
every year. Two years after the in
vention of synthetic indigo the i'm
ports of real indigo fell to 100000,
and have been steadily falling until
natural indigo at its normal high
price is a drug on the market for the
new stuff, the Imitation" is the
same thing, chemically and practi-
cally. European chemists are work
ing to make synthetic rubber, and
some are pretty apt to strike it.

What Shall We Do For HOLSTERS?

approximately 10000 people have
supper in or near the Tenderloin each
night. Next year, when W Lob
ster LARS are built, the number is ex-
pected to increase to 10000. Several
thousand pounds of lobster, and sew
eral thousand quarts of champagne
(besides innumerable other things to
eat and drink are served by several
thousand walters every night. And
in the morning there are several thou
sand empty pocketbooks and several
thousand aching heads.
You have doubtless heard Mr.
James ]. Hills shrewd epigram to the
effect that it is not so much the high
cost of living which ails the United
States, as the cost of high living.
The cost of eating lobster must in
crease. The demand grows, but the
supply diminishes. Millions of pounds
of lobster are caught along our coasts
each season, but the Government sta
tistics show that, despite the work Of
various fish commissions, the avail
able supply has shrunk more than
fifty per cent. within the past three
years. In short, starvation stares the
Tenderloin directly in the double

Her Scalp Itched TntolerabIy.

Just about two years Ago., some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching,
but it grew steadily worse until, when
/ combed my hair the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to heal.
Combing my hair was positive tor
ture. My hair was long and tangled
terribly because Of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. 1 was
In despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, l would
scratch the worst places SO that my
%fnger-tips would be bloody. l could
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said itmust be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, I now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring eighteen
months ago, there was a slight return
of the scalp humor. l commenced
the Cuticura treatment at once, so
had very little trouble. On my scalp
/ used about one-half a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and half a box of Cuticura
Ointment in all. The first time I took
six or seven bottles of Cuticura Pills
and the last time three bottles-neith-
er an expensive or tedious treatment.
Since then l have had no scalp trouble
of any kind. Standing up, with my
hair unbound, it comes to my knees,
and had it not been for Cuticura /
should doubtless be wholly bald.
/. This is a voluntary, unsolicited
testimonial, and l take pleasure in
writing it, hoping my experience may
help someone else. Miss Lillian

The Crick.

One need not take the crick too
seriously. Every Londoner has got
it; some badly, others only slightly.
One does not say much about it be-
cause one pretends that it is not
there. OF course, if aeronautics and
aviation were to remain long in their
infancy, and the crick were to become
chronic, one would have to take steps
in the matter. But before very long
the news that an airship is to be seen
moving over the metropolis will not
be received with more notice than
the information that a motor bus will
be seen in the Strand. At the mo-
ment, however, the airship and the
aeroplane are a sort of mechanical
Halley's comet. A thing to be stared
at, ever if one has to wait hours to
do so. The crick means all that. And
more. With ome people it means
climbing out of skylights at the top
of very high buildings, walking peril
ously along the dizzy leads and
mounting the ultimate chimney
stack. Before n gets the crick that
way one has to become eligible for
the Alpine Club. With other people
1t means standing in Piccadilly or
Ludgate Circus, wheeling necessarily
this way and that like a spinning top.
With everybody the crick means the
complete dismissal of business for
the best part of a day. Whether you
see the aerial object or not, you get
the crick and even then you do not
complain of the pain in your neck.
You glory in it.-London Globe.

where white People Originated

Professor Gustav Retzius says the
result of an anthropological fnvestiga-
ton carried out in Sweden does not
leave any possible doubt as to the
Swedish nation being the fairest OF
all investigated nations, unless the
inhabitants of Norway and Denmark
might compete with the Swedes for
that distinction.
From the inquiry the conclusion
may be drawn that Sweden was in
habited by the purest population OF
the North European (Germanic or
Teutonic) race branch to be found re-
naming in our time.
This result has served as a support
for the theory that proclaimed Scan
dinavia and the region adjacent to
the southern part of the Baltic as the
original home of the Teutons Ger
mans), in opposition to the dogma,
so long accepted as incontestable, OF
their-ror rather the Aryans-having
originated in Asia, the Indo-Germanfc
theory OF the philologists.

KING GEORGE Y. PROCLAIMED
Brilliant Ceremony From Balcony
of st. James Palace.
People of London Sing "God Save the
King" With Accompaniment OF
Booming Cannon.

