Some interesting facts showing
that It costs the householder in ru-
raj communities less money annual
" for water and sewage disposal
service from publicly owned eyetems
than from the individually owned
system. were pointed out by Mr..
Abel Wolman, Chief of the State
Bureau of Sanitary Engineering at
the regional health conference held
recently at Havre de Grace under
the direction of the State Depart
ment OF Health. The conference
was presided over by DR.. r. H. Ril-
ey.. Director Of the State Department
of Health.
Reporting on the progress that is
being made throughout the State in
establishing public water and sewer
age districts. Mr.. Wolman said that
systems have Just been completed at
Gaithersburg and Washington Grove
and the residents are being supplied
from supervised and protected water
systems. Bonds for financing the
installation of water and sewerage
systems have recently been sold in
La Plata and Rockville, which has
had public supply for some time,
is considering the extension Of the
system by which it is served.
The total cost for public water
and sewerage service, Mr.. Wolman
said. to the individual householder
in community Of from 200 popula-
ton upward, ranges from $25 to $45
annually, considerably less than it
costs the Individual householder in
an isolated section not having COM
munity service, to have his water
supply kept in safe condition and his
septic tank cleaned out.

contract for 1900, ,000-acre concession
on the Tapajos.
The loss of the former commanding
position in rubber production and ex-
port, the depleted state and federal
income because of this loss and the bitter
experience of seeing the worlds use of
rubber multiplied while BraZil's supply
of it was annually divided and deci-
mated has been the harder to bear,
because Brazil now sees that Sir Henry
Wickham should never have been
allowed to take the seeds of the Bra
lillian rubber tree from the plateauS
back of Boim, plant them in Kew Gar
dens and produce more seeds to be-
come the foundation of the rubber
industry of Malaysia, the competitive
production which economically cut the
throat of Amazonia. There is much
bitterness In Amazonia because of that
removal of rubber seeds for Oriental
plantations.
Recently there appeared the follow
ing in the Folha Do Norte, the north
ern press: Died in England, at 83 years,
Mr.. Henry Wickham, founder of the
culture of our rubber in the Orient"
Note "our rubber"
Since 1912 Brazil has had the burn
ing desire to find a friend who would
help put AmaZonia over and past the
stone wall with which fate and the
genius of the English, Dutch and
American planters of the Orient have
hedged her in.
Ford Move Lauded.
It is not surprising that there is re-
joicing among the laboring people of
this great area. And there is satisfac-
ton in the voice of every Brazilian,
who notes that the enterprise of Henry
Ford is to be undertaken in the very
area from which Henry Wickham took
the seeds of the Hevea.
Other factors in the economic and
social condition of Brazil which will
directly affect the Ford enterprise are
health and sanitation, labor, politics
and the factors of production costs,
transportation, etc.
There are some people here in Para,
some Americans, others attached to the
few companies still nibbling in small
way at the rubber business in Brazil,
who predict that the Ford Motor Co.
will not be able to produce rubber for
its own use as cheaply as it could be
bought from the plantations of the
Orient.

Besides this, the government pro-
posed to establish experimental stations,
build railroads, immigrant hotels and
hospitals, and for the relief of more
than 100000 people whose economic
status was seriously affected by the
rubber crisis the government proposed
various measures to encourage the pro-
duction of foodstuffs in Amazonia.
But the plans of the government,
nobly conceived, were very meagerly
executed because of lack of funds and
because big capital never responded to
the invitation to take and use land until
last year the Ford Motor Co. closed a

that crisis in rubber production. Capital
has not been forthcoming with the
enterprise and nerve which could
undertake the production of rubber in
the orderly manner pursued by the
companies of the Orient.
In the year 1880 the state of Para
alone produced 1913 metric tons of
rubber. This rose steadily to 16,398 in
1899, but other parts of Amazonia had
begun to produce, and Para's quota was
held down to 9,672 in 1907. Steadily
increased shipments from the Orient
came to market, and the market de-
mand increased rapidly in those years
with the development of the automobile
industry in the United States.
In spite of competition prices scared,
and hopes and plans with them. Para,
typical of all Arnazonian rubber-pro-
ducing areas, increased her output to
10,153 tons in 1909. Then came the
smash, in April, 1910. Since that date
there has been an almost steady annual
decline in the production and export
of rubber from all Amazonia. In the
year 1925 Para shipped 5,475 tons,
which is approximately the amount this
state will produce this year. Twenty
nine years ago Para shipped three
times this amount, and during this 29
years the worlds demand for rubber
has increased by several hundred
per cent.
Government Aids Industry.
In 1912, realizing that nothing but
the introduction of great capital in the
Brazilian rubber industry could bring
back to Brazil her lost position in the
rubber market, the federal government
promulgated a decree called 'defesa
CONGRATULATIONS of rubber. This
decree exempts tools and materials to
be used in the rubber industry from
duty; offers premiums for planting rub
ber trees, establishing factories for
refining rubber and manufacture of
rubber goods; exempts vessels in river

STATE G. o. P.
MAY AVOID ROW
fractional Split Unlikely
instruction Big Prob
lem--No New Platform
By Richard Hamilton

