ANTIQUITY OF RUBBER

Rubber as an article Of commerce is
exactly 100 years old.
From humble beginnings, its pro-
dlction in thousands Of forms has
bfcome so necessary to mankind that
il has become one of the greatest
-yJrl5 industries and seems destined to
develop even more as new uses for il
are discovered
Last year the United States pro-
uced 1867, 2O4 900 worth Of rubber
p4oGucts or this total the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company Of Akron, O.,
manufactured lightly less than rs
per cent, or mere than $16S,OOO, OO0
worth.
Although century old, the rubber
industry made little progress for so
yeaE-the greatest strides having
been mGde in the last two decades.
Some indication Of how great an in
ere sc has been made in consumption
Of raw material for rubber products
may be seen from the fact that in 1900
che worlds production Of crude rub
Der, both wild and cultivated, was but
$500 long tons, while in 1919 it was
100000 long tons.
1t was in the summer Of 1920 when
rough Jumps Of "caoutchouc," as rub
Der was then known, were constantly
a irving in England, but solely as
curios. In that same year, Thomas
Hancock an Englishman OF Stoke
Newirgton, became impressed by the
strange elastic properties Of the raw
rubber and was amazed that II should
be used only for erasing pencil marks.
He established laboratory in his.
home, and after many experiments,
f. tioned rubber into thin strips for
tie purpose Of keeping stockings and
gloves in position and also for keeping
pockets from being picked
Hancock was beset by many OBJ
stacles. The rubber strips had to be
attached by needle and thread-and
the rubber split at each needlehole.
When he started in business with Mac
intosI to waterproof" cloth, he found
that tailors insisted on sewing the
cloth, which allowed rain 70 seep
through-and his trade suffered
Doctors argued that these water
proofs" were unhealthy because they
induced perspirat'on and brought on
colds. Hancock later triumphed over
m his difficulties and built up large
rubber business.
The centenary celebration was held
this summer in London, when EN-
Dloycs Of Hancocks rubber company
made an excursion in motor cars-on
rubber tires.

ATHLETIC FIELD TO
HONOR DEAD HEROES
Built by Western Electric Com.
pany as Memorial to SOL
der Employees.

The Western Electric Company Ii
rushing the construction Of a ten
acre athletic field at it's Hawthorne
factory. near Chicago. to commemo-
rate its sixty-one employees who sac
rinced their lives during the war. IL
3 believed that when completed this
field will be one OF the largest me-
MORALS in this country.
1T is interesting in view OF this
memorial TO note the report the West
ern Electric has just circulated re-
garding the war activities of it's per-
sonnel-7.621 OF it's employees we're
actively engaged in some type OF
service during the period of hostili-
ties. or this number, 1878 were in
the army and 1853 entered the navy.
Because OF their intimate familiar
.ity with the various means of COM
munication. the Western Electric
employees had an exceptionally large
representation in the signal corps:
600 members Of Its technical organi-
zation saw service with the telegraph
battalions. the field signal battalions
and the telephone operator units. In
fantry and artillery organizations
also proved exceptionally popular,
drawing 1,721 and s24 Western Elec-
trio men. respectively.
The members Of the big electrical
concern were well represented among
the commissioned and non-commis-
stoned ranks OF their respective
branches OF the service. The army
personnel boosted five lieutenant
colonies. eight majors. twenty-eight
captains. sixty-eight first lieutenants.
ll6 second lieutenants and $50 non,
commissioned officers. or this ag-
gregation 0S3 are known TO have won
promotion during the period they
wore the khaki. Two thousand two
hundred and ninety-nine of the West
ern Electric warriors saw service
overseas.
A present estimate OF the casualties
among those who entered the service
shows that fifty-two soldiers were
killed and 121 were wounded. The
navy losses included nine killed and
twelve wounded.

CAMPAIGN PLANNED
BYELECTR|CAL MEN
Nationwide Educational and
Trade Movement Considered
BY Manufacturers.

