In French method of rubber recov
cry, that of c. de Villers, pneumatic
tire covers or other rubber fabrics are
placed in a closed vessel containing
tetrachlorethane, and this is heated by
steam or otherwise To remove uncOm-
bined sulphur, the heating continues
only until the sulphur is dissolved, the
solvent being poured off before the
rubber is attacked. Fresh solvent IS
kept at the boiling point of the liquid

Vast Wealth Wasted.

The extent of the waste which has at
tended the lumber industry of this
country is just being appreciated and
efforts are being made to correct the
matter. PrOprietOrs of many of the
largest sawmills are installing special
apparatus to save material which was
formerly wasted or sent 10 the burner.
The price of paper has risen so greatly
since the outbreak Of the European
war that paper pulp manufacturers are
becoming more and more interested i'm
the utilization of wood waste. When
ii is realized that more wood is wasted
than actually utilized in our great lum-
Der industry, which uses 10000. 0OO.OO
board feet year. il is seen that there
are great opportunities to save this
waste. over 100000 cords of slabs.
SawduSt, edgings and other mill waste
were used for making paper pulp last

MEXICO AND UNITED STATES

The relations of the United States
with Mexico became more strained
during 1916 than at any previous time
during the years of Civil war that fol-
lowed the retirement of President Por-
firio Diaz. They approached a crisis
early in the year when, on January 10.
nineteen men, nearly all of them
Americans, were taken from q train
near Chihuahua and killed by a band
of bandits.
Conditions became still more tense
when, on March 8. several hundred
bandits led by Villa raided and burned
the town of Columbus, n. NJ, killing
nine American civilians and eight Uni
ted States soldiers. March 10, PreSi-
dent Wilson ordered 5000 United
States troops into Mexico to catch
Villa.
General Carranza, head of the de
facto government in Mexico, began
soon to display antagonism toward the
i American expedition and on March II
he issued orders fOrbidding American
troops from entering Mexican towns.
He also refused to grant permission
for the American forces to use the
Mexican railroads for the tranSporta-
ton of supplies.
April u, a detachment of United
States troops was attacked by Carran-
"a troops and citizens of Parral. Two
Americans and 40 Mexicans were kill
ed in the encounter. The following day
| CarranZa demanded the withdrawal of
| the American troops from Mexico, but
his demand was ignored. The pursuit
| of villa came 10 a standstill, however,
because of the hostility of Carranza.
May 81, General Carranza again de-
manded the withdrawal Of the United
States troops from Mexico on peril of
recourse to arms" and followed this
attack unless the troops were with
! drawn northward. The following day
re-enforcementS were rushed TO the
| United States troops in Mexico and
within a short time the expeditiOnary
force aggregated about 1900 men.
| June Is the war department ordered
all the state militia modified and with
in the next two weeks $4,000 of the
state soldiers had been rushed to the
| border
4 detachment of American troops
was attacked by Carranza troops at
I Carrizal. June 81, and twelve Ameri-
/ cans were killed and Il captured.
\ short time later Carranza aban-
doned his hostile attitude and in q
| conciliatory note to President Wilson
suggested the appointment of joint
commission to settle the dispute be,
tween the two countries. July IS
President Wilson accepted this pro-
pOSal.

GERMAN SUBSTITUTES FOR RUB
Der TIRES.

Rubber being scarce in Germany
a number of bicycle tires
made of substitutes for rubber are re-
ported to have appeared on the Ger
man market, says the Popular Maya
zine. First came a tire made Of steel
wire about 3-16 inch thick, closely
coiled. with ends welded together.
This was high-priced, damaged pave
ments and ratified in use. Then came
three different types Of wooden tires.
the, cheapest being made of a single
piece of wood, while others are made
of wooden sections. Another type OF
wood tire has the outer surface COW
cred with leather strip. Steel
springs are used with all the wooden
tires. either In forks or between tire
and rim, which adds considerably to
their cost. Tires covered with leath-
er or with canvas, instead of rubber,
are also on the market. But the best
substitute Tor the rubber tire has Il
oth-bound, inner tube filled with q
solid Preparation resmebling rubber,
that is said to be quite elastic.