Now comes the republican state
convention at Yakima Saturday,
to take the political spotlight and,
naturally enough, there is consid-
cradle speculation as to how the
republicans will behave. On the
sidelines, the democrats are cheer
ing for cat-and-dog fight, hoping
for a widening of the factional
break in the republican party;
while the republicans, SOLDERING as
the hour of reckoning approaches,
are whispering more and more of
peace and the welfare of the par
ty. Yet, while the tendency is adj
mittedly toward harmony, there
will be plenty of loose dynamite
lying around and the leaders will
have to do some gingerly handling
to keep the Yakima convention
from flying off the handle, as it
were.
1t is quite likely that the split
over Gov. Hartley will be kept in
the background. The governor will
probably not be present, and, If
he sends word, being the titular
leader of the party, it will be a
rousing cheer for the glory of the
Grand Old Party. In other words,
so far as Mr.. Hartley is concerned,
there will be no provocation or. ex-
cuse for a factional row. Of course
some of the governors hackers
would be tickled to wade in and
take a chance on running things,
as they did at Longview two years
ago; but it seems that the counsel
lors of calm and party peace are
in control of the. Hartley faction,
and they favor the policy of Glands
off" The idea, of course, is to
make it easy for Mr.. Hartley, if
he wins the nomination, to raise
the call of the party as he steps
out to meet the democratic nomi-
nee.
If there is fractional row, it
will probably be provoked by the
group opposed to the governor.
But they are also committed to
harmony. just what would happen
in the event of a fractional fight is
difficult to say, because, in the
absence of a test, it looks as il
the $50 delegates are almost equal
ly divided for and against Mr.,
Hartley. The close division is prob
ably the most substantial guaran-
tee of harmony.
The three-cornered fight for ma
tional committeeman continues tc
be the big problem before the re-
publicans. The three candidates
Richards of Yakima, Perkins Of
Tacoma and Condor of Kitsar
county, are securing the brush fol
votes, but none is within hailine
distance of 4S1 votes, the number
necessary to win. It is doubtful i
anyone has more than 800 vote:
tied up. altho their claims tota
several hundred votes more thar
$50 of the convention. 1t is the big
fight. Usually such fight is set
tied in smoke-filled room tn
night before the convention, blu

Astronomical Mystery

The stellar universe has back
ground Of pearly white, which al
ways finds the field Of telescope
with faint luminosity, and astron-
omers are guessing as to whether
this shimmering shroud is made OF
quadrillions of suns, or whether the
universe is immersed In nebulous
matter. The pearl veil is torn In
places, at least hundred jet-black
wells of dark space being shown
In the constellation Sagitarius and
Scorpio. In one Of these dark fields
is Antares, which Is computed to be
at q vast distance from the earth,
and to have $1,000 times the mass
Of our sun.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1928-05-03

it would not be surprising to see
this fight reach the convention
floor. In the meanwhile, there IS
more and more talk of clark
horse" some suggesting Ed Sims,
some mentioning Mark Reed, and
others guessing that the place will
eventually go to someone who has
not yet been proposed.
Of the three, however, it looks
as if Mr.. Richards and Mr.. Per-
kins are the main contenders. Mr..
Condor will go in with a pretty
fair hand, but with little chance OF
helping in the draw. One reason
is that the Condor candidacy is
utterly disliked by the Hartley
people, being the one thing that
is most likely to provoke the Hart
ley crowd to wave the flag. They
are "off" Mr.. Condor, chiefly be-
cause he is of the senatorial or
ganization that so bedeviled the
Hartley administration in the last
legislature.
But the Hartley forces have no
choice between Mr.. Richards and
Mr.. Perkins, altho the Yakima man
appears to be the unofficial fav-
orite.
Some strife will develop, either
before or during the convention,
over the question of sending an in
structed delegation to Kansas City.
1t was tacitly understood that the
Hoover managers would waive in
struction, but some of the Hoover
workers and newspapers are per-
sistently demanding a clear-cut,
definite declaration in favor of
Herbert Hoover. They claim that
the state is so overwhelmingly for
Mr.. Hoover that anything short Of
instruction would not adequately
reflect popular sentiment.
Moreover, the Hoover managers
in Washington d. c., are bearing
down on Charles Hebberd and Sem
ator Metcalf, who are close to the
commerce secretary, for 100 per
cent, tied-down Hoover delegation
from Washington. Their plan is to
marshal all strength. possible in an
effort to win on the first ballot.

Expresses Contempt

The tongue has a single gesture,
and everybody knows what IL
means. 1t is thrust out to express
contempt. The little girl who sticks
out her tongue" does not realize
that her action, so unladylike, harks
back TO the prehistoric. 1t is un-
doubtedly a most ancient mode OF
conveying the idea of intensified
disrespect. Everywhere In the
world, among savage and civilized
peoples, the lingual gesture has the
same recognized significance.

British Coal Abundant

For her size, Great Britain has
more and better coal than any other
country in the world. The coal
seams, lying one below another to
an unknown depth, not infrequent-
ly cropping out at the surface, are
proof that tropical conditions once
prevailed In the latitude Of these
islands. The district which as now
Great Britain was connected In
primeval times with the continent,
and the coal of England doubtless
runs under the channel and the
southern part of the North sea,
continuing In the coal fields OF
northern France, Belgium and Flan-
ders.

Matter of Meals

While in the largest cities 1t is a
fact that the heaviest meal OF the
day occurs at night, 1t is also a fact
that In the smaller cities, of 2OO,-
600 population and below, the heavi-
est meal occurs at noon. The rea-
son for this is, of course, that In
the largest cities there Is an exc
dus at evening to the suburbs,
where the family reunion is held
over the dinner table, whereas In
the smaller cities people are able
to go home to midday lunch.

There are many eggs of small In
sects that are Matching all the time.
The ray of sunshine, falling weakly
upon the side of tree or upon an

these eggs, and the little creatures
wobble through the frozen air for a

they are brought into the world too
soon. AT any rate they do not flour
