The Story of

from this
came the Iiame of the state. A
nickname for the state is the
Blackwater State.
OF the early Spanish explora-
tons little is known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain of this region in l54l.
More than one hundred and
twenty-five years later Father
Marquette noted the Platte river
on his trip up the Missouri. In
the beginning of the Nineteenth
century the Lewis and Clark ex-
petition skirted the boundaries
of the present state and in 1903,
Manuel Lisa established the
first known settlement which was
fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
into United States territory.
Omaha was established as a
post OF the American Fur com
pany in 1925 and Nebraska City
the following year.
With the California gold rush
in 1919 many pioneers passed
through Nebraska and some
stopped and settled there al
though there was a law forbid
ding settlements among the In
dans. The real colonization
boom, however, started with the
passing of the Kansas-Nebraska
act in 1854, which arranged that
these two sections should become
free or slave states at the die
tate Of their inhabitants. The
Nebraska territory was then or
ganized and reached from the
fortieth to the fOrty-nlnth paral-
lei. In 1861, the region north
of AZ was made into Dakota
territory. The Idaho territory
was also created. which re-
/ duced Nebraska 10 its present
size Of 1880 square miles, ex-
cept for slight addition In the
Northwest which was made In
1882.
In 1867 Nebraska was admit
ted as the 37th state over the

WHAT IS MEANT BY VULCAN zAT|0N?

| What is vulcanization? Here is a
term frequently used by motorists, yet
ono not generally understood. To near
| ly everyone It has n mental associa-
tion with tire repair shops. because the
word appears prominently on the
6igns over so many OF these establish
ments. This association of ideas is so
strong that many believe vulcsnization
is only another name for n tire re-
pair.
But vulcanization has not so limited
n meaning as that-it is the process
| on which the whole rubber industry OF
tho world rcsts. Every article of rub
bcr manufacture that enters into the
service of mankind has been vulcan

but all We're loss.
Daniel Webster tn tho famous law
suit in which he defended the first vul-
canization patents. said of these carly
efforts at manufacture:
AN these factories, all the earnings
OF the individuals connected with the
business, came to an end and nothing
was done until business was revived by
the invention of vulCa MIA tion."
These efforts at manufacture failed
because of the inability TO remove scv-
eral objectionable qualities in tho rub
bcr itself Among these were n ten
dcncy TO stificn and harden and lose
elasticity in cold weather. and to be-

COLORADO HAS VOICE
IN FORESTER'S MEET

colorado was represented at con-
ference of state Forcstcrs held In
harrisburg, Penn, in December
The meeting discussed the details of
a bill recently submitted to congress.
This bill makes provisions for better
and general protection OF all timber
lands from fire and for the cutting and
removal of timber crops by such
methods as will promote continuous
productiu, OF timber on lands chiefly
suitable for forests BY Withholding
federal assistance from states not
willing to corporate ON a fitty-fifty
financial basis, 1t is thought that
practically all timber producing states
VIII be induced TO carry out tho fores-
try measures recommended.
1t is provided in this bill that plans
shall he perfected in each forest region
after n careful survey OF conditions.
whereby effective forestry measures
shall be devised, after which state
legislation will be asked to put tho
necessary measures into effect with
federal cooperation.
1t is tho most important and far
reaching forestry policy attempted
since the establishment of the Ma
tional Forest policy, and in the opinion
of the state Forester. merits the sup

in some forms, especially tires. oil and
grease are counted among the chief
enemies of long life for rubber.
Nulcanization is generally spoken of
among rubber manufacturers as the
cure. Many efforts have been made
to discover other and less expensive
methods of curing rubber. but thus far
without much success. In every rub
bcr factory a large part of the cost OF
machinery and OF labor is applied TO
securing proper cure. True, some
types of thin goods havo been success
fully vulcanizcd by the use of chem
icals in place OF heat, but the proper
ton of these is very small.
In tire manufacture the process of
Nulcanization Is especially expensive
This operates in Awo ways: first, in
tho cost of the operation itself, and
second. in the cost of adequate process.
TO illustrate tho necessity of this su-
pervision> 1t is necessary only to point
out that n single drop of moisture in
the rubber or fabric will. when tho
tire is subjected to heat in the vuI-
canizer, turn TO steam and expand into
n "blister' that will ruin the tires

Among the most important parts of
tho equipment are the big tanks" in
which the tires get their heat bath
After tho tiro Is built IL is placed in "A
pounds. Putting tho tires into these
moulds and taking them out again, and
transporting the moulds about the fac
tory requires an amount of labor that
is an important item in the cost of a
tire.
When tho building OF tho tire has
boon completed and II has been placed
in the mould, II goes into tho vulcan
izcr-a big hollow tank capable of
holding dozen or more tires of av-
crage size. When tho tires arc in
place in the vulcanizcr. the lid is
screwed down and tho steam turned
in. The temperature rises gradually
FOR twenty minutes. when a tempera-
tiire of about 2S5 degrees is reached
The tire remains at this temperature
for about two hours. when the steam
is turned off, After flftcen minutes of
cooling tho moulds are taken out and
tho tires removed, and stripped from
the cores on which they wcrc built.

The reduction consists Of one cent

the reduction some time ago, while
several of the roads in this section of
the country delayed the decision. MI.
Bangs and other Legion officers
pressed the matter, with the result
that the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific railroads acted
.favorably.
II Mr.: Bangs, as state commander,
and II. Mayne Stanton, as alternate,
are the only local Legion men who
have signified their intention Of goir ;
to the convention. but it is I'd
that with the reduced rates, - sral
