 For many years the Amazon, Central America and Central Africa. werA the main sources of crude rubber, ;he trees growing wild in tropical jungles. These sources sufficed before the advent of tre automobile and during the early years of the motor car industry. Then as the number of cars grew the denlan1 for rubber began to outstrip the supply, prices advanced alarmingly and there was talk of rubber famine.
 Strange as it seems now, little effort hda been made up to that time to culti- Vate the rubber tree on plantations. But as the demand developed far-sighted British commercial interests turned their thought in that direction, choosing the tropical orient for their experiments. The cultivation of the rubber tree proved a commercial success, and from a small beginning the number of plantations grew until this year it is estimated at 310,0Oo. The result was a steady and ample supply of rubber, keeping pace with the expansion in the automobile in dustry. Today there actually is a large surplus, Adue to the heavy slump in au- tomobile output in 1918, and prices for the crude article have been forced down to the lowest level ever recorded.
 The solution of the gasolene problem may not be so simple, and yet it is not hard to believe that long before present oil supplies are exhausted they will be supplemented by cheap motor fuel pro duced from trees and plants grown and cultivated on farms or plantations.-St Paul Pioneer Press.

Merchant Marine" by the Bankers Trust company of New York indicate that the losses totaled 343090 gross tons of mer chant shipping from August, 1914, until the armistice. Compared to the sea- going tonnage of over 11,000, 900 tons represented by the 5000 vessels now com prising the American merchant marine, the loss of 343 900 tons through enemy attack no longer seems large.
 But this lost tonnage equaled the total output. of American shipyards in. 1914. It exceeded the tonnage built in the United States in either 1915 or 1916. However in 1917, responding to world demand, American shipbuilding struck its stride Despite the sinking of 71.o00 tons that year and the loss of 159. .00o tons in other ways, the increased output more than made good these reductions. American ship production in 1917 totaled 1.o34, ,2se tons.
 In one year alone, ending June 90, 1918. American ships sunk by the enemy totaled 1s0.000 tons. On the other hand, according to figures in the Bankers Trust company's study, the American merchant marine was a gainer through the seizure of 90 enemy ships of total of 5s1,747 gross tons. These were vessels in Ameri- can ports when the United States entered the war.
