RUBBER FROM RABBIT BRUSH

Recent experiments by two western
university professors have shown that
rabbit brush is probable commercial
source of rubber, says j. Cecil Alter, in
the June Popular Mechanics Magazine
The investigation so far reported is only
a preliminary cumulative examination,
begun quietly some months ago as war
measure, but continued to prevent vita
ting valuable information partly devel-
oped. 1t has not yet been announced to be
commercially profitable, though in Utah
alone there is said to be between 500 and
1000 square miles of the brush and a
great deal more land that could be made
to grow the plant. If grown artificially
by planting and cultivation, without irri-
CATION, in average Utah weather condi-
tons, a harvest could be taken every
four or five years, at light expense for
seeding and harvesting. Under irrigation
the yield could probably be increased
four fold, it is estimated. The quantity
of rubber in the plant seems to vary d.
rectly with the amount of alkali in the
SOIL up to a certain limit; thus the less
value the soil is for agricultural purposes,
the more valuable for producing rubber.

Dealers are warned in a statement by
the Collector of Internal Revenue that
proprietary stamps by means of which
the tax on toilet and medicinal articles is
collected must be cancelled when the arti-
Gle is sold. Recently there have been re-
ceived by the Bureau numerous uncan-
celled stamps taken from taxable articles
purchased at drug stores.
Regulations 81, relating to the collec-
ton of the tax on toilet and medicinal
articles, provide that each stamp affixed
to taxable article must be cancelled in
such manner as to prevent its further
use. eff possible" the regulations state,
'the stamp should be affixed to the outside
of the package or container of the taxed
commodity so that upon opening the
same the stamp will be destroyed. The
initial or the name of the vendor, togeth-
er with the date when the stamp was
affixed or cancelled, must appear on the
cancelled stamp"
This provision, the Bureau states, will
be strictly enforced.
The penalty for making use of stamp
to denote the tax imposed without can
ceiling the stamp is a fine of not more
than $780,

that several hundred persons had been
put on trial for advocating violence
against law and order, and that several
had been sentenced to pay fine of 500

days in prison. A few days later the
bomb outrages followed which seemed to
rouse people to the danger from those
who have styled themselves 18Th fight

CUT DOWN EXPENDITURES

The last Congress appropriated $780,
900, 600 for the purpose of prospecting
for mines and minerals The above state
ment was made few days ago on the
floor of the House of Representatives by
Nh Moore of Pennsylvania, and no one
disputed it. The above sum of money is
more than four and one-haf times the
entire assessed valuation of Waldo coun-
ty. The expenditure of this money was
under the direction of the Department of
the Interior and the work was done by
the U. s. Geological Survey. It would
seem to a practical mind that the ex-
penditure Of this amount of money would
enable the peripatetic rock thumpers to
do considerable prospecting, and it would
not be unreasonable if they were expect
ed to occasionally discover something of
value. The Geological Survey people
issue a bulletin every week. We have

time in hunting for a quarry, the stone

stones, they would have been entitled to
the credit of, at least, trying to do some
thing progressive, although we do not
think improved grindstones are so much
needed as are some other things which
lie in the Businesses of geological forma-
tons. Instead of statistics the taxpayers
want to see figures on the credit side of
the balance sheet. The United States
Treasury is leaking like sieve. Not
withstanding the fact that we have been
assured that the Victory Loan was to be
the last, it is apparent that the treasury
will be empty in less than six months
1t is safe to say that we have scores of
Bureaus Commissions, etc, which, TO
use a familiar expression, do not earn
their salt The total of our national ex-
penditures in 1900 was IA times greater

and its business should be managed by
business men of pre- eminent ability, men
who are patriotic enough to give as care

Teredo, Ship Eater.

Although it was declared that wood
en- ships could be built fast enough and
strong enough to outwit the subma-
rine they cannot be built to escape
their own most deadly enemy, the ship
worm, or teredo. This animal or worm
eats away the wooden ship In much the
same manner that cancer eats away
the human body, but it is so small
when it first inserts itself into the wood
that the closest inspection fails to
show the warning pin hole. Once in
the wood, however, it eats it's way
along, growing steadily, and when a
quantity of these tiny worms get into
ship they turn 1t into a veritable
sponge honeycombed by tunnels.
The teredo is more common on the
western coast than on this, and cop
per or so-called copper paint is said
to be the one way to protect wooden
ships from becoming infested.
