WHY RUBBER IS EXPENSIVE

The prices Of automobile tires have been advancing rapidly
during the past few weeks. The cause, we are told, is the un-
precedented rise in the price of crude rubber, which has advanced
from Sc cents to $1.15 a pound. The advance is due to the
corner on the crude rubber market by the British, who control
the rubber output of the world.
There have been vehement protests from tire manufacturers
and from automobile users. Conferences have been held with a
view of remedyng the situation. 1t has been suggested that
Americans go into the rubber growing business. This might
ultimately bring relief, but the trouble is that five or six years
must elapse at best, before American crude rubber can be
brought into the market.
The reason that America has depended upon British crude
rubber is that the British, using native labor, could produce it
cheaper. According to free trade doctrine the arrangement
should have been ideal. But unfortunately it did not work out
that way. The cheapest market has become the dearest.
The free traders maintain that we should do the same thing
about sugar-buy in the cheapest market. Eliminating the
sugar tariff would cut off the American production because the
Cuban producer could undersel the American producer. But
what would happen when the willy Cuban had eliminated all
competition? Exactly the same thing that has happened in the
rubber situation.
1t is human nature to demand the highest prices when one
has a corner on the product. The only way to prevent being
held up is to prevent the corner, and this can best be done by
Observation-Disclosures rubber coming from the Philippines or
other points in the tropics would do this Just as American sugar
is doing it. The cheapest market in the long run may become
the highest market if domestic competition is eliminated. The
rubber situation proves it.

AUGUST

What is the matter with August? 1t is the only long mid
period of hot days, few showers and no HOLIDAYS. There
Is not even a suggestion of a national celebration between hide
pendence day and Labor day.
August was not always the forgotten month of the yea
In early times the name was unknown. When the year was
divided into ten months by the Romans the period of heat and
humidity marked by dry rivers, lakes and creeks, was called
Sextlls. History says it was Caesar who changed the seasons
and gave us the month of Augustus, now shortened to August.
Why not consult the ~goddesses, Ceres, Pomona and Flora,
and get a proclamation naming some day in August for a ma
tional festival, in commemoration of cereals, fruits and flowers
Or why not get some tabled acknowledgement to set apart a day
for national aquatic sports and lven up the month of August
There are enough days to spare, the time between light and
darkness is long and the danger in outdoor revelry is not so
great as in some other seasons. August days and vacation-time
are too bright to be passed in the hum-drum of everyday ex
istence.

HARD TINES

A portrait painter sat in his favorite cafe in Paris slipping
his wine. His first small bottle finished, he was about to order
more when his eye fell on a headline in the Figaro, Hard Times
are Coming" so instead of ordering his usual second bottle he
called for his check.
"Is there anything wrong with the wine" asked the land
lord.
"The wine is good, but 1 did not order a second bottle be-
cause hard times are coming and we must economize," ex-
planned the artist.
Hard times" said the landlord. Then my wife must not or
der the silk dress she had planned, but must take one of cotton
Hard times" repeated the dressmaker when the order was
cancelled. "This is no time to expand. | must not make the
improvements 1 had planned on the place"
Hard times, eh ?" said the builder, when the dressmaker
cancelled the building plans" Then l cannot have my wife's
portrait painted"
So he wrote to the artist and cancelled his order.
After receiving the letter the artist went again to his ia
vorite cafe and ordered a small bottle of wine to soothe him.
On a nearby table was the paper in which he had read of hard
times two days before. He picked it up and read more closely
and found it was two years old!

me increasing use of gas is an inevitable result of modern
demands OF comfort and efficiency, to which must be added that
growing conviction that human life and property are suffering
1ncalculable damage from the smoke evil.
progress OF fuel conservation depends upon the progress
OF gas utilization. The public is beginning to see this truth and
act accordingly. The gas industry has grown because it has
saved COAL, labor, and money for the public.

American Chemical
Society Meeting

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 3.-(AP)-
There are probably three more ele-
ments to be discovered, was the
prediction ventured by DIR. Willis r.
Whitney. of the General Electric
Company, Schenectady, N. Y, in an
address before the American Chemi-
cal Society tonight. Discussing
'Matter-Is There Anything In It?"
he said science now has reached a
stage where a physical picture of the
structure of atoms is more intricate
than any earthly model, and more
perfect geometrically than any
known celestial system.
Making new cancellations from
the work of j. ]. Thomson and r. A.
Millikan, DR.. Whitney said:
"Matter~is at least not merely dry
and hard, nor yet soft and wet. 1t
Is electronic and celestial, whatever
that may mean, and the most we
know about it is that it is almost
entirely space. 1t is as empty as
the sky. 1t is almost as empty as a
perfect vacuum. although it usually
contains a lot of energy.
All the elements from the smallest
to the largest, the speaker declared,
can be constructed by orderly as
sembles of positive and negative
electrons. OF the atom, he said it's
actual smallness is impossible to
realize, but so much seems known
of it's dimensions that we must &C.
cept it and try to apply it.
"a molecule of water" DIR. Whit
ney illustrated. contains two atoms
of hydrogen. Suppose we start with
one single drop of water and let all
of its hydrogen atoms appear in turn
as drops Of water. If these were as
large as raindrops they could cover
the whole world with a foot of
water"
Another illustration which DR..
Whitney gave was that If one of
these hydrogen atoms were made so
large that it became a yard in
diameter, its electron still would be
only pinhead in size and it's
nucleus 1000 times smaller.
The speaker described the
composition of matter as the
chemist now sees it and demon
strated by experiments the realities
of the unimaginably small particles.
He said he wanted to go as far as
he could in pointing out the vacuity
of matter as scientists persist in
specializing and experimenting on
the atom because everything we
know Is made of atoms.
There are only a very limited
number Of different kinds" said DR..
Whitney. "These differences explain
all differences we can probably ever
know in our universe. Thus far, the
more we have sought to under
stand them, the more we have gain
ed in appreciation of an unexplored.
unlimited territory of interest and
service.
From the original atom of our
youth, indivisible by definition, we
now have a specious and diyisible
atom. They differ from one sub
stance to another. This difference
is produced by increasing quantities
of something already present in the
smallest ones.
