Chicago, November l5.-(Spectal)-Blg profits actually realized in rubber grow inr in the tropics this year have started a new crop of wildcat stock jooolns con- cerns in Chicago where the wildcat mlne and the farms by mail industries have lang11ished of late.

 The situation in Chicago and New 1ork is similar to that in London where dlVi- dends will be begun this year by Eng fish ccmpanes and syndicates which planted rubber in Ceylon, Brazil and Mexico The wildcat companies are now defunet moribund and experience has taught some of the legitimate concerns sever lessons, the net result of which was an increasing investment in the rubber district of southern Mexico, the aban- donment of wild projects in South Anefl- ca behind the Andes and steady im- prevement in rubber growing in the far east. IL has been discovered that Para rubber is equalled in quality by the Cas- tiloa which grows wild in the tropical temperatures and alluvial soils along the rivers of Tabasco and Chiapas where the native Mexican had devoted himself to cocoa growing because of the prompt ond regular returns secured with little labor. One syndicate of prominent Chicago men lost a fortune in attempting to transport Para rubber from the headwaters or the Amazon over the mountains to west coast of South America Other losses were sustained in attempts at rubber tul- ture where the temperature or soil made rubber growing impractical Robet j. Kerr. a Chicago attoney who is an au- thorily on Mexico. in reporting to a syn dicate fixed a conservative figure of three pounds of rubber per year per tree as the production of young rubber teees now coming into being. On this basis 10000 trees are now yielding a profit of $250,d00 and that figure will increase rap idly and prodigiously as the trees become greater in age and size.

What blessings follow powder mill dis asters will be determined at Pleasant Prairie as a sequel to the calamity in which lives and property were suddenly ohliterated in a blow up that broke win dows in Chicago and for many mil es around. Agricultural experts are testing the merits of the claim that dynamite is as useful on the farm as blows if the subsoil is impervious to water. Accord ing to the claims of dynamite makers the tremendous jar at Pleasant Prairie should be expected to produce a phenomenal growth of crops and trees so that next summer those claims will have to stand or fall on the condition of growing things roundabout the holes where stood the powder magazines at Pleasant Prairie. If the roots of trees must pump up nearly 300 pounds of water to produce che pound of solid matter" one investigator said moisture is all important. In that case the great need is a spongy soil that vii. hold all the water possible. Dyna- mite blasting is said to prove a simple and effective remedy for this condition. The blast breaks up the hardpan and permits the roots to take their natural downward course into the lower strata of soil in which plenty of plant food ele- ments are available. Under these condI- tions one tree is not interfered with Ly another, each one receives the benefit of all of the soil allotted to it at the time the surface was measured and laid out at planting time" It has been claimed that young trees planted in dynamited holes will make two or three times as rapid growth as when planted in spade aug holes.

Fenton, vice president of the National Bank of the Republic at the annual meeting of tae clearing house in January, 1956, stated that he had come to the meeting prepared to offer resolution for the appointment of a clearing house examiner and in his remarks gave as one of inc reasons wllv there should be such an examiner the fact that within 10 years two or the largest national banks in Chicago had been closed between Saturday and Moh- day. The members of the association he said had a right to know whether any hank was in such condition as to jeo- nardize the financial interests of Chicago.

Tie American indian.

There is no more interesting proof Of
the Indians adaptabiIity to modern
ways than that the military stations Of
the west have lost their former impor-
lance. at the present time there is
not a single army post maintained east
of the Missouri river for fear of an
Indian outbreak.
When Europeans settled on the
American continent the Indian pOpula-
ton within what is now the United
States was estimated to be about
100000. In 1885 the commissioner Of
Indian affairs issued a report which
showed that there were $4,000 Of the
race in this country. There are now
about 100000.
But, while the latest estimates may
convey the impression that the race is
diminishing in number, careful inves-
tigatiOn shows that there has really
been amalgamatiOn on a very extern
siye scale. This has been particularly
noticeable in Oklahoma among the
Five Civilized Tribes.-Red Man.

golden brown, tobacco brown and cof-

mignonette and duck green. PUPPIES
comprise lavender purple, plum color

the current variations.
The scale of colors as now viewed
by German authorities includes new
shades Of violet, lavender purple, ecru,

For millinery purposes ranges of VIC

NOVELTIES IN
SPRING FOOTWEAR
High ButtOned Boots One Of
the Seasons FadS.

There has come a marked change in
boots, and because milady likes nov
city she intends wearing them until
warm weather actually sets in.
The novelty comes in the fact that,
instead of having only nine or ten but
tons or coming only three or four
inches above the ankles, the leather
now is high, SO very high as to sug-
gest hunting boots. Twelve or even
fourteen buttons are the thing, or
women who prefer lace boots may
have their favorite kind and still wear
the newest height.
On all sides one hears that it is to
be season of tan and brown foot
wear; that black boots for spring are
the exception save when woman's
costume necessitates them. This means
mourning literally, for even with an all
black suit tan may be worn.
Calfskin, highly polished, is best
liked, although among the novelties
come smart effects made Of buckskin

for keeping the latter leather soft and
renewing it from mud or wet Over
the spots a bit of coarse sandpaper is
rubbed lightly. 1t will rough the leath-
er to natural texture and will not wear
it out if rubbing is discontinued as
soon as the map" comes up.
White buckskin can be treated in the
same manner.
Much as tan is to be worn in the

Guard Your wife.
DR.. Jacques Bertillon, the eminent
French physician, has reached the
conclusion that matrimony is the great
est aid to longevity This, he says, is
established by statistics CLEANED from
all over the world. A married man or
woman has thrice the chance of a
good long life as a bachelor or a spin
ster In further illustration of this
contention the doctor shows that the
mortality among widowers is greater
than the average among married men.
Sc he recommends them to look out
for new partner-that is, if they are
under sixty. This is his advice to
young men: Marry; you viii do well,
even from a selfish standpoint But
watch carefully over yeur wife's
health. as even from this egotistieal
point of view her loss will be a terrible
misfortune, for your life depends in
q great measure on hers. : London

Chief Justice Whites WAY.

Chief Justice White, who is one of
the most amiable men in the world
off the bench, is a terror to the law
yers that appear before the supreme
court to argue cases. He can argue a
case himself in French. Spanish or
English and perhaps in some other
languages. He is a student of philol-
ogy, and when lawyer is thrashing
about as to the meaning of some word
the chief justice is apt to break out
with something like this: "Give the
Greek deriyative of it." A common
expression from the chief justice is,
illustrate it; illustrate it." To have
the chief justice lean over the bench
and explode a question under a green
lawyer is apt to make the latter lose
his feet completely.
