AKRON, o., RUBBER
CAPITAL OF WORLD"


Akron, Ohio, December 22.--The po-
sition of Akron as the rubber capital
of the world" has been so well estab-
lished in the public mind that it IS
doubtful whether any one would ques-
tion seriously the claims Of the rapidly
growing Buckeye City to the distinc-
tion it has won. A recent valuation
Of Akron industries for property taxa
tion, completed by the auditing de-
partment of the county in which the
city is located, brings out with strik-
ing clearness the predominance of the
rubber manufacturing industry over
any other of the many that have
brought about an increase Of approx
imately 800 per cent in the population
of Akron during the past ten years.
The taxable value of the great plant
of the B. F. Goodrich company alone
amounts to almost half of the total of
s43,S96,440 placed upon the 16S indus
tries located in Akron and Summit
county. When it is remembered that
included in these 1863 industries are
such concerns as the Diamond Match
company and the Quaker Oats compa-
ny, it is possible to get an idea Of the
immensity Of the Goodrich company's
establishment.
Just how the rubber manufacturing
business dominates in Akron, and the
immensity of it. is shown by figures
given in "a recent article in one Of Ak
ron's newspapers, from which the fol-
lowing figures are obtained:
Total valuation of all Akron and
Summit county industries, s4S,S96,44O.
The B. r Goodrich company, $780,
S92,SsO.
The Goodyear Tire G. Rubber COM
pany, $76S1,7SO.
Firestone Tire & Rubber company,
$4,9e4,9SO.
Kelly y-Springfield Tire Co, $1,S71,-
$50.
Miller Rubber Co, $1,121,91O.
Portage Rubber Co, 1891, $50.
Swinehart Rubber Co, $459,270.
A total of ss6 6,22O,5SO credited to the
rubber manufacturing industry, more
than four-fifths of the entire manufac-
turing activities of Akron and its SUBJ
urbs.

London, Dec. 22.-The more eng
land digests President Wilson's peace
note the more bitter it feels. This
conclusion is drawn from editorials
in the afternoon papers here in de-
nunciation of Wilson's move.
The afternoon press is unit in
their resentment. The fullness of
their bitterness is particularly mani
tested against Wilson's assertions
that the objects for which all the bel
ligerents are striving are virtually the
same.
ut is singular that a statesman like
Wilson can labor under the delusion
that his move toward peace would be
welcomed by the allies" said the Eve
ming Standard
I'VE sincerely hope that President
Wilson is not i'll but we have doubts
about his physical we'll being" de-

State Board of Education Recommends
100000 for Additional Structures,
DOrmilOry Included
100000 IS SOUGHT
FOR MAINTENANCE
President Austin is Pleased and Looks
for Legislature to Be Liberal
10 Girls

Minus whiskers and a red nose, the
smiling face Of President G. w. Aus
tin, of the Oklahoma College for Wo
men, might easily have been mistak-
en- for that Of merry old Santa Claus
himself today when the announcement
was conveyed to him that the state
board of education asked an appropria-
ton Of 100000 for the college, includ-
ing 100000 for new buildings and
100000 for maintenance for the next
two years. If anything other than the
Joy lines which started at the center
Of his countenance and terminated
somewhere behind his ears was
needed to indicate his feelings Of
qualification, his words furnished 1t.
q can't deny the fact that I am feel
ing good over the prospects, said Mr.
Austin. ut Is true that we could use
more money than that to excellent
advantage but / am we'll pleased in
deed with the action of the board and
am sure that the amount suggested
viii put the college in a position to
make big step forward We could
fill tho proposed new buildings right
now and | hope that the bills making
the appropriations will go through
promptly in order that the additional
facilities may be available at the open
ing Of school next year. ] believe that
the Legislators are going to be dispos-
ed to be liberal in their treatment Of
the only school maintained by the
state exclusively for girls. The col
lege has outgrown its present capac-
ity and il the demands of the people
Of the state who desire to educate
their daughters in such an institution
as we have here are to be met we must
have more buildings. feel sure that
the legislature will take this view of
it,"
1t is understood that the plans Of
the state board cs.ll for another dor
mitory and fine arts building. The
latter building is even more needed
than a dormitory, President Austin
says. 1--WE haven't sufficient school
room in our administration building toa
properly take care Of the students we
have now and with increased enroll
ment that would come If we had an
other dormitory would be absolutely
swamped. We must have place to
teach the girls as well as a place for
them to live"
The fact that several hundred girls
who applied for admission to the o. G.
w. this year had to be turned away
because there was no room for them,
it is believed. will be one Of the argu-
ments that viii appeal forcibly to the
legislature when the bills for the de-
velopment and maintenance Of the
school come up FOR consideration.
The recommendation Of the state
board of education call for total ex
penditure Of $3,148,542 for construc-
tion OF new buildings, other improve
ments and maintenance Of the vari
Gus state institutions. Some OF the
main building items, in addition to
the one for the o. C. W., are as fol-
lows: State medical school, 100000;
auditorium at state university, $780,
900; two buildings for the school for
feeble minded at Enid, $4,000; Will
burton school Of mines, $4,000; school
for incorrigible girls, $4,000.
