ROMANCE IN
RUBBER DYING

The age OF romance in the rubber
Industry Is passing, slowly buc sure
~. And strange to say, the cause for
its passing lies IN the fact chat the
Wild rubber Of South America IS rap
idly being supplanted by the planta-
ton rubber OF tfs Far East.
The gradual decline OF romanca IN
the rubber industry has been noted
by Herman II. Haase, Goodrich rubber
expert Haase has handled crude
rubber for more than twenty years
and can tell you by merely looking a.
a piece OF rubber exactly where It
came from
Crude rubber used to be filled
with interesting relies" Mr.. Haase
said. Each piece used to furnish
mute evidence OF the difficulties
under which it was obtained and the
gathered It. But science is changing
all that.
Ten years ago most crude rubber
was obtained from the jungles OF the
Amazon valley In Brazil The trees
grew IN sWampy forests hundreds OF
miles from civilization in places
where white men seldom went.
Gathering the rubber was a slow
process and the natives resorted TO
all manner OF practices TO make their
output appear greater than Il really
was.
Even Amcluuea enakeAs
"As they formed their balls OF rub
Der they included anything they
could lay their hands on which
would increase its weight: stones
hbrous nuts from palm trees, iron
bars, bones OF animals, flour and sand
worn out clothing. and even cent?
psdes and snakes
The natives had q good excuse for
this deceit They knew when they
went into the forests that II they did
not return with as much rubber as
their masters expected they must pay
for their failure with their lives"
8Ir. Haase said AL this has changed.
Today nins-tenths Of all rubber used
comes from the plantations OF the
Orient where Il IS gathered. coagu-
lated and shipped under ideal condi-
tions. The rubber reaches the market
free from dirt and foreign matter.
such shipments are exactly the
kind wanted by the rubber manufac-
turer." AIr. Haase said, but never
theless they do not arouse as much
interest as the old kind. IN those days
the Inspector cut carefully into each
biscuit. fearful OF what they might
find next Today every shipment IS
uniform"

PROBLEM OF CIDER is
PROHIBITION PUZZLER
BY HARMON CLEWS.

Cider may be the last recourse OF
the bibulOus. According TO a recent
opinion submitted by Att'y-Gen.
Palmer, reversing the policy of the
Internal Revenue bureau, 1t is law
full TO have hard cider in the house
for personal use. and so by logical
Inference it is lawful to make cider
for such use.
The process of reasoning is in
terestng. Section 20 OF the prohi-
bition enforcement act merely eX-
cepts notwithstanding cider and
fruit juices from the operation of
the law. Answering a query Of the
Internal Revenue bureau. Mr.. Palm
er gave it as his view that this
means cider containing less than
one-half of l per cent alcohol. He
felt obliged. however, to extend his
opinion as follows:
Congress seems TO have recog-
riZed The peculiar nature Of cider.
When the juice of apples is pressed
out the immediate result is cider.
When this is done, an intoxicating
liquor, even within the definition of
the prohibition act, has not been
produced. But fermentation very
shortly sets in, producing alcohol.
and all that is necessary 10 convert
the cider into an intoxicating liquor
is the lapse of short time"
Now, the owner has not manu-
featured intoxicating liquor" He
made sweet cider. and 1t is the cid
er's own perversity that makes II
hard. The maker is not responsible
for the fact that time passes. Legal
permission TO make cider. as Mr..
Palmer observes. docs not require

that IT is to he kept for future use
II, then. while II is so kept. il be
comes intoxicating. the owner is
guiltless. With the cider once turn
ed hard, he may keep IL. because
position of intoxicating liquor is not
forbidden by the eighteenth amend
ment. And keeping II. though the
encouragement does not expresslv
say so. IL seems to follow that he
NAV drink 1t, and let his guests
drink it.
II looks very much as II a breach
has heen made In the wall OF rea
prohibition. as distinguished from
legal prohibition. There will he
more cider made in this country
hereafter than there has ever beer
before. And apple juice is not the
only fruit Juice OF such a peculiar
nature" that IL will insist on turninr
jts sugar into more than one-half Of
l per cent alcohol if the owner in
nocentlv let's IL alone. The orchard
and garden are full OF wicked Juices
