the situation represented by the pre-
vailing high price Of crude rubber and
the determination on the part of the
rubber goods manufacturing industry
to do everything possible to protect
the interests of the American consum-
ing public, was indicated by the fact
that the directors of the Rubber AS
sociation of America, Inc, met in Ak
ron to discuss remedial meaSures.i
Calls for Vigorous Action.
"a careful survey of the situation
indicated that vigorous action along
the line of conservation practices can
be taken without adversely affecting
service to the public" it added.
Definite action was taken looking
to the reduction of excessive inven-
tories now being carried by manu-
facturers and dealers; first, by sub
stantial reduction in the number of
types and sizes of tires, footwear and
goods; second, by the
of all interchangeable
balloon tire sizes; third, the elimina-
ton of all second quality lines of
tires; fourth, postponing for five
months soliciting of orders for
Spring dating, no shipments on such
orders to be made before 1926"
The decision of the association to
foster a campaign for increased rub
ber production in the Island of Java
and other Dutch possessions followed
refusal of the British to rescind or
modify the Stevenson restriction act
which Is blamed, for forcing the price
of rubber from II to Is cents q pound
within q year.

or More Youths

Plans for the new buildings Of the
Washington Boys Club. which is
to extend the full benefit of the
social and athletic advantages OF
club life to the under-privlleged
boys OF Washington, were made
public today by the campaign ex-
ecutive committee which is to raise
$3.50 900 for the project and a two
year budget to run It.
The elevation drawings and floor
plan show a simple but substantial
structure which will take care, for
many years to come. Of the boys
who can not enjoy the advanta ges
of clublife elsewhere, whose parents
are employed, and the boy whose
home life is not pleasant and who
might otherwise be on the street
or in the pool room.

signed primarily as an indoor play

ing automobile mechanics, wood
working shop, a print shop and per
hapS several others.

there is a lobby with offices adj
joining and on the G street front,
