Declares That Restrictions

From Every Autoist.

Washington, Dec. % Lpl-A move
ment to cut down American con
sumption OF rubber has been Or
ganized with the backing of Secre-
tary Herbert Hoover and represent
atives OF the principal rubber con-
suming trades.
Within a few hours after the
house had ordered an inquiry into
charges OF a British monopoly of the
sources of rubber production, Nj.
Hoover conferred here last night
with spokesmen for the National
Rubber association and the national
automobile chamber OF commerce.
and laid out a program to arouse
the public to the necessity of econ
omizing on rubber,
Cooperation Is Asked
| Every automobile user and every
garage and service station manager
was asked by Mr.. Hoover today To
cooperate with the rubber trade in
getting longer mileage for tires ana
more use of repaired tires and In re-
claiming old rubber.
I'VE can reduce our consumption
OF rubber by 25 per cent, without
decreasing the use OF our cars
single mile" said Mr.. Hoover. If We
will simply repair our tires in time
and use them carefully. We ask for
no self-denial, we simply want bet
ter use.
our tires are like clothes
tpatch in time saves nine"
200 Million Annually
Mr.. Hoover asserted that nearly
seven hundred million dollars year
was being eXaoted from the rubber
using public by the British East In
dian rubber combination.
Originally the producers fived IS
cents pound as a reasonable price,
but under the successful operation
of scheme to restrict production,
Mr.. Hoover avowed, prices have
been raised to three times the orig
inal figure.
He estimated that as result from
$50 to $40 per year was being ex-
tracted from every automobile user.
The campaign TO economize In
rubber will be extended to other
rubber trades in case 1t is necessary
to bring down the price.
Attacks British Combine
Mr.. Hoover repeatedly attacked
the British rubber combination and
recently warned that unless there
was a change OF policy, decided
steps would be taken In this coun-
try to meet the situation.
In ordering an investigation yea
terday the house acted on resolu-
tion by the republican leader, Rep
resentative Tilson OF Connecticut,
l, and with the support also OF rank
ing members OF the minority party.
The resolution also directed the
investigating committee to inquire
into the situation as regards other
: products, including coffee and pulp
wood, and the campaign launched
today by Secretary Hoover appar-
emily was intended partly as q
warning of what can be done ir
other industries where foreign
monopolies exist.

A. Griffith should reach down in
to the celluloid slime which has en-
Veloped this splendid actor and
raise him to a pedestal above the
marionette mob-to a station above
the seX-appealing sheiks and flap
perish danes who cavort to the click
OF thousands per week.
Walthall, portraying the role of
the heroic Little Colonel in D. w.
Griffith's Birth of a Nation " won
the hearts of a nation eight wears
ago as no actor has done since or
before.
Born of the south on a farm near
Birmingham, Alabama, Walthall is
OF the aristocratic school. He bears
the distinction of being a gentle
man. In his youth he worked on his
fathers farm. At night, when the
ploW was Stlll IN the furroW, he
pored over Blackstone's Common
taries. Drab routine of law irked.
So he left home in 1901 and went
to New York. Few filings on the
stage then followed the beginning
Of his screen career under the tutc-
lage Of the master of them all, D.
w. Griffith.
Walthall would like to make an
ether picture with Griffith.
1t has been eight years since Wal
thall worked for Mr.. Griffith.
Griffith is imbued of an eccen-
trio determination. 1t seems that
once his puppets desert his film fold,
never are they allowed to come

One Cues ton
That Puzzled
ROadCOmmittee

ATLANTA, Aug. 2O.-What to
do was question that sorely tried
n group of senators Monday night.
The group composed the highway
committee of the senate, of which
Senator Forster Memory, 46th, is
chairman.
The committee had before it a
bill by Senator Andrews of the 31st,
to keep closed a road part of which
is in Habersham county and the
rest of il in Banks. The idea was
to keep another branch of the road,
about 500 feet longer, in use so
as to divert the traffic through
Baldwin, little town in Habersham.
Cornelia, over in Banks. wanted the
cutoff" opened so the traffic
wouldn't be stopped off in Baldwin
but would come straight to Cor
nelia.
Usually, senatorial courtesy set
ties such matters and committee
recommends the bill as the senator
Introducing it desires. And there
ny hangs the mecdote.
Habersham county is in Senator
Andrews Senatorial district, Banks
is in that of Senator H, P. Della
Perriers. Neither of the senator's
live in the county of his district
that is in the fight. The two are
the best of friends and the only in
terest either had was in carrying out
the wishes of their constituent coun-
ties. Consequently, they agreed to
waive senatorial courtesy, for both
to withdraw from the committee
and let the matter be settled on its
merits.
Senator DeLaPerriere won and
the bill was adversed. Cornelia gets
the trade the traffic the cutoff will
bring.
