United States.

TURNING MAY NOT WORK.
Fan Belt Often Gets Out of Shape
From Use.

The plan of turning the fan belt in
side out, II it is slipping and you do
not have the tools with which to make
an adjustment. does not always solve
the problem. In fact. it may aggra-
vate It. A fiat belt, often becomes
concave after being used for a time,
this being due either to the shape of
the pulleys or to the fact, that the
middle of the belt may stretch more
than the edges. When you reverse
such a belt. its inner side is then
somewhat convex, with the result that
Il tends to ride of the pulleys.

n1ent will unquestionably adopt a new
and more drastic restriction of the pro
ductton and expectation of rubber, and
feel l should bring to the attention
of the American car owner the full
import of what this means.
THE minimum price of rubber under
the. new restriction is to be set at AZ
cents per pound. The Stevenson restric.
ton act as originally adopted November
l, 1922, fixed the minimum price at
25 cents per pound. One of. the argu.
SCENTS for the adoption of this act by
she promoters of the scheme was to
stabilize the price of rubber between
rs and 80 cents per pound, but instead
OF fulfilling this function, 1t not only
increased the price beyond all reason
able limits, but also through resulting
wide fluctuations made a very un.
stable. speculative and hazardous con-
dition for the rubber manufacturers.
Rubber was selling around Ia
cents per pound when the Stevenson
restriction act became effective. The
act allowed so per cent of normal pro-
duction to be exported and called for
quarterly reviSions, according to the
price of rubber. That is, If the price
of rubber fell below an average Of rs
cents per pound for any quarter an
additional 5 per cent restriction would
be placed. and If the price of rubber
for any quarter averaged above 80
cents an additional per cent would
be released. In this way, it was
stabilized between rs and 80 cents per
pound.
Price Quickly Advanced.
Immediately upon the adoption of
the restriction act the price of rubber
advanced. The first quarters average
was above rs cents per pound and sold
as high as 38 cents per pound, with
practically the same available rubber
stock In the world as existed in the
previous quarter. when rubber was IA
cents per pound. 1t was not until the
second quarter of 1924 that the aver
age price Of rubber fell below % cents,
at which time an additional per cent
was restricted. Next quarter rubber
was still below Is cents and a. further
per cent was restricted, thus allow
ing only 30 per cent of normal pro-
duction to be shipped from the British
colonies.
These additional restrictions adj
vanced the price; in the last quarter
of 1924 the price Of rubber averaged
above 80 cents per pound and per
cent was released. The price con-
tinued above 80 cents-in fact, sold as
high as $1.23 per pound in 1925-and,
according to the provision of the act,
100 per cent of standard production
was released on. February /, 1926.
These additional releases of rubber
brought the price of rubber down
from over 81 per pound during the
last quarter Of 1925 to an average Of
so. cents per-pound ia April 1895 -.
ION April rs of this year. the
British colonial ONCE announced that
if the price of rubber for the next
quarter, beginning May I, did not re-
main above AZ cents per pound for
the quarter, it would place a new re-
striction on rubber allowing only 80
per cent of normal production to be
exported in the following quarter,
starting August /, 1925. Rubber
continued to decline rapidly until 1t
reached AZ cents, and now the aver
age price for the quarter is around AZ
cents. AS there are over $4,000 tons

''The Sea Beast Ship
And Her AdUentures

Strange tales cling about The
Three Brothers Of New Bedford,
the old whaling vessel which was
used in John Barrymore's latest
production for Warner Bros,
''The Sea Beast" which shows at
the Monroe Theatre today for the
last time.
She is an old vessel. Eighty
years hang over her head and yet
she is still az seaworthy as the
day she was built. Her sturdy
keel has played the waters Of all
the seven seas, from Cape Horn to
the ice Of the arctic circle, and in
that time she has been captained
and mated by many men of many
kinds. If her carven figurehead
could open its lips and speak it
would tell many narrowing tale
Of bloody deeds done in stealth
in the dark forecastle or on the
open deck, in defiance Of the laws
Of God and man.
She went TO the bottom once,
stealthily in the dead of night, and
only the watch escaped with their
lives. When she was raised again
another very heavy hull was built
over her old one and she was used
by a famous arctic explorer in an
expedition into the land of eternal
shows. At this time, she was
equipped with a steam engine
which has since been taken out.
In the great ice flows Of the
north she would draw back like a
knight in the joust, and running
at her greatest speed ram lane
through the obstructing ice. But
once she got caught between two
great flows and her crew Of six
teen men were at last forced to
walk 500 miles over the frozen
wastes to safety. Only four Of
them arrived.
During this time and before the
men lived on a mixture Of flour,
beans, prunes and rice, all cooked
up in the same kettle. This was
the trip on which the captain
went off his nut" and took six
men who had slightly offended
him ont on the ice, lined them
up, and calmly shot them down
with high powered rifle. The
present mate of the boat, a Nor
wegian, actually saw this horrible
deed Committed.
On lie high seas the captain is
tho direct representative Of gov
crnment and God Almighty, and
there Is no appeal from his slight
est whim Needless to say, the
captain who committed this deed
Is atening for it right now with q
life long sentence in San Quentin
hanging over him.
