WAX FROM A MEXICAN WEED.
The Once Despieed candeIlIla Now
Il Worth $500 or More an Acre. a

Inc OHCe OespiGeo Candetilla NOW
Il Worth $500 or More an Acre. q
The discovery by Oscar Pacius OF
Monterey, of process for extracting
wax from the candelilla weed is caus-
ing the establishment of new in
dustry in Mexico and Texas. The
candelilla grows abundantIy upon
many millions of acres of semi-arid
land In northern Mexico and parts OF
Texas. Arizona and New Mexico. Land
owners who have this formerly de-
.spised weed growing upon their hold
ings are now In a fair way to reap a
fortune.
When It was discovered a few years
ago that good grade OF crude rubber
could be manufactured from the gua-
yule shrub experiments began to be
made by Mr.. Pacius and others with
various other kinds of Wild vegetation
to learn if they possessed commercial
properties. MIR. Pacius found that the
cadelilla contained wax to the amount
Of 31s to Az per cent. He gathered q
supply of the plants and began expert
ments with view OF arriving al
process OF economical extraction Of
the wax. He perfected this process q
few months ago and it is now in prac-
teal operation
The manufacture OF this vegetable
wax is already on paying CONNER
cial basis. The demand for the pro-
duct comes at this time chiefly from
Germany. The present price OF the
wax in Mexico is 5000 gold ton. 1t
is said that 1t takes about thirty tons
Of the weed to make one ton Of the
crude wax. The cost Of producing a
ton Of wax is SIS gold.
The land upon which the candelilla
weed grows profusely is producing a
big revenue in the localities where
factories have been established. 1t is
said that where land is well set In the
plant 1t can be made to yield a profit
of 5000 to $500 gold an acre year.
The candelilla wax is said to be
harder than any other wax This fact
has caused 1t to be in demand for the
manufacture of monograph records,
pharmaceutical articles, varnishes,
shoe, leather and wood polishes. in
sulation In electrical wiring. gums.
candles and many other things
The fact that the guayule shrub
and the candelilla plant are now
known to contain valuable commercial
properties has aroused the interest of
the Federal authorities of Mexico and
II Is said that series of chemical
experiments and tests Of the various
other desert plants which cover great
stretches of land In northern Mexico
will be made under the direction of
the Government with the view Of dis
covering any commercial properties
that they may contain. One plant
which grows profusely along the Rio
Grande Is called gubernador and Is
being used extensively for the man
ufacture of boiler compound. There
are also two or three kinds OF shrubs
and weeds which possess cleansing
properties almost identical in effect
with washing soap. The roots Of one
OF these shrubs are used by the native
Mexicans to the exclusion Of manu-
featured soap.

International News Service.
Lines were being drawn today
for a first-class scrap in the COM
ing session of Congress over the
publicity clause Of the income
tax law.
The arrival Of members in great
numbers has afforded leaders on
both sides an opportunity to count
noses, and from present indica-
tons it appears that party lines
will be badly split and the issue
closely drawn.
Norris To Lead Fight.
The attempt to wipe the section
off the statute book, it appears. may
even result ultimately in the
enactment Of even more drastic
publicity regulations. The Insur-
gents, who accepted the present
regulation as compromise, orig.
inally proposed that income tax
returns be made public documents
in entirety. The present clause,
making public only the payment
made, was adopted over the pro-
tests of the Insurgents, who finally
voted for it.
Senator Norris Rep.) Of Nebraska,
one of the Insurgent leaders, today
gave warning that the Progressive
bloc would seek more drastic pub
licity provisions If the admins

Tenants all over the United
States, oppressed by exorbitant rents
and more outrageous demands, are
looking to Washington for the
establishment of National Ten

Brown, secretary of the local or
gapization, declared today.
Mrs. Brown stated mat several
tentative proposals from various
parts of the country had been made
to her for the organization of a
national body, to protest against
rent increases.
The District Tenants League
gained nationwide publicity a few
weeks ago by asking President Cool
idge to turn over the Ellipse for
the use of evicted men and women.
Since then the papers of the coun.
try have carried. stories of develop.
ments in the local situation.
Too Busy Now.
Mrs. Brown said she was too
busy with Washington affairs at
present to consider forming ma.
tional association of tenants.
Preparations are being made for
the mass meeting at Central High
School in the near future and after
that, we will have our hands full
with matters pertaining to. rent
legislation on Capitol HILL" Mrs.
Brown stated.
The membership of the local
league is well up In the thousands

or to advise with them as to pro.

Mrs. Brown said that no definite
