HOOVER VISITS SCENES
 OF HIS CHILDHOOD DAYS
Makes Sentimental Pilgrimage to Haunts He Knew As
 Youngster

Portland, Ore, Sept. 10.-Senti- man or a woman back to the scenes of ildhood-recently impelled Her bert Hoover, secretary of commerce, to visit his boyhood haunts in Ore gon. A new light is thrown on this noted American by the pilgrimage which he has been making to some of the smaller towns and rural com- munities in this state, where he has renewed old memories and sought out friends of long ago.
 Hoover never has been given to personal references, so it was some what surprising when he admitted frankly the mission which had brought him to this state.
 My visit is altogether matter ot sentiment" he said. T want to visit the towns where I lived when a boy, hunt up my old friends, fish the familiar streams and at least take peep at the old swimming hole"
 And so, Hoover, eXcusing himself from newspaper correspondents and from all public engagements. has been going over the old trails wher. as an orphaned lad he gained an education and cultivated the traits of industry which since have been factors in making him a world fig ure.

VALUE 0F LATEX
 STRESSED TODAY
This Is Milk From the Tree Giving Rubber

Philadelphia, Sept. 10 LF - The commercial value of latex, the milk from the tree from which rubber Is derived, was stressed at the crude rubber symposium Of the American Chemical society today.
 A new process in which latex in its milky form i. first vulcanized and then evaporated, reversing the pre- vious practice. was said by Dr. Philip Schidrowitz, a leading rubber technologist of England, to be high ly important in improving the quality of rubber cords.
 This new process, he said. ex- cludes heat, which tends to destroy fabric. Industrial application of latex in tire manufacture was declared by pr. Schidro8itz to be a notable de- velopment.
 In making direct use of latex, he declared, modern science was catch ing up with the untutored natives of the Amazon region, who since 1736 had been coating linen with milk white liquor with which they also were making water-tight boots.
 Dr. A. Van Rossem, of Delft, Hol- land, told of the effect of different metallic substances in the soil on the quality of the finished rubber. He told the symposium he had been sent to America to cooperate with the rubber industry of this country in an effort to find new sources of raw rubber.
