out rubber? Shoes, coats, blan-
kets, bottles, cushions, auto tires,
erasers, tennis balls, rubber
stamps and countless other uses
make rubber of incalcuIable value
in our life today.
Yet rubber in a practical form,
dates only from 1910.
To a New Haven hardware mer.
chant belongs the credit of the
discovery Of vulcanizing which
made a useless substance so USE

tie and highly prosperous hard
ware store. He was born in 1900,
the same year that the first rub

chain of the lunar Apennines, that
Professor Pickering has made some
of his most satisfactory ohserv-
ances Of recurring and systematic
changes indicating volcanic ac-
tivity OF the kind already de-
scribed. 1t is very easy TO see
Eratosthenes and many of Its de-
tails with a small telescope. Mag
nifying powers Of 100 to 200 amply
suffice.
Another feature of the lunar
scenery that Professor Pickering
has called attention to Is the
variety OF colors to be seen there,
some of which exhibit remarkable
and apparently systematic altera-
tons. He says: Beyond the
whites and grays the only color
that is clearly seen upon the moon
is the yellow Of the brighter
regions"
Nevertheless, to a person with
a color-sensitive eye four other
colors may be detected tintinx
the various grays, but visible only
by careful comparison with other
grays assumed to be Of natural
tint. One of these is red. This
consists of reddish brown area

we could get there we should

TVEN those who have little

~ William H. chickering's ny.
pothesis that some kind of life
still exists upon the moon, must
be fascinated by his detailed de-
scriptions of surprising changes
of form, color, position, etc.,
which he has been studying
among the mountains, craters and
plains of the earth's satellite.
People who have never looked
at the moon through a telescope
have no notion of the extraor-
binary beauty and variety of it's
landscapes. When to such at
traction is added the possibility
that all is not dead there, the
lure of the lunar world becomes
irresistible.
Professor Pickering believes
that some Of the volcanoes of the
moon are still active, not how
ever, by extruding streams of
lava but by giving out puffs of
vapor, which, in some cases, con-
dense on the rims of the crater
cones, or in hollows, in the form
of snow or frost. It is charac.

which vary from twenty to fifty
or sixty, or more, miles in diane

President American Society for Thrift
VTARIOUS authorities who have
" made surveys of the fraudu-
lent investment situation are
agreed that the annual losses thus
sustained by the people Of the
United States amounts to ST..
000, 900, 900.
One way Of looking a this mat
ter is to remember that the sum
lost through illegal investments is
Just about equal to the total
amount Of our annual savings
bank deposits.
And there still is another way
of looking at it.
An eminent economist estimates
that the total yearly savings of
the American people amounts to
$12, 900, 900, 900. This includes all
net additions to our national
wealth both through the saving of
money, through investment in dur
able goods and through increases
in values. 1t is the net annual
profit of the great American fam
lily. A third of a century ago the
total wealth output Of our nation
was no greater than our annual
net accumulations of wealth to-
day. England and Germany be-
fore the war added only about
one.sixth of this great sum to
their material resources.
The fact that we thus are able

was waterproof and rubber blan-
kets.
Goodyear took out sixty patents
on his rubber inventions, but
most of them failed to attract
the public. He earned a fair liv-
ing, that was all. In 1851, after
a series of experiments to make
rubber hard, he succeeded. Then
1t became possible to make such
things as combs, buttons, bottles,
inkwells, penholders, etc.
Rubber goods now began to be
in demand, but Mr.. Goodyear was
a poor business man and he died
in poverty.
Today great rubber factories
bear his name. The uses of rub
Der are boundless. Five or six
million motor cars are travelling
on rubber tires. It's use in such
inventions as the telephone, it's

other gases, water vapor is
emit led.
This explanation Of the curious
appearances presented by these
objects is opposed to the view
that has been widely held, as
Professor Pickering says, by
many sidereal astronomers un.

This idea he rejects as the re-

suit Of his intensive studies Of
many Of the regions where the
questionable phenomena are seen.
1t would seem, also, If Picker
ing's Interpretation is correct,
that snow may account for the
Wilderness of other mountain sum-
mits on the moon besides those
intimately connected with the
craters. Thus he says: What
may perhaps be described as the
'prettiest,' and possibly the most
convincing, view Of the little
white areas that we attribute to
snow, is at the third quarter of
the moon, just as the sun is set
