Origin Friction Matches

In 1927 John Walker. a druggist in
a small English town, tipped a splint
with sulphur chorate Of potash and
sulphide Of antimony and rubbed it
on sandpaper and it burst into fame.
The druggist had discovered the first
friction chemical match, the kind in
use today. 1t is called friction
chemical because it IS made by mix
ing certain chemicals together and
rubbing them.
Although Walkers match did not
require the bottle of acid, it never
thelcss was not a good one. 1t could
be lighted only by hard rubbing and
II spluttcred and threw fire in all
directions. In a few years. however.
phosphorus was substituted on the
tip for antimony and the change
worked wonders.
The match could now be lighted
with very little rubbing and it was
no longer necessary to have sandpa-
per upon which to rub it. 1t would
ignite when rubbed on any dry sur
face and there vas no longer any
spluttcring. This was the PHOSPHORUS
match. tile match with which we are
so familiar.
After the invention of the easily
lighted PHOSPHORUS match there was
no longer use for the dip-splint or the
strike-a-light. The cid methods of
getting blaze were gradually laid
aside and forgotten. The first phos-
phorous matches were sold at 25 cents
a blocl1-a block contained ia match
es-and they were used by but few.
Now a hundred matches can be
bought for cent. 1t is said that in
the United States 10000, 600. 900
matches are used in year. This. on
an average, is about five matches a
day for every person.-Boston Herald.

Preparations to
Look Over Russo
German Pact Friday

Paris. Apr. 19-(By A. L. )-The
treaty between Germany and Russia,
signed at Rapallo last Sunday, prob
ably will be formally placed before
the Preparations commission next Fri
day when the commission will begin
an inquiry to determine whether the
agreement conflicts with the treaty
Of Versailles.
In commission circles this evening
it was pointed out that the commits
sion probably would decide that the
Rapallo pact was in direct violation
of Article 24S of the Versailles
treaty. This article in effect gives
the commission first lien or all assets
of the German empire.
While the members of the COM
mission rcfraired from formally
commenting upon agreement, the
general feeling was that the agree
ment ought to have been submitted
to the commission for approval. 1t
was considered probable that the
commission would demand in a note
to the German government. submits
sion of the treaty. The unofficial
Xiew was that Germany had violated
Article 2iS OF the treaty of Versailles
by applying her assets or resources
to purposes other than Preparations.
1t has been suggested by some eX-
perts that the Rapallo agreement
might prove a good thing in that it
might increase the paying capacity
of Germany. but from political
standpoint the effect of its signing
was considered as very bad. on the
other hand it has been pointed out
that Germany. under the treaty with
Russia. gives up PREPARATION claims Of
between 100000 and 20,00O,000
gold marks against Russia, thereby
reducing her paying capacity by that
amount. The latter view is said to
be the one logically held by members
of the commission.
Polish representatives have pro-
tested to the commission against the
Russo Cerma treaty on the ground
that part of Poland which was in
Guided in the old Russia empire has
q substantial share in tie Russian
claim against Germany.
