Hancock had also allowed little

he had garnered a British patent for
the same method, and thus prevented
the Haywood Rubber Company from
sending rubber shoes into England
several years later, by claiming in
fringements on the British patents
Finally, however, this was with
drawn, and the American firm was
granted the right to sell the Ameri-

Taft Plans Message to Congress.

Washington, Nov. S.-President
Taft today began outlining the mes
sage he is to send to the next con-
gress. He plans to make it a resume
/ OF the policies his administration has
advocated but which have not yet
been adopted. There will be only 81
working days in the coming session,
excluding Wednesdays, which are de-
voted to special calendar bills, and
the presidents realizes the necessity
Of swift work.
The president intends to shift to
congress responsibility for his legis-
lative program, believing failure to
adopt it will give the republicans an
opportunity to blame the democratic
members of the house. He proposes
to send general message and spec
ial messages to the legislators
throughout the session. Taft spent
much of today in conference with his
cabinet and the situation was thor
oughly canvassed.
President Taft's recommendation
will reduce tariff reductions for GER
tain schedules. Other recommends
tions that he will make follow:
Supplementary legislation to the
Sherman antitrust law and federal
incorporation acts; a new treaty with
Russia; workmen's compensation law
and industrial insurance; restoration
of the tariff commission; an eff
cheney commission; extension Of the
civil service; adoption of the budget
system of appropriations; an extra
new battleship Immediately and three
annually thereafter; Notifications of
the Panama canal and a law permit
ting foreign nations to appeal to the
United States supreme court from
the free toll concessions given Amer
lean coastwise vessels; international
investigation into the high cost of
living; development of Alaska; a ship |
subsidy bill; creation of an army and
navy reserve and increasing the pres
ent infantry and cavalry force; pro-
lection for Indians and purchase of
foreign homes for American diplo-
mats.

THE STORY OF RUBBER
History of Plant That Plays Impor-
tant Part in the Electrical In
dustry Is Interesting.

The history of rubber, which now
plays such an important part in the
electrical industry, where it is used
for waterproofing and insulating
purposes, begins with the discovery
of America.
Soon after the adventurous ships
of Spain returned from the New
World a number of small gum balls
were exhibited in Europe. These
balls were used by the natives of
America in game akin to lawn ten
mis-. For long time no use was
made of this rubber and it was taken
across the ocean and exhibited as a
curio.
1t was not until the year 1886 that
scientists began to experiment with
rubber. For 25 years they worked
to find solvent for the gum and at
last Herissont and Macquer dissolved
caoutchouc in oil of turpentine, rec
titled over lime, and obtained a mass
that allowed the rubber to regain
its elastic state. Ether was also
used. Prestly the great discoverer
of oxygen, in 1910, found that rub
Der made a good eraser for pencil
marks. Two years later, Magellan
induced the French to use rubber
| commercially, and it's price was S.
an ounce. In 1898 J. Howison dis
} covered a rubber tree in Penanh
province, and DR.. RoXburgh an
nounced another tree in Assam prov
ince.
In 1871 Peal had already taken
out the first patent connection with
rubber for the application of dis
solved rubber to waterproofing. A
second equally useless patent was
obtained 29 years later by Thomas
Hancock, April 20, 1920. In 1928
Charles Macintosh received the pat
ent on waterproofing fabrics by dis
solving rubber in coal oil, and built
the first factory in Glasgow, remov-
ing later to Manchester.
The fact that all articles made
would not stand the stress of heat
and cold led a German chemist, Pro-
fessor Ludersdorf, to the discovery in
1882 that sulphur, mixed with rub
Der dissolved in turpentine, removed
all viscosity from the rubber.
Then, in 1889, Nelson Goodyear
an American, solved the riddle of
the rubber question. He discovered
how to produce rubber objects that
would withstand all extremes of cold
and heat. Nathan Haysard, his friend
and partner, one day accidentally
dropped some rubber mixed with sui
phur upon heated stove. When he
picked it up it was noticed that the
sulphur was absorbed by the rubber,
which kept its elasticity when after

I'd like to tell some of your readers
of them.
For washing windows, take a pan
of cold water, add a small half cup
of coal oil. With a couple of clean
cloths to dry and polish with l can
wash three windows to one in any
other way I've tried and it cleans the
woodwork just as quickly.
For sweeping, dampen sawdust or
salt with coal oil and sprinkle on the
floors (either carpet or stained
floor and they will sweep easily and
with no dust and it brightens colors
in carpets and keeps out moths.
For cleaning porcelain or zinc
sinks, bathtubs or washbowls, I've
found nothing as good.
Stopped-Up Drains.
A friend told me this and vouched
for its truth, and | think it well
worth passing along: Last spring
we moved into a house where the
drain pipes were clogged and water
would not run off. The former ten
ant said it had been that way for
year, and they had paid innumerable
plumbers bills trying to clear them
out, each cleaning lasting only a
short time. My husband, who is a
druggist, brought home pint bottle
of sulphuric acid, poured some down
/. the kitchen sink and bathroom pipes,
and in less than ten minutes they
were clean as could be. This discov-
cry has saved us many plumbers
bills.".
