FEATs OF CHEMISTRY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACHIEVING
FAME OR FORTUNE OR BOTH.
Many Patents for Making Artificial
Rubber Have Been Issued, but
Price Still Remains the
Same.

1t was announced few weeks ago
that distinguished chemist of the
Imperial Technical School of Moscow
had solved the problem of making ar
tifcial rubber. and that he could sell
the new product at about Is 4d a
pound. according to Tit-Bits.
Yet. in spite of this widely dissent
mated piece of news. the price of rub
Der remains pretty much the same.
The reason may be found by examin.
ing the patent Office records. During
the last ten or twelve years nearly 300
patents for artificial rubber have been
taken out.
Substitutes have been made from
petroleum, from coal tar, turpentine,
peat, from nitrated linseed oil. and by
treating cereals with phyalin.
The latter invention made consid-
cradle sensation SO long ago as 1906;
yet, judging by the constantly increas.
ing demand for the natural product, It
has had little effect upon the real rub
Der market.
The chemist, working in his labora-
tory can take any substance and
analyze it-that is, break it up into
its original constituents and tell you
what they are. and how much of each
element the substance in question is
composed Of.
But when 1t comes to building up
the original substance out of its prime
constituents, there he Is at sea. BY
dint Of long and patient experiments,
or perhaps by pure chance, he may
succeed in reproducing some few nat
ural products. but that is as far as
he can go.
Indigo dye took many years to syn
thesize. A German chemist accom-
plished 1t at last, but the curious dis
covery was made that, If blended with
the natural product made from the In
digo plant. the color produced was
both more durable and brighter than
that made by either dye alone. So
artificial indigo has not yet ruined the
indigo planter.
At Delhi, the new capital of India,
stands an ancient iron monument
which. though exposed to all wealth
ers, never rusts or decays. Yet 1t has
no protective covering. Here is a Sc
cret which would be simply invalu.
able to the world, which has been dis
covered by some Indian artificer Of
old time and most unfortunately been
lost
At recent meeting of the Iron and
Steel Institute Mr. Cushman said that
we could face the future with COM
placency If we could rediscover the
secret. To shipowners alone 1t would
mean yearly saving of millions. Rust
Is the great enemy of the steel ship,

A Little Learnlno is panoerovs.


"A little learning is a dangerous

retary OF the Gaelic society, in New
York. This Is we'll understood by the
sincere student of the difficult Gaelic
tongue.
Il once knew student of Gaelic
who attempted, during visit to Scot
land, to read the commandments In
Gaelic at a highland service. He read
them through. but he was troubled by
the look of establishment that ap
peared on the faces of his highland

look of astonishment when he found
that he had made the trifiing mistake
of leaving out the word not in every

John F. Weber, who has so ably
guided the destiny of The GUARDIAN
since the removal of the owner,
John j. Birdno to Phoenix, has re-
tired from newspaper work and will
give his whole attention to looking
after his other interests. Many
friends regret that MIR. Weber has
resigned his post as editor of this
paper. His versatile writings were
looked forward to as happy weekly
treat in many homes, not alone in
the Gila valley, but in many parts
of the world.
B. f. Wood of Phoenix has ac-
cepted the management of The

best endeavor to keep the paper up
to standard. He has had a number
of years experience in newspaper
work and printing and it is hoped
he will prove a worthy successor to

houses.
Stafford is making strides toward
a more metropolitan city. Noun

ARIZONA LEADS

The Fort Thomas correspondent
20 the GUARDIAN hands in the fol-
lowing interesting facts relating to
the forage crop of Arizona. When
one stops to consider that this state
is just beginning to develop her re-
sources il will not be hard to believe
that Arizona will shortly lead the
world in many respects. Our cor
respondent writes as follows:
A perusal of the monthly U. S. bulle-
tin, Agricultural Outlook for Septem-
Der, reveals some amazing compari-
sons.
Arizona forage acreage raised four
tons of forage per acre for 1918, This
is six times what Missouri raised; five
times what Oklahoma raised; four times
as much as Indiana, Michigan and the
eastern states raised The yields, per
acre, nearest Arizona's average, were
Idaho, with two and four-fifths tons,
and Nevada, with two and three
fourths tons. Arizona got $l1.50 per
ton for hers; Idaho got $500; North
Dakota, $500; South Dakota, SIS. 80;
Nevada, $500; Utah, So. SO, and New
Mexico, $13.00 To be sure Rhode Is
land got $22. so and Massachusetts,, $40. 10
for their hay which was mostly timothy.
Arizona received seventy-five per
cent more than any other state for
her apples and more than three times
the average price paid in the entire
United States.
In Arizona, the price for potatoes
for September has been $l.30. Near
est her stands Florida with $1.2S. Our
sister state, New Mexico, gets $l.20.
California received but 65 cents.
No other state came any where near
us in price received for our corn, ex-
cept Montana, which state received the
same amount, $l15. Our fve-year
average has exceeded all other states,
including Montana, standing at 81. 10.
We got $1.09 for wheat. New Mexico,
80 cents. Georgia and Florida, alone,
exceeded ours. Florida paid $1.20 and
Georgia SLIT.
We may be dense; but if there isn't
some advertising dope for the Stafford
Chamber of Commerce in such authori-
tative statements, tits passing strange.

QUEER PEOPLE

1t is certainly queer people,
these people Of the United States.
They elect democratic president;
a democratic congress; a democratic
senate; and all upon a pledge of
tariff reduction ard reformation
Of the banking laws of the country,
and because these same democrats
are really doing that which they
were pledged to do, and were elected
to do, there now comes howl from
various sources that certain inter-
ests are being jeopardized through
these tariff reductions. OF course
this Iamenting comes from the OPP
position who elected Taft upon the
promise Of tariff revision, but it will
be remembered the G. o. p. plat.
form did not mention which direc-
tion the revision would take. The
people were not long in finding out,
however, for no sooner was the re-
suit of the election known than an
upward movement in the tariff was
begun. Last year the people had
another opportunity and they gave
the democrats a chance, who are
making good in a popular move
