CA[|F FOR|V|A FAIR HAS
 AN AMBITIOUS PLAN

Ambitious plan sfor the California state fair. designed to place the lnsti- tufioE on par with the far famed annual exhibitions of Minnesota and other states. were outlined recently in statement by John Nj. Perry. pfes'- dent of the State Board Of Agricu;- ture.
 California should be ashamed Of it's present state fair" Perry said. "Ii. its state university it's state farm anc it's capitol buildings the s,ate has kept abreast of the times. but it's state fail has Jagged far behind smaller and poorer states The state far must grow"
 A permanent building plar has been formulated by the directors. Perry said. providing for e00. .00C pavilion to replace the one dcstoved by fire SlS5,090 grandstand. s75. 900 educa tional building S45.000 addition to the machinery huildipgs. s45. 900 addition to the manufacturers building. and a sif0 900 coliseum
 The pavilion has been approved by the board of control and p-ill proonbly pass this year An appropriation Is urgently needed. according to Perry. for the purchase Of about twenty acres essential 10 fulfilling the space demands of the fair.
 The directors are also working on a landscape gardening plan to beau . tify the fair grounds, and may turf the infield of the race track as polo field
 "A state fair is not q sectional ac- tivity." Perry declared. Sacramento the state tut 1t embraces the whole state. A real state fair would send the lure of California over the whol, rightly possesses it as the capital of land

THE STORY OF RUBBER

The average man believes that rub bei IS rubber. just as silver Is silver and ivory is ivory. but as matter Of fact. the different kinds Of rubber run into the hundreds. Originally. all rub
 Der came from the valley of the Anna zon. When II was discovered no one knows. At any rate when the first white men visited South America. they found the Indians playing with balls made from the emulation Of the bark of cretain tree. and these balls diff fered from any the Europeans had ever seen. for they bourded and re-
 bornded and were full of life The
 Indians also smeared this milk of ;hc tree on their blankets to make them
 waterproof.
 Two hundred years and more went
 by, and while many wise men be-
 lieved this elastic cohesive imper-
 meable substance ought to be full Of
 usefulness nobody found any way to
 use il to any advantage. It was so
 brittle in cold weather and so dis posed to get soft in hot weather But in the fullness of time d Con- necticut Yankee started to puzzle it
 out. IL took him the better part of ! ten years, but he did 1t. and in 1899,
 gave the world his vulcanization pro- cess-which is in use to this day. Up l to that time rubber was 30 cheap that ships from South America some times used it as ballast. taking their chances of selling it for what they could get in some American port ] With the discovery of the vulcanizing process. rubber took on a new value,
 and the tropics were searched for 1t
 everywhere. It was found in the { vines of Africa. and gutta Dercha. a
 sort of first cousin to rubber, was found in Borneo: and a few years ago
 q large volume of rubber was found in the Guayule shrubs of Mexico. AS rubber grew in value the chem 1 ists fell to work and devised ways : of recovering it from old shoes and 1 hose and other articles into which it | entered, and this reclaimed rubber i soon came to equal new rubber in volume; and all these varieties found some legitimate use. Gutta percha i makes unapDroachable insulation for ! ocean cables. Balata, which comes from the Guianas, is famous for belt ing; and even. reclaimed rubber. taken from junk heaps. serves per- fectly well for flooring and mats,
 and other articles where reslliency is 1 not needed.
 For many. years the best rubber
 was that which came from the banks
 of the Amazon. The people of that country enjoyed a practical monop-
 oly and determined to keep it. Not
 rubber seed would they let get out of the countrN. under heavy penal 1 ties. But in 1876. by means of gen. i erous presents here and there, a ven turesome Engfishman sailed out of
 Inc Amazon with 70 900 rubber seeds, and that was the start of the great 1 rubber plantations of Celyon and the
 Malay Peninsula. It was twenty nine years after these seeds left the Amazon before the first plantation rubber was ready for the market
 and then the total was only 145 tons

GAS STANDARD
 DETROIT PLAN

Following series of investigations conducted by C. C. Hinkley. chief en- sineer Of the Chalmers Motor com pany. and J. C. McCabe, Detroit city engineer. inc city of Detroit has adopted a set of standards for gaso- line which mrat be strictly observed by all dealers in the city.
 Designated as Detroit City Stand ard" the new type of gasoline is de- fined as liquid hydro carbon ob- taineG oy straight distillation or bs the cracking process and having T
 o!llug temperature not exceeding 450 degrees Fahrenheit IL must distill al least 20 per cent at 220 degrees FGhr- enhc,t and 50 per cent under 800 de- grees Fahrenheit when tested by the distillation test provided for in the ordinance.
 Any mixturc of gasoline and kero- sene which dccs not measure up to this test must be labeled Mixed G-k and sold as a mixture of the two oils Signs designating the quality of the gasoline sold must be plainly dis played on the pump from which the liquid is drawn so that the customer knows which type he is paving for.
 With the constantly decreasing quality of the gasoline being sold or our city streets todaN. we decided II was time to stage a campaign of edu- catior for the benefit of motor cal users said MT Ilinkley. discussing the new ordinance. For test purpose: we purchased samples of gasoline al different stations around Detroit anC tested it for kerosene. We found tha from to g per cen! of the liquif was kerosene.
