Editorial Comment From Other Newspapers
CAMDEN LOOKS AHEAD

The action of the Camden city council in
approving the principle of city coming and au-
thorizing the mayor to appoint a City Planning
Commission shows an alert and forward looking
attitude on the part of the municipality over the
Delaware that is worthy of attention and emula-
ton here.
1t is inspired by and particularly related to
the consideration of changes in the city map
which will come about with the opening or the
new bridge. A new main artery of traffic is 10
be created, and on either side of the river, there
will be need of radiants from 1t. and a general
reconstruction of the districts through the main
artery and it's branches pass.
1t is a work that calls for far-sighted planning
on both sides of the river. This city ought to be
at work now on a comprehensive project for the
advantageous relocation OF Industrial districts
and arteries of travel that the new bridge VIII
make necessary. Upon the early solution OF
these problems will depend whether the bridge
in to be used from the start to the maximum
advantage of the city's industry and the maxi
mum convenience of its citizens, or whether the
establishment is to be made piecemeal fashion,
haphazardly and belatedly.
One OF the greatest advantages of a new state
constitution would have been the conferrlng on
the city of the necessary authority to attack TINS
problem in the proper way and with adequate
financial means assured from the start. Now
that such opportunity has passed, the city is
likely to find itself greatly hammered. but there
is at least no reason why the plans should not
be worked out and such financial provision made
as circumstances NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Bulletin

inside, and with a peculiar smoked
fish odor. Inferior grades of rubber
usually have a, very ~disagreeable
smell.
Natives of Africa frequently COW
cred their bodies with the latex
and scraped the rubber off, after
there had been sufficient evapora-
ton. and nodded it into cubes, but
at the present time excellent ma
chimes for coagulating the product
have been put into use.
Practical Use Recent
Though it's properties have long
been known, rubber has just within
the last century come into everyday
practical use. Macintosh, a canny
Scotchman, in 1928 dissolved some
rubber in naptha and spread the So
luton on a marble slab to dry. He
then fastened his rubber sheet be-
tween wv pieces of fabric and in
troduced the world to the raincoat.
But it was left for Charles
Goodyear, an ardent enthusiast
over the possibilities of rubber, who
plunged his fortune into the game
and died ~discredited, to make posi-
BILE the overshoe and the automobile
tire. He had mixed some rubber
and sulphur and while d1sSertating
on the wonderful qualities of the
substance, he let some of the mix
ture fall upon the door of the red
hot stove near which he was stand
ing. Casually looking down on what
he had spilled, he noted with
amazement that 1t had hardened
without melting.
Dramatically grabbing a knife he
scraped the residue from the stove.
His friends thought hat they had
seen him suddenly become insane,
particularly as they already regard
ed him more or less unbalanced on
the subject, but he had discovered
that 1t was possible to ~vulcanize
rubber-a process which makes it
no longer sensitive to the changes
of the seasons and increases it's
strength elasticity"

I hold that Amos Aikenside Is all
pure wool and three feet wide. I've
dealt with him for many moons and
got the worth of my d~oubloons. He's
solo me milk and melted ice, and
always at a decent price. Men say
that Amos must be watched; his
moral character is botched, and If he
gets a chance, they say, he'll bring
his harpoon into play. My neighbors
sometimes say, "Gadzooks, why pat
ronize that prince of crooks?" Per-
haps the truth has not been told;
who knows what grudges they may
hold against this Amos Aikenside.
who sells fresh henfruit, plain or
fried? Perhaps their hatred is be-
slowed because he asked for what
they owed; for many peoples heads
get sore when they lose credit at the
store. Perhaps they hate this Amos
iay because he doesn't vote their
way. A score of reasons might be
found why they rear up when he's
around. but while old Amos treats
me right / shall not say to him,

The United States manufactured
enough rubber tires during the year
ending June 20, 1920, to supply the
millions of cars that are Swimming
over her splendid roads and also to
ship about forty million dollars
worth of them to ports the world
over from bonny Scotland to vol
cano-torn Java.
Crude rubber m to our
shores free of duty from places
equally as divergent in latitude
says a bulletin from the Washing
ton, d. c., headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
BRAZIL contributed more than So
million Of the SIS million pounds
which we receive each year, the
Dutch East Indies an equal or
slightly larger amount. and the Brit
ish Straits Settlements nearly five
times as much as either of these.
while sundry contributions of balata,
guayule gum, gutta jelutong, gutta
percha, and india rubber come from
Japan, Belgian Congo, French At

Peru, the British possessions and
many other countries.
Did Columbas Also Discover Rub
Der?
1.-THE discovery of rubber or ca
outchouc is attributed to columbus
who reported that he had found the
natives of Haiti playing with balls
that bounced. Priestley, the great
English chemist, found, while ex-
perimenting with the substance, that
Ii would erase lead pencil marks.
For want OF a better name, he dub
bed it rubber, and the name has
stuck and is used almost exclusive
ly in English speaking countries.
1.-THE large balls or loaves of raw
rubber imported to America are
made not from the sap, as is ordina-
rily supposed, but from the milk of
the rubber trees. The hydrocarbons
our substance when it first comes
from the trees reminds one OF the
Juice that comes from the everyday
milkweed.
1.-The Para rubber, one of the best
of the grades of raw rubber, which
got it's name from the port of Brazil
from which so much of 1t is shipped,
is obtained from trees that thrive
in the hot damp forests of the Am
azon. Many Of the trees measure e
from 8 to 10 feet in girth and so
feet in height. The leaves are three
lobed and the flowers small and in
conspicuous.
Resembles Maple Sugar Process
Rubber collectors go through the
forests and pick out the trees to be
tapped, cut several notches in each
and fix below the notch a cup to
catch the milk which Immediately
begins to flow. After a few hours
the flow ceases and the cups are
emptied into larger receptacle. A
fire is lighted and the nuts of va
rious kinds of palm trees are thrown
on it in order to make a dense
smoke. Then the natives dip pad
dies in the rubber latex and hold
them in the smoke until the fluid
coagulates and forms a thin lawer
on the paddle. The paddle is dipped
into the latex again and again and
smoked until O sufficiently large
quantity of rubber is collected. 1t is
then removed and rolled into loaves
for export. 1t comes to the manu-
facturer in this form, brown or

