The Belgian plan was present to
the Allied premiers, finance min
istcrs and international bankers this
morning.
In simplest terms. the last exist
;ng deadlock which is holding up
proceedings is due to the conflict
Of interests between the French and
the international bankers.
Premier Herriot is afraid to 90 too
far in making concessions for fear
Of the attacks of eX-Premier Poin-
care at home. The bankers cannot
go back on what they consider ne
cessary guarantees without ehdang-
cring the proposed $500, ,OO0,OdO loan
to Germany.
The French want lien on sane ,
tions, with France assured of some
thing from Germany. No matter
what happens, the bankers insist up i
on an adequate guarantees for the ,
loan and do not want Germany to .
be too hastily declared in default.
The principal argument, therefore
has been over who shall say wheth- !
er Germany is in default. There has
been no clash Of personalities thus
far, hopeful sign, although the
Allied chiefs are beginning to show
signs Of the strain.

Efficiency in
Production Is
Noted at Plant

The high degree to which produc-
, tion efficiency has been brought
| about in the plants of The Il. r..
tGoodrich Rubber Company, is par
| ticularly noticeable to a visitor who
calls at the plant ut this season of
the year.
Production of Goodrich Tires is
being accomplished through the
| elimination of lost time and waste
ut II saving >ich was undreamed
of five or six years ago. And the
, fact remains that probably the
most astonishing thing about this
! economy J. that with the advance of
efficiency in manufacture has come
ia steady improvement in the prod
; uct The result is that the standard
of service for tires has been consid-
erably raised over what it was few
years ago.
| III tn, old day one Of the biggest
! items Of waste in tire manufacture
came in the fabric that the tire
builder trimmed off. This item was
also very important gauge to
| the quality of the tire, for the tire
! builder who had Il large trim was
stretching his plies too much max
| ing the tire carcass too tight and
| susceptible to brcakage under strain.
| On the other hand the tire builder
whose trim was practically negljgi-
bic was not stretching his plies
tignt enough and the result might
show in wrinklcd ply which in the
end would weaken the carcass.
Since the advent of mechanical
tire building means the product be-
COMES more uniform and labor is
not such factor governing tire
quality. Today in the Goodrich
factory detailed records are kept of
the number of ounces of fabric
trimmed from each tire by each
building machine operator. These
figures are constantly checked by
inspectors and waste specialists who
are able to correct the machine or
builder when the slightest variation
occurs. In this way the high stand
ard Of quality that is so consistent
~ shown in long mileage records is
maintained in every tire produced.

San Francisco, May l5.-Bridges

: Engineers say that before the COM
pletion of the various programs for
I connecting San Francisco peninsula
with the mainland opposite, the in
1vestment may reach $2O0,0OO,OOO.
The largest projects planned are
: the proposed tunnel and bridge be-
tween San Francisco and Oakland
and bridge across the Golden Gate,
where the bay, between high steep
I bluffs, merges with the Pacific Ocean.
The Oakland subway and bridge
still are in nebulous stage, though
engineers declare them feasible and
"a matter of necessity sooner or lat
er. Plans for the Golden Gate span
have been drawn, however, and sub
smitted to the War Department for
approval.
according to the plans the Golden
Gate bridge, connecting San Francis
slcn with tier of northern Californi,
coast counties which are now Access
sible only by ferry or by round
shout overland journey, will be the
longest single-span suspension
bridge in the world. Engineers say
fit will be longer by 1,O4O feet than

fibers invented some years ago Is q
curious process. Quartz crystals.
which many country resident living
in regions where they are found has
fancied to be diamonds, are melted
with blowpipe and drawn out into a
thread with the aid of an arrow. One
crystal Is fastened to the arrow while
another is fixed in the fame. The
two are fused together. and at the
proper moment the arrow Is released
and darts away into fixed target,
drawing the melted quartz into a
thread the length and size of which
can be easily regulated. These
threads are very tough. strong and
elastic. They can he made so fine as
to be almost Invisible They are used
In instruments where completely
