RUBBER PRODUCTION
IS THEME OF TALK
H. S. Babcock, Firestone Manager,
Gives History of Industry.

Possibly the aborigines discovered
on this continent by Columbus were
the real fathers of baseball.
This suggestion was made in all
seriousness by H. S. Babcock, mana
ger of the Firestone Tire and Rub
| Der Company last night before the
American Association Of Engineers
in the rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce.
When Columbus returned to Eu-
rope after finding a new continent,
he brought back with him a tale
about savages playing with a ball
made of some unknown substance.
1t bounced. 1t was soft: and yet this
substance was extremely durable.
1t was what was several hundred
years later named rubber"
MIR. Babcock delivered short
talk on rubber, its uses. and the de-
velopment OF the industry as a pro-
logue to a motion picture which
showed on the screen the points
which were brought out in the ad-
dress.
The pictures showed the work on
rubber plantations OF Ceylon. where
the industry has advanced to a SCI
entific basis.
Brown-skinned natives, with their
hair done up. and naked to their
waists. were depicted on the screen
spraying one OF the scientific prepara-
tions against weeds on a rubber plan
tation.
How rubber IL made in this country

the screen. Sixty per cent OF the rub

The entire police force and the local
detective bureau are also lending every
effort to tho hunt.
Relatives and friends OF the escaped
prisoners when brought to the detec-
tive once and questioned yesterday
afternoon could throw no light on the
whereabouts of the prisoners.
The reported suspect arrested by
Sheriff Garrison, of Prince George
