Rubber Trees Flourish
In LuZ0n Is Discovered

Manila. Feb. ga. P. by MailD-
That Para rubber trees will flourish
IN TIE southern provinces of the
Island of Luzon within the typhoon
belt. is the conclusion reached by A.
w. Prautch, agent of the department
of agriculture, who has Just returned
from an extensive inspection trip
through the provinces of Albay and
Camarines Sur.
After traversing the same region in
these provinces where IL years ago
some 10000 Para rubber seeds,
brought from Singapore, were
planted, Mr.. Prautch declared in his
report to the department that he
found hundreds Of rubber trees that
have grown to maturity and are now
surrounded by the jungle, owing to
lack of attention.
Some 10000 Para rubber seeds
were purchased by me in Singapore
and brought to the Philippine Islands
in 1872" said the report. 1.-The gov
eminent took a keen interest in this
movement to encourage rubber grow
ing and 1 was employed several
months in making a campaign in
Camarines and Albay provinces to in
terest the people in the cultivation Of
the rubber tree. The seeds We're all
distributed and planted. They grew
well and today many are large ma
tured trees.
I'm most cases the seeds were given
to caretakers of distant hemp planta-
tons, and where this was done the
trees grew. However, as the rubber
tree does not produce in less than
four years, interest had died before
the end of that time. The trees ma
tured. the seeds dropped, terminated
and produced young trees, but today
the tropical jungle surrounds them.
Il counted more than 600 large
rubber trees of 20 inches or more in
circumference. and found one tree
which measured 80 inches in cir
conference. I counted 10S small rub
Der trees under one large tree These
sprouted from the seeds which fell
last August and September. I found
many of these self-planted trees as
thick as a mans wrist and smaller.
"The impression widely circulated
that Para rubber trees will not grow
md flourish in the area where ty-
'lhoons prevail is myth, as the sturdy
trees which ] found completely refute
hat argument. 1t is certain that
these trees will stand any storm, as
ICY sway III lile StlOlISeSL WIFI llhe
bamboo. 1t appears that someone
expressed the opinion that Para rub
Der would only thrive outside the ty-
phoon belt and would not grow in the
Philippines north of the Island of
Mindanao. The thousands or more
trees planted in an exposed position
that actually have weathered many
severe typhoons in Albay and CANA
rines show that this theoritic guess
is not founded on fact.
81 am thoroughly convinced that
rubber trees will thrive wherever
abaca (hemp) trees are successfully
grown"

The historical service Of the French
war department has beaten all rec
ords in the preparation of it's first
collection of documents relating to-
the World War. 1t took the same
service 40 years to complete the
compilation OF the history of the war

equal amount of work in about one
tenth the time.
Documents We're collected and
classified as the war went on. and
this work still continues. The docu-.
ments already fill four flours of the
big Babylone barracks in Paris, and
General Girard, who directs the
work,anticipates that larger quarters
will eventually be needed.

FOR PATRONS OF THE

The Picture Screen-in olden days
known as "the Picture Sheet'-has
evolutionized like other equipment
for the proper and progressive pre-
sentation of Motion Picture. Out of
the many kinds Of picture screens on
the market, two styles stand pre-
eminently out. There are the White
Screen" and the other the Gold Fibre
Screen" The former is more effec-
tive of the two: it presents a picture
of sharp, distinct outlines, as in
black and white tones of photog-
raphy, with sharp. clean-cut con-
trasts of definite lines. With proper
projection, carefully measured throw
of the light rays. commensurate with
the sizes Of the lenses used-prefer-
ably spaplight lenses, the motion
photography is distinctly clear and
beautiful to look at.
This is the sort Of screen that is
going to be presented to the patrons
of the Augusta Opera House, in ac-
acknowledgement Of their steady and
increasing attendance. The man.
agement feels that the best 1t can
give is the least it can do for them,
under present existing conditions,
| and the new screen. with it's special
settings will be doing it's bit towards
inviting continued favors of the pub

Monday.
The heart Of the motion picture
theatre is its screen, and even a $1,000

fastidious asset where the ocular