London.-With time-honored cere-
monies of a most brilliant and i'm
pressive character George V. was pub
licly proclaimed King of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
and the British dominions beyond the
seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor
of India.
At the stroke OF 9 Jour heralds ar
rayed in medieval uniforms of scarlet
heavily braided with gold mounted
the balcony of the Friary Court, at
St. James Palace, where Queen Vic
toria presented herself to the people
upon the opening of her memorable
reign, and blew a fanfare through
their long silver trumpets.
The precincts of the palace by this
time were crowded with a great mass
of people. many of whom could obtain
but the briefest glimpse of the pro.
ceedings. The balconies and roo1s O.
the ancient palace, which had Deen
draped with red cloth, were reserved
for the notables, all of whom were IN
the deepest mourning.
Members of the royal household,
the ministers and their wives and
high officers of state, all in brilliant
uniforms, were gathered around the
court. GenerafSirJo John D. P. French,
with the headquarters staff in full
dress uniform, stood surrounded by a
troop of horse guards in their red tu-
MICS and breast plates OF polished
steel.
From the windows of Marlborough
House, Immediately opposite, n
Duke of Cornwall, the young heir TO
the throne; the younger princes and
Princess Mary watched the ceremony.
Sir Alfred Scott Scott-Gatty, garter
principal king of arms, with the Duke
of Norfolk and two officers bearing
the slaves of office, stepped to the
front of the balcony and in a voice
which could be heard across the court
and in the streets adjoining read the
proclamation, while great throngs
stood uncovered in a drizzling rain.
The duke and Sir Alfred then called
for three cheers for the king, and the
people responded with hurrahs, which
were silenced only by the reappear-
ance of the heralds, who sounded an
other fanfare. Then the Coldstream
Guards band played God Save the
King"
AS the national anthem was con-
cluded the first gun of the battery in
st. James Park belched forth a royal
salute, and the people in the square
and streets at the same moment took
up the refrain, God Save the King.
This was the most impressive part OF
the ceremony, the fervent singing OF
the crowds, which first reached those
in the balcony as a hum, growing in
volume as more and more singers
Joined in, while at minute intervals
the gun half drowned the chorus.
The people having concluded the
singing of the national anthem turned
toward Marlborough House and re-
newed their cheers for the king as he
stood at the window with Queen Mary
at his side. A moment later His Maj
esty lowered the blind.

from which, owing to the extreme
shortness of the Kings neck, 1t was
impossible to afford him any relief
throughout his Illness. To the end he
was not in bed, but in a half-sitting
and half-reclining position on an in
valid couch.

the royal family and the doctors,

ager Queen Alexandra being led away
by the new King and Queen, who
shortly afterward returned to MARI
borough House.
The End is Announced.
Just at the stroke of midnight the
crowds massed at the palace gate saw
a carriage drive swiftly out and
caught a glimpse of the Prince and
Princess of Wales-the former then
the reigning King-within, haggard
and grief stricken.
A few minutes later one of the
Court officials left the palace.

condition being critical true?p asked
one in the throng.
"The King, SIR" was the quiet re-
ply, sis dead"
Yet in the silence of the night,
though stricken beyond belief, the
hundreds stood mute about the palace
gates, loyal and sympathetic in their
sorrow.
The actual illness from which the
King suffered was an asthmatic car
diac affection.
The King died as he had lived-in
harness. He refused to stay in bed
on Friday morning, but got up, and
ever transacted business as usual,
with Lord Knollys, his private secre-
tary.
He faced his illness, the Times
says, with courage and determination,
and except during his attacks of
coughing a1d choking conversed as
usual. He had a bad paroxysm of
coughing in the forenoon, and in the
afternoon such paroxysms required,
until in the evening the attacks took
the form rather of a failure of breath
and he became comatose, but
throughout he remained up.
Outside the palace early in the
afternoon long strings of motor cars
and carriages had begun to fill the
courtyard of the entrance in Buck.

court back before the war in the lit

a cloudy spring afternoon and a very

great law books and broke into grand
flights of eloquence, while Judge
Taliaferro listened solemnly or gazed
out of the window at the approaching

Birds of

The world emits a Shakespeare, a
Shelley or Goethe but seldom. We
cannot expect every decade to produce
a poetic genius. But what we are
hearing in our literary world tO-da!
is perhaps just as remarkable as
though there came a gush of exquisite
melody from some master singer. 1t
is a chorus of expert rhymsters, many
of them worthy of a fame they will
not achieve, but which would surely
have been theirs had they lived fifty
or a hundred years ago. These are
the poets who chant or chirp in the
magazines or the columns of the daily
paper. They may not be nightin-
gales, or gifted with the divine sweet
ness of Shelley's skylark, but they
are songsters all the same.-Phila-
