SUBSTITUTE FOR RUBBER
Continued from first page.

the different grains can be produced by
the new process at cost for any Of the
materials desired of from to II cents
q pound.
The particular industries to be af-
fected by the new invention so far as It
is worked out now are the rubber in
dustry and the cotton industry. Within
a decade rubber has become an absolute
necessity to every nation in the world.
BY the conversion of waste cotton into
hard rubber it is proposed TO save mill
ions Of dollars every year for the South
and for all cotton growing countries.
and at the sapne time to supply the ever
increasing demand for rubber products.
The new material has been tested here
for a year in the Commercial Museum
an institution which is accepted as an
authority on commercial problems. and
which comprises an investment through
state and government aid, from America
and abroad. of more than S3,OOO,OOO.
For years the museum has been in
vestigating the waste of cotton in the
South and trying to devise means to
utilize unopened cotton bols and the un-
used parts OF cotton plants. The new
process. it is confidently stated, solves
the problem.

Some $50 tons were put aboard to-day
and the steamer Immediately started for

WARDEN AT LUDLOW LIKED
Prison Commission Says Popula-
ton There Has Doubled.

Albany. Feb. 1.-THE appointment oi
a new warden who is anxious to have
increased burdens put upon him has re-
suited in almost doubling the population
of the New York County Jail, in Ludlow
street, according to report of President
Henry Solomon of the State Prison Com
mission.
Since the last inspection" says the
report, "a new warden was appointed
for this prison-Mr. Johnson-and nc
seems 10 be quite we'll liked, as the popu-
lation since his arrival has almost
doubled, there being on the day Of my
visit twenty-five prisoners. He is anx-
ious for more, and would like my former
recommendation put in force-namely,
that all federal prisoners who are now
confined In the Tombs be sent there in
stead. This would reduce the congestion
Of the Tombs, which is greatly desired.
There are thirty-two cells in this prison,
and II would be very advisable II this
suggestion were carried into effect"

ON MARRIAGE
Series of Them Arranged for the
Rockefeller Bible Class.
COURT HEARING RECALLED
Member of Glass Recently Up on
a Charge of Having Beaten
His Wife.

prominent member of the Bible class
presided over by John D. Rockefeller. jr.,
| at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church was
recently hailed into police couT. on the
charge of beating his wife. Yesterday at
| tie meeting of the Rockefeller class, held
| in the Sunday school room of the church,
1t was announced that series of fifteen
lectures. designated as special" would be
given for the benefit Of the class begin
ring on February 1S These lectures will
be grouped under the general head "On
Facts Necessary To Be Known About En-
gagement and Marriage"
The man who passed around the printed
announcements regarding the lectures made
no comment on the particular significance
Of such a series. following so sharply on
the heels Of the police court appearance
o. one Of the Bible class members for wife
beating. No spoken word was dropped
by any member of the class that would
give an indication Of the impression cre-
sted by the announcement. Many or the
Sunday school scholars, however. wore ex-
pressive grins, which, though silent, spoke
louder than words.
It could not be learned last night whether
the series OF lectures is relied upon to cor
rect the domestic manners of such OF the
class as are married or soon expect TO be,
but the fact that one OF the class had only
recently faced a magistrate on the COM
plant OF his wife still fingered in the minds
OF many.
AS an instance OF the broad instructive
qualities embraced In the series. some of
the titles Of the lectures are enlightening.
One OF the talks will be called THE Eco
nomical Basis OF Marriage; What 1t Costs" >"
Another will deal with the problem. What
Mans Income Should Be; Rents in New
York"
Still another talk will deal with the
query, What Dangers Face Him II he
Marries with Only Enough for One| NO
word is said as to what dangers the Wite
must face under similar circumstances; out
then, as 1t is pointed out. these lectures
are exclusively for men.
A lecture that promises to be OF exceed
ing interest has to do with What Things
Has a Wife Right to Demand or the
MANI" Nothing IS said here. either, as 10
whether the wife has the right to demand
that her husband shall not beat her
A talk that holds forth great promise to
the members Of the class, and one which
will be eagerly listened to- no doubt, will
have 10 do with the answer to the ques-
tion. why the Home Should BE Away
from Relatives, II Possible" Many of the
Sunday school students feel that they could
answer the question in the words, Mother
in-law," but they will be attentive listen
ers. nevertheless.
In discussing marriage with his Bible
jr, said: Get married as soon as possible,
but be sure to get wife who shares your
views of life. A young man should take
great care in choosing wife, as she can
make or mar his career"
