euavuIe. the Rubber Plant.

Guayule was for years overlooked
or despised; its rubber content was
considered of little or no value, and
when at last acknowledged this was
said to be inferior to other rubber be-
cause it did not come from the topics.
Yet in spite of all guayule has become
an important source of rubber supply,
millions of dollars have been invest
ed in the industry, factories have been
erected close to the guayule fields and
towns have grown up for the opera
tives and field laborers.
Every process of the production OF
rubber from the plant has been devel-
oped into a system; even gathering
the shrub receives more care than at
first; but the essence of the whole
problem, that is, the propagation OF
guayule so that a continuous supply
may be assured, Is as yet unsolved,
and if once the land is completely
cleared and the chances of renawal
lost the industry will wither and die,
and the busy areas of today vii. be-
come depopulated and revert to the
wilderness.

STOMACH FULL OF TACKS

Abraham Leconey, a shoemaker at
Delanco, N. j., was taken to a Phila-
delphia hospital the other day for
"tack-lifting" operation upon which
physicians are relying to save his life.
For nearly a year Leconey has been
suffering from stomach ache. All the
home remedies failed to relieve him,
and the puzzled doctors proposed an
X-ray examination. The spotlight re-
vealed about 100 brass tacks sticking
in the walls of the shoemaker's stom-
ach He admitted that for several
years he had used his mouth for q
temporary tack box while at work at
his bench, as shoemakers do. and
said he remembered swallowing a
good many during the last ten years.
Surgeons say one section of Leconeys
stomach has more tacks in it than the
sole of boot
