THREAT OF LASH
 PREVENTS CRIME
At Least Keeps It Down in
 Delaware

Wilmington, I1e.. May ' lPl- Since Colonial days miscreams in Delaware have had the whipping post staring them in the face. Nu- meFous crimes today-predou4i ly, burglary theft and highway rob- bery-ara punishable by, the lash
 The National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters cited the Delaware whipping post as the reason for a recent g Is per cent reduction in hoijup, burglary anI theft insurance in the state. Court records show no revival of the post aud tho lash, although this form of punishment never has been allowed to want ny Delaware judges.
 Highway robbery laws have been exceedingly drastic for the last four years, however carrying doub.e penalty Of forty lashes and q mini mum prison sentence Of twenty years. The whippings usually are incidental to jail sentence.
 Whether reduction Of crimes of this character and consequent low erius Of insurance ratcs is attriHu- table directly 10 the whipping post the report and action Of the National Bureau has been interpreted in Delaware as q significant commau- tary on statute which has weathered many and severe criI- cisms and been branded a relic of the dark ages.
 Lashes were flying in all parts of the state in 1921 when judges were imposing maximum sentences 10 the post in an attempt to break Up an epidemic of highway robbery. In that year the legislature iucraasd the highway robbery prison sen tence from a maximum of F years to minimum Of 70 years. The whipping statute was left uu- changed.
 Crimes punishable at the whip ping post, and the lashes prescribed, i Include:
 Highway robbery-40 lashes.
 Plain robbery-20 lashes.

American Chemical Society's Organ
Tells of New Process Making

NEW YORK. November lob
tects of any shape may be covered
with a layer of rubber, varying from
fraction Of an inch to several inches
in thickness by a new rubber plating
process patented recently. according
to Industrial Engineering Chemistry,
official organ of the American Chem
ical Society. The process is based on
the electro-deposition of rubber, and
has been patented by DR.. Paul Klein
of Budapest and DrS. 5. r. Sheppard
and l.. w. Eberlin of the Eastman
Laboratories in this country, the
journal says.
The magazine asserts, ut is now
possible to plate molds Of any shape
with rubber of tissue paper thinness
to several inches thick"
"ArrangementS already are being
made with insulated wtre-makers to
use the new process in insulating elec-
fric wires more speedily and with a
FAR stronger coating" tn. article de-
clared.
"Rubber bands no thicker than a
thread have been manufactured here
under the new process, ai.d have been
found to be so much stronger than or
dinary bands as to defy breaking by
the bare hand.
"Other articles, such a ssilken-thin
tobacco pouches. bathing caps, gloves
and hot.water bottles. have been found
to possess far greater strength and
resiliency."
T'he electric precipitation is not lin

BY j. C.. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, November 16.-Gen
eral belief was expressed today by
investment bankers that the $780,
000,0 issue of per cent debenture
bonds Of the Standard Oil Co. OF New
Jersey, sale Of which was authorized
Monday, might already be considered
oversubscribed. That means that
they have been sold at wholesale be-
fore they were offered and that in
vestment houses all over the country
are anxious to secure an allotment
for their customers.
This fact does not reflect merely
the situation of the Standard OIL co.
Of New Jersey. It indicates the fact
there is a tremendous volume OF cap
ital in this country still seeking In.
vestment in securities issued and
backed by concerns with adequate
resources and successful and expert
enced management.
Accumulation of Capital.
This volume Of capital has been &C.
cumulated through the activity and
profits of the industries of the United
States in the last two years and from
a business viewpoint the most I'M
portant thing about the new stand
ard OIL financing Is not that 1t prob
ably will be easily placed in the hands
of Ultimate investors, but that there
is no sign Of dininution in the de-
mand for investment and therefore
no sign of sharp declines In business
activity in the near future.
There is usually slump IN invest

This generally is followed ny q re-

Instead of paying Z per cent or

the company will pay 5 per cent or
$12O, ,00O, 900 in debenture bonds ana
per cent with extras from time tc
time on an additional 3,449,317 shares
of common stock. The remainder OF
the sum necessary to retire the pre-
ferred issue at 115 will probably DC
taken from surplus, and since the
company held $11. .776.029 in cash and
$50,753,423 in Government securities
on the first Of this year. the sum re
quired Is merely nominal one.
In most instances preferred stock
is issued carrying a fixed and fairly
high rate of interest, because induce
