FORTUNES ARE SAL LVAGED
FROM COPPER WASTE
New Inventions Result in Saving
of Millions of Pounds in
Lake Regions.

HOUGHTON, Mich CP).-For many
years fortunes in native copper were
poured into inland lakes and Lake Su-
perior from the stamp mills Of mining
companies on the Keweenaw Peninsula
OF Upper Michigan. Research has en-
abled the salvaging of much of the
waste matter.
Before the efficiency expert came
with his relief copper mixed with sand
after several grindings was lost because
the gravity concentration employed in
the mills to separate sand and gravel
was inadequate. So millions of pounds
Of copper were dumped.
In 1915 an ammonia process was en-
ployed for the treatment of tailings of
conglomerate ore, and this method, with
oil flotation. reclaimed for the Calumet
& Hecla Co. 1877 1892 pounds of copper

ARTIFICIAL COTTON
FOUND IN BIRD NEST
Probe of Interior Discloses Mate
rial Believed to Be Accept
able as Substitute.

LONDON @-A singularly con-
structed birds nest found in British
Guiana has led to discovery of weed
product Investigators believe may be
used as substitute for cotton.
Observation of the birds habits re-
vealed that the nest was made from q
fibrous substance obtained from the
stem of a common wild plant, a weed
that can be grown anywhere. SubSe-
quent research and experiment have
given promise the plant may be used
as a substitute for cotton, America S
leading article of export to Great
Britain.
Already several hundred acres are
under cultivation in parts of Essex and
Sussex and it is predicted that some
| 5000 900 or 100000 pounds of fiber
will be ready for the market next July
| It Is said the weed can be cultivated
| to produce an annual crop sufficient in
quantity and quality to supply the en-
| tire cotton industry'S demand for coarse
count, a product in which the competi-
| ton in America and Japan Is especially
keen.
| It is declared by the English Artifi-
cial Cotton Production & Marketing
Corporation, which is sponsoring the
project, that this artificial cotton" has
certain advantages over real cotton In
| that it yields more readily to dyeine
and is less inflammable. Moreover, the
corporation says, it will be possible tc
put the substitute on the market at Q
price lower than that of ordinary cotton
and that the plant is not subject tc

BANK OF GERMANY DISCOUNT
RATE WILL, BE READJUSTED

mercialization" of Germany's political
debt-in other words, distribution
of its debt to individuals at home and
abroad. This would be done through
series of large international loans to
which the German people would be
expected to subscribe as well as inves-
tors in France, England and in the
so-called neutral countries of Europe.
The proportion Of the loan to be as
signed - the United States has been
placed as h4gh as 81 $1,000000,000.
The difficulties that face any such
proposition at present are the state
of the American money market and the
low level Of prices at which the entire
German list Of provincial, municipal
and corporation bonds is selling. Many
of these give return of between 612
and ia per cent, which would make
hard shedding for those whose business
it may be to float per cent loan,
although this might have behind it the
best assets which Germany possesses
and which do not already underlie the
German government per cent bonds.
France has this year been large
lender in Germany on short term
paper. In order to secure what she
considers to be her due in reparatlonS
payments, she might be willing to take
a substantial slice of the loan, as her
resources are much greater than they
were in 1870 when she paid OIL her
war debt of $1,000, 100000 to Germany
in record breaking time.

WHITESBURG, Ky, December 25.-
There will be real Christmas celebra-

lage this year after IS years of wait
ing and hoping.
It's because Jim Stamper came home.
For IS years two brothers and two sis
ters had wondered and worried about
him. Each year they gathered around
the family Christmas tree to make
merry, but each year his absence cast
gloom over the group. This year it
will be different.
Sixty-five years ago Jim said good-by
to brothers and sisters and trudged
away, boy of IA, to make his way in
the world. The other day he came
back, grizzled and gray and possessed
of the fortune he went to seek, to spend
the holidays with his family.
Jim's story of his life sounds like a

200 miles on foot to Lexington KY, to
reach a railroad. From there he work.

Coast. Time went on and he bought a

day he is said to own one of the largest

RUBBER INDUSTRY
MERGERS RUMORED
Frank Soldering Mentioned
as Leading Figure in
Possible Combines.

pecial Disnatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, December 25.-There
has been much talk recently Of vast
consultations in the rubber industry
usually with the name of Frank A.
Seiberling figuring prominently In the
| merger.
Mr.. Seiberling, who is SO, left Heidel-
berg College, in Ohio, at II, and went
| to work in his fathers factory. At 80
he managed to purchase an old plant i'll
Akron, Ohio, and started in the rubber
business He had little capital, but
much industry. His then small buSi-
ness has developed into what is COW the
/ Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
Active in the development of the or
| ganization from the start, Mr.. Seiber-
ling became the president in 1898. The
company'S growth kept pace with the
| expansion of the industry. 1t had its
| largest year in 1919, when sales in
| tires totaled $168,000000, and net
profits were $23,000,000.
Then came the after-war defiation
| of 1921, and at So Mr. Seiberling found
| himself in a desperate financial JAM
! He sacrificed his home and all his saw
| ings to carry his company over the
| crisis Then he resigned.
He had close friend in an oil man
from Texas. Edgar B. Davis. He helped
| Mr.. Seiberling at this critical Leriod.
Mr.. Seiberling started again. He re-
covered his fortune. Today he is che
of the largest individual holders of
| Goodyear stock, if not the largest. He
formed the Seiberling Rubber Co. after
his retirement from Goodyear. Last
year 1t had net profits of Sl,356,000.
Mr.. Seiberling has never speculated
in stocks. He is not a stock market
operator The New York Stock Ex-

