Asbestos and Rubber.
From the India Rubber World

~ shS iiuih HuDDeT "OflG.
For the last few years this country has
been importing annually from GO. 600 to
.s.1o tons of asbestos, Of a value Of from
Sl,37S,o00 to si,:!e 900 to ST. SIS, 900, and
practically all Of this came nioa. Ccccac.
about 200 tons being imported from
Europe. In no year previous to 1914 has
the total domestic output amounted to
5000 tons. while the average is less than
1000 tons a year, and in 1913 and 1914
IT was less than 100 tons. Rubber man
0acturers are using steadily increasing
quantities OF asbestos. chiefly in ]packings
and automobile brake lining. The latter
Is a narrow asbestos fabric ~impregnated
with rubber and vulcanized. That it is
an important product may be inferred
from the fact that the 5000, 900 or more
automobiles in this country. and the 20O,-
0oo trucks, have certainly two. usually
four, brake Innings. The total length Of
such lining needed for a single car is
about 10 feet. This Of itself would make
about 81, 900. 900 feet. When it is con-
sldered that such Innings wear out in use,
and must be renewed, it will be seen how
is this one branch of the as
hestos rubber industry. The raw ma
terial is also used for clutch lining. About
SO per cent of 1916 models Of automobiles
have dry disk clutches. and while the
amount used for this purpose is small.
compared with that used for brakes, still
In the aggregate, this is, In itself, an i'm
portant addition to the business. There
are, of course, other uses for asbestos in
the rubber trade. All manufacturers Of
mechanical rubber goods use this ma
terial, chiefly in packings.

Scraps of Mexican History.

Something of the VicissitudeS of the life
Of Mexico may be gained from a brief
glance at a chronology OF important
events in the country OF a hundred revo-
lutions. After the subjugation of the Az
tees by the Spaniards. Spain attempted to
rule the country by enslaving the natives
and inducing the colonists to marry native
women in order hat a new race with Eu-
ropean blood in it might be established.
Various plans of government We're tried,
and finally the country was named New
Spain and made a yi~ce-royalty, Ga viceroys
ruling over 1t between 1885 and 1921.
Spain's purpose in retaining the country
was chiefly to exploit it without regard
for the future of the natives, but the ma
ttves were in practically a continuous
state of rebellion. In 1908 Napoleon shat
tered the military power of Spain and in
cidentaily deprived 1t Of the source Of its
power over the natives of Mexico. The ma
tives then had to decide whether they
would follow the usurper, Joseph Bona
partc, the revolutionary junta or the cap
tive king. But a taste for freedom created
a desire for more, and in 1910, under the
priest, Don Miguel Hidalgo, the creoles
rose against what was left of the power
above them. Thereafter the principal
events We're as follows:
loll. Illdd1SO was Lti1dleu, captured and
executed.
1913. His successor, another priest.
Morelos, proclaimed the independence of
Mexico.
1915. Morelos executed.
1921. After six years of revolution there
was a compromise between 1turbide. q ere
ole general against the revolutionlsts. and
Guerrero, the leader of the revolution. and
an independent limited monarchy was de-
cided on. The monopoiists refused to abide
by the terms. The viceroy sent a force
against Iturbide. The viceroy was de-
posed and another was sent who made
peace with Iturbide, recognizing Mexican
Independence. This viceroy died and the
home government ~repudiated his agree
mont.
1922. The first Mexican congress met,
Santa Anna proclaimed the republic.
ltlrbide sent a force against him. Itur-
bide proclaimed a monarchy, with himself
emperor.
1923. Iturbide betrayed and deported
He was induced to return and was then
shot.
1924. Constitution modelled on that of the
United States adopted.
1923. After four more years of revolu-
ton, emerged victorious.
1888. Spain defeated in an attempt to
%recapture the country. Guerrero deposed
by Bustamante. ne by Pedraza, he BY
F'arias and he by Santa Anna.

