 Those who see an agreement near say the visit of Henderson and Alex ander to Rome, would not be under taken were the way not already cleared for Italy's adhesion to an Anglo-French accord.
 The conviction is everywhere no- ticeable that the Anglo-French ac- cord is forerunner of 1talo- French agreement, and that both are assured.
 Reports have it that Italy already has conceded to France certain su- periority in capital ships, acknowl- edging the latter is necessary to pro- lection of French colonies. It gen. orally is agreed such a stand is a partial abandonment of former stands, thus bringing an agreement that much nearer.
 The British foreign secretary will consult with Mussolini in a deter- mined effort to complete the pro- gram mapped out-after earlier consultations with Italy-at Paris.

NEW PROCESS EXTRACTS
 RUBBER FROM MILKWEED

Proving that rubber can be made from milkweed, Arthur E. Berg quist, of Lindstrom, Mich., amateur research worker, built a model appa- ratus with which he has made small quantities of rubber. A tall odd shaped chimney carries a tank and wide-surfaced wheel at it's top. the tank being filled with milkweed sap. Heat from a birch bark fire heats the tank and wheel, says Popular Science Monthly.
 When these are thoroughly heat ed the sap is allowed to flow onto the wheel while it is slowly rotated. Solid matter sticks to the wheel. but liquids drop off into the chimney. The solids left on the wheel are raw rubber that is elastic and is said to compare favorably with the best rubber from plantations in Para and India.

 REST. WITH ITALY
British Leaders Are Now in Rome COnferring With Muss0lini, Who Will Make the Final Decision
By EDWARD sTORER

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Rome. Feb 2k.-(UP)-The inn mediate hope for avoiding Euro day ith Premier Benito Mussolini who has proclaimed his desire for strengthening international peace as often as he has warned that Fas- cism would be "a hard foe."
 The British foreign secretary, Ar. thur Henderson, and Britain's first lord of the admiralty, A. V. Alexan- der, coming here by night express from Paris, carried with them the unsigned accord by which France and Britain yesterday agreed to French naval limitation dependent upon Italy's acceptance of restric- tions on her naval program.
 It was believed almost assured that Italy will join the accord.
 With the naval forces of Britain Japan and the United States al- ready limited under the London naval treaty of 1890, acceptance ot the proposals by Mussolini would be of great significance in world disarmament efforts. Failure of the negotiations which have advanced with whirlwind rapidity this week, would be 8 serious setback.
 Ino general impression In ItoHei as we'll as in Paris and London, was that the negotiations would be car ried to a satisfactory conclusion. Il was believed that only radical and quite unexpected developments would ruin the present favorable prospects for an accord.
 The Fascist government was known to desire an agreement if 1: could be arranged without forcing Italy to relinquish in principle, her demands for strength comparable to any European nation.
 Heavy taxes. unemployment and the worldwide economic crisis have added to the pressure against vast expenditures on armed forces, and increased the general desire for an
