TALES OF THE TELEGRAPH.

Great harrington, Mass, is all
wrought up. The Commercial club
gave banquet, and imported three
New York chorus girls to entertain
the banqueters. The girls appeared
along about 1890 o'clock in the even
ing, and danced, sang, told stories,
and, possibly, acted little "fresh"
with the men. The story got out, and
the talk" has become nation wide.
"They say the girls wore tights, and
their bodices were cut as low as ma
ture would permit. at is said" the
ladies were "highly decked in paint
and power. This terrible statement
is true according to Miss May Wilson,
one of the chorus girls, who says what
did the members of the Great Bar
rington Commercial club expect when
they invited chorus girls to entertain
them. However, the New York
chorus girls give the Great Barring
ton Commercial club smash They
say the cocktails served at the ban
quet tasted like the punch at wom-
ans reception. Crushing?
Judge Learned Hand, of the United
States district court in New York, is
mad. Juliet Britung, daughter of a
rich New York man, secretly married
a chauffeur. She is seeking divorce
in Judge Hands court. The New
York papers in reporting the divorce
trial told what happened in court, and
told, also, things in regard to the case
which did not get into the court;
things which are looked upon as
| news" In the opinion of Judge
| Hand the papers had no right to print
anything about the case except what
took place in the court room. He
said the account given in the papers
would prejudice the jury, and so dis
missed the jury and called the case,
as far as it has gone, "mistrial." !"
Of course the expense of Judge
Hands so-called "mistriaP will have

expensive for the taxpayers, and all
because the newspapers did not cen
sor the news for jury of twelve
men. 1t would have been less expen-
sive had Judge Hand kept the papers
away from his jury. The world moves
on even if a jury is sitting in case
where foolish girl wants to be di-
vorced from a chauffeur.

Vala, witch, casts a charm over the

MORE THAN 5000 LEAVE
NEW YORK FOR EUROPE
Passengers Pay No Attention to
Warnings That Liners May
Be Torpedoed.

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE largest
number of transatlantic travellers to
leave New York in a single day this
spring had booked passage on six big
liners leaving port today.
Apparently the notice, published in
New York papers today over the sig
bassy. reminding passengers that YES
sells flying the flags of the allies are
liable to destruction in the war zone
around the British Isles had no effect
on the travelling public. 1t was esti-
mated that more than 5000 persons had
reserved sailings today.
When the Lusitania sailed she had
aboard 1910 passengers. A number of
the passengers received kilograms at
the pier, signed by names unknown to
them and presumed to be fictitious, adj
vising them not to sail, as the liner
was to be torpedoed by submarines.
Among the persons who received such
telegram was Alfred c. Vanderbilt.
He destroyed the message without com
ment.
The advertisement read:
Travellers intending to embark on
the Atlantic voyage are reminded that
state of war exists between Germany
and her allies and Great Britain and
her allies: that the zone of war in
cludes the waters adjacent to the Brit

RUBBER PAVING FOR STREETS


81 QUIETER city Is the desire Of the
~ people and governments of many
q cities, and the achievement in
this direction has been rema * a BILE.
Within the memory OF living men there
was little inclination to restrain urban
noise or noise making. Uproar was
considered as inevitably incidental to
or characteristic of a city. A city
measured its prosperity. its business
and it's claims to civic distinction in
terms of noise. Cities were proud of
their uproar. of their smoke and of
their traffic congestion. Streets were
paved with cobble or rough stone
blocks and a little later with granite
blocks. and the wheels of drays, trucks.
omnibuses, carts and wagons were
steel-tired. Hawkers and barLar
raved without let or hindrance. bells
were tangled and horns and whistles
were blown
Now comes proposition of rubber

shall be paved with rubber to further
reduce the sound Of traffic At the
fourth international rubber and allied
industries exhibition at London the

One of the exhibits at the exposition
was writing room in which the walls
were covered with rubber that looked
like wall paper. the pictures were in
rubber frames, the carpet was of rub
Der and the tables. chairs blotters.
paperweights. letter racks. wristbands
and penholders were of rubber. There
were also rubber window curtains
hung on rubber curtain poles.
The first thing to come into the mind
of a practical man in connection with
the question of rubber street paving is
the matter Of expense. The rubber
tire has put drain upon the natural
rubber forests which has immensely
raised the price of rubber, but this sit
uation is being met, at least in part,
by the rubber plantation-the cultiva-
tion of rubber trees. Forms of rubber
have been found in and extracted from
varieties of plant life other than rub

Der covering the floors Of corridors in

The world may enter upon a rubber
age, as 1t has upon a stone age, a
bronze age and q steel age. Rubber Is
a comparatively new contribution to
the worlds known useful things. Six
teenth century explorers Of the new
continent and it's islands wrote with
wonder that the natives of South
America played games with elastic
balls made from the emulation Of GER
tain trees" The strange substance be-
gan to engage the attention of Euro
pean chemists. principally in France
and in England. in the eighteenth CEN
fury. and it has been written that DR.,
Priestly was the first to discover it's
use as an eraser. 1t was in 1871 that
Samuel Peal took out patent for
waterproof1ng cloth by brushing hot
rubber over 1t. and in 1913 John Clark
made a contribution to the worlds
knowledge of rubber by dissolving it
in turpentine and using the solution in
the manufacture Of air beds. Charles
Macintosh of Glasgow in 1920. with a
solution Of rubber in naphtha, produced
that waterproof material which bears
his name today.
