of >isoprene our troubles were not
ended; on the contrary, they were but
beginning.
We were confronted with the pro-
blem of converting this liquid into
that tough, elastic. plastic colloid
which was to be successful substi-
tute for rubber, in truth it's very
counterpart. Theoretically the task
was easy because, as Beilstein says,
isoprene is converted into caoutchouc
by treating it with muriatic acid. OF
course, We tried that at once, but for
our pains we got nothing but oily
chlorides-not trace of rubber. We
were apparently defed.
We tried all sorts of likely and
imaginable physical and chemical
mediums in connection with isoprene,
but the wilful stuff refused to thicken.
Finally l discovered the power to per-
form this miracle hidden away in
heat There was nothing new in
heating isopfene, but the result we
obtained thereby was new. Other
authorities had tried heat, but all they
got was either an oily or at best a
resinous substance.

pulaski remembered that about

snatch their blankets. from the camp

they packed themselves like sardines

Joined in this international effort to
find an artificial process by which
rubber could be built up syntheti-
cally from raw materials readily
available, but to the Elberfelder Far
benfabriken belongs the distinction of
priority in the solution of the problem
DR.. Fritz Holman, director in charge
at Elberfeld, gives his own story of
the pursuit of the elusive key.
BY mere chance my attention was
called to this question or synthetic
rubber through a lecture delivered in
London about six years ago by Prof.
Dunstan. AS pharmaceutic chemist

that caoutchouc was based on iso-

hitherto generally been used. / had

stance thus differs from another of
the same chemical get up but with
its tiny units otherwise distributed.
''We soon recognized that the poly
merizing power of heat could be
furthered by numerous chemical ad-
mixtures, but we soon found that
there are many more substances that
work in opposition to this end. In
August of 1909 / obtained the first
rubber polymerized by heat in the
laboratory Of the Elberfeld works. In
September of that year / submitted
a sample of this material to DIR.
Gerlach. He was the first to confirm
that our product actually contained
caoutchoUc. A month later Harries
tested our synthetic material with
his ozone method, and by this means
was able to establish that our heat
polymerized isoprene was veritable

DR. Holman frankly admits that
should the extensive rubber planta-
tons cultivated under English direc-
ton in the Malay Archipelago meet
expectations synthetic rubber will not
be SO necessary in supplying at
more reasonable rate the present
market However, he says that the
synthesist has so adjusted conditions
that he can compete with his ware in

So much has been said about our
urban population growing faster than
our rural in the last decade that the
fact is quite well understood by now,
and yet our urban population in the
smaller centers did not make discour.
agingly leavy increases, so to speak.
as compared with communities from
100000 to 100000 inhabitants, says
the Omaha Bee. Their percentage of
increase was SO per cent. The COM
munities of 100000 and more gained
only 1922 per cent, and yet that Is far
beyond the rural growth of the entire
population of the country, whose III.
crease was only FL per cent. The log
ic of this drift toward the congested
centers must make us the more mind
full of the complex Social problems that
there arise to stare us sternly in the
face. They must be met. They can
not be evaded. Failing, as we thus
far have, to divert the streams Of in
ternal and external migration into the
larger open spaces of the country, we
shall have to treat them where they
are.
