MAY MAKE USE OF AlRPLAnE
Value In Campaign to Control
Insoct Pests.

As a result OF experiments carried
on during the past two years in spray
ing trees with poison distributed by an
airplane, In the campaign to control In
sect pests, 1t has been considered ad-
visable by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture to make number
Of tests this SUMMER to determine
whether the nghter-than-air machine
can be used Satisfactorily. Arrange
ments have been made between the
Department Of Agriculture and the air
service Of the War department to use
. motorized balloon for this purpose
The work will be conducted in the
gpsy-moth infested area In New Eng
land. where an attempt will be made
to devise equipment that can be at
tached to the balloon 80 that a poison
spray can be applied In forest areas.
Numerous tests have been planned to
determine whether this method of
spraying II effective and economical.
Department officials hope that the re-
suits may be Of practical importance
In the treatment Of forest areas infest-
ed with leaf-eatihg insects.
This method Of spraying is relatively
new, and as poisonous dust can be
applied more rapidly from the air than
liquid spray from the ground, it is
necessary to determine the effective
ness Of the former method and whether
or not the application can be made ut
an expense that will warrant its use
on large scale.

HIS REMEDY KR INSOMNIA

but Il Was Satisfactory In This
Physicians Case.

The first three doctors to arrive
for a meeting of the Medical society's
directors were general practitioner,
a surgeon and specialist In cura-
tive psychology.
The talk fell to insomnia as they
whiled away the waiting and, as doc
tors will. they came at last to their
own experiences.
Il stick to the old reliable formula
when / can't sleep--I count sheep"
said the general practitioner. I've
counted millions. It doesn't seem to
work very well, but nothing does"

turned to the third-"maybe psychi-
airy has something more certain than

The psychiatrist grinned through
his distinguished gray beard.
"Well," he said, II can't give any
definite formula, but TIL tell you the
prescription I follow myself. Wake

The idea Of Forest Protection
week originated in the heavily tim

In 1920 1t proved to be so popular
and such a widespread demand for its
observance sprung up in all sections

made 1t national affair in 1921 by
issuing a proclamation. 1t has been
observed nationally each year since
then. 1t has no official connection

Pullman taundries Kept Busy.

The Pullman company probably has
Numbered the greatest quantity of
linen of any concern in the world. In
one year 3O0,000,0OO pieces were
cleansed, this total including $751;
$40 coats worn by porters and wait
ers. Sixty-f1ve laundries handle the
Pullman linen, and they are frequent
ly inspected and constantly checked
to see that the special formula pre-
scribed by the Pullman officials is fol-
lowed In the washing AS the linen
comes from the mangles It is inspect
ed, and such articles as are torn or
stained are set aside. Hopelessly
soiled linen is thrown away, while the
repair rooms attend to the slightly
torn articles. The total linen repaired
at all points for one month amounted
to 316,S04 pieces.

New Red Bird
Has Longer Wheel Base

A roomier body wide deep seat
cushions, a wheel base of 106 inches
and a spring base of JIG inches are
features in the new Overland Red
Bird that set it apart from the usual
so-Called sport model. AS a matter
of fact the WHY'S Overland Com
I'pany has radically departed from
the stereotyped design of the speedy
fleet lined touring car by furnishing
plenty of room for comfortable rid
ing on all roads.
This distinctive quality in this
class of automobile is specially en-
phasized by the heightened wheel
and spring base. The wheel base is
106- inches while the spring base of
1'6 inches on the celebrated patent
ed tripleX springs makes easy riding
doubly apparent and appealing to
those discriminating people who
want graceful lines concurrent with
pleasant agreeable riding qualities.

Did You Know

That the higher rate of wear on
your rear tires is not due to any
extra weight at the rear. but to the
strain on the trcads in stopping and
starting? And that the wear is
greater due to acceleration than de-
celerationp The brakes of most
cars are not sufficiently we'll adjust
cd to permit the wheels to be
locked, while almost all cars are
capable of sliding the wheels bit
in starting. Here is where the wear
is excessive because the spinning of
the wheels is repeated so frequently.
A good way to get into the habit of
starting and stopping less abruptly
is to compare the rear with the
front tires at regular intervals. If
the rear tires are wearing more the
chances are that your driving is still
orratic.
That is is occasionally permissible

best plan is to do the job Just prior
to using the car. as the pressure of

swimmers will attempt to cross the
English channel from Dover tomor-

They are Charles 10th, who made

and the second time within five
miles, and Sam Richards, who sur

It's Rubber, Rubber
For Everything
These Days

New York, Aug. 10.-W. o. Ruth
erford. Vice President of The. B. +.
Goodrich Rubber Company has been
elected President of the Rubber
Association of America it is officially
announced by the Board of Direc-
tors. Mr.. Rutherford at once en-
!! tered on his duties and will direct
the affairs of the association in what
is one of the most important periods
of the rubber industry.
One of the youngest men who
ever held the Office, and one of the
youngest who ever headed a big
basic industry, he was chosen to
work out some of the vital problems
which at this time confront the rub
Der manufacturers on this side of
the. Atlantic.
The rubber industry year by year
has been calling for a type of ad-
ministration realized only by those
who realize its magnitude. Rubber
manufacture today represents a bill
lion dollar industry. II has become
one of the most basic industries of
the world.
In the proportion that rubber has
worked itself into every phase of a
civilized life, it has grown in rela-
tive Importance to other industries.
With the possible exception of one
automobile manufacturer, there is
more capital invested in rubber
manufacturing than there is in MAX
ing automobiles.
Some idea of its development can
be gained by a comparison of the
figures of rubber used at the
time the determination process was
discovered. At that time the
only rubber used was forest rub
Der brought from the Para Dis
trict of Brazil. Even so recent as
1906 the amount of forest rubber
used in manufacture represented
$1,000 tons. and that of plantation
rubber as 800 tons. Today the an
nual consumption of plantation rub
Der is more than 100000 tons,
against $4,000 to 10000 tons of forest
rubber.
The different rubber articles man.
ufactured run into thousands. There
is no industry that does not employ
it in some form of its work. There
is no time in the twenty-four hours
of the day when the individual man,
woman and child of civilized society
is not getting the benefit of its COM
fort convenience and protection, di-
reCtly or indirectly.
Men active in the rubber making
realized that never before have con-
ditions and circumstances called for
such constructive administration.
Not only must the industry cope
with the regular economic problems
of this country: and the whole world,
but it has problems that are indi-
vidual to the rubber industry alcne
