BRAZIL |SFAsT LOSING THE RUBBER
SUPREMACY TO FOR EAST COUNTRIES

down, every tree is carefully nursed
and the stately plantations are among
the horticultural wonders of the world
On the Amazon the rubber collector
works on shares with the man who
grub stakes him. He is not a trained
or careful worker and his biscuits may
include leaves, sticks and dirt, Cue to
carelessness, and have been known to
include old nails, stones. Jumps OF
wood and axe heads, deliberately in
troduced by the worker to make his
rubber weigh more. But plantation
rubber, under the supervision of ex-
perts, is placed on the markets in such
form that the manufacturer can send
it direct to his mills so free it is from
impurities.
In Brazil most of the areas richest
/ in rubber trees are swampy, fever
breeding spots. The rainy season cuts
he working season down to seven
months, but the average working ca
pacity of a collector is only 30 days
chiefly as the result of sickness. In
many places sickness in the normal
condition. Speaking of one of the
principal areas, a Brazilian tropical
expert declared there were no natives
there, "all children born there die"
In the Far East. the trees are tapped
all the year round and modern medi
| cine is at hand to fight disease.

grew much Of its own food but the
/ rubber boom brought about almost q
complete cessation in agriculture and
/ today the prices paid for necessities
/ is fantastic. Prices are from double tC
I five times os high as at Rio Janeiro
/ The price to be received for the rubber

/ dependent on the market prices in
/ Europe and America, and the store
keepers, who usually grubstake the
/ collectors, cannot be blamed much for
getting high prices for their commo-
dities.
With the cost of labor very high, the
cost of food many times what it is in
other points and production methods
crude Brazil has been unable not, only
to compete with the plantations but
even to develop the industry to its full
possibilities. Her jungles are filled
with trees that have never been
touched, and the increase rate OF
growth Of the output has been neg
ligible lately, although in the past year
there have been evidences of efforts
toward larger production.
Among all the plantations in the Far
East the great tract of the United
States Rubber company with more
than 20 square miles of growing trees
stands out as by far the largest
Twenty thousands workers care for its
trees, collect its latex and prepare the
crude rubber. Its scientific staff has
studied eXhaustively the problem OF
preparing the rubber in the manner
that will make the best tires and as a
consequence have made it possible for
United States tires to possess uni.

never before attained.

Knox Oakland
Refuses To Be
Kept Az Home

Several days ago we announced
there would be 10 further shortage of
Oakland cars, and there isn't so far
as our allotment is concerned, but to
the public there is a shortage again,
said s. L. Knox OF the Oakland Ari-
iona Sales company. Mr.. Knox stated
that he has bought two Oaklands for
himself in the past thirty days, eX-
pecting to use the car personally. but
has been forced to sell them on &C
count of the continued demand for the
little sensible six.
I'VE have been getting lots of Oak
lands, but we have been selling more
than we could possibly get. Today We
haven't an Oakland in stock, but sew
eral car loads are nearing Phoenix an6
we are hoping to he able to make i'm
mediate deliveries of this popular little
automobile next week" said Mr. Knox

SELLING
OAKLANDSFAST
IN COCH|SE co,

c. d. Leach, for a number of years
connected with the automobile bust
ness in Phoenix, and who is now agent
in Cochise county for the Oakland
Sensible Six, was in Phoenix Thursday
for an Oakland coupe to take back to
Douglas.
Mr.. Leach took the agency for the
Oakland in Cochise county less than
60 days ago and to date has bought
three carloads. besides having driven
two closed jobs from Phoenix. Mr.
Leach stated that the people of Co.
chise county were quick to see the
superiority Of the Oakland Sensible
Six and that his business so far has
been far beyond his expectations, and
10 doubt this news will be gladly re-
ceived by his many friends in the Salt
River valley.

SOLDERING SWAB

An interesting suggestion for use in
connection with soldering iron or steel
is to make n swab from flexible cleo
trio light cord, which is used in swab-
bling on TO the work solution made by
dissolving a bit of zinc in muriatic acid
and then diluting with a little water

METAL PUNCH

The car owner who does his own
work will often find a use for sheet
metal punch, and he easily makes one
for himself. employing an ordinary
wise as the basic tool. The two spe-
cial jaws must be made or bought, one
of the members being male and the
other female. With these jaws at

this al the moment it is possible to

A very convenient bench light may
be made from an old piston by using
