NEW YORK, April 24.-Three
new steps In rubber manufacture.
which, it is claimed, represent the
biggest forward movement since
determination, were announced today
by c., B. Seeger, chairman Of the
board of directors of the United
States Rubber Company, in a letter
to stockholders. The three pro
cesses are: Sprayed rubber; web
cord, a fundamental Improvement
in the art OF cord-tire making and
q new method of building and
vulcanizing cord tires.
Sprayed rubber" the letter said.
lis the result Of new method OF
producing crude rubber from the
original latex, and insures for the
first time since rubber was dis.
covered, a pure and absolutely uni
form product.
.'The Few spraying process takes
the latex, sprays 1t into snow
white mist, and brings this snow
white mist into contact with pure
superior heated air, driving out the
water OF the latex-and nothing
else. Sprayed rubber is 100 per
cent the pure solids from the virgin
latex. No acid, no smoke. It is
dry and pure and remains So"
Sprayed rubber is said to be su.
perior to the crude rubber manu-
featured now because it is produced
without being impaired by chem
icals and without the destructive
effect of machine working, so that
1t is uniform in quality, something
never before obtained.

In Action Forty Years.
The Anacostia Citizens Associa.
ton was organized about 1882. In
1921, the association was reorgan.
lied and its name changed to Ana.
costa Citizens Association and
Board Of Trade. The association
as now organized consists of a civic
section of 400 members and a bust.
ness section OF seventy members.
It's dues are 81 year for the
civic section and $40, for the bust.
ness section. 1t Is governed by
the president and board of four.
teen directors, equally divided be.
tween the two sections.
Under the early leadership of DR..
Havenner, the association was in.
strumental in securing a charter
from Congress for the first electric
street railway to operate electric
cars in the territory south of the
Anacostia river and across the Ana.
costa or navy yard bridge.
Residents of Anacostia who be.
belong to the association take pride
In spreading their belief that their
section from home, topogra phic
and health standpoint ranks second
to none in the city, They also con.
tend they have fewer fevers than
any other section in the city.
