DATES FROM PRIMITIVE MAN
That the Giving Of Knives "ereaks
Friendship" 10 q Superstition Of
Ancient Days.

The popular superstition that II
breaks friendship" to give or accept
a knife without something Of value
preferably money-passing I'm return,
Is a survival from the primitive man,
declares London Answers.
The savage, having progressed from
n club to n knife or spear as a weapon,
soon learned the danger Of relin-
gushing II merely for friendships
sake. His friend, having disnrmed
him. was apt to he his friend no
longer.
SO, for giving up his knife, even TO
his friend, he demanded a recompense.
And he saw that when a friend pre-
scented him with a weapon, that friend
presently came TO regard him-be-
cause of regret for the act or because
of envy at the added superiority the
gift bestowed-with suspicion, grow
ing into emnlty.
Whereas II he gave a consideration
for the knife II was a matter OF fair
trade and friendship was likely TO en-
dure.
All this became 50 deeply lngrained
in the mind of the primitive man that
the idea survives today as a popular
superstition.
Popular superstitions belong TO folk
lore, and where they have not n re-
ligious derivation are mostly survivais
from ancient civilizations or are In
herited from our savage ancestors.

out by way of the door beside the

World Rubber Exhibit
Expected to Boom Trade

MANCHESTER, Eng, June 80 lBy
MaiD The international exhibition of
rubber and other tropical products at
the Agricultural Hall in London, con-
tanning specimens of rubber and ats
manufactured articles from all the
chief producing countries, is expected
30 do something to stimulate the de-
snand, according to the London staff of
The Manchester Guardian. Rubber
has been suffering q slump, due to the
general stagnation of trade and espe-
cially bad times in the motor industry.
1t is hoped that there will be a big
extension in rubber roadways. An ex-
pertinent Is being made at Bow which
is being closely watched by engineers.
Developm ents are taking place in rub
Der floor covering which is being intro
duced into some of the big shops in
Edinburgh. The absence of noise and
cleanliness of rubber floors make them
suitable for hospitals and other insti-
buttons. A firm exhibits q new limo
1eum rubber, and it was stated to-day
that if it succeeds on the market it will
consume 10000 tons of rubber a year.
Rubber flooring for railway stations
is suggested by way of reducing the
noise and turmoil, and Sir Ernest
Birch offered to make a present of a
rubber floor to any railway company
that would make the experiment.
The production of rubber grew from
four tons in 1900 to $4,000 tons
last year, and something like 80 per
cent OF that rubber is British A hun
tai Is invested in the industry. America
is by far the greatest consumer, and
about 70 per cent of the rubber pro-
duced Is used IN motor cars,
