Financial Plan Opposed.

Opponents OF the Government call
this poor financing on the part of Cuba.
considering that other Cuban govern
nnent bonds bearing the same interest
rate are quoted above par. It is COM
monty stated that the American in
weston is not quite SATISFIED with the
legality Of the Machado bonds, which
would explain their unmarkera bility
and their present low quotation on the
New York market.
The last $4,000 900 loan will mature
next March, and there is no money in
sight to take 1T up. On the contrary
the Cuban government has a floating
debt of about $4,000 900 representing
work already completed by contractors
and past due. Business has been so
bad generally that tax collections have
dropped far below the estimate on
which the ordinary budget Of $77, COO, 900
was based
A conservative estimate of the deficit
for the present fiscal year is $4,000
900 The public works special tax has
also dropped at the rate Of 1000, 900
year from its former $4,000 900 level.

lions TO pay for the completion of the
Central Highway and other work con-
tracted for by the government.

DIPHENYL USED AS
 CHEWING GUM BASE
Chlorine Discovered Aid By Commercial Manufacturers

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 9 Pl-Syn- thetic chewing gum, made by add ing a dash of wartime chlorine to a new substance produced from ben gene, is one of chemistry's latest marvels.
 The new chew is described in a report made public by the American Chemical society at its meeting which began here today,
 It substitutes for chicle. and, like the natural product, is tastelcss and odorleSs. Experiments with it are incomplete and not in the commer- cial stage for gum, but indicate that as chew it would have a medici- nal effect.
 The gum is an incidental discov- cry in a score of new commercial possibilities. some already in prac- tice, all coming from this same new chemical, diphenyl. These commer- cial uses are reported in a technical paper by Chester H. Penning, of the commercial research department of Swann Research, Inc, of Annlston, Alabama.
 Diphenyl is milky colored solid made by uniting two benzene mole cules, which thereupon become so different in character that instead Of being explosive they are a substitute for steam for carrying heat It was demand Of gasoline refining for this heat carrying property that recently brought diphenyl into existence in quantity.
 Chlorine Familiar
 All the new substances reported today are obtained by simply adding to diphenyl various amounts Of chlorine, which besides being gas is familiar in the flavor of table salt.
 Adding 19 per cent by weight of chlorine makes a clear substance resembling water. More chlorine successively produces light oils, thick syrupy substances and finally light amber colored solid.
 All of these are virtually odor less ana IdSlel6SS, MT. l elllluS Say ,, except one which has distinctive but not unpleasant smell. Their concentrated vapors irritate the na- sal passages, and give some persons headaches, but no poisonous effects have been found
 MT. Penning says it appears pos sible to use them both for making flame proof and waterproof gar ments. They make wood virtually fireproof'' and add to it's strength. but he says are more expensive for wood freproofing than mineral salt processes.
 Other indicated uses include en- ployment as cement for rubber and for laminated glass. a material in printing inks, an artificial leather, in textile finishing, electrical insulation and mixing with such varied sub- stances as sulphur, rubber. asphalt. paraffin and natural waxes.

of Stevenson's body. Stevenson

OSCAR E. BUTLER SUCCESS
FULLY HEADS VETERANS

That "Old Stripe Organization"
known officially as the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, is an organization
composed of only those who have
seen service in some foreign coun-
try in the defense of the Stars and
Stripes.
Mr.. o. E. Butler first conceived
the idea to mould the local vet
Grams into an organization, and fol-
lowing this idea he called few
ex-service men together and there
came into being the Bernard Gibbs
Post, No. 1890, Veterans of For
eign Wars of the United States.
Like most organizations during
their first years of existence, there
was hard struggle, and often on
meeting nights no one was present
but Butler. However, he continued
in the faith, and after about
year he had five or six true fol-
lowers.
Having convinced themselves that
slch an organization was good, this
