THE STATE FROM DAY TO DAY

OF interest to Johnstown people is
the article in the current issue of the
newspaper magazine, The Fourth
Estate, in which Frank Leake, form
erly an advertising man of Ohio, just
released from the penitentiary, de-
clares that he will become a BILLY"
Sunday and that liuuor is responsible
for the downfall of S5 per cent. of
criminals.
Speaking of BILLY" Sunday, we have
often wondered, with all due respect
to the famous evangelist and his
aggressive record, why some enter
prising dispenser of "sassyprilla" never
took it into his head to concoct a
beverage in honor OF the old-timer
and call 1t billie Sundae."
Presumably the river felt Just u
little out of it with everything else
going up in price, and so took it into
its head waters to rise. 1t is way
above par now and still going.
Lovers of birds will be interested in
the information which comes from the
State Sanatorium at Cresson to the
effect that the Keystone Scouts, an
organization composed of boys and
girls who are patients at the institu-
ton, are to create village of bird
houses at the hospital as a place of
refuge and comfort for their little
feathered friends.
Major-General Leonard Wood was in

branch of the National Security
League.

HOPE IN FUNSTON

TUST now there is no immediate
success in sight for the expedition
sent into Mexico to run down
Villa. 1t is like hunting for needle
in haystack. But with Funston in
command no such thing as ultimate
failure need be feared.
If ever there was darling of the
gods" Funston fills the bill. TO a few
men, and to only few, fate presents
herself in so adventurous, picturesque
and successful guise as she has to
Frederick Funston. lie has faced
death a thousand times from the
arctic to the equator and has come
off not only alive, but conqueror.
After blazing the way for millions
of gold-seekers in Alaska and travel
ing thousands of miles across that
frigid zone. with only Indians and wild
animals for company, Funston thought
to enter commercial life and became
coffee planter in Brazil where he
scored his only failure. Like Grant,
he could win battles but he could not
make business profitable. Then fol-
lowed his adventurous career as chief
artillery officer for the Cuban rebels
against Weyler; his campaign in the
Philippines in command of the
Eleventh Kansas, which eliminated
in his capture of Aquinaldo and his
promotion TO be brigader-general. Al

more, and now again in Mexico

REAL ANIERICANUSNI

MOT all the jewels of political wis
IN dom are scattered on the floor
of the Senate or House of Rep
resentatives. Senator Wadsworth. of
New York, in an address to the
Vaughn Glass at the Calvary Baptist
Church. recently, had this to say:
We must have a system of edu-
cation in which the son of the rich
Will work elbow to elbow with the
son of the poor. We must learn to
understand one another. The slow
growth of poisonous class feeling
only tends to destroy our democ-
racy. The East must know the
West, the North the South, and the
rich man the poor man, in a coun-
try that is certainly Il wonderful
one to work for.
Just read that over again and COM
pare it with the fulminations of one
Frank Walsh, late chairman of the
Committee on Industrial Relations, a
deserving Democrat" who planted
dynamite in every section of the
country.

THE WORLD NEEDS SMORERUBBER
BY Frederic J. Haskin

NTITH millions of motorcars all
wv over the world eating up tires
and warning Europe using rub
ber hospital supplies and boots in
enormous quantities, the demand for
rubber and its price are both reach
ing heights unprecedented. Where
fore Uncle Sam, through the Bureau
OF Standards, is making a special and
very interesting study of rubber, with
view to standardiZing the product.
This is always a long step toward
cheapening any material, and is one
of the most important services that
the government renders to industry.
When the work is completed, the
manufacturer of rubber will be able
to order certain grade of rubber and
to know exactly what he is getting.
At present the Bureau is expert
menting extensively in the manufac-
ture of rubber, and is also testing the
manufactured rubber products now
on the market TO see how we'll they
are made, how honest the material
in them is.
A complete rubber mill equipment
has been set up at the Bureau of
Standards, and every process of
manufacture is being studied with
view to perfecting it. Perhaps the
most important development TO date
is the nitric acid process which the
bureau has evolved for the reclaim
ing" of scrap rubber. BY this process,
old rubber may be made over into
a product that is better than some
of the grades of fresh rubber. The
importance of this discovery may be
gauged from the fact that about 1884,
900 tons of scrap rubber from worh-
out automobile tires alone will be
put on the market in the United
States this year. This particular pile
of junk will be worth about $25.000
900. Then there will also be about
$4,000 tons of old rubber shoes and
boots worth about eleven cents q
pound. and good many thousand tons
of old airbrakes, rubber hose, in
sulated wire, and other manufactures
of rubber. In view of this immense
crop of rubber junk, and the extreme
scarcity of new rubber, the Bureau
of Standards can hardly render a
greater service to the industry just
now than by developing new ways of
using this scrap.
An elaborate mechanism for test
ing rubber in its various stages of
manufacture has been set up at the
Bureau of Standards. Its elasticity is
of course one of its most essential
qualities, and this is tested most
thoroughly. There are machines
which will stretch a piece of rubber
at the rates of inches a minute, 25
| inches r minute and As inches n min
ute. The uniformity of the pproduct in
this regard is tested by n machine
which stretches six samples from the
same batch at the same time. In the
case of hose and other fabrics treated
with rubber. the hbers and threads
used as basis are carefully examined.
Chemical tests show exactly what in
gradients were used in vulcaniZinp
and otherwise preparing the rubber
In the last twenty years, rubber has
attained a place in modern industry
which makes it Indispensable to q

CENSORSHIP

TIME censorship which the War De-

Mexico cannot possibly exceed the
severity of the censorship which the
State Department has constantly exer-
cised over the publication of all in

movements in the Mexican case.

THAT PENBRooK ROAD

TT can't be possible that Pembroke
is going to permit the time limit
set by State Highway Commissioner
Cunningham to pass without agreeing
to accept the State aid offered for
the paving of the main street through
that town.
In a recent speech before Congress
Representative William P. Borland, of
Missouri, said:
Good roads are the golden chain
that binds the nation together for
prosperity or defense. They tighten
the burden of transportation, re-
duce the cost of living, raise the
value of farm land, increase the
national efficiency, provide for the
common defense, build up the
church and school, Danish the isola-
tion of rural life, and spread pros
perity, intelligence. and social ad-
vantages throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
Does Penbrook want to cooperate
in such movement? That a majority
of its people do seems certain, and the
rest should be made to feel the weight
of the majority.

Men active in Republican affairs
have given up all hope of avoiding a
contest over members of the Re-
publican State committee and the
point of interest in the preliminaries
of the battle is what figure Colonel
Roosevelt is going to cut. The Colonel
has intimated that he will keep out
of the State but he is just as liable to
come in, horse, foot and dragons.
Pittsburgh newspapers which have
been giving much attention to the
harmony stories are coming around
to the belief that the issues will be
fought out at the primaries and point
TO the interest being taken in the
affair by the Democrats. Thoughtful
men are watching the activity of the
leaders who left the Republican party
to be progressives in 1912 and who
are now willing to jump back. These
men are fomenting the trouble every
where they can and apparently
watching for a chance to put them
selves right when the time arrives.

While the republican papers
never fail to mention that the
democratic majority in the House
of Representatives has been some
what reduced, they invariably
fail to proclaim the fact that the
democratic majority in the Senate
has been increased, by virtue of
the recent elections. The Senate
is where we have most needed
strength and this has been. ac-
complished by the recent election
of democratic senators in the
states of California, South Dakota
and Wisconsin. As it is, the party
will have fair and comfortable
working majority in both branches
of congress.-Monitor, Glendive.
