 DILL PICKLE CLUB

ChicagO.-The Dill Pickle Club. an organization of near-pOets. near painters and near-writers, chiefly of the long haired variety, is re- tiring from business. The members have been meeting twice weekly at the rendezvous, IT ToOker place, for the last five years.
 Jack Jones, despot of the clubs has turned manufacturer and the club now only exists in memory and name. There are reports that the club came to grief because of q run-in with the Internal Revenue Department. Jones admits that the government demanded two and a half cents from every 25 cents taken in at the door.
 At the session with the internal revenue collector recently, Jones delivered check for $l03 back taxes from April l. The collector at Washington has another check for $200 more. Jones claims the club was educational and should not be taxed.

of rubber usually have a very dis agreeable smell.
 Natives of Africa frequently cov- cred their bodies with the latex and scraped the rubber off, after there had been sufficient evapora- tion. and nodded it into cubes, but at the present time excellent ma chimes for coagula ting the product have been put into use.
 Though it's properties have long the last century come into everyday practical use. Macintosh. a canny Scotchman. in 1923 dissolved some rubber in naptha and spread the solution on marble slab to dry. He then fastened his rubber sheet
 between two pieces of fabric and introduced the world to the rain coat.
 "Rut it was left for Charles Good year. an ardent enthusiast over the possibilities Of rubber, who plunged his fortune into the game and died discredited, to make possible the oyershoe and the automobile tire.
 He had mixed some rubber and sui- phur, and while dissertating on the wonderful qualities of the sub stance. he let some of the mixture fall upon the door of the redhot stove near which he was standing Casually looking down on what he had spilled. he noted with amaze ment that it had hardened without melting.
 "Frantically grabbing q knife, he scraped the residue from the stove. His friends thought that they had seen him suddenly become insane, particularly as they already regarded him more or less unbalanced on the subject, but he ha discovered that il was possible to yulcanize rubber q process which makes it no longer sensitive to the changes of the sea sons and increases it's strength and elasticity"

ed a solution of the problem, but his diagrams and particulars of his achievement are on file with the War Department, General Muir stat ed. Briefly, here is Captain Prices solution:
 To trisect an angle with dividers and right-angled ruler: l. Draw tangents to it's sides at equal distances from the angle. Measure the distance from the side of the angle to the intersection of the tangents. Lay off twice this distance on a straight line and tri- sect it. (Using the regular geome- tric method for dividing a straight line into any given number of parts.)
 Lay off the resulting third on each tangent separately, measuring from the side of the angle toward the intersection of the tangents. Connect the angle with the two points thus obtained by straight lines
 Trisect the chord from the bases of the tangents already drawn and draw straight lines from the tri- section points to the angle. Bisect the second and fourth of the five angles now formed from the original angle.
 These bisecting lines will trisect the original angle
 To prove the result correct:
 Lay off equal distances from the angle on it's sides and on the tri- secting lines Connect the nearest lines at these points with straight lines The result will be triangles whose sides have been construct ed equally, and whose bases will be found to be equal by actual meas urement
 Therefore the three triansles are equal, and the three central angles are equal (being similar angles of equal triangles). And as the three central angles which are equal taken together foNl the original angle. the original angle has been trisected.

EXPLOITING.

V. C. Petite and A. W: Parke Given Cordial Hearing at Vandervoort Hotel Luncheon.

Exploiting the commercial mer' ifs of rkansas-extollipg her SUI nerior qualities to the world, dis pelling impressions of an errone' ous nature that have proven costly is the object of the Arkansas Ad- yancement Association recently brought into organized existence at the state capital. The association is directing its influence into ey- cry county of the state--organizine seyenty-five counties into one gi- xantic advertising spirit that Will project it's force and effect into ev- cry avenue of activity throughout the universe. The association is in action. The work of organizing the various counties of the state is under vigorous way and Greene county is in line.
 Hop V. C. Petite. active vice. president of the England National Bank of Little Rock and chief of ficer of the Arkansas Advancement Association. and A. w. Parke, a prominent newspaper and adyer- tising man of the state capital, were guests, of the city at luncheon at the e1spandervoorts hotel today. MT. Pettfg in one of his characteristic addresses over with en- thusiasm. gave clear and compre- hensive review of the plans that are being put into effect by the state forganization designed to boost the good qualities of the state to the outside world. He recited the won derful resources of the state, the wonderful opportunities that are ahead of us in every line of com mercial activity--opportun that may be developed into tangible as sets if we only cenrralize our et- forts into one mighty statewide organization and fight for their achievement.
 That the state has been done in- calculable damage by reason of our failure to grasp the opportunity to present our virtues with vigor and force cannot be denied Erroneous impressions of the state have caused damage Lack of information as to the states resources and latent wealth has given the commonwealth setback ill the progress enjoyed hy other states of the union, have affected the sales of securities and otherwise contributed losses that an active organization such as the one now in process of action may re- trieye.

CRUDE RUBBER IS
 TROPICAL PRODUCT

Washington. D. C.---The United States manufactured enough rubber tires during the year ending June 30, 1920, to supply the millions of cars that are skimming over her splendid roads and also to ship about $40, 100000 worth of them to ports the world over from bonnie Scotland to volcano-tOrn Java.
 Crude rubber comes to our shores free of duty from places equally as divergent in latitude" says q bulle- tin from Washington O. O. head quart CTS of the National Geographic Society.
 Brazil contributes more than 5S.- 900 of the 75,000,000 pounds which we receive each year. the Dutch Indies an equal or slightly larger amount and the British straits settlements nearly five times as much as either of these. while sundry contributions of balata, quay ule gum. guttajelutong, gutta per NhSi' anu hUDbSi tofHC II Oll Japan, Belgian Congo, French.

 The discovery of rubber or caout- chouc, is attributed to Columbus. who reported that he had found the natives of Haiti playing with balls that bounced. Priestly, the great English chemist. found, while ex- perimenting with the substance, that it would erase lead pencil marks. For want of a better name, he dubbed it rubber and the name has stuck and is used almost ex- clusively in English speaking coun~ tries. +
 The large balls or loaves of raw rubber imported to America are made not from sap, as is ordinarily supposed. but from the milk of the rubber trees. The hydrocarbono,is substance when it first comes from the trees reminds one Of the juice that comes from the everyday milk weed
 ''The Para rubber. one of the best of the grades of raw rubber, which got its name from the port of Brazil from which so much of it is shipped, is obtained from the trees that thrive in the damp for ests of the Amazon. Many of the trees measure from eight to 10 feet in girth and 60 feet in height. The leaves are three-lobed and the flow CTS small and inconspicuous.
 Rubber collectors go through the forests and pick out the trees to be tapped. cut several notches in each and fix below the notch q cup to catch the milk which immediatly be gins to flow. After g few hours the flow ceases and the cups are emptied into larger receptacle. A fire is lighted and the nuts Of vari- ous kinds of palm trees are thrown on it in order to make 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 layer on the paddle. The paddle is dipped into the latex again and again and smoked until sufficiently large quantity of rubber is collected It is then removed and rolled into loayes for export. It comes to the in this form. brown or black on the outside, gray on the inside. and with q peculiar smoked fish odor. Inferior grades