work of the Commonwealth Steel com

April bulletin Of the American Iron and
Steel institute. What is being done
for the workers in that concern is BAY
ing direct returns on the investment
as well as being of great indirect hene-
fit to the company and direct benefit
to the men.
Their plan is worth careful consider
alton by employers generally. They
found that drinking water was costing
them a lot Of money in summer time.
They found tina their bills for ice and
labor in connection with the water sup
ply averaged s6,7s5.2S for two years.
The men wasted a lot Of time in going
after water. Drinking ice water caused
some sickness. Every now and Their a
man was hurt handling the heavy ice
boxes. The conditions around the wa
ter coolers were not Of the best.
The company put in a filter and a
refrlgerating plant. Water pipes We're
laid and %bubbling fountains were placed
every so feet in the shop. The water

account Of saving in time Of a man

~ for the men.
The company has installed clean,
sanitary, comfortable toilets and ur-
mails easily accessible to the men at
their work. They appreciate the gain
for themselves as well as for the men
from having proper toilet facilities cas-
lily accessible. Where the toilets are
cold or can only be reached by going
out into the cold, the loss to the com
pany from constipation. headaches and

PREPAREDNESS IN
SUMMER TRAVEL

Plans for summer travel SHOULD be
based on the proper apparel with prop
er facilities for packing. Details for
comfort should be the first considera-
ton. A veil ~insures satisfaction IL Il
sudden automobile trip is thrust upon
a guest. A comfortable pair Of walk-
ing shoes is almost essential to a pic
mic day, planned suddenly. Shoes for
comfort should aways be included in
packing for the week end or an extend
ed visit.
A waterproof coat, with all outward
signs of a motor coat, is a real treas
ure for the traveller. An umbrella is
also designed for sun or rain and may
be secured in attractive colorS.
Lake visitors need all the equipment
for a 4 o'clock dip. Sun hats and sun
glasses for the beach prevent many
headaches. Summer furs answer their
purpose between dances at lake re-
sorts.
A work box, with thread and but
ton for the stitch in time,' is an
emergency safeguard.
A few cases for small articles nee
essary to ave- may be made of Gre
tonne or silk. They prevent anxious
moments Of searching when time is
limited.
Stationery, a fountain pen and
stamps occupy small space. but may
be instrumental in reuniting friends.

San Francisco and the kindergarten,

SdT TtatlSlSSO anu lI0 kindergarten,
Supported by the demands of individ-
ual citizens, Women's clubs, covic
organizations and the daily press, the
school authorities Of San Francisco
AVE recently recommended the sta
liShment of 20 additional kindergartens.
This means that when the estimate
they have presented to the proper au-
thorities has been formally approved,
approximately 1000 more children be-
tween four and six years old in San
Francisco will receive the well rounded
training which the Kindergarten gives,
through its play work, songs, games
and stories.
Until recently San Francisco has not
been as advanced as most large cities
Of the United States in providing public
education for children under primary
school age, having but II kindergartens
publicly supported. This was the more
surprising because it had the most
famous of the early kindergarten phil
anthroptcs: and for years no other
city had so many or uch generously
provided beneficiences Of this kind.
Two factors Of universal interest
tand out in the action Of the San
Francisco school board: The passage
of d new form Of kindergarten legis-
lation in California three years ago,
and the thorough canvass OF the state,
during the past two years, to arouse
parents and educators to the opportun-
ltles the new law brings.
California now has one Of the best
kindergarten laws in the country. 1t
says that whenever parents of rs chill
dren OF kindergarten age who live
within 4 mile Of al elementary school
want Il kindergarten, the way is open
for them TO get on simply by petition
ing the local educational authorities.
1t WAS not. however, until the law
had been brought to the attention OF
the people through systematic effort,
that II marked advantage was reaped
from its favorable provisions. A num-
Der of agencies contributed to make
the law effective. In 1914 a special COL
laborator Of the United States bureau
of education, who is also a field secre-
tary of the National kindergarten as
ISOLATION, began cooperating with par
ents and state and local chool officials
to bring about the establishment of
more classes through her efforts, and
the efforts Of citizens within and with
out the schools, the number of girls and
boys receiving kindergarten instruction
throughout California has practically
doubled since this extension work was
begun.
Los Angeles. which may be taken as
an example. now has 1873 kindergartens,
as compared with IA in 1912. Oakland.
which had only three kindergartens be-
for the law passed, has 80 at the present
time. a Francisco is the most recent
instance of a systematic campaign Ut
p~etitioning resulting in an increase n
isindv sgarten facilities.