It was his suggestion that started

THRONE Of SAMOA
STILL IS VACANT
Tribal Chiefs Fail to Seek
Post Made Vacant by Ia
maSese's Imprisonment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
APIA, British Samoa, December 25.-
The kingship of Tamasese, deported
chief Of the Samoans, was still vacant
today. No tribal chief has aspired to
the leadership Of the Samoan League,
which for more than two years Tam
aseSe had stirred to disobedience of the
laws and regulations of the New Zea-
land administration of Western Brit
iSh) Samoa.
Leadership responsibilities of the
element opposed to the government
and the legal risks, including deporta-
tion, have deferred any one from laying
claim to the kingship.
TamaseSe, who arrived In New Zea-
land this week to begin a six-month
sentence for refusing to pay tax judg-
mentS, is said to have lost caste among
his followers. He is declared to have
shown such poor spirit when he was
arrested November 81 that he lost their
support.
Each of three other chiefs, arrested
last week for continuance of the Samoan
League OF passive resistance of non
payment Of taxes, was sentenced to
three months in prison for contempt
OF court. One, Asi Vatav, was sentenced
to six months additional because he

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 25.-One of
the first readjustments of the inter-
national money market to be made in
1929 will be a reduction in the discount
rate of the Bank of Germany below
per cent Throughout this year it
has been the highest Of any of the
important money markets of Europe.
The time has now arrived for reducing
it in recognition of the high ratio of
reserve held by the Reichsbank due
to long period of gold increases.
The statement of the bank today
showed that in the past week its geld
reserve had increased $10,000,000.
bringing it up to approximately $780,
100000, compared with $465 100000 a
year ago and little over $100,000,000
when Germany was placed on a gold
basis in 1924 Its current gold reserve
Is considerably higher than that of
either the Bank of England or the Bank
of France.
A reduction in the German discount
rate would have not only beneficial
effect on domestic credit, but would be
important politically, and from the
standpoint of the negotiations about
to be entered into in connection with
fixing reparations payments. One of
the proposals concerning these pay
mentS is that of a So-called COM

NEW YORK, December 25.-Many
observers believe that the prices at
which stocks open in the morning indi-
cate the trend of prices. They say that
business men stock buyers, constituting
the most substantial class of stock pur-
chasers, place their orders to buy or sell
"at the opening" The suppoSition is
that these men do not wish to follow
the hourly fluctuations, but are content
to make their decision from more fund
amental premises and then get the
matter off their minds by buying or
selling at opening prices. Thus by OBJ
serving the proportion OF buyers and
sellers in the morning, traders believe
they have a good barometer OF the fu-
ture.
Many stock brokers undertake to es-
innate the predominance of buyers or
sellers on the floor of the Stock Ex-
change at the opening by merely max
ing a hasty survey and flashing over
the wires to their correspondents, Sell
ers around the room" or Buyers around
the room" This mental survey hardly
seems as useful as one made by watch
ing the actual prices at which stocks
open in the morning in relation to the
previous nights close, for such study
weighs the interplay of buying as well
as selling forces, taking both into ac-
count in relation to volumes.
Opening Prices.
The price at which a stock opens in
the morning is determined, of course,
by the point at which buyers and SELL
ers can agree on price. When morn
ing after morning there are more buy
ing than selling orders received by
brokers to execute at opening prices,
stocks will open higher than the previ-

"BOOTLEG" LOANS DENOUNCED
IN AYRES' BUSINESS BULLETIN

"They are usually made by banks
acting as agents, but they are not loans
involving an increase in bank deposits
and so they do not require an increase
in bank reserves, nor do they operate
to stiffen interest rates In fact, they,
tend to ease interest rates
What of the future? The stock
market will be sweet music in 1929 to
bull operators If bootleg" money con-
tinues to flow in without check. Stocks
will rise and profits will be plentiful.
This is the almost general opinion of
the economists.
But should the bootleg loans recede
or contract, or even stop expanding,
watch out. In Col. Ayres' words: "Con-
tinuation Of prosperity Of 1929 is de-
pendent on continuation of credit ex-
pansion, which, in turn, appears to de-
pend on progressive increases in loans
made to brokers by corporations and in
dividuals for in the absence of such
increases the tendency of bank credit
will almost surely be to contract, with
consequences adverse to business

EMIGRATION LABOR
PLANK is RUMORED
British Party Is Expected to Press
Plan to Transfer 250,000
to Dominions.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 25.-The recent
announcements of labor leaders,
notably that of Arthur Henderson.
former labor home secretary, have led
to rumors that the party at the next
general election will make one of its
main planks a scheme to transfer at
least 250,000 men from Great Britain
to the Dominions, with free passage
and guaranteed employment at fixed
minimum wages.
Mr.. Henderson in speech at Ponty-
pridd, said he would endorse a WE'LL
considered policy of state-aided emigra-
tion with special application to miners.
Inquiries among leaders of the labor
party and the trade union movement in
London have not confirmed the report
that the plan would be plank in the
party platform. It appears, however.
to be fact that the labor party has
had under consideration the posSibili-
ties OF an emigration policy on general
lines.