There are strdng Indications in the
electrical business world that the dig
educational and trade movement de-
veloped In California In the guise or
an electrical cooperative campaign
IL about to spread to many parts of
the United States. Electrical manu-
facturers, electrical dealers and cleo
trical writer's and publications are
limiting at such a possibility.
The reason primarily Is the re-
markable results OF the California eff
fort. which attracted the attention of
electrical men throughout the coun-
try.
Many leaders in the electrical trade
are understood to feel that the maya
zine. Electrical Merchandising. has
made both a prophecy and a sugges-
ton in this recent assertion:
This California cooperative plan
is one that we may shortly see ex-
banded to national scope as similar
campaigns are undertaken in other
sections of the United States for in
tensive local electrical development
work.
PRESENTED AT CONVENTION.
This suggestion was concretely pre-
scented at the last convention OF the
National Electric Light Association
by Lee II. Newbert, chairman of the
committee on cooperation in the in
dustry. and also of the advisory com
mittee OF the California campaign
The association formally resolved
that national plans be undertaken. in
cooperation with other associations,
emphasizing the prime need for 'lcca!
organization and national co-ord. Ca
ton and corporation"
Jobbers who distribute the products
or the General Electric Company
have been preparing for n national
development of the California cam
paign ever since hearing the cam
paign analysed for their benefit by
Frank j. Airey. of the Los Angeles
office of the Pacific States Electric
Company. Mr.. Airey spoke before a
recent national gathering Of General
Electric jbbers. lie urged that job
bers prepare for their part in such
campaigns everywhere throughout
the country. for he believed the move
ment would spread during 1921.
URGE DOUBLE CIRCUITS.
The General Electric Company was
active, when the electrical homes
were displayed in California last
summer in urging the advantages in
new homes of the double circuit idea,
one circuit for lighting only, the other
for home power appliances. This
idea is expected to make possible a
still wider development of the cleo
trical home.
The electrical home demonstration.
which was the germ of the California
campaign, has already found expo
nents in the East in a complete SER
vantless electrical dwelling at Malba,
l.. L. just built, and in a similar cleo
trio home at Westfield, n. ].
alive campaign was an educational
drive in which the various interests
OF the electrical trade co-operated-
central stations, manufacturers, Job
bers. contractors, and retail dealers.
Its purpose was: ''To improve the in
dustry's service to the people of Cali
| fornia."

Stratford-on-Avon. the literary
Mecca OF tourists In England. where
for many years the light OF the
twentieth century has been difused
over the relics of the seventeenth, Is
in danger OF reversion to the semi
darkness OF the mid Victorian period.
Owing to inadequate rates prescribed
by the authorities there has been
depreciation OF equipment which
has brought the electric company to
the point where II can stand the
strain no longer.
"If something is not promptly
DONE" the local paper states. "the
undertaking will soon be defunct.
Our present brilliantly illuminated
shops will have to return to their
former somberness. the fragile man
tel will come again into vogue, ar
tisticaily decorated rooms will be
subjected to discoloration, ceilings
darkened with impure carnations and
local machinery made dependent up
on spasmodic gas power-when this
is available"

were thoroughly explained to the

Modern Electric System.

The Reparto Miramar is one OF the
finest residence districts in Havana,
Cuba. 1t is about two kilometers in
length and one in width. subdivided
by avenues and cross streets into
blocks. The central avenue Is forty
meters wide. with grass and flower
plots. At three points along the ave-
nue. beautiful parks and sunken gar
dens are under construction. The
minimum cost of dwellings to be built
is $40, 900. 90 per cent Of the lots are
already sold, and the entire PROJECT
should be completed within the next
two years.
Lighting this exclusive district was
a problem intrusted to w. d. A. Ryan
director of a well-known Illuminating
engineering laboratory. and a COM
plete report was submitted and ap-
proved. For the central avenue a
system of lighting has been recon-
mended that will illuminate the street
and surroundings to a fairly high in
tensity for decorative and display
purposes.
There will be ornamental standards
twenty feet In height, four to each
central grass plot. The standard car
ries two fixtures. with a 1.00o-candle-
power lamp in each globe.
Along the curbing. at the corners
half way between corners, Is located
a standard twelve feet high with a

standard carries a 250-candlepower
lamp. Circuits are SO arranged that
at midnight all of the large standards
may be extinguished and four of the
small standards to each block left
burning.
