was Jack, outside the bars, adorfngly
gazing at lioness.
He was brought back. Shortly after
the circus left town Jack left also.
He was not at the lion house at the
Zoo. Possibilities are discussed on
the block that he may have found
some new charmer In the menagerie
of the circus. The hunt for him in
Washington. however, Is still con-

a result of his former residence in
the Old Dominion. but that Is the
only sure way to tell him from other
fat stray collies.
Miss Downey is waiting for word

are waiting for him. And, who knows.
perhaps a lioness at the Zoo misses

Since rubber first became an article of
commerce nearly century ago one of the
bugbears of the industry has been the utter
lack of uniformity in the crude rubber as
it came to the factories to be manufactured
into rubber goods. There has been some
improvement under the plantation meth
DDS but it can readily be seen that with
so many different plantations there has
been of necessity wide variation in the
rubber produced. Under the new process
developed by the United States Rubber
Company uniformity is at least established,
it is claimed, and one of the biggest obstaces
to successful manufacture disappears.-Ex.

she was apparently making headway in

INDICATED BY
SUPERVISORS

DR.. C. s. Brooks is feeling gra-
titled today rs result of the ae-
tion taken Yesterday afternoon by
the board of supervisors after their
visit yesterday afternoon to the
county farm.
Some weeks ago, f. G. Weir, SUI
perintcndent of the county farm,
filed with the board of supervisors
Il complaint in which it was sta
ted that DR.. Brooks, in his capacity
of county physician, was neglectful
of the welfare of the patients at
that institution, both from the
standpoint of time spent there and
treatment given.
The supervisors, accompanied by
DR.. Brooks, journeyed to the coun-
try farm yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of looking into the mat
ter, and expressed themselves as
entirely satisfied with the manner
in which the county physician is
handling the situation. 1t was
therefore decided by them to make
no changes i'll the present person
mel or system.