THE REASON FOR HIGH TAXES

One Of the reasons we have high taxes is be-
cause people pay high taxes so willingly. You
may think you do not pay high taxes willingly put
the fact that nothing is done by the taxpayers TO
shut off the flow of money into the various pup
lie treasures is all that the official %spenders want
going about %grumbling to your friends will not
do any good.
Never before have public officials, from con-
gress down, had so much money to spend ana
never before have they spent it so freely. The
people got into the habit of digging down deep
into their pockets during the war and the off,
eials had one grand orgy of spending. AT the
time it was anything to win the war and no
complaint was made.
But the officials, by one preteXt or another,
have been bull-dozing the people into believing
that the same wholesale spending is still neces-
sary and immense war taxes have been imposed
to keep an army of clerks busy in various gov
eminent departments, state officials have been
raising salaries and appropriating funds for
about everything under the sun, county free
holders have been handing it out lavishly for
patent pavements and costly automobiles, towns
and city officials have been doing the same thing
and they will continue to do 1t as long as the
people will stand for it.
When any public board or commission needs
funds to do something these days 1t does not
occus 20 the members of the board or commits
sion 20 look about and see whether they can cut
expenses somewhere else or economic here and
there in order to get the necessary funds for the
purpose they have in mind. oh, no! That
would be too much like work. Besides, why &c
to all that bother when all they have to do is to
put on a bond issue or soak up the taxes a few
points which the people pay with a little grum'
bling. perhaps. bur they pay just the same and
then when election comes around they can be
/ depended upon to put the same men back IN

Health Talks
Keep Arteries Young


There is more truth than we real
ize in the saying that a man is as
old as his arteries. No one can
| avoid growing old, but any one can
avoid growing old p~rematurely. The
business mans I'M of living to-
day is SO conducive to premature
hardening of the arteries-the first
sign Of impending old age-that he
above all others is most prone to
acquire X,
Even our best type Of business
man is living too rapidly, putting
everything, including his health,
aside for the interests of his BUSH
ness.
He eats too fast. He throws into
! his system, without realizing it, ex-
cessive foods and fluids, combined
frequently with poisonous products
which cause at an early G harden
ing of the arteries. He neglects his
bowels, causing absorption of pois-
onous products from the intestines
ultimately resulting in a rise Of blood
pressure. He gets too little exercise
and worries about his work.
The average blood pressure for
the healthy person is 100 plus his
age. A blood pressure which con-
tinues to run between 200 and 230
is certainly too high.
A first step in reducing high blood
pressure is to reduce the eating OF
heterogeneous foods or what are called
proteins. This includes milk, eggs.
meat, fish and cheese. Confine your
self largely to a diet of fresh vege-
tables and fruits, all of which are
poor in nitrogen. Next, find some
form of exercise, preferably out of
doors, that will be also a form Of
recreation. Get at least eight hours
Of undisturbed sleep each night.
Moderation in daily living Is really
the keynote in preventing hardening
of the arteries.
There is nothing so restful to the
business mans overtaxed body and
brain as a "hobby." 1t may be
strenuous and yet be restful for It
constitutes a change in mental and
physical occupation.
If a man has hardening CT the
arteries and knows it, he does not
need to think he is going to die.
| Simply begin systematically to prac-
tice those rules of living and hygiene
that tend to reduce high blood
pressure.

If Mr.. Hartman was right in say
ing that he is richest who owes the
most, the European nations are very
rich.
Great Britain owes the United

France owes Us three and one-third
billions. Italy owe u one and
two-thirds billions. All together
the nations of Europe W us ten
billions of dollars.
They do not have the money.
They do not know where to get the
money. They can never pay their
debts in money. And with the pres
emit balance of trade against them
and the cost of exchange it is diff
cult to see how they can pay us in
commodities.
We have had several broad hints
to the effect that it would be a very
gracious thing for America to give
those sums to the nations of Europe

that amount of money from us but
it we were disposed to give it, we
should probably have no great diff
ficulty in persuading Europe to ac-
cept it.
Would Europe appreciate the
gift?..
The answer Is not altogether GER
tain.
She would thank us very heartily
and we should hear Of our generos-
ity in a good many banquets. But
it is not certain that Europe would
not say in her heart, America has
given us only what she could well
afford and less than we deserve"
1t Is not likely that Congress will
vote to cancel these huge debts.
How then are they to be paid?
I do not think that anybody
knows how they are to be paid.
One thing is true, so long as they
remain unpaid and u~nforgiven,
there will be one more reminder
that war is expensive. The world
has had several such reminders, but
apparently one more will do no
harm.
